About Us
At Land and Sea Shipping, we don't just move cargo.
We design, implement, and manage entire freight strategies, built around your business goals and powered by our control over Africa's most vital trade corridors.
We are a privately owned, freight management company based in South Africa, operating across all major entry and exit points in the region. Our strength lies in connecting Southern Africa to global markets, and global markets back to Southern Africa, through seamless solutions across sea, air, road, rail, and warehousing.
We offer total visibility, full control, and unmatched flexibility, so you can focus on growing your business while we manage the complexity of your logistics.
