All about
Voetspore Safaris
Voetspore Safaris is an extension of the popular Voetspore Television Series.
The series has been running on South African television channels over the past two decades, taking arm chair travellers to exotic destinations on the African continent and beyond. Johan Badenhorst and his team have travelled more than 300 000 km on the continent that included journeys from Casablanca to the Cape, on the Equator, from Agulhas to Alexandria and in Africa’s Great Rift Valley. Recently the team also visited Madagascar, India, and did an extensive journey within the borders of South Africa.
Now Voetspore invites you to have a taste of their experience. These are self-drive guided tours to destinations in Southern Africa. We guide you to some of the most memorable destinations within reach of the South African 4×4 enthusiast. We invite novices and experienced overlanders to join in the Voetspore experience.
Voetspore Safaris aims to let the client experience a Voetspore excursion. We camp in the great outdoors. We enjoy exquisite meals under the stars. We tackle obstacles that can only be done with 4×4. We get away from the maddening crowd. You will seldom encounter other tourists during one of our trips. All of this is done with the experience that Voetspore has gained over the years. Your safety is our concern, yet we know how to take you to places that will take your breath away and will make you want to come back for more.
