BAREFOOT SAFARIS & Adventure Tours

Discover the Africa of your dreams on a Barefoot Safaris Adventure

Tanzania:

A chance to travel up Lake Tanganyika onboard the Ferry MV Liemba, visit the chimpanzees at Gombe and to travel across the heart of Tanzania by train.

The first Europeans to explore this unique “undiscovered“  interior of Africa were the Portuguese; Candido da Costa sighted Lake Malawi in 1846. The famous David Livingstone travelled most extensively in this area in search of the source of the Nile. We start our adventure in Zambia, “the real Africa“, which beckons to the intrepid, the adventurous, to those who want to step off the conveyor belt of mass tourism. We follow in the footsteps of Burton and Speke as we embark on a journey through a land of spectacular scenery, unparalleled hospitality and unique wildlife, visiting two of the great lakes of Central Africa. We cross into Tanzania with its notable characteristic of warmth and openness and we are greeted with “Karibu“. This is a country of great natural wealth where vast plains are home to millions of hoofed animals and the predators that stalk them, where the cool highlands are punctuated by the deep crevices of the Great Rift Valley, and where inland lakes glimmer with the reflected shadows of countless water birds.  We end this adventure in Malawi, where we find Livingstone‘s “Lake of Stars“, a country with stunning scenery, diverse habitat, and maybe the friendliest people to meet on this continent.
