Travelling in Malawi means moving between Lilongwe, Lake Malawi and Liwonde. Our eSIM keeps you connected across all of it, from landing to departure.
Network coverage in Malawi
Coverage in Malawi comes from Airtel, giving you 5G where it is deployed and 4G everywhere else.
How much data do you need?
As a rule of thumb, 500 MB to 1 GB a day covers maps, WhatsApp, ride-hailing and social feeds. A week of city sightseeing usually fits in 5 GB; a road trip with constant navigation is better served by an unlimited plan.

Setting up your Malawi eSIM
Install the eSIM before departure and it stays inactive until it finds a network in Malawi. Your home number keeps working alongside it, which matters for two-factor codes and boarding passes.
Families sharing a route, couples navigating a road trip and solo travellers checking transport all need the same thing in Malawi: data that works from the first minute, without a shop visit.
Prepaid, no contract and no deposit: a straightforward way to have mobile data in Malawi from the moment you arrive.
