Alicia Ehlers
Based In Waverley, Pretoria
0721711254Based In Waverley, Pretoria
0721711254Hi, I am Alicia – a safari specialist, memory maker, and your go‑to for both leisure and corporate travel that feels effortless from start to finish. With over 23 years in the industry, I have helped clients turn ideas into well planned, beautifully organised trips. Based in Pretoria but working with clients across South Africa and abroad, I bring together solid experience, calm logistics and genuine care to create journeys that feel just right for you. I have worked across many sides of travel over the years: from leisure holidays and corporate trips to heading up the reservations department in South Africa for a beach lodge in Kenya. I also spent years with a tour operator that focused on private and group tours to the Great Migration, tours into Africa and even climbing Kilimanjaro. All of this has taught me how important the details are: the right room or seat, the smooth connections, and those small touches that make a trip truly memorable. I can plan travel to any destination in the world, from quick city breaks and business travel to long haul escapes. But Africa is where my heart really lies. I love crafting journeys to Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and the Great Migration, as well as island escapes to Zanzibar and Mauritius for sunshine, beaches and those “I never want to leave” moments. I specialise in tailor made safaris, romantic honeymoons, and trips that bring people together: small and large groups, events and functions, incentive and corporate groups, special celebrations and multigenerational family holidays. My style is hands on and personal, and I am there for you before, during and after your trip. What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is the freedom to truly look after my clients. You work directly with me from our first chat to your return home, I am available after hours when needed, and you always have someone you know and trust to turn to if anything unexpected comes up while you are away. Whether you are dreaming of a once in a lifetime safari, a barefoot on the beach honeymoon, a big celebration, a corporate incentive or simply a well deserved break, I would love to help you bring it to life. Let us create your next trip together – one that feels like it was made just for you, because it is. -

Well did you know that it’s made from yeast extract, a by-product of brewing beer, Marmite (or Vegemite as it’s known as in Australia) is essentially the slurry from the bottom of the barrel that most breweries just throw away. It’s a sticky brown paste with a concentrated, salty flavour that’s usually spread on toast or eaten with cheese. Now that I have your attention my name is Jessica Cameron. I live in Bloemfontein and I’ve had the privilege of working in the travel industry since 21 April 2001 for a large retail agency. My career had started and 5 months later September 9/11 happened which changed the world of travel as we know it and just after that the Tsunami and ash clouds and covid to name a few. It comes in handy if you have someone to call…someone that can assist you or just give you that reassurance that all will be ok. That’s where I come in.

+27826403381Tailored Leisure Travel Experiences I’m Clive, a Travel Counsellor based on the Cape Peninsula in Noordhoek, working with 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. -

+27 76 142 4239Hello… I’m Alex Vorster, your personal Travel Counsellor based in the relaxed coastal village of Melkbosstrand, Cape Town. While this is home for me, I look after clients across South Africa and beyond, offering one trusted point of contact and personal support from our very first conversation until you arrive safely back home. My passion for travel began at the age of 21 when I worked aboard cruise ships, exploring more than 40 countries around the world. Those years at sea gave me a deep appreciation for different cultures, incredible cuisine and the joy of discovering new destinations. They also sparked a lifelong love of cruising that I still enjoy sharing with my clients today. With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, I understand that no two travellers are the same. Every journey should reflect your interests, your pace and the memories you want to create. Europe has always held a special place in my heart, particularly Greece, Italy and France. Whether you're dreaming of island sunsets in the Greek Isles, wandering the charming streets of Italy, discovering the romance of France, enjoying a luxury cruise, or embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I use my first-hand travel experience to create holidays that are seamless, personalised and unforgettable. I especially enjoy helping families, couples and honeymooners create experiences they'll treasure forever. From multi-generational family holidays where everyone feels included, to romantic honeymoons filled with thoughtful touches and unforgettable moments, I take the time to understand what matters most to you and tailor every itinerary to suit your individual needs. For me, travel is about far more than simply booking flights and accommodation, it's about creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories. Every enquiry is personal, and I treat each holiday as if I were planning it for my own family. No detail is too small, and no dream is too ambitious. If you're ready to start planning your next adventure, I'd be honoured to help you create a journey you'll remember for a lifetime. “Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures.” -

The travel industry isn't just about the job, it’s as much of an adventure as the actual journey - I’m still passionate after all these years – volcanic eruptions aside!

Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover” – H. Jackson Brown Jr. My name is Marion Pearson and I am your Travel Counsellor! I am locally based here in sunny South Africa. Johannesburg has been my home since I was 19 years old but every time I travel I leave a piece of myself behind… I suppose in a way a “marker” for me to return and relive the memories. I am the youngest of 4 children and I am very close to my siblings, family is always close to my heart and I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for them. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2021, as a young adult, I always had the dream of travelling and exploring the world. To reach this dream, there was only one way – study and learn as much as I can. I qualified with distinctions in a Travel & Tourism Career Diploma, City and Guilds Certificate and GDS system course. Since 2004 I have been fortunate enough to work in various sectors of the travel industry; corporate and leisure travel, tour operator, leisure and groups. This lets me develop skills in planning and creating the most memorable experiences for my clientele. One of the perks of being a travel agent in this industry, is the opportunities it afforded me to travel, both professionally and personally. To experience first-hand the destinations and places that I love and then to be able to share this with my clients is invaluable. Some of the destinations that I have been to include: Mauritius, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Australia, Thailand, USA, Greece, Austria and Croatia. I always had it on my bucket list that I wanted to set foot on every continent, so far I have 5 down (Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, Europe) with 2 more to go; Antarctica and South America. I hope to hear from you soon to find out about your dreams, bucket list destinations and adventures you want to experience. -

083 326 2232Hello and welcome. Andre Gide said: “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore”. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the good fortune of travelling on high-speed trains in Shanghai, exploring New York, revelling in the sights and sounds of London, sailing in a yacht in Sydney harbour, lazing on a sunny beach of Mauritius, learning to tango in Argentina, stopping for a cool drink on the promenade of Rio, striding down the marble road of the library in Ephesus. Oh yes and there was the polite declining to partake of a stew of bats in Seychelles, screeching like a kid on the sand dunes of Dubai, getting soaked in the rain in Auckland, crouching/crawling through underground tunnels in Vietnam, riding a rather smelly camel at the pyramids… …aah just some of the memories of travelling far and wide through USA, United Kingdom, Europe, Russia, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, South America, Indian and Ocean Islands among others. Oh and then there's Alaska – its on my bucket list – still working on it! Ooh and did I tell you that I've a huge crush on cruising!!! How else can you visit more than one country, eat as much as you like, shop until you drop, gym until you’re slim, relax at the pool, watch a show, mingle or find a quiet spot, have a pedi, climb a rock wall, dress up, dress down….and unpack only once!

0828829261Hello, and welcome. I'm Kerith, and I design extraordinary journeys for travellers who understand the difference between a trip and a transformative experience. From my base in Johannesburg, I curate bespoke adventures for discerning clients worldwide – the kind of meticulously crafted itineraries where every element has been personally vetted, from that impossible-to-book restaurant in Provence to the safari guide who truly understands wildlife photography. My path here wasn't conventional. After completing Honours in Biochemistry and beginning Law, I had an epiphany on day two of a 2006 Contiki tour: this was my calling. I abandoned academia, returned to Europe, and spent four transformative years as a Tour Manager, absorbing the continent's layers of history, culture, and hidden stories. Those formative years shaped everything. I developed an obsession with the details that elevate travel – the historical context that brings ruins to life, the family-run vineyard tourists never find, the perfectly timed sunrise over Santorini that requires insider knowledge. Before launching my Trave Counsellors franchise in 2019, I spent nearly two decades orchestrating complex corporate events and incentive programmes. Planning intricate international experiences became instinctive; I discovered my talent for creating journeys that feel effortless yet utterly personal. Today, I specialise in bespoke multi-country journeys, African safaris, and European trips that go far beyond the guidebook recommendations. My clients seek something deeper – intelligent itineraries that balance iconic experiences with authentic discoveries, luxury with meaning. I've been lucky enough to travel to more than 60 countries (so far!), with Europe remaining my greatest passion. France captivates me endlessly; the Balkans continue to surprise. But Antarctica remains my most profound travel experience, a reminder that the world's most extraordinary places demand expert navigation. Japan and Alaska await me next - and from there Vietnam and the polar regions are on my list. Curiosity, after all, is what drives exceptional travel curation. True luxury isn't about ostentation – it's about flawless orchestration, insider access, and the confidence that comes from working with someone who genuinely understands your aspirations. Luxury is not a price tag, it is working with someone who takes the time wo understand YOU and what you are looking for in your travels. I'm guided by an Asian proverb that perfectly captures my philosophy: "It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times." Ready to transform wanderlust into reality? Let's design something unforgettable. -

