Footsteps in Africa

Footsteps in Africa heralds a new era for its founder Anthony Cavill-Taylor. Anthony has joined forces with three partners to offer the tourism trade a broad spectrum of services, aimed strictly at the tourism trade and not the consumer.

Footsteps in Africa offers: •Sales and marketing of tourism products,

•Centralised lodge reservations - one stop shop approach,

•Wholesale tour operating (destination management) with very competitive packages to our lodges and select other products. The products that we represent in sales, marketing and reservations are all small establishments offering personal and specialised service.

Today we are the largest circuit of independent camps, lodges and services in Botswana

Mission Statement

Footsteps in Africa is committed to providing a quality, rewarding, yet affordable safari experience for our guests, while being acutely aware of our and that of our guests impact on the environment. Further we recognise that as a company predominantly trading in Botswana we have a socio-economic responsibility towards the citizens/ residents of Botswana.

Footsteps in Africa, our lodges and every guest produce a carbon footprint. Part of the solution is admitting our carbon impact; the second stage is actually doing something about it, by a process of planned systematic reductions and finally offsetting the carbon output we cannot eliminate. We hope that under the following three main headings you will be able to see how Footsteps in Africa is striving to make a difference to the

environment and also the people of Botswana.
