The World War Memorial is set in the same compound as a statue of Hastings Kamuzu Banda. There are some staff who can give one a tour, which is largely just a climb up the inside of the tower. There is no fee, but a tip is expected. There is not lift, one must go up a flight of stairs, before virtually scaling up vertically, on some metal bars to the top. At the top, one can get a good view of Lilongwe; Capital Hill, Parliament, even Bingu Stadium, and the wilderness and greenery that defines Lilongwe.
