From beginning of 20th century, steamboats, brought by English people, was the most important means of transport in Lake Malawi. Even today people, fish and goods for living are carried by the steamboat. There are first class individual rooms too. From Monkey Bay in the south to Karonga in the north is about 600km, and the one way takes 3 days of travel. People put one week for a round-trip. When the boat arrives to the port, peddlers of banana and fish lively come around the boat. (Y. Kada)
