Karonga Museum

Specifically went for the Malawisaurus and a bit of understanding of origins tribes Karonga. It's okay.. nothing really distinct over other museums I have visited before, perhaps save for the Malawisaurus.

I had a wonderful experience in Karonga. What i didn't like was just the weather. It's a hot place, you have to go mentally prepared. I enjoyed their lake, pretty descent. Their delicacies were everything. Good kondoole, thendo la mtedza and many things I got to enjoy. Most of all, I saw the tallest mango trees for the first time 👏

Nice small museum. It spawns a small collection of items related to geological development in the region. It also tries to give a small localized slave trade history. Finally, it's biggest atraction is huge dinosaur skeleton. The entrance fee is 5k MWK.

Very informative on general history of Northern Malawi and so great to see the dinosaur artifact! They could do better with outside signage.

Visited October 2020. Looked closed and almost abandoned from the outside, but turned out to be open! Fascinating museum, really well laid out with informative exhibits. The building is beautiful too especially from the inside with its curved roof. The museum director is also a character with lots of stories on the history of the building and museum. Cafe in the car park was open too. Well worth a trip to Karonga.
