Hi, I'm Robyn Pretorius, a Travel Counsellor based in Table View. I have clients all over South Africa, as well as in the States, UK, Europe, Australia and Asia. I'm married to my best friend and we have a 7-year-old daughter who keeps us on our toes with her whit and escapades.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor and running my own travel franchise, I worked for another travel consortium for 16 years. My first taste of travel was on a Contiki tour when I finished school and I got my first taste of the UK and Europe. I visited the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy and Lichtenstein. My eyes were opened! I returned home to study, and as soon as I was done, I got a job in Dubai and lived there for 3 years, experiencing as much of the Middle East as I could, including UAE, Iran and Saudi. On returning to South Africa, I carried on my travel journey by becoming a travel agent. This opened the door to many more opportunities to travel, so I've since also experienced Mauritius, Seychelles and Thailand.One of my favourite destinations has to be Switzerland – with her wide open spaces, the mountains and lakes, the green and then the white of the snowcapped mountains... or maybe Seychelles with its protected beauty and stunning beaches... or maybe Thailand with its bustling city and beautiful temples... then again, maybe Dubai with its cosmopolitan city, but stark deserts. I can't decide!Being a Travel Counsellor has opened so many doors. I can look after my clients no matter where they are in the world. We're all on a journey of discovery, I can assist you with yours while I'm still learning the map to mine :)I can't wait to assist you with your holidays, getaways and dreams!

Fellow travellers, welcome to my website! Travel is, was and will forever be a motivating force of my life!After completing my law degree, I was in an existential predicament because I realised that my heart was not devoted to the scales of Madame Justitia. My wise father encouraged me to take a travelling sabbatical. I travelled through Africa with my brother, who was doing sub continental tours at that stage. With the sun rising over the Great Rift Valley, I realised that my heart irrevocably belongs to this mystical continent of ours. In that moment I understood the gentleness of the mothers of Africa, the laziness of time, the force of the Great Zambezi, the joy of a, “Jumbo” in friendly greeting, the humour of the locals over a Tusker, (the local beer of Tanzania), the devastation caused by famine and poverty, the beauty of a sunset and the shy smile of an umfaan.The United Kingdom was next on my list. For three years I worked on and off in Stratford upon Avon and used the rest of the time to explore the history and diversity of the cultural life in Europe. Back in South Africa I married my best friend, one magical night under the bright stars of a Free State sky. Fortunately for me, he also loves the great beyond and shares my passion for travel. We have two children and we use every opportunity that we can to take them with us, whether it is to Clocolan, Cape Town or Lesotho!I get my biggest kick out of sharing in the huge smiles of satisfied customers. The awards that I have accumulated through the years, have made me proud, but the best reward that I can receive is a client coming back from an awesome journey and having no words to describe the joys experienced.I am now a proud Travel Counsellor. I am home-based, so I can manage my time between my family and my clients. I am available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to assist where ever I can. My passion and love for travel is what encourages and drives me to give the best personalised service to my clients. The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence, but in the mastery of his passions. –Alfred Lord Tennyson-For all your travel requirementsregardsNina

Hi My name is Helga Wenning and I am a proud Travel Counsellor. Although I am based in Vryheid Kwazulu Natal, I can provide excellent and personalised travel services to all clients in any part of the world. I have moved from Gauteng nine years ago to a small German farming community in Northern Natal. Adjusting to the new environment was easy, as the community welcomed and made me part of the family immediately. I started in the travel industry in 1996 and since that time both the travel and technology has evolved, but one thing that has remained constant: The uniqueness of people and their travel. With each booking and travel experience I grow and learn with my travellers, building a strong base of knowledge as time goes by. I myself have travelled quite a bit and in some instances, I have visited the same destination twice. Each experience is different each time. All destinations hold its own adventures, excitement and experience and whatever your dream may be, it will be my pleasure to help create your experience and to turn it into reality. Hope to hear from you and until then, happy and safe travelling!

