Suzaan Steenkamp

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.

Marzanne van Wyk

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!!!
