Within Malawi, adventure pursuits such as horse riding, trekking, mountain climbing, kayaking on Lake Malawi and sailing, walking and mobile safaris are all available. We can even arrange self-drive safaris or 4x4 hire options.

We also offer a number of full or half day trips in Malawi from our base in Lilongwe.

We are proud of our links with the local community and dedicated to supporting worthy projects, such as the upgrading of rural schools and building houses in local villages

We provide a fast and efficient response to individual needs and children are very welcome on many of our tours.

With the ‘Golden Age’ of discovery long since past, most of the world's surface mapped in detail and motorised transport, satellite phones and GPS receivers readily available, one would think it was time for explorers to hang up their pith helmets. But rather than consigning exploration to the dustbin of history, we at Barefoot Safaris have redefined it with adventure travel. So join us in re-exploring the unmapped regions of Africa.

Our mission is to share our knowledge and love of this wonderful continent. Our Safaris take you to the real Africa, giving you the opportunity to feel, touch and smell Africa.

Barefoot Safaris is registered in both Zambia and in Malawi, with Offices in South Africa and Perth. However we are based in Malawi’s capital city, Lilongwe.

Barefoot Safaris specialises in small group adventure and photographic tours. We also offer safaris with an emphasis on walking or trekking and for the more experienced traveller we offer individually designed itineraries.