Greetings from the Helderberg! My name is Chantal and I'm a born and bred KZN girl. I relocated to the beautiful mountainous region of Somerset West in 2020. Since then, I have been blessed to build a new client base in the area as well as continue assisting my existing clients in making their holiday dreams a reality. I have worked in travel for the past 11 years, starting as a Travel Consultant working at a large retail agency in Hillcrest and most recently as a Sports Travel Consultant at a large wholesaler. I have loved working in leisure travel where I have experienced some of the most unique and beautiful destinations during my career. My favourite experience to date has been trekking with the gorillas in Uganda in 2017. Being in the company of those gentle giants was an unrivalled experience and a memory I will always cherish! I've been fortunate to travel to Mauritius, Turkey, Jordan, Thailand, Maldives, Russia and Japan. Experiencing a destination first-hand is such a vital part of what I do so that I can provide the best recommendations and suggestions for my clients. Prior to working in travel, I lived and worked in New York, Dubai, Shanghai and Hong Kong. I thrived on living in the big city and gained a broader perspective on life in the different parts of the world where I lived. I’m looking forward to working with you on your travel requirements and tailor-making your dream holiday. I hope to hear from you soon!

My name is Bertie Loubser. I'm an Independent Travel Counsellor based in the Northern Suburbs. I am married, and am the proud father of two beautiful boys!During my 31 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to most parts of the world, from New York to Timbuktu. I've experienced many types of holidays; First class air travel, 5 star cruising, backpacking in Greece and Turkey, firsthand experience of Contiki and Trafalgar Tours. Snow-Skiing in Europe and North America, travelled on the Blue Train and I also experienced a working holiday – from farm to construction work in England to packing fish in Scotland. One of the highlights of my travel adventures was taking a break, for a year, to travel overland from Cape Town to London in an old Diesel Landrover visiting 25 countries covering 35,000km.Our award winning reservation system gives me the edge when it comes to sourcing deals best suited to your requirements - from a domestic airticket to a round-the-world-once-in-a-life-time dream holiday. Unlike most “shopping-mall-agents” I’m a Visa Expert, and will be able to assist you with all the aspects of this less pleasant part of your travel arrangements.People often ask why they should make use of my services if everything can be booked on the internet. The answer is simple. The internet is a machine and you're just a number. The internet isn't a judge of character. It won't take your age, culture or personality into consideration, it won't tell you that it's now a rainy season in Thailand or that there's hardly any water coming down Victoria Falls in October. It won't tell you that you need a visa for the UK or Yellow Fever certificate when travelling to the Masai Mara! You cannot call the internet in the middle of the night when you are being told your flight is overbooked! The internet won’t call you back, after you return home, to welcome you home in order to listen as to how your trip was.Thanks to Travel Counsellors global buying power, I can more than often match, and even better internet offers. I’m available 24/7 and can meet you at a place convenient to you. I'm in the business of offering exceptional personal service and finding the best options for you at the best possible prices. I am looking forward to assist with your travel plans and cannot wait to hear from you.Bertie

Leisure Travel!Words that make my heart beat faster-all of those wonderful places waiting to be discovered by you, the leisure traveller! My love for travel started right after school, when I joined SAA, and worked there for 5 years. My first big adventure was taking a Contiki Tour through Europe with a friend of mine. This trip whet my appetite, and I soon realised that travel had to stay an integral part of my life. I have worked for over 22 years in the travel industry, and I've travelled to many different parts of the world including the UK, various European countries, Argentina, the Far East, Turkey and The Comores. I know that choosing the right destination that suits your personality as well as your budget is of utmost importance, and I will endeavour to do just that, for you! I have over 1700 colleagues, dotted throughout the world, who can assist me in giving you local knowledge wherever you travel to, as well as being a helping hand if you need it. However, booking through me, means that you have my assistance 24/7. With my commitment to you, and our superb back-up support from our head offices - both locally and internationally, there'll always be someone at hand to help should you need it.Whether you're looking for self-drive holidays, island living or adventure seeking holidays, no holiday is too big or too small for me to help you with.

No need to buy travel books either, because with Phenix, a remarkable dynamic packaging system exclusive to Travel Counsellors, I can provide all the information that you might need. I offer a very personal service, and I can meet with you whenever it suits you - whether at home, in a coffee shop, or at work.

