Memorable Baviaans MTB Tour experience thanks to excellent hosts
The Baviaans Mountain Bike Tour by Fleet Foot Safaris was our highlight of the year so far.
The scenery and surroundings of the area were breathtaking and our hosts Elmor, Elaine, Hennie and Charles were exceptional hosts providing transportation, fully supported back up, water points, laughs and world class meals. The accomoddation was comfortable, clean and well considered throughout the trip.. All we had to do was ride our bikes and the rest was taken car of. Our 160km journey by bike took us through one of the countries most beautiful areas and our hosts provided fascinating insight into how it all formed millions of years ago. Elmor added valuable information as we went and gave us a different perspective of the area and was much appreciated. If you like riding your bike and exploring nature at its purest, this is the optimal way to do it. Thanks again and we will definitely be joining the next tour.

Beautiful 2 weeks drive around Namibia with Hennie and Elmor in December 2020
What a trip! What a country! What a service!
After 12 months of agonizing wait for an opportunity to go places, we decided to take a risk and to go for our Namibia trip which was originally planned for August, 2020. FFS were able to rearrange our trip according to the current limitations on a very short notice (we could not enter RSA due to COVID).
And here we go again - our group of 5 is met by Hennie and Elmor at Windhoek airport and in no time we are on the road.
This trip had everything. Think about being washed down by pouring rain in the middle of Kalahari while listening to that particular sound of San people, walking through hundreds of newborn seals, encountering lions and black rhinos in Etosha. Add to that Hennie singing in the back of the car some old Boer songs when everyone gets bored by driving along endless Skeleton coast. Throw in the most beautiful sand dune landscape (Sossusvlei) I have ever seen - and I have been to Sahara, coastal desert of Peru and Atacama of Chile to name a few. Pour in Elmor's excellent geological insights of how these otherworldly landscapes have been forming during last 500 millions years or so. And icing on the cake - New Year dinner of Kudu and Eland steaks cooked by no other than Hennie himself and served under African stars - and this is when the rest of the world is stuck behind closed doors & curfews following "strictly no fun" rules of this brave new world.
We have time now to reflect on all these things - and to start planning the next one. Maybe, that northeastern corner of RSA? Hennie said there might be some wildlife there...

Great time!
My sister and I wanted to visit South Africa for a safari. From the beginning, Fleet Foot Safari was the most communicative of the Safari companies I emailed. They answered my questions very quickly and were very professional. They followed up with additional confirmations as well as a final itinerary and when I arrived, a day before we were to start, they sent a welcome email as well!
Our guide was Elmor and he was great! He took care of everything. We stopped for lunch on the way to the first Safari location, had breaks and coffee, etc., too. He introduced us to biltong (South African beef jerky type) and answered our many questions.
The accommodations chosen were really nice as one was a a small private camp and another was in Kruger frequented by South Africans. In the later, it had a kitchenette, which Elmor prepared our meals.
I can not imagine having a better experience than the one we had. It was fantastic and we saw a lot of animals. I can't wait to go again! Fleet Foot Safari provides a worthwhile and memory filled experience.

Adventurous and fun
It was an amazing family trip. We lived wonderful experiences. From elephants in the night near our tent, the roars of lions and the hearing the hippos going out to eat at night. We will never forget the breathtaking sunset. We loved the boat safari on the delta and the many game drives. Hennie and Elmare were the best guides ever!

We would highly recommend Fleet Foot Safari to plan your African adventure!
We can’t say enough good things about Fleet Foot Safaris! Both Hennie and Elmor provided us with the top of the line service from the start of our travel planning to the end of our two-week African trip. They provided us with very detailed itinerary and travel information which was extremely helpful.
We traveled to South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwa, Namibia and Botswana. When arriving in Cape Town, Elmor picked us up and drove us to our well-located B&B. The next two days he was our Cape Town guide. Elmor is very familiar with the Cape Peninsula and the sites of Cape Town. We enjoyed our time spent with Elmor as he is very knowledgeable and fun to be with.
During our trip we visited Victoria Falls, went on safaris in Botswana and South Africa and self-drove through the Panoramic Route.
Fleet Foot Safari arranged all our flights, accommodations and rental car while we were in Africa. Everything went smoothly and as planned. We knew that we could call on either Elmor or Hennie if we ran into any trouble.
We would highly recommend Fleet Foot Safari if you are planning a trip to Africa!
Fantastic trip to Victoria Falls and Botswana with Fleet Foot Safaris
We travelled with Fleet Foot Safaris from Victoria Falls to Botswana and it was a fantastic experience. Nature and wildlife were amazing! Our trip was very well organized with a great mixture of nice lodges and bush camping, exciting game drives and relaxed evenings around the fire with a glass of an excellent wine from South Africa. The food deserves special praise. You get your three course top quality dinner beautifully served in the middle of the bushes with all the nature and wildlife around you. Unbelievable! But the best thing I liked about Fleet Foot Safaris was that Hennie and his team brought some special atmosphere and personal attitude which made the whole trip unforgettable.

Fleet Foot made the trip one of the best trips I have ever done. (team and the natural beauty)
The Fleet Foot team organized a fantastic trip through Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The countries were amazing in their wildlife and the possibilities to get close to them while being in remote areas. The evenings in the lodges were good but especially the bush camping added an extra element to the experience. Sitting around the campfire enjoying great food and wine and that in the middle of the nature and no fences. What a special feeling that was. The team definitely added to the whole trip experience with their professionalism. They became way more than just Tourguides. Will be planning a next trip with them soon.

A truly amazing experience!!
We went with Fleet Foot Safaris on our 2 week Africa vacation with destinations including Victoria Falls, Chobe, Capetown, and Kruger. Hennie, Elmor, Jaco, and Lionel are the best!! They are the best hosts, travel agents, guides, and chefs, all rolled into one. The team worked with us to plan a multi-segment trip for our group of 12. They arranged for our stay in places which were really nice, our activities were well planned , and they were very open to making changes as needed. They anticipated and took care of all our needs, for instance, Elmor stocked our apartments with fruit and water by the time we checked in. And Hennie cooked and arranged some of the fanciest breakfasts and dinners. Their knowledge of wildlife, history, politics and current events in South Africa is impressive. Strongly recommend using their services for your vacation planning.

Great time in the Victoria Falls area
We spent 5 days and 4 nights in Victoria Falls area with Hennie Becker. He was great in every way. We spent 2 nights in Zambia and 2 in Botswana and in particular saw a lot of animals in Botswana. There were no slip-ups, as Hennie had everything planned in advance and planned well. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip with Hennie.