0826515564Hi, 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 in Namibia, dining in underground limestone caves in the wine-region around Saumur in France, exploring the colourful markets of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and winding my way through exceptional scenery on some of the best train journeys across France, Germany, Italy and Czechoslovakia. I have also taken long and winding self-drive journeys through Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe - it's one of my favourite ways to really discover a country. I was most recently in Mauritius filling up my travel bucket on a fantastic educational and I have a wealth of knowledge about this fantastic family-friendly island destination. Still on my bucket list is a horse-riding safari through the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the epic 16 day rail journey from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, trail-riding in the Rocky Mountains in the USA 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. -
Lize Roodt
Based In Gardens, Cape Town
076 703 5070Based In Gardens, Cape Town
076 703 5070The human desire to explore, to stand somewhere different on this earth will always drive us to travel. Travel feeds my soul, whether I am off on my own adventure or helping someone else discover a world beyond their own. I am Lize Roodt, and I love travel with purpose. Inspiring, planning and turning people’s travel dreams into reality is what I do. I believe travel connects deeply to life’s moments: When something good happens, travel to celebrate. When something bad happens, travel to heal. If nothing is happening, travel to make something happen. My journey started young, when my family moved to the United Kingdom when I was 5. At a time when sanctions limited South Africans, we were lucky enough to explore Europe, often through Eurocamp resorts. After school I returned to the UK for 2 years, working on Herm Island in the Channel Islands, then in Glasgow and London, with a trip to Ireland and a wild 10‑countries‑in‑21‑days Contiki tour that cemented my career path. Since then I have travelled widely: Australia’s vibrant east coast cities and Whitsunday Islands, our neighbours Mozambique, Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia, plus extensive travels all over South Africa. Industry trips have taken me to Mauritius, Cancun, Macau, Victoria Falls and beautiful Kruger lodges. My love of hiking and yoga has led me along trails like the Fish River Canyon, the Otter Trail and, in 2025, the Inca Trail in Peru, with an unforgettable visit to Machu Picchu and a stopover in São Paulo. I have also explored Morocco and co‑hosted a retreat in Namibia, dashed through Copenhagen and Stockholm, and road‑tripped Iceland. Even in destinations I have not yet visited, like Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkey, Croatia and the Indian Ocean Islands, I have done extensive training and booked many trips. Over the years I have developed a particular passion and expertise for honeymoons, wellness escapes, sustainable and tailor‑made travel. I am a big supporter of solo travel, because it has been the backbone of my own story, and I know how to design trips that feel safe, empowering and deeply personal when you are travelling on your own. I also understand the beautiful chaos of multi‑generational travel. Coordinating ouma and oupa, Uncle Bill, the kids’ school schedule and the rest of the family can be… let us say “interesting”. I have all the patience in the world for ouma and oupa, so that everyone feels cared for and unrushed. I am proud to work with an incredible LGBTQ+ NGO corporate client who have given me a far deeper understanding of the community and how to truly serve their needs with respect, sensitivity and joy. Inclusion is not a buzzword for me, it is a daily practice in how I listen, research and design each trip. For me, travel is not a single event but a continuous life experience. It begins the moment you feel that first itch to move your feet, runs through the planning and anticipation, and continues long after you arrive home. I am a passionate advocate for mindful travel: choosing experiences, routes and timings that honour your energy, your values and the places you visit. I believe in a delicate balance between flexibility and solid structure, the freedom to move about and follow your curiosity while knowing the important basics are covered. This looks different for everyone, which is why every journey I design is personal. If you do not yet have a destination in mind, I will help you find one that matches your needs and your “why”. Whether you are a first‑time traveller or a seasoned jet setter, there is real peace of mind in handing your plans to an expert. I am here for you at every step: before, during and after your trip. I am always only a phone call away. Talk & Consult. Trust & Care. Travel & Create Memories. I look forward to creating your travel memories with you, because with us, it is personal. -

