Peace Corps Evacuation COVID-19 Zambia

Peace Corps Evacuated 7,300 Volunteers Worldwide. This is My Story.

On March 15, 2020, Peace Corps director, Jody Olsen, posted an open letter announcing that due to the pandemic, all Peace Corps activity will be suspended worldwide.

Crossing the Border from Nakonde, Zambia to Chitipa, Malawi

Most people cross from Zambia into Malawi and vice versa via Chipata/Mchiinji. The roads are well paved, making it a highly traveled road a simple journey. However, we started from Kasama in Northern Zambia, meaning it would take us 24 hours of transport to reach Malawi. Plus I wanted to start in Northern Malawi and work our way down. There wasn't much information online on how to cross the Nakonde/Chitipa border, so I thought a write-up would be helpful for travelers.
