Black Pot Safaris specialize in providing fully-supported, privately guided and personally tailored self-drive safaris for those intrepid individuals who choose to visit Africa in search of beauty, adventure and unbeatable wildlife. We cater specifically for people who want:
- to drive their own 4x4 vehicle and discover Africa for themselves
- to create their own route and personalized itinerary
- to relax in comfortable, stylish campsites
- to enjoy delicious food, food served straight from the fire by an accomplished bush chef
- to be accompanied, supported and catered for throughout the safari by their own personal safari leaders (who will drive a separate vehicle)
- to pay one price with no hidden extras which includes vehicle hire, equipment, camping fees, park entrance, fuel and food.
We recommend that you spend as much time as possible under canvas, but we can arrange lodge accommodation along the way if you wish. Your safari should be anything from 10 days to a month in duration. The choice is yours.
Our trips start from Johannesburg, South Africa and from there head off into the wildest parts of southern Africa where a Land Rover is essential and often destinations can only be reached by gravel roads and 4x4 tracks.
However, if there is somewhere that you want to visit that we haven't mentioned, we will happily include that on your itinerary. We also recommend that you visit at least two countries on your safari to experience different eco-systems and to travel amongst people of different countries and cultures.
Malawi is known as the 'warm heart of Africa' and this is a fitting tribute to her friendly people and abundant sunshine. This is a beautiful country and popular destination offering an unrivaled combination of Lake, Landscape and Wildlife.
Some of the country’s highlights are Lake Malawi, Nkhota-Kota Wildlife Reserve, Nyika Plateau National Parks, Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Kasungu National Park.
