Meet the Heart Behind Explore Africa Tours
Travel South Africa with someone who knows the stories, the scenery, and the hidden gems that turn a trip into something unforgettable.
Born and raised in Cape Town, Liezle created Explore Africa Tours from a deep love for South Africa’s landscapes, cultures, and people. What began as a passion for showing visitors the magic of the Cape has grown into a business built around authentic experiences, personal connection, and unforgettable journeys.
A Local Guide With a Love for Real South Africa
Growing up in Cape Town, I came to understand just how powerful travel can be. The scenery, the wildlife, the stories, the culture, all of it has a way of staying with you long after the journey ends.
My passion for tourism grew from wanting to share that feeling with others. A special turning point came when I showed a visiting family friend some of Cape Town’s hidden gems. Her gratitude stayed with me, and that moment made me realise I wanted to help more people discover South Africa in a meaningful way.
Today, Explore Africa Tours is my way of sharing the places, people, and experiences that make this country so extraordinary.

From strangers to friends
The goal is never just to show you places. It is to help you connect with the people, stories, and spirit behind them.
The Places and Experiences I Love Sharing Most
Some of my favourite experiences to share with guests include the Cape’s dramatic coastline, the beauty of Chapman’s Peak Drive, thrilling safari moments, and the vibrant stories found in South Africa’s cultural spaces and communities.
I especially love helping travellers connect with the real character of this country, from local food and traditional crafts to the landscapes and conversations that make each journey feel personal.
And if you ask me for one local dish to try, I’ll always recommend bobotie, a Cape classic full of warmth, spice, and local flavour.

More Than a Tour. A South African Experience
My goal is simple: to create unforgettable experiences that show you the real South Africa.
I want every guest to leave with more than photographs. I want you to leave with memories, stories, laughter, and a genuine connection to this country. The kind that stays with you long after the trip is over.
South Africa is special to me because it is a true melting pot of cultures, breath taking landscapes, and people with hearts of gold. That energy, that warmth, that unforgettable spirit, that is what I hope every traveller takes home with them.
“I want every guest to remember the people, the stories, the laughter, and that they fell in love with South Africa’s beauty.”
