Barefoot Lodge and Safaris

An Excellent accommodation and food menu. The atmosphere is truly a "nature lodge" with beautiful trees and birds. A gathering place for locals and tourists. Highly recommended for tourists to stay over.

Stayed here for two nights in the chalets and had the most amazing time. The lodges were so lovely and clean. The staff and owners are also very friendly and had some great conservations with them at the wonderful bar - we especially recommend the springbokkey’s (a South African shot). We went on the 4x4 drive to the local rock to watch the sunset with the owner Rudolph. This was an amazing experience and the sunset and drive were amazing. Getting into Lilongwe was also very easy due to the local taxi service who can be reached via reception. |I/ we highly recommend staying here to all, if looking for a lovely place to stay in Lilongwe that’s not quite in the centre.

We stayed at Barefoot lodge on our first night in Lilongwe. We got picked up at the airport by Rudolph, and from the start he was a kind and gracious host who was clearly knowledgeable about the area. The chalets were clean and the beds were comfortable. The best thing about our stay was the friendly staff and owner. We went on a sunset tour up a local rock, which was an incredible experience. The restaurant/bar area is very nice with a tv and darts board for evening entertainment. Overall, a lovely location with great staff and accommodation.

I had a very pleasant stay at Barefoot.Chalet was lovely with fan, mosquito net and ability to make a hot drink. A good breakfast was served. WiFi is available in the public area the bar. I hope to return againI had experienced car trouble and the owner assisted me in finding a mechanic at the university and I was accompanied by Akim to the mechanic.

This is so much more than a lodge. The lodge and chalets themselves are in a green haven of birds, beautifully appointed and welcoming. I was lucky enough to be invited to the early morning bird watching which was a fabulous introduction to our safari trip. |Rudolph was my guide and driver. I could not have felt more safe in his hands. We drove in the land rover through amazing countryside and rural villages. Our first stop Liwonde National park where we had breakfast with elephants. Rudolph provided a private guided tour through the park and not only knew a phenomenal amount but kept us both laughing all they way round. The kale safari was unbelievable and well worth doing. Day three and we headed to the heart of the fishing village where we are the delicious local fish and we’re entertained by a group of young lads playing home made instruments on the beach. ||Then I was whisked off to a tropical island in the lake where I was treated to a night with the island to myself, with just a chef to look after me! |This was a life changing trip which I truly thought was unattainable for me but Barefoot Lodge and Safari made it a most amazing reality.

We stayed here for two nights and will be happy to come back! It's not easy to maintain such a big camping and the Chalets when tourism is down like now during Corona. They manage very well. Everything is in good condition. The Bar and Restaurant are nice (currently even with WiFi from 6pm to 6 am) and the staff is very friendly. For camping you get wonderful grassy spots with lots of shade thanks to many trees. Electricity at the camping spots available. Big rig friendly. The ablutions were clean as well. There is also a garden where they started to grow their own vegetables. Oh, and Rudolph used to be a tour guide around Africa, so he has some really useful tips on top and was happy to help us with some special requests.

Camping-Beautiful garden oasis with brand new shower block and good reasonably priced restaurant on the outskirts of Lilongwe. Friendly staff. Individual BBQ stand and electricity-UK compatible. Nice looking lodges for hire but didn’t see inside.

Great place for camping. One free night for long distance cyclists. Spend the money on The Bigfoot Burger in stead. It's all a hungry cyclist could ask for. Neat, clean and quite with fast wifi.
