Limpopo - All
Africa and The Middle East
Welcome to my webpage!
I love travel, and have made this my career for the past 36 years! There are so many amazing places to visit, and not only overseas, but in our own beautiful country as well as our neighboring countries!
So, if you're looking for a beach holiday, a safari, a honeymoon, any type of cruise, or a business trip I will be happy to assist you.
I've gained plenty of knowledge and experience working in the travel industry over the past 37 years, in both leisure and corporate travel. I've organised and accompanied some large school sports groups, and arranged some high school tours. I can assist with special interest tours, such as golfing, photography, or church groups.
I pride myself on giving exceptional service to my clients, and like to develop a relationship with my clients based on trust and integrity.
As a Travel Counsellor, my time is flexible, so I'm available when you need me.
We have our own online system, where I have access to hotels, car rental and attractions all over the world.
The most important thing that we offer at Travel Counsellors is our exclusive Travel Trust, which protects your money should any company or airline I use go out of business.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to travel extensively, and have seen many wonderful places. Some of my favorite cities are Prague, Florence, Vienna and Rio De Janeiro. Scenery wise, I loved the Canadian Rockies, New Zealand, and Norway. For interesting and exotic places, I have to say India really took my breath away.
When I am not working, I love to paint......and visit our wonderful Kruger National Park!
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Whatever your holiday needs I'm here to help you, so simply give me a call or send me an email with your contact details on and I can get things started for you:-
I absolutely love travel! Take a look through my posts - you might find holiday inspiration where you least expect it...

I have utilized the travel services of Allyson Ropertz for a few of the trips that my wife and I have had the privilege of taking over the last couple of years. At no stage have I ever wondered where I stand with my bookings, nor have I ever have had to ask as the information has always been forthcoming and accurate. I can positively state that Allyson is extremely knowledgeable about the travel industry and is most certainly an asset to anyone who chooses to use her services (I recommend this). This is from one extremely happy customer ... Thanks Allyson!

Dear Allyson Thank you for the wonderful service we received from you when planning our recent overseas trip. You were always available when we needed help and advice and you handled all our bookings efficiently and professionally. You also saved the day when we nearly had to cancel our trip due to our documents being stolen!! I am delighted to recommend your service to anyone else planning either holiday or business travel. kind regards Karen

In this day and age service delivery is almost non-existent, and it is rare to receive basic service. Allyson always steps up to the plate and delivers exceptional service. She does not make empty promises and you can always be assured of attention to detail and getting it right the first time every time. It is a pleasure to deal with her. Thank you Allyson.

We have used Allyson for two family holidays in the last two years. She is professional and extremely patient, and she has always answered our queries in a timely manner, allowing us to book the holidays we dream of. She is willing to go the extra mile to find the best travel options and her feedback clearly demonstrates her understanding of our travel requirements. Allyson is a pleasure to work with and we will continue booking our travel with her. Keep it up Allyson!!

Allyson, thank you for organizing the most amazing family holiday ever. We had such a good time, everything went according to plan, and never once did we feel lost, or unsure of ourselves. You searched tirelessly for solutions to fit our budget and tight time frames. The Carnival cruise liner was exceptional value for money and I cannot wait to book again. Thank you and well done!

Allyson was a great help in identifying hotels and flights that met my requirements, including airport transfers. I had special requirements due to my elderly parents travelling with me and she ensured that all my requirements were met. We had an amazing holiday and everything worked out with no hassles from the time we flew out to the time we got back. The hotel was also stunning.

Allyson made the booking of an international flight stress free giving me several alternatives to choose from. I appreciated that there was no pressure to make a hasty decision but to rather make my decision at my own pace. I would not hesitate in using her services in the future or recommending her to family friends or colleagues. Thank you

We had a complicated itinerary to South America recently which was professionally and efficiently handled by Allyson. She was available when an unexpected snag developed and we felt looked after, a level of service which exceeded expectations. We were booked into excellent hotels, transfers and excursions were efficiently organised and it was excellent value for money. We would highly recommend her services.

On behalf of Dr. Andrew S Ramdass: Allyson is by far the most reliable travel agent I have had the opportunity to deal with. She did everything I required and so much more. She saved us a lot of money and the dread of cancelling the trip to a very important yearly congress (WCIM). I am thankful to her for going out of her way to ensure that my trip is successful and runs smoothly. Yours Truly

The nature of my job requires a lot of travel in Africa as well as Europe and US. Regularly the travel plans need to change and Allyson just came through. The most remarkable effort was when the volcanic dust storm closed most airports in Western Europe and I was stuck in Paris Airport with my flight already cancelled, I phoned her 10 minutes later she phoned me back and I got out on Qatar Airways.