Welcome to my web page.I'm Debby, a Travel Counsellor working from my home in a suburb of Midrand. Working from home means that I have the freedom to service clients wherever you may be in the world.Travel was my passion even before I climbed on an airplane for the first time, a shy 21-year old, with backpack and baggage in tow. Traveling from Luxembourg to Greece, to Holland and then Israel, by train, plane and ferry was an amazing experience, and a life-lesson that I will never forget.Much of my earlier travel was solo travel. I experienced 1 January 2000 in Ireland, flew to Paris for a weekend to celebrate my 40th, back to Paris a couple of years later to attend a creative workshop and in December 2018 travelled to and through parts of the Czech Republic visiting family with my husband. I was fortunate enough to travel to France twice in 2022, and to visit Milan for the first time. It might just slowly be trumping Paris as my favourite European city. Later this year I'll be on a river cruise through Germany and the Netherlands and spending Christmas in Amsterdam - something that I last did (and loved) in 1992! I love that my travel experiences may inspire you and help make your travels a little bit more special with insider tips.Being a Travel Counsellor means that I am available to you outside of working hours and this allows me the flexibility of meeting with you in person, by phone, skype or email, at a time convenient to you. It also means that I have access to over 1,900+ Travel Counsellors around the world who have years of experience and knowledge that they share freely, ensuring that your travel experience is the best that it can be.It would be my pleasure to assist you with your enquiry, no matter how big or small, be it for local or overseas travel, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi and a warm welcome.My name is Kerith, and I specialise in designing beautifully curated travel experiences for clients who want something more than an ordinary holiday.Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, I work with travellers around the world to create tailor-made journeys where every detail has been thoughtfully considered – from the hotels you stay in, to the hidden restaurants you discover, to the moments you’ll remember long after you return home.Before launching my own travel business in 2019, I spent nearly two decades working in the corporate events and incentives industry. Planning complex international travel experiences became second nature, and I discovered how much I loved crafting journeys that felt seamless, personal, and completely unique to each client.Travel has always been part of my life. My parents introduced me to the world from a very young age, and I realised I wanted to work in travel on the second day of a Contiki tour in 2006. I returned home, cancelled the balance of my Law Degree (after completing my Honours in Biochemistry of all things!), and headed back to Europe, where I spent four years working as a Tour Manager. Those years travelling across Europe, studying its history and culture, shaped the way I plan travel today. I thrive on the “nerdy” side of travel – discovering fascinating stories, hidden gems, and extraordinary experiences that bring destinations to life.Today I specialise in bespoke itineraries, complex multi-country journeys, safari travel, and European holidays. My clients often come to me when they want a trip that goes beyond the obvious – journeys that combine beautiful hotels, authentic experiences, and a sense of discovery.My own travels have taken me to 60 countries so far, with Europe remaining a particular passion – especially France and the Balkan region. One of the most extraordinary journeys I’ve ever taken was an expedition to Antarctica, which remains my favourite travel experience to date. I’m always curious to discover more of the world, with Japan and Alaska currently next on my list.For me, luxury in travel isn’t about extravagance – it’s about thoughtful planning, seamless logistics, and the peace of mind that every detail has been taken care of.My travel philosophy is captured perfectly by the Asian proverb: “It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.”If you’re ready to start planning your next journey, I would love to help you see the world.

It’s Nice To Meet YouI’m Clive, your Travel Counsellor based on the magnificent Cape Peninsula in Noordhoek, supporting clients locally and internationally. My approach is calm, personal, and shaped by many years of extensive international travel.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent years travelling globally for both business and leisure. Those experiences taught me what truly matters when you’re away from home: comfort, reliability, smooth connections, and having someone in your corner when plans change. I bring that same structured attention to detail into every journey I plan.I work particularly well with mature travellers and couples who value thoughtful pacing, careful planning and a reassuring level of support, especially for international travel. Whether it’s a European journey, a UK family visit, a river cruise, or a multi-country itinerary further afield, I focus on designing trips that feel well-considered rather than rushed.Much of my own travel has taken me across Europe, Central and Southern Africa, as well as destinations including Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Sri Lanka and the United States. This practical, real-world experience allows me to guide clients through the logistics of international travel with confidence and clarity.What I appreciate most about being a Travel Counsellor is the ability to provide dedicated one-to-one service. You deal directly with me, and I take personal responsibility for your itinerary from the moment you enquire until you return home. I’m also available outside standard office hours when needed, because travel doesn’t only happen between nine and five.I would be delighted to help you plan your next international journey and create a personalised travel experience designed around what matters most to you.

