Our Give Back

A baby vervet monkey clings to its mother as they share a mango, a glimpse into the lively wildlife of Malawi.

At Footprint Safaris, we believe in giving back to Malawi in meaningful ways - to causes that make a real difference and are close to our hearts. Our initiatives are focused on two key areas: philanthropy and conservation.

Healthy Footprints
This philanthropic program focuses on rural healthcare, supporting local villages in and around our base in Lilongwe. By providing vital medical care, education, and resources, Healthy Footprints strengthens communities and ensures that essential health services reach those who need them most.

Future Footprints
Our conservation-based initiative is a reforestation program designed to restore Malawi’s native forests. By planting endemic trees in their natural habitats, Future Footprints helps rebuild ecosystems while providing communities with “working” trees—fruit for nourishment and wood for daily life. This program safeguards Malawi’s landscapes for future generations while supporting local livelihoods.

From every Footprint Safaris booking, a contribution is dedicated to each program, ensuring that every journey directly supports Malawi’s people and its environment.