082 459 7510I’m Michelle Kaye, your dedicated Travel Counsellor and passionate Jo’burger, with the spirit of adventure running through my veins. My journey in travel began as a wide-eyed 19‑year‑old and for over 28 years I’ve had the privilege of transforming wanderlust into dream holidays for clients who often become friends. From the wonder of my very first overseas family escape, when I fell under the spell of Walt Disney World, to traversing the globe and collecting memories across almost every continent (Antarctica is still on my list), travel has always been my heartbeat. Now, as a proud business owner with Travel Counsellors, I’m able to share this love story with you. New York’s electric energy steals a piece of my heart each time I visit, while closer to home I find solace and soul-renewal in South Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. The Greater Kruger National Park has been my sanctuary since childhood, and there is nowhere I’d rather seek peace or adventure. The Western Cape’s charm is irresistible too, from Cape Town’s iconic sights to the golden beaches of Plettenberg Bay. Over the years I’ve explored a wide range of destinations, which means I can combine first-hand insight with meticulous planning. Places I’ve visited include: USA (including New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston, Washington DC, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Walt Disney World in Florida), Canada, Mexico (Cancún & Cozumel), Belize, The Bahamas, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Zimbabwe, Botswana & Chobe, Egypt, Israel, the United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Spain, Poland, the Czech Republic, Turkey, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Mauritius and Australia. Your travel dreams deserve more than a generic itinerary. With me as your personal Travel Counsellor, every journey is crafted to fit your wishes, style and sense of wonder: whether it is adrenaline in the Alps, unwinding on a sun-drenched coast, or immersing yourself in vibrant cities. I’m here for it all: passionate planning, expert insight and care that continues from your first idea to your safe return home. Let’s build memories that last a lifetime. Your next adventure is waiting, and I can’t wait to create it for you. -

I’ve been consulting in the Travel Industry for 44 years, handling both Corporate and Leisure Travel! Travel is my passion! I’ve personally travelled to Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Greece and the Greek Islands, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil, the Amazon, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Zambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Swaziland. I have just returned home from an awesome trip to Sydney and spent 2 weeks in New Zealand ... a country I could spend hours giving you information on .... a beautiful country! I’ve also visited Reunion and Zanzibar not to mention Mauritius … I have an absolute passion for Mauritius and have had the privilege of visiting over 38 hotels on the Island! Each side of Mauritius Island has something ‘special’ to offer! Each hotel offers a totally different holiday! I've also cruised …. What a wonderful cost effective way of travelling! Due to the volatility of our exchange rate, cruising offers great value for money as it includes, meals and selected drinks, entertainment and transportation to your destination. The cruise itself is like a destination. Consider a cruise for your next holiday. I've sold the USA as though I've lived there my entire life! Last but not least, I've also travelled my own country extensively …‘beautiful South Africa’! Over a period of time I've also visited most of the Private Game Lodges in the Sabi Sands area. For ultimate luxury … and one of my all-time favourites is a 3 night break at the Oyster Box in Umhlanga Rocks. I've successfully completed Advanced Travel courses to obtain my International Travel Agent’s status. Thanks to the advanced technology of the Travel Counsellors systems, I love the ability to ‘Tailor–make’ an itinerary to suite my customers exact requirements. Need a visa? Give me a call and I will guide you with my expert knowledge! Need foreign exchange at a good deal? Give me a call – I can order it on your behalf!

It is one where I have been fortunate enough to have been following for 10 years. Out of all the places that I have been to, my favorite place has to be my very first travel destination, Israel, what an experience ! This is a country so full of history, the most amazing food and fantastic beaches! The best thing about travel is that you get to experience another countries history, make new friends and experience diverse cultures, its quite a privilege. What I really love about being a Travel Counsellor, is that I have the flexibility to work hours that suit me and my clients. I don't need to stick to the usual 9 to 5 office hours, if you need assistance outside of the usual working hours, I am available to assist. I also really love the fact that I am able to meet my clients in person when it suits them, so many people don't get the time to attend to personal things during work hours, so I am available to come to your office if need be. If you are thinking about an adventure, whether it's your honeymoon, your dream holiday or a weekend break, it would be a pleasure to assist you in putting it all together! Take Care Melissa -

