How to get to Thuma Forest Reserve:

   

  • When coming from Lilongwe (M5): about 80 km from Lilongwe, there is an electric power station at the left side of the road followed by a baobab on the right a few hundred meters further. 200 Meters after the baobab there is a sign: turn right here and follow the road. 
  • When coming from Salima (M5): about 6.5 km after the turn off to Nkhotakota and 200 meters before the baobab at the left side of the road, there is a sign: turn left here and follow the road.
  • After 2.9 km you will cross Lilongwe  River.
  • After another 1.5 km turn to the right (follow the sign): after 200 meters you will go through a small village (Nkangayawala). 
  • 6.2 km after passing the village, you see another baobab at the right side of the road (with a Thuma direction sign painted on it): about 15 meters before this baobab turn to the right.
  • Follow this small road for about 400 meters and you will enter Thuma Forest Reserve.
  • In Thuma Forest Reserve: again, just follow the road that is clearly used most and after about 10 km you will reach our camp.
