About Us
Your Journey, Our Expertise
Welcome to Footprints in Africa, where your global travel dreams meet local South African soul.
Two Women, One Vision
Founded by two seasoned globetrotters, Footprints in Africa was born from a shared obsession with discovery. Having navigated dozens of countries across six continents, our founders realized that while the world is vast, the most meaningful travel happens when you have a local’s heart and an explorer’s eye leading the way.
The South Africa Experts
South Africa isn’t just our specialty—it’s our home and our passion. Our founders are renowned experts in the "Rainbow Nation," having successfully hosted dozens of immersive group guided tours through every major South African hub, from the cosmopolitan pulse of Johannesburg to the coastal magic of Cape Town and Durban.
We don't just show you the landmarks; we introduce you to the hidden gems, the local flavors, and the authentic stories that most tourists miss.
Beyond the Safari: Our Services
While our roots are firmly planted in South African soil, our reach is truly global. We’ve parlayed our extensive international travel experience into a full-suite travel agency designed to simplify your life:
Global Itineraries: Whether you’re dreaming of a Tuscan escape or a trek through Patagonia, we build custom, day-by-day itineraries for any destination on the map.
Expat Relocation Services: Falling in love with South Africa is easy—moving here shouldn't be hard. We provide expert guidance and logistical support for those looking to call South Africa home, with one of the founders making that transition herself!

Client Reviews
“My fiance and I have taken 3 trips planned out by Footprints in Africa. Each trip had an entirely different vibe, but each trip was curated perfectly to the desired atmosphere of the trip. Regardless of if we were looking for adventures in Cape Town, a beautiful night out in Johannesburg, or a tour through a safari, the itinerary was planned perfectly. They took the hassle that we’d have to deal with ourselves and turned it into a seamless experience. Providing us with hotel recommendations, trustworthy personal drivers, or food recommendations, they truly took the difficult part out of traveling, allowing us to have the best experiences possible! ”

“The first trip I took with Footprints in Africa was so immersive, well rounded, and memorable that I decided to book another trip through them to Tanzania and this trip may have been more memorable than our first trip to South Africa. I truly enjoyed every experience and excursion we had with Footprints in Africa. The restaurant recommendations, the activities, and the attention to detail is something to rave about. I can’t wait to book my next trip with Footprints in Africa for next year!”