082 783 4853Hello, I'm Helen Georghiou. With almost 39 years in the travel industry, I believe exceptional holidays are built on personal experience, expert knowledge and genuine care. Born and raised in South Africa, with Greek and Cypriot heritage, travel has always been woven into my life. My mother was born in Piraeus, Greece, and my father in the picturesque mountain village of Vouni, Cyprus, giving me a deep connection to these beautiful destinations. Having travelled extensively throughout Cyprus, Greece and many of the Greek Islands, I specialise in designing bespoke itineraries that go beyond the ordinary, whether you're dreaming of a romantic island escape, a cultural journey through ancient Greece or discovering authentic villages in Cyprus. My travels have also taken me to destinations including Mauritius, Morocco, Hong Kong, Belgium and Russia. Standing in Moscow's iconic Red Square remains one of my most unforgettable travel memories. Having visited Mauritius many times, I can guide you to the best regions for the season, including why the west coast is the perfect choice during the island's winter. My years with Sabena World Airlines also saw me travelling regularly to Brussels for advanced training, adding invaluable international experience to my career. Some of the most treasured travel memories are found around the table. From the incredible flavours of Morocco - so reminiscent of the Mediterranean cuisine of Greece and Cyprus - to enjoying the finest Peking Duck I've ever tasted in Hong Kong, I believe food is one of the greatest ways to experience a destination and its culture. Based in Faerie Glen, Pretoria, I provide a highly personalised travel planning service, taking the time to understand what makes each journey special. Whether you're planning a luxury escape, a family holiday, an unforgettable honeymoon or the bucket-list adventure you've always dreamed of, I'll tailor every detail to suit you. With the personal service and financial protection of Travel Counsellors, you can relax knowing every journey is planned with expertise, passion and attention to detail. When I'm not creating unforgettable holidays, you'll find me cooking traditional Greek dishes, baking family favourites or spending time with my two beloved Yorkies. -

083 256 6894Welcome to my world of tailored travel. London is where it all began for me and will always be one of my favourite cities. As a young girl on my first overseas trip, the bright lights, “minding the gap” and Yorkie bars on the Tube lit a spark for travel that never went out. Since then, my journeys have taken me far and wide: I have stood in awe before the Pyramids of Egypt, cycled through Tuscany’s rolling hills, marvelled at the power of Victoria Falls and sipped Champagne beneath the Eiffel Tower. A true dream come true was taking my two daughters to Mauritius, sharing its turquoise waters, soft sands and warm island hospitality as a family. I have also soaked up the magic of Namibia’s vast dunes and wild coastline, experiences that deepen the insight and inspiration I bring to every trip I design. For those I haven’t met yet, I’m Kirsty: your personal, concierge‑style travel consultant. With 28 years of experience in the travel industry, I specialise in designing luxury, tailor‑made holidays for clients who want that “extra special” trip. I have a particular passion for the Indian Ocean, unforgettable safaris and those big bucket list journeys that stay with you for a lifetime. I love working with couples, families, busy professionals and anyone who values expert guidance, personal care and the reassurance that every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of. What you can expect when you work with me Truly personal service: I take time to understand your travel style, preferences and dreams, then design a holiday that feels uniquely yours. Luxury, hand‑picked: From indulgent island hideaways and boutique safari lodges to iconic city stays and celebration trips, every recommendation is carefully chosen. Support and protection: As part of an award‑winning, established travel company, my clients benefit from financial protection and dedicated support if plans need to change. Stress‑free planning: Flights, transfers, accommodation, experiences and those special touches: I bring everything together seamlessly so you can simply relax and enjoy. I have always loved what I do and always will. For me, travel is about people. It is about understanding what matters most to you, then quietly working behind the scenes to make those dreams come true. Wherever you would like to go next, and whatever you are imagining for your perfect escape, I can bring it to life with care, creativity and attention to detail.

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 -

+2782 551 6471Hello and welcome to my webpage. My name is Petrie Sinclair and I live in Northcliff, Johannesburg and love everything about it - the people, the vibe, theatre and the culture of Johannesburg. I am married, have three adult sons, a daughter-in-law who I see as a wonderful friend, 2 fabulous and feisty granddaughters and a delightful one-year-old grandson. With 23 years in the travel industry, I’ve built my own business with Travel Counsellors, drawn to its flexibility and financial security. Operating from home, I’m available 24/7 to craft your perfect journey with professionalism and care, no matter where you are in the world. I’m not just a travel agent - I’m an Experience Finder. My passion for travel, beach holidays, and lesser known destinations fuels my mission to uncover the roads less traveled. I have a special interest in countries like Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republik, Slovenia, Montenegro, Vietnam, India, Scotland, Portugal, Greece, the Far East, South America and any beach destination, especially Mauritius, Zanzibar and the Maldives and therefore specialise in creating authentic, off-the-beaten-path adventures tailored to your unique desires. Whether you’re craving something fresh, unusual, or deeply personal, I cut through the noise to design journeys that resonate with your authentic self. My approach is rooted in honesty, a people-first mindset, and pride in delivering exceptional value. I understand that travelers often feel they’ve “run out of road,” seeking experiences beyond standard tourism. That’s where I shine - finding hidden gems and building customized, life-changing trips around them. With me, you’re not just booking a trip; you’re investing in a story of calm, certainty, and unforgettable moments. Let me help you discover a travel experience that’s uniquely yours.

