Mbeya - gateway to Malawi, Zambia and beyond
Mbeya is an ideal stopover for anyone traveling on to other countries in East and Southern Africa

Every year we welcome visitors who are stopping over in Mbeya region before traveling South to Malawi, Zambia or Mozambique. We provide transport and guiding services for them and also help with their onward journeys to our East African neighbours.
Be aware of imposters
There have been several scams operating over the past couple of years with bus tickets that claim to take people through to Malawi. At the time of writing there is no through bus service to Malawi.
We always recommend that visitors make contact with Sisi Kwa Sisi before they arrive so that we can advise them on their onward travel arrangements and, where necessary, meet people when they arrive. We are also aware that people sometimes operate around the bus station claiming to be from Sisi Kwa Sisi but who have no connection with our business.
We can also provide help with your travel arrangements to and from Mbeya and provide advice to people traveling onto Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. We also have contacts with several travel companies in Dar es Salaam.
New airport at Songwe
There are plans to open a new airport at Songwe(South of Mbeya) in late 2011. This will make Mbeya region more accessible for visitors with a limited amount of time.

We can arrange a car and driver to take you to the Zambian border. Or we can book tickets for you on the Tazara train which leaves Mbeya for Kapiri Mposhi twice a week.
