An hour south of Lilongwe on the main road to Blantyre is Dedza Mountain. From its summit (there is a forestry road up it) there are unimpeded views across Lake Malawi to the east and far into Mozambique to the West. At the foot of the mountain is Dedza Pottery where all manner of pots, mugs, and house decorations may be bought. a place you need not miss for Malawian souvenirs. In April and May this mountainous area becomes a flower garden as the cosmos blooms in fields of white, purple and yellow.

A popular whole day excursion, with the recent opening of the tarred Golomoti road, takes the visitor down the steep shoulders of the Rift valley from Dedza to Mtakataka and thence north to Salima and back to Lilongwe with many and varied roadside shopping experiences enroute. Perfectly formed models of cars and trucks in local woods are sold on the escarpment, giant man-sized statues at Mua (where there is also a remarkable Museum to Chewa culture and traditions).
