A tarmac road runs from Zomba town to the Ku Chawe Inn at the top of the plateau. The best way up if you do not fancy a 6 hour uphill hike is by taxis, which you should be able to haggle to around 2000 Kwacha $15 each way. Remember to take a number for your taxi driver if you want to be driven back down the plateau, but the walk back is beautiful and highly recommended.The walk down is quicker as it is quick down hill pace on tarmac.If you are happy to, large trucks which act as a bus service to those who live on the remote villages of the plateau, several times a day descend and ascend the plateau. If your going up the plateau wait up the road side away from the very center of Zomba close to the police station/prison - not as scary as it sounds!!If going down the mountain, stay near the Ku Chawe Inn and ask the curio boys when the last truck left. Make sure you leave plenty of time to catch a lift down!