Welcome! I was born into a family who loves travelling and was fortunate to have experienced our beautiful country’s icons and hidden gems. One of my first “international travel” memories was of watching my uncle’s slide show of their adventurous trip to South America. After school I became an au-pair and lived for 10 months in Germany. It was here that my love for travel was born and I fell in love with Europe. I then enrolled at the University of Pretoria and obtained a B.Com degree in Tourism Management. I recently completed a Diploma in Sales Management from Varsity College as well as a Programme in Advanced Marketing Management from UNISA Centre for Business Management. My career started in 2000: I started at a tour operator specialising in Spain and Portugal. I then moved on to a retail travel agency where I gained a lot of extensive experience. I later joined an international tour operator, selling and promoting escorted tours to Europe, the Mediterranean and the Americas. I gained in-depth knowledge of various countries and visited many destinations. Some of my travel memories include: enjoying the beaches of the Algarve, shopping in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, experiencing Eastern European cultures, cruising in the Greek Isles, driving in the Black Forest and taking a rail journey up the Swiss Mountain peaks, enjoying Austrian music and entertainment and sampling French cuisine, marvelling at the ancient wonders in Egypt and enjoying la Dolce Vita in Italy! Experiencing the night-life in London and Amsterdam and climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge. My 10 years experience in the industry and my passion for what I do motivated me to start my own travel business. As a Travel Counsellor I can offer the best prices and highest service levels thanks to the newest technology and great support from a dynamic global company, plus I am available at a time that suits you. As I enjoy seamless, perfectly planned holidays when I travel - I will always aim to provide this to my clients with whom I build long-term relationships. Extensive planning and careful consideration of various options - like travel routings, airlines, hotels, tours and transportation, all collaborate to create the perfect dream holiday. Holidays are dreams waiting to be realised. So carpe diem - Seize the day! Make that travel enquiry and allow me to make your dream come true!

Hi, I am Anna Dalrymple, a Travel Counsellor based in White River, Mpumalanga. My passion for travelling has taken me to many countries, including most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the USA, and Canada, throughout South America and Southern Africa.

Hi, I'm Claire and I'm based in Somerset West. I've grown up travelling since the tender age of 6 weeks old, both with my family and solo. Most of my best memories involve some aspect of travel and this has always fuelled my passion of helping others craft their memorable travel journeys. I absolutely love assisting my clients to put together truly memorable and personalised itineraries so that they too can craft their own spectacular travel stories for their memory bank.I approach each itinerary as a unique opportunity to create something remarkable. My passion lies in understanding what makes an ideal travel experience special, then bringing those elements together seamlessly. Whether you're dreaming of a sun-soaked beach retreat, an adventurous exploration of ancient ruins, or a cultural immersion in a vibrant city, your journey receives my complete attention to detail.What truly sets my service apart is the personal connection. I believe that the best travel experiences reflect the travellers themselves - their interests, preferences and dreams. By taking the time to understand what matters most to you, I can design experiences that resonate on a deeper level. This isn't about standard packages or one-size-fits-all solutions; it's about crafting moments that become cherished memories.Some of my favourite travel memories include ballooning above the ancient Sossusvlei desert, dining in underground limestone caves in the wine-region around Saumur in France, exploring the colourful markets of Dar es Salaam and winding my way through exceptional scenery on some of the best train journeys across Europe. Still on my bucket list is a horse-riding safari through the Okavango Delta, the epic 16 day rail journey from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam, trail-riding in the Rocky Mountains and seeing the Aurora Borealis in Finland.Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than hearing your stories upon your return - the sunset that took your breath away, the unexpected encounter that became a highlight, or the perfect meal that truly captured the essence of a destination.These stories fuel my passion for all things travel related and remind me why creating these experiences matters.Your journey begins long before you board a plane. It starts the moment we connect to transform your travel aspirations into thoughtfully designed reality. Let me handle the intricate details while you focus on the excitement of anticipation and, ultimately, the joy of discovery. Let me help you create your next travel story.

Some of my favourite destinations have been Egypt, Malawi, the Amazon, Orlando and the crazy fun of Disney and the snow of Denver and Aspen ... of course always Mauritius and the fabulous fun of cruising with friends and family to varied destinations from local to Europe and the Mediterranean.I have realised that there is one very special way to live life and that is to travel all the while meeting new people while living and learning new life experiences that open your world view and change your perceptions of life.

