Workation in Blantyre: the essentials
Named after David Livingstone's Scottish birthplace, Blantyre is Malawi's centre of finance and commerce, with about 800,000 people spread across the hills of the Shire Highlands. The brick Church of St. Michael and All Angels, built by missionaries in the late 19th century, and Mandala House recall its origins as a mission and trading post. Chileka International Airport is about 13 km from town, and Mount Mulanje and the Zomba Plateau are both within reach for a weekend. Power cuts and fuel shortages have been recurring problems across Malawi.
