Never thought there would be such a monument in Malawi. Nice place for an evening stroll after reading what's written in the monuments

Get up there! its not that scary. There is usually someone to let you in and guide you up the tower. They give you a great history lesson about the structure and the purpose of the tower and the proposed park area. Make sure to get all the way to the top. The experience was much better than I thought.

If your are afraid of heights then don’t go up the tower. But the guide was awesome and kind explaining everything clearly and properly. A place where you can just get your kids to learn about the history of malawi. Just remember to sign in the book before leaving