Hi everyone, I am Mercia Gerber a personal Travel Counsellor. Thank you for visiting my web page!I recall my first international destination: Mauritius! At the time I was a junior travel consultant in Bloem and I was amazed at the clear blue water, exotic foods and vibrant atmosphere. This experience made me realise that there is so much to explore all around us, whether it’s a weekend retreat to Clarens or a once-in-lifetime cruise to explore the Caribbean coast that Hemingway wrote about.One of the benefits of living in the Central Region is that destinations are all around you to explore and we all need a breakaway. At the end of a working year I sit down with my family to count our favourite memories of the past year and these are my most cherished possessions!I’ve spent my whole professional career of 17 years in the travel industry, working as junior, intermediate and later as a senior international consultant for national travel management companies. Working with people, I treasure the fantastic holiday stories and photos that they return with! It’s such a joy to briefly share this highlight with them, and to play a part, researching the destinations to help make their dream holiday a reality.My training and qualifications include: BA (Communications) (UFS), Galileo, Focal Point, Ticket & Fares, Cruises International and I have lectured at the University of the Free State in Travel and Tourism. I’d like to avail my knowledge and expertise to arrange your travel requirements.As a Travel Counsellor in Bloemfontein I can now liaise with you at a time that suits your schedule and I am not bound by traditional office hours. Please afford me the opportunity to update you on new holiday offers that might interest you and make your wish come true. Let’s find those holiday deals that make your memory chest and photo albums grow, together!Friendly regards,Mercia

Hi, Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer… and I would love the opportunity to enrich your life! Whilst I might be based in the Pretoria region, I am able to assist anyone, anywhere. I have been working in travel since the by-gone days of paper tickets, so I definitely have the experience and passion to make sure your dream holiday becomes a reality. I am able to do all the normal travel agent booking procedures such as flights, accommodation, car hire, transfers etc., but that is not only why you should book with me. I am here not only to do the basics, but to do all the extras to ensure that your trip planning goes as smoothly as possible. This extends to after-hours assistance, seating preferences, booking special meals, business class lounges, assisting with frequent flyer programme applications and more – every client booking with me, will feel like the VIP they are. The world is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page…Geocaching through Ireland? Exploring the beaches of Thailand? Climbing Everest? Skiing in Switzerland? Shark-Cage diving in Cape Town? Road tripping down Route 66? Shopping in Milan? Drinking a beer in Prague? The world offers so many pages for you to explore that the hardest part will be to choose where to go. I will be on-hand to plan the rest for you. I myself have had the privilege of travelling to Hawaii, London, Dublin, Spain, Czech Republic, India, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Zanzibar, Mombasa, Madrid, Egypt, Washington, Atlanta, and Vienna, as well as extensively through South Africa and Africa whilst working for Rovos Rail. Your journey starts the moment you contact me and remember when preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the spending money.

Welcome to my web page! If you would like to turn your travel into an unforgettable experience, you have come to the right place. My name is Lize Joubert and I am a proud Travel Counsellor who is passionate about travel. Although I am based in Pretoria, I am able to provide a service to my clients in any part of the world. I have lived in Pretoria for the largest part of my life and what I absolutely love about my hometown is its people and their warm hospitality. During 1989 I started my career in travel as a junior travel consultant. Those were the days of paper tickets, handwritten invoices and the fax machine was our most modern technology. Over the years a lot has changed, but one thing remains the same - the uniqueness of people. Whether it’s your beliefs, culture, aspirations, goals, habits or hobbies that inspire you to travel, the experience should speak to you! This is what drives me to create a unique experience with your fingerprint on it. Each destination holds its own adventures, excitement and experience. I have done river rafting on the Zambezi, played in Disneyworld, cruised to Mauritius, kayaked on Lake Malawi and sipped cocktails on the white beaches of the Bahamas, to name but a few, and there is no way I can compare one destination to another. Whatever your dream is, it will be an absolute privilege and pleasure to help create your experience and turn it into fond memories. Please feel free to contact me – even outside office hours.I hope to hear from you soon. Best regards,Lize