+27685145849Meet Milady Tshandu-Limetyeni Introduction Hi, I'm Milady Tshandu-Limetyeni, a Travel Counsellor based in Sandton, Johannesburg - though don't let that limit you, I look after clients from anywhere in the world. When I'm not planning unforgettable journeys, I'm a busy (and very happy) wife and mother of two energetic boys, which means I know exactly how much a well-planned holiday is worth to a busy family and I bring that same care to every trip I plan for you. Your Experience Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2026, I spent 18+ years immersed in luxury safari travel, specialising in Southern and East Africa, working closely with high-net-worth clients to craft exceptional, tailor-made journeys. That depth of experience means that when you book with me, you're booking with someone who has walked the ground, knows the lodges, the guides, and the small details that turn a good trip into an extraordinary one. My Favourite Destinations If you ask me to name one favourite trip, it will always be the Great Migration in East Africa; there's nothing quite like witnessing it firsthand. Beyond that, my heart belongs to Southern and East Africa as a whole: South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Mozambique, along with the idyllic island escapes of Mauritius, the Seychelles, and the Maldives. Each of these destinations holds a special place for me, and I love helping clients discover exactly why. What I Love What I love most about being a Travel Counsellor is the freedom it gives me the autonomy to run my own business, my own way, on my own terms. But that freedom has always come with one purpose: giving my clients the very best of me. Without a call centre or a queue standing between us, I get to focus entirely on you, crafting a personal, high-touch service built around your needs, not a script. That's the whole point of the independence I have; it lets me show up fully for the people I work with, whenever they need me. Let's Plan Your Next Journey I'd love to start planning your next adventure with you; get in touch, and let's make it unforgettable! -
Debby Apetauer
Based In Johannesburg
082 418 1868Based In Johannesburg
082 418 1868Welcome, I’m Debby. I’m a home‑based Travel Counsellor working from the eastern suburbs of Johannesburg, where I take care of your travel plans wherever you (or I) are in the world. My “office” stretches from my kitchen table to your favourite coffee shop, from late‑night WhatsApps to early‑morning Teams calls. If you travel outside the lines, you are in the right place. My love affair with travel began long before I ever boarded a plane. As a shy 21‑year‑old with a backpack and a head full of dreams, I set off from Luxembourg to Greece, to Holland and then Israel, piecing together a route by train, plane and ferry. It was messy, imperfect and unforgettable: the kind of journey that changes how you see the world and yourself. Much of my early exploring was solo. I welcomed 1 January 2000 in Ireland, then crossed by ferry to visit family in London, hopped over to Paris for a weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday, returned a few years later for a creative workshop that filled my notebook and my soul, and in December 2018 wandered through the Czech Republic with my husband, weaving family visits into winter streets and Christmas lights. France has called me back twice since my 40th, and I finally met Milan in person. Quietly, Milan is starting to rival Paris as my favourite European city. In 2023 I drifted along the rivers of Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands and spent Christmas in Amsterdam again, something I last did (and loved) in 1992. In November 2024 I returned to the UK for the first time since 2000, spending time with fellow Travel Counsellors in Manchester and with dear friends in Wales. Every journey I take uncovers new stories, shortcuts and little secrets to pass on to you, so your travels feel less generic and more like they were designed with you in mind. I love working with: Solopreneurs and digital nomads who need trips that blend Wi‑Fi, work rhythms and pockets of wonder. Couples who want to celebrate milestones with more than just a standard hotel and a checklist of sights. Pilgrims and spiritual seekers walking ancient paths, craving space for reflection as much as beautiful views. Creatives hunting for streets, galleries, cafés and landscapes that feed their next idea. Solo travellers at any age, whether it is your first time away alone or your fiftieth. I believe travel can shape people. A single journey can shift the way you see your work, your relationships, your creativity and your human experience. By sharing what I have learned on the road, I help you shape experiences that, in turn, shape your life: not just where you go, but how you feel, what you notice and who you become along the way. Being a Travel Counsellor means I am not tied to traditional office hours. We can meet when it suits your life and your time zone: in person, by phone, on Teams or over email. Behind me is a global community of over 2 000 fellow Travel Counsellors who share their insights and experience freely, so your travels benefit not just from my journeys, but from theirs too. Whether you are planning a quick city break to reset your creativity, a long working‑from‑anywhere adventure, a slow pilgrimage, a romantic escape or your first solo trip, I would be honoured to help you shape it. Tell me what is tugging at your heart at the moment, and let us start designing a journey that feels like it was made just for you. -

