Is Lilongwe safe for solo female travelers?

Lilongwe is generally safe to travel to, but it is important to be cautious. Like in any other big city, it is advised to avoid walking alone at night and be aware of pickpocketing or scams. Reliable transportation, such as registered taxis, should be used, particularly after dark. It's best to respect local customs and traditions to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Hotels, restaurants, and major tourist sites are usually secure, though it's still prudent to remain alert and vigilant at all times.