I was destined to travel; Zimbabwean-born, South African bred, a British Citizen (I lived there for five years), honorary Australian (my entire family lives there), and I now reside in Knysna with my husband and 2 children. With over 21 years of experience working in the Travel industry - I am passionate about travelling and love adventuring to new countries and exploring exciting cities and cultures. I'm well-travelled and have visited over 30 countries, but I still have a few more ''must-see'' places on my list, such as Fiji, Vietnam, Alaska Cruise, and spending Christmas in New York. I could go on forever. My most memorable travel experience is backpacking around Europe for three months at 20 with my now-husband. We visited 17 countries and explored the most beautiful cities and beaches. We met so many amazing people and had the time of our lives! My intriguing favourites are India, Dubai, Israel, Zanzibar, Mauritius, Australia, and South America. Before I became a Travel Counsellor, I worked for a large leisure retail group (2005 – 2010) and a student travel group (2010 – 2013). I treasure both experiences as they develop me into a knowledgeable travel consultant. I run my travel franchisee with Travel Counsellors. What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is that I can now offer a specialised, personal, one-on-one service. The flexibility of working from home allows me to be available to my customers 24/7. I will always go the extra mile to reconnect you with loved ones, or create your perfect Honeymoon, find the best value-for-money flight, a great hotel or your ideal tour. Go make those memories - let me take you there!"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer."

Welcome to my webpage! I LOVE what I do! I cannot think of another job out there that I’d rather do. Every day is a new challenge, often with a new destination and things to learn. I started off my international travels when I went over to the States to work as an au-pair. Whilst there, I got to travel extensively and to experience most of the “must do’s” in America. I’ve since travelled to Canada, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Tenerife, Hungary, Austria, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, United Arab Emirates and Mauritius. I’m a bit of a sucker when it comes to the “little things” that make your travel arrangements more pleasant. Be it a business trip, a honeymoon, family holiday (I have 2 kids of my own, so trust me when I say that I know what can be expected!) or just a quick breakaway, I will always try and compare your travels to my travels and think of what I can do to make it just that little bit more enjoyable. I have access to fantastic technology that allows me to source and find great available rates within minutes.I have started my own Travel Business and being part of the Travel Counsellors group gives me the opportunity to be independent and available to my much appreciated clients, and it also gives me the back up support that I need. There is over 1 500 Travel Counsellors, just like me, worldwide - so trusted first hand advise can always be sourced should we need to get some “not so easily found” info. Nothing is ever too much effort – please don’t be afraid to ask! I love being able to make your travel dreams come true – so I am a strong believer is making every second memorable! Pop me a mail or give me a buzz - I would love to assist you in making your travel plans a real pleasure!Regards Marijke

Dear Travellers, I am Jaenette Struwig and I welcome you to my Travel Agency located in Paarl. I run my own travel business as a franchisee of Travel Counsellors. My love and passion for Travel and the Travel Industry started after I found myself working in my 20’s, on a Luxury Cruise liner. That allowed me to travel extensively across the world and it naturally led me to my next role to become a Travel Agent. The fact that I loved customers enabled me to be successful in my role. I find great satisfaction working together with my clients to make their dreams come true. Being versatile with Leisure customers as well as Corporate customers and assisting diverse clients’ requirements is so important. My clients know they can trust me, and they know that I have their best interest at heart. I have more than 19 years’ experience working as a Travel Consultant. During this time, I have grown and evolved with all the changes that have happened in the travel industry. I love exploring new ways to assist my clients by being hands on and a forward thinker. I have a big love for Art and Architecture and that is why Edinburgh will always be my favorite city outside of South Africa, but our country with its vast variety of people, amazing beaches and huge variety of food and culture is still my favorite country. Please get in touch with me for your holidays or essential business travel requirements. I look forward to hearing from you.

Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life!This is me, and I am extremely grateful to be in this position. I have worked in Travel my whole adult life, and dreamt about it since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I have been intrigued by the world and the amazing places out there and always known, as long as I can, I want to travel and be involved in travel.I travelled extensively in my 20’s, while working for an international airline as a Flight Attendant, and on the ground. Once I married and started my own family, my travels slowed down a little, but I have never lost the wanderlust. I still try to travel as often as I can, but now I also get to travel through my clients travels. I like to get involved in the planning of a holiday and making sure it is 100% right for each person. Everybody is different, and so should their holidays be. With Travel Counsellors I have access to wonderful systems and dedicated tour operators in various countries around the world, which allow me to create my own tailor made itineraries for each holiday. From Honeymoons in Sri Lanka, to a girls’ break on Gili Air in Bali and a group of friends to Vietnam for cooking experiences. I love creating these experiences and making sure that each holiday is special and suits the persons dream / bucket list ideals.Booking travel can be stressful and overwhelming, with so many choices and options out there. I enjoy taking this stress off you, and make sure that I give the best options, both price and experience wise, for your specific needs and wants. I am based in the Western Cape, but have clients throughout the world. I would love to share in the planning of your travel goals.

