Border crossing: Malawi to Tanzania
to 
Name: Kasumulu
No. of officials: 5
Building: 1 building for Malawi exit, 2 buildings for Tanzanian entry
Time taken: 2 hours
Other: Leaving Tanzania was a bit of a hassle as they needed to “make our visa” which look 25 minutes and turned out to just be a stamp with some writing! We also had to wait to pay the road tax of $5 for 7 days or $25 for 30 days. We also showed our yellow fever certificates here. The biggest annoyance at this border was money changers, in particular one who said his nickname was “Great Deal on ForEx” (a long story, best forgotten) – always know what you are exchanging and make sure you are given what is agreed – which can be challenging in a currency with so many 0’s…
Hassle factor: 8/10
Days in Malawi: 21
Days in Africa: 70
