Abigail Janse van Rensburg2025-06-11 Mariska, jou passie en toewyding aan jou werk is sigbaar in elke detail. Alles was perfek beplan – van ons sitplekke op die vlug tot die mooiste kamer. Jy het regtig geluister na wat ons graag wou doen en hoekom hierdie vakansie vir ons belangrik is, en toe alles met soveel sorg daarvolgens saamgestel. Ek het lanklaas (of dalk nog nooit!) so ontspanne gevoel nie – ek wens ek het vroeër van jou diens geweet. Jy is elke reisende paartjie se droom! Dankie vir elke boodskap, vir jou aandag aan detail, en vir hoe jy alles dubbel en dwars nagegaan het. Ons het beslis ons forever reisagent gevind. Ek beveel jou met die grootste vrymoedigheid aan vir enige iemand. Jou liefde vir mense en wat jy doen straal uit in alles wat jy aanpak. Ons is opreg dankbaar vir alles wat jy vir ons moontlik gemaak het. Ilana Gericke2025-06-07 5-Star Review for Travel in My Footsteps – Mauritius Our trip to Mauritius, booked through Travel in My Footsteps, was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were looking for a relaxing holiday without a packed schedule or excursions, and that’s exactly what we got. Even though we stayed at the resort the entire time, everything was taken care of beautifully: flights, transfers, and accommodation all lined up seamlessly. The resort itself was stunning and had everything we needed to completely unwind. We also really appreciated that the whole trip stayed well within our budget, without sacrificing comfort or quality. Communication with Travel in My Footsteps was smooth and professional, and we felt understood right from the start. A stress-free, enjoyable holiday thanks to a travel agency that truly knows what it’s doing. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be booking with them again! Nikita Van Breda2025-05-22 Beste tyd van ons lewe. Alles te danke aan travel in my footsteps wat alles so mooi vir ons beplan het. Baie dankie. Tot ons volgende uitstappie. Caley Jäck2025-04-02 Mariska came in highly recommended by a friend of mine who had recently been on a beautiful island holiday herself. I was looking for someone who would be able to help me craft the perfect 10 Year Wedding Anniversary Getaway that included our two little girls (4 and 1yrs old). This is not a small task if you know what’s involved planning trips with very small humans! Mariska handled all planning and logistics from beginning to end , EFFORTLESSLY. She was completely approachable to any changes/amendments I wanted to make. It was a great collaborative effort - she understood our needs and the criteria and made the whole process fun, NOT STRESSFUL!! Thank you Mariska for making this dream holiday of ours come to life, with all the intricate details being covered. You really went over and beyond 🫶🏼 even gifting us a stunning going away treasure box. Just WOW. Let’s start planning the next adventure 🤩 Ilse Esterhuizen2025-01-13 Thank you Travel in my footsteps for the the great experience.

Was een groot belewenis gewees.
Thanks to Mariska Botha of “Travel in my footsteps” we enjoyed an absolutely fabulous second honeymoon in the Maldives. As it was our first trip aboard, we were quite anxious for any possible pitfalls, but Mariska made it so easy. Her kind and competent assistance from the time we booked our trip, advice with where to go and what to experience in the Maldives, until we arrived back in South Africa were so incredible helpful. Without her we would not be able to have enjoyed such an unforgettable experience. No future trip or holiday by us will be done without Mariska!!!

What a lovely experience working with Mariska! She was so helpful with my honeymoon trip and with all the stress and uncertainty of flying internationally for the first time, she kept me calm and excited! Mariska gave me some very good advise and tips, and communicated through the whole experience. Even a week after we came back home she wanted to know how the trip was. Satisfied 10/10.