Welcome, my name is Tamarin and I am your personal Travel Counsellor.I am based on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand. I lived in South Africa for 38 years before moving to the beautiful country of the long white cloud and love the fact that technology allows me to still do what I love and access great deals for anyone to and from anywhere in the world. I am married with 2 beautiful children, a son and daughter who keep me on my toes at all times. I have also travelled with them so don't be afraid - together we can make this easy. I have over 17 years experience in the travel industry and joined Travel Counsellors in 2010, where I have successfully built my business up from the ground to now where I have an amazing client base. After completing my studies in tourism - I lived, worked and travelled in and around the United Kingdom for 1 year. When returning to South Africa I immediately joined a travel company and pursued my passion in taking the dreams of those around me and creating a reality beyond their highest expectations. I am continually improving my knowledge by attending training and workshops that will benefit what I can offer you - my clients. I have personally travelled to the United Kingdom, Mauritius, Hong Kong, USA (Las Vegas, Orlando & New York), Swaziland, Mozambique, Namibia, Tenerife, Ireland, London, Reunion, Maldives, Thailand, cruised from Italy to France and driven shore to shore of beautiful South Africa. To me travel is a lifestyle and a need, it is a passion that can only be fulfilled with the best planning, knowledge and by someone who cares about what you want. That someone is me, whether it be your first flight, honeymoon, family holiday or business, I will take the greatest care in ensuring that your travels are everything you imagined. I take pride in my work and therefore always strive to get back to you in the shortest time possible with the best options available.

I am available whenever you need me and will go the extra mile to ensure that no detail has been forgotten. I have access to both local and international deals at very competitive prices. I hope to hear from you soon to help you start planning your dream holiday.RegardsTamarin

The human race's need for exploring, experiencing, feeling and being somewhere new, will always drive us to travel. Travelling feeds my soul, whether it is in relation to my own travels or helping others explore a world beyond their own. I am Lize Roodt and I love travel. Inspiring, planning and converting people’s travel dreams into reality is what I do. I have come to believe my love for travel started at a very young age, maybe even while I was still in my mother’s womb as she sat on the back of a bakkie driving on bumpy roads to Sodwana. I have worked in the travel industry in some way or form since I left high school. I completed my BCom (Hons) in Tourism Management after taking a 2-year gap in Europe. I have worked in travel, in the tour operator, retail travel and corporate travel sectors. In 2015 I started my own business in partnership with Travel Counsellors and have not looked back. I believe once you have travelled, it is a continuous life experience. From the moment you get that feeling to move your feet, all the way until you arrive home and you already start to plan the next trip. It is a circular travel experience journey. As a travel enthusiast, I love this journey. I love to inspire and find out WHY my clients are travelling, if they do not have a destination in mind - I strive to find one that matches their needs. By discovering who they are and the reasons why they travel, helps me connect with their journey and ensure I find the best travel solution for them. These journeys take time and attention to plan, so I work differently to your ‘traditional travel agent’, I am not just a booking agent. I consult, I care and create individual travel itineraries with my expertise I have earned through years of experience and using reliable resources and trustworthy travel suppliers and products. Travel Counsellors has made sure I have access to these suppliers’ tips through our innovative technology, everything at my fingertips. Whether you are a first-time traveller or seasonal jet setter, there comes a certain peace of mind when you leave your travel plans to an expert. I am there for you, not just for the planning but every step of the way, before, during and after through this continuous journey. I am always only a phone call away. Talk & Consult. Trust & Care. Travel & Create Memories. Travel Counsellors. Looking forward to creating your travel memories because with us, its personal!

I lived in the UK for six years and have a special place in my heart for London as well as for the beautiful English countryside. When I returned to South Africa I lived in Kruger National Park for a few years before moving to the magnificent city of Cape Town. There we married and settled for 13 years after which my husband was given the opportunity to fly for Qatar Airways and we relocated to Doha, Qatar! Even though we miss our people, I don’t take one day for granted and I am so grateful for the doors that opened for us as a family.

