Connection to South Africa

Founded by Capetonians Helen and Winston Lee, who immigrated to Vancouver in 1993, Out of Africa Trading was born out of a desire to bring the flavors of their homeland to fellow South Africans abroad. Recognizing a demand for familiar products, they established the store to serve as a culinary bridge between South Africa and North America. Their commitment to authenticity and quality has made Out of Africa Trading a cherished destination for those seeking a taste of South African culture.
