Jonathan, also check the date on which the fire extinguisher was last serviced- needs to be no older than 6 months. And it was not the border officials that gave us problems, it was the police that stopped us. If I can give you advice- get a carnet- it's bit pricey, but it takes away basically any r...

The exit out of Tanzania and the entry into Malawi was the quickest and most painless of the entire trip.