Greetings from the leafy suburb of Kloof in Kwazulu-Natal! My name is Helen and I've been with Travel Counsellors since April 2008. I made this move after spending the previous 15 years working for various airlines, tour operators and retail agencies in SA and London. It was here my passion for travel grew as I handled varied travel arrangements. Travelling to many destinations has been a joy and a privilege which I am grateful for. I've visited many cities around the world spanning the continents of Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. Experiencing diverse cultures, meeting people from different nations and my adventurous nature are some of the reasons I love to travel.Cruising the Inside Passage in Alaska was incredible. Viewing game in the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater National Parks and the Okavango Delta is something I'll treasure forever. Historical Europe and iconic cities like Hong Kong, New York, London, Sydney all have been wonderful. There are many more, and the list of places to see still too long!I want to help you gather treasured moments and memories with your friends and families. Assisting you to get to your preferred destination is what makes my job fulfilling and interesting and I can’t wait to plan it with you. I will guarantee you an exceptional level of personal service and attention to detail. Working from home puts me in the unique position of being able to meet you where ever and whenever it suits you. I am not limited by standard office hours so feel free to drop me an email or give me a call when it is convenient with you. You are also covered by our exceptional Financial Protection Plan which protects your money against supplier insolvency. No other travel company in South Africa offers this. So peace of mind travel is a vital part of the service.I've also spent some time working at a game lodge and had numerous trips around South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, so really do know what to look for when it comes to planning the perfect safari. These are some great places for multi-generational family trips. Conservation and community focused lodges are my speciality.Travelling in nature is my absolute passion, so also enjoy curating those "once in a lifetime" trips to far flung areas where you can explore the remote and pristine wilderness areas left in the word. Thinking of the exploring places your friends haven't considered? Think Arctic Circle, the incredible Northwest Passage and the land of polar bears. Or head south to Patagonia and onwards on an exploration ship to the icebergs of Antartica.Looking forward to hearing from you and turning your dreams into a reality!regards

I have been in the industry for the past 18 years and live in Pretoria.I am an independent travel consultant who can book anything, from your domestic flight to your Black Friday shopping trip in New York, to even a local tour in Gauteng.My journey in travel started when I was doing domestic bookings as part of my duties whilst working as a project co-ordinator.

When I first started, I had no sales experience and I have never previously worked in the travel industry. Now I have built up a wealth of travel knowledge and I am running my own travel business as a Travel Counsellor franchisee.Luckily, all I needed was a willingness to learn and a passion for travel.My second love is cooking and maybe one day I will do a professional cooking course as well. For now travel is my passion and my first priority and I have so much experience and I love it, travel is in my blood.I have also been privileged enough to have travelled to London, Zanzibar, Mauritius, New York, Las Vegas, Turkey, Greece, Dubai, Thailand, Mozambique, Switzerland, Ireland and Scotland.My ultimate goal is to provide exceptional service whilst making your travel dreams a reality.When you book with me, it will be personal and only my best will be good enough.I hope to hear from you soon

Dear TravelerMy name is Jeanne Thirion, a Travel Counsellor based in Kimberley, South Africa. I have been in travel for over 20 years now, and am happy to report, after the scare the pandemic gave us, that travel is back in full swing and that we are looking forward to the future again.I worked as an Au Pair in Germany after school and that is where the travel bug bit. On returning home I studied Travel and Tourism and joined a well know Travel Management Company for over 10 years. It is however, since joining Travel Counsellors in June 2010, that I have discovered the joy of building long lasting personal relationships with my clients and in so doing, being able to offer them superior service and tailor made advice. They love the fact that I am always just a phone call away, a trusted friend who can advise and get them out of a tight fix when the need arises. With Travel Counsellors award winning technology and global contracts, I also have access to a multitude of special rates and services. From flights, accommodation, car rental and tours, cruises, visas, travel insurance and activities, I am your one stop shop.I achieved the Travel Counsellors Award for 'Best Business Increase' for two years running and was honored to take home the award for Best South African Travel Counsellor in 2016. I have travelled to a number of European countries, namely Germany, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria and Italy as well as to our Global Conference in Manchester. I have also visited Mauritius, Zanzibar, Madagascar and Egypt. Each destination holds a special memory.I know that travelling can be stressful and one often doesn’t know where to begin, so please, leave the details in my hands. I’ll take away the worry and leave you with only the excitement of the coming trip and the wonderful memories thereafter. I look forward to assisting you. Yours in travel, Jeanne
