Founded by the husband and wife team of Brett and Dominique Roux, Our African Footprints was born from a life long passion for Africas wilderness eden's. Having travelled through Africa from a young age, conservation, tracking and photography have always been a great love of Bretts. After 25 years of fine tuning his bush and photographic skills Brett’s dream is to share his deep connection with nature with the rest of the world. Him and Dominique instantly connected over Africa and its wild places when the met in 2014 and subsequently got engaged and married in the magical Phinda Sand Forest. They are a modern day bush couple that added to their family in 2017 with the birth of their son Roan, who is often taken along on their many bush adventures.
