It's Nice To Meet You

I have 30 years travel industry experience, and I would love to share my vast knowledge and expertise with you.

What's exhilarating? ….Experiencing a new culture, exploring a new country.

We crave new experiences and what more than travel, let us tap into that craving? The thrill starts the minute you land in a new place.

Conquering that territory could be, trying spicy Thai street food or conversing in Rome testing out your sparse Italian, or perhaps a physical experience, like hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, or conquering the Great Barrier Reef in your scuba gear. You'll have lots of fun. You'll feel a sense of accomplishment and you'll revel in the rush you'll get from your exploits.

You will return home with the best souvenir - A memory of your incredible adventure.

I am married with two gorgeous sons, and together we have travelled extensively throughout the world, I fell in love with travel, I fell in love with meeting new people and experiencing their cultures.

The best part of travel is to experience something unfamiliar and leave with new knowledge, insights and experiences. Being away from home also gives you the opportunity to reflect on your life. You will have to let your mind wander and reconnect with yourself and those closest to you. Try to tick the general boxes of travel but then go off the beaten track , those I find are usually the best adventures and memories

As a business owner I pride myself on providing you with professional tailor-made personal service committed to exceed your expectations when planning your next holiday adventure or business trip.

Being part of a well-established and highly respected global company will ensure you peace of mind that not only will your travel arrangements be in professional and safe hands. Travel Counsellors has a myTC travel app available for you to download an this will make your next trip a breeze.

Travelling is so much more than travelling the touristy highlights. Perhaps you should try going off the beaten track!

As part of the Travel Counsellors group, we have enormous buying power and I have access to over 700,000 hotels around the world, holiday packages, airfare deals and tours to all your dream destinations!

We have leading products such as a Bridal Gift registry, if you’re not sure what gift to give the happy couple then what better gift than a gift voucher that can be used towards travel.

With access to the latest technology combined with my love of travel, you can be confident that in choosing me to take care of your trip you can save time, money and stress.

I look forward to hearing from you, lets create your next wonderful travel experience together.

What my customers say

Dear Andrea, I want to thank you for our wonderful trip and your efficiency with organising it. Everything was just so perfect! We added a Boma dinner when we got to the hotel and on my birthday Tiaan went all out and added a helicopter trip for me. Spoilt beyond words... Thank you also for recommending the dinner cruise. We found the hotel, staff and food of the highest quality. The service was great and I am amazed how consistently helpful and friendly the staff of the hotel and of Wild Horizons were. Such a beautiful country with beautiful people. I don't have enough words to thank you for this experience. We will definitely recommend your services to others and I hope we can book something soon again. Have a wonderful week. Yula

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrea from Travel Counsellors who provided exceptional service with a truly personalised touch. From the moment I contacted her, I knew that I was in good hands. Andrea took the time to really understand my travel needs and preferences. She asked thoughtful questions to ensure that the itinerary she put together would meet all my needs and expectations. What impressed me most was how she tailored the itinerary to my interests and budget, going above and beyond to create a truly personalized experience. Throughout the planning process, Andrea was responsive and communicative, always keeping me in the loop and offering helpful suggestions and insights. Her attention to detail was second to none, ensuring that every aspect of my trip was carefully considered and planned out. During my travels, I felt well taken care of thanks to her thorough planning and coordination. Everything went smoothly, and I had the peace of mind of knowing that any issues or concerns would be promptly addressed. Overall, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her exceptional service and personalized approach truly made my travel experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a travel agent who goes above and beyond to create a truly personalized and stress-free travel experience, look no further than this outstanding professional.
