From Phalombe, Mulanje, Thyolo to Chiradzulu in one day. This was one of the best days on the road, it was bit challenging as we spent so much on the road but the moments were memorable.

Phalombe is located about 44 kilometres (27 mi), by road, north-east of Mulanje, along the T408 Road. Phalombe's location is vulnerable for flash floods, which can easily occur during the rainy season. The most devastating one in recent history occurred in March 1991. Along the Phalombe-Mulanje Road, is a Catholic mission consisting of a Catholic church and the Holy Family Hospital. The hospital is run by locals in association with the Dutch charity Memisa and is staffed by Malawian clinical officers as well as Dutch tropical doctors. Holy Family Nursing College is attached to the hospital.

Mulanje is a town in the Southern Region of Malawi, close to the border with Mozambique, to the east. Mulanje is a tourist attraction and serves as a staging base for climbers who want to scale Mount Mulanje or those who want to explore the countryside at its base. Tea is mostly grown in Mulanje and the view is amazing when you passing the field.

Chiradzulu is a town in Malawi, It is famous because it is where the home and church of John Chilembwe is located. It was the site of European farming settlement. The Chiradzulu area has played a prominent role in Malawian history. It was where Livingstone helped Bishop Mackenzie found the Church of Scotland’s short-lived Magomero Mission in 1861. The largest farm in the Chiradzulu area was later bought by one Mr. Bruce, a stepson of Livingstone, and was managed by another member of the clan, Willian Livingstone – who would be decapitated in front of his family during the 1915 rebellion initiated by Chiradzulu’s most famous son, the Reverend John Chilembwe.

The Providential y an active mission with several points of historical interest.
