Can we stop at Dedza Pottery on the way to Lilongwe?

Absolutely — it is the natural lunch stop on the M1 and costs you nothing extra on a long-distance booking. Just mention it when you book so we plan the timing.

Taxi & transfer service in Dedza

Dedza is the highest town in Malawi, sitting around 1,600 metres up on the M1 between Lilongwe and Ntcheu. The altitude makes it noticeably cooler than the lakeshore and the surrounding hills are some of the prettiest country in the region.

For travellers, Dedza is best known for two things: the Dedza Pottery, which is the standard lunch and coffee stop on the M1, and the Chongoni Rock Art Area — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the densest concentration of rock art in Central Africa.

We pass through Dedza on every Blantyre–Lilongwe transfer and are happy to build in a stop. The town is also close to the Mozambican border post, which we serve for cross-border travellers.

Whichever journey you need, the next step is the same. You can book a Dedza taxi online in about a minute, arrange an airport transfer to or from Dedza with your flight number so delays are covered, or read how our fares are calculated before you commit.