Like the drums of Africa, it has its own rhythm.

Based in the “pearl” of the Garden Route, George, I provide a premium travel management service to clients across South Africa, and globally. I am happily married, and proud to share life with a wonderful family that includes two stepchildren, and three grandchildren. With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, travel has always been a huge part of my life, and my own experiences have given me a wonderful understanding of just how special it is to explore the world. I travelled through Europe on a 30 day Contiki Tour, covering France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Spain, explored 4 beautiful Greek islands, and was fortunate enough to live in London for 4 years, giving me the opportunity to travel extensively and explore Europe on a deeper level with either weekend trips to Paris, or a girls trip staying in the villages of Tuscany and being track-side at the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco. My travels have also included family holidays to Mauritius, skiing in Austria and visiting Paris, as well as an unforgettable solo tour through Canada and the USA. One of my most special trips was experiencing the Serengeti migration with my parents and my husband in Tanzania. Closer to home, I have enjoyed exploring so much of what South Africa has to offer, including the Kruger National Park and the Drakensberg. This first hand knowledge provides a distinct advantage, and have taught me that every traveller is different. Whether you are looking for a memorable family holiday, a solo adventure, a romantic getaway for two, or an exciting group trip, I understand the importance of creating a holiday that suits you. To ensure continuous support, I offer 24/7 availability for any trip modifications, immediate assistance, and expert advice, ensuring peace of mind at every stage of your trip.

082 443 2277Welcome! My name is Shirley Shearer, and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Zinkwazi Beach, just north of Ballito in KZN and near the new Club Med Resort. As a Travel Counsellor (also known as a TC), I have the flexibility to serve clients from anywhere in the world, ensuring that distance is never a barrier to providing support and guidance. Before becoming a TC, I was involved in the conception and launch of the Outdoor Adventure and Travel Expo. As the owner of this event, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to over 38 different countries over 30 years. My journeys included attending renowned Travel Expos in Berlin, London, and Durban (Indaba), further deepening my passion for travel and adventure. These experiences have been deeply rooted in my career and continue to influence my approach as a TC today. My 4 Favourite Destinations: 1. Bali – which I have been to many times and remains the top of my list. Bali is very spiritual, and beautiful, exotic and the people are kind and gentle. The island has that WOW factor and leaves one with many memories. Nature and Wildlife, Beaches, Markets, Traditional Villages, Surfing, Cuisine and more. 2. India – was my first ‘off the African Continent experience’. I loved the journey – the exotic aromas, beautiful jewellery, crafted items, carpets, hustle and bustle, the people. There is much to explore, including the exotic Taj |Mahal, Temples, Elephant Encounters, Tigers Tours, and much more – a new awakening of the soul. 3.

082 500 8578Welcome 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 -

071 897 1725Greetings 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 -

083 662 0657Hello and thank you for visiting my web page! My name is Maya, and I am based on the West Coast, Matzikama District. I’ve recently moved here and am loving life at the beach as well as all the outdoor activities available in this area. I have enjoyed 32 years of working in the Travel Industry, looking after both my leisure and corporate clients. It was something I had always wanted to do from the word go. I have had experience working in a travel agency as a consultant and later as a manager, and I have also managed my own company for a number of years. I began my travel career at a travel agency in Somerset West. I gained more experience in London and travelled throughout Europe, USA, New Zealand, Indonesia, and more. I later lived along the beautiful Garden Route in Plettenberg Bay & I returned to the Western Cape, where I settled with my family. I have made many bookings for clients travelling to South Africa & surrounding countries - this is where my German comes in handy! I speak English and Afrikaans fluently, having been born in South Africa. As a young girl, I lived in Ireland for 2 years and throughout my working career, I have had the opportunity to travel extensively to many interesting places such as Indonesia, New Zealand, the USA (including Disney World), the Maldives, Mauritius, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and extensively throughout Namibia and South Africa. I decided to join Travel Counsellors in March 2010, and realised that I couldn't have made a better move! Travel Counsellors are the worldwide market leaders in operating and supporting a network of only the most experienced travel professionals. Being a Travel Counsellor and being part of a global network does so much more for my travel business. I have access to fantastic technology, great offers (both local and international), and a network of Travel Counsellors from across the globe. I take pride in offering outstanding client service. A testament to this is that most of my clients have moved with me over the years, and I enjoy the personal relationships I have developed with them.

082 708 5876Welcome! 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! -

082 561 5205Hi 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.

082 411 6813Travel has been part of my story from the moment I finished Matric and jumped on a plane to Europe at 18. A year in Germany, a season in the United States and three unforgettable years living and working in the UK turned a simple love of holidays into a lifelong passion for exploring the world. Somewhere along the way, I realised just how proud I am to be South African and how strongly Africa was calling me home. In 1999 I turned that passion into my profession and began my career as a travel agent. Since then I have explored Africa, India, the Far East and Australia, and spent more than two decades designing holidays that are personal, seamless and full of “wow” moments. Today I run my own home‑based travel business, aligned with Travel Counsellors. I have the backing of outstanding technology, IT, operations and marketing support, which means I can focus on what I love most: getting to know my clients and creating trips that fit them perfectly. Nothing makes me happier than a client returning with their expectations exceeded and their view of a destination transformed. I am available around the clock for my clients, and when you book through one of our approved suppliers your money is protected, so you can relax from day one. I look forward to being of service to you and booking all your travel requirements. -

082 829 7000Dear Traveler My 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 -

071 472 1996I 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." -

083 564 3856Hello, and thank you for stopping by. As a personal Travel Counsellor working with discerning clients across South Africa and around the world, I have been designing exceptional journeys since 1995. For almost three decades, I have specialised in turning dream holidays into beautifully curated, real experiences. My own travels have taken me from the palm‑fringed shores of Mauritius and the islands of Malaysia and Borneo, to the vibrant streets of Thailand and Vietnam, the colours of Morocco, and the classic charm of Europe’s great cities. Closer to home, exploring the length and breadth of South Africa has given me a deep appreciation for its beauty and diversity. These journeys shape the way I design trips: authentic, thoughtful and tailored to you. For me, travel is about far more than ticking places off a list. It is the feeling of warm sand between your toes at sunset in Mauritius, the rush of a long‑tail boat gliding past limestone cliffs in Thailand, or the quiet magic of lantern‑lit evenings in Vietnam. Those are the moments I design my trips around. I create bespoke, luxury journeys that are as individual as you are. Perhaps you are dreaming of an overwater‑style escape for two in the Indian Ocean, a cultural adventure through Southeast Asia, or a special trip that brings different generations together. I take the time to understand what truly matters to you: the pace you enjoy, the level of service you love, and the stories you want to bring home. Whether it is a romantic escape, a celebration with friends, a memorable family holiday or a multi‑generational gathering, I carefully tailor each itinerary to the people travelling. From elegant beachfront resorts in Mauritius with space for everyone, to private villas in Thailand or boutique riverfront hotels in Vietnam, every detail is chosen so each traveller feels considered and cared for. Over the years I have gained international travel qualifications and worked with some of South Africa’s most respected travel companies, giving me the knowledge and insight to design holidays that feel seamless and special. Your personal travel designer When you choose to work with me, you gain your own trusted travel designer. I am here to listen, to inspire and to guide you towards the experiences that will stay with you long after you return home. This is not about off‑the‑shelf holidays. It is about thoughtfully curated itineraries, handpicked hotels and meaningful experiences that feel “just right” for you, whether you are travelling as a couple, with friends, or as a wider family. If you are ready for your next unforgettable chapter in Mauritius, Thailand, Vietnam or beyond, I would love to start planning it with you. -

082 817 4098Welcome 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
