It's Nice To Meet 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.

Again Petrus and I want to thank you for organizing our flights to Sao Paulo with SAA and to Panama with Copa Airlines. One of the airlines let us down, but if it wasn’t for your effort and dedication our holiday could have been ruined.

In March 2018 Lynde helped me and my sister with a trip to Dubai and Phuket! She was wonderful in helping us chose accommodation, the best flights and providing us with helpful information and the booking of excursions.
Thank you Lynde for your enthusiasm and for your occupation and for helping our dreams come true.

During a visit to SA, I had to return unexpectedly to the UK. This marvel of a travel agent - who I didn't even book my ticket through - did absolutely everything for me & got me safely back. I cannot recommend her highly enough ... she is one of a kind ... a treasure!

I just want to thank you again for ALL the help with our Iceland trip and the visa sorted last week.
I know NO OTHER travel agent who would have gone so far out of her way to help us — especially also in the evening for me.
Please know that we really appreciate it!

Lynde booked my Mom and I a trip to Thailand to see our kids. She sent extremely quick responses to my requests and was so professional:). We were kept informed of our flight time changes and she checked us in and pre-booked our seats without us having to lift a finger!
Lynde went above and beyond to make my first time overseas an absolute pleasure! I recommend Lynde to all my friends and colleagues and will most definitely continue to do so. Ten out of ten!

Lynde was recommended to me after I spoke at the Travel Counsellors Conference last year. It has been such a pleasure having her book my travel for business ever since then.
Lynde always has great advice on travel options (she has travelled the world herself!) and I love that she is so quick to get back to me on any enquiry.
She really goes the extra mile and her great sense of humour adds such a spark to our interactions!
What makes Lynde especially unique in the travel industry is that she has first hand knowledge and advice on travelling with a disability as her husband is a wheelchair user. She knows the challenges involved which is a great assistance to me as a traveller with a disability.

I have been dealing with Lynde for a few years now and her service has always been superb, but she completely outdid herself when she organised my trip to Russia! She arranged absolutely everything from visas, travel vouchers, hotel bookings in places that you've never heard of (& where they don't speak or read English), and air tickets. All I had to do was to get on the plane!
6 Star Service!

Lynde will be my go-to-girl for any and all future vacations. It is hard to find a great travel agent and I’m so lucky to have one for life. Lynde was always available and responded promptly to all my questions. Her organisation, planning, recommendations, knowledge, quotes, professionalism and customer service were all excellent, A++
A Big thank you - We had an amazing time in Thailand! All the best!

We recently travelled to Phuket and Lynde did our travel arrangements for the five of us. While we were having a blissful time abroad, the guy at the airport who checked us in, messed up and cancelled two of our seats for the flight home! We were absolutely unaware of it, while Lynde picked it up, spend hours on the phone and managed to rebook us on the same flight home. Lynde, you're amazing!

Who said booking your travel on the Internet was cheaper and easier?!
After spending ages searching the net for a good deal on a ticket to Europe, I called Lynde... within minutes (literally!!) she had a solution that saved me R2k on the cheapest flight I'd found. Plus she offered great advice on visas, hotels and car hire.
She's an absolute genius. Much cleverer than the Internet!

Lynde het oor die verloop van 18 maande 3 buitelandse reise vir ons gesin gereel en besprekings gedoen. Ek kan getuig dat sy elke keer uit haar pad gegaan het om inligting te bekom insake eindbestemmings wat soms redelik onbekend is bv. Antartika en Patagonia. Al ons visums was altyd betyds en die hotelle soos aanbeveel sentraal gelee met goeie diens. Sy het ook ervaring en weet waarvan sy praat.

Ons het nou al drie vakansies se reelings in Lyndelee se bekwame hande gelos en was nie 'n enkele keer spyt nie. Sy het ons elke keer met fantasitiese pakette gehelp en uit haar pad gegaan om die beste vir ons te bied.
Sy is uitstekend met die reel van enige vakansie, ons vakansies het gewissel van 'n eiland-vakansie, river raft by die Victoria Falls tot 'n ski-vakansie.
Well done, Lynde!

Russia has always been on the top of my bucket list. I have explored many ways to travel and to see Russia, considering the difficulties that I would be faced with, the language, culture and behaviour, and then adding the challenge of travelling with a wheelchair. I decided to turn the word “challenge” into “opportunity” and then the planning got exciting and I created wonderful relationships wi

Falling in Love with Manchester

So they say that, Manchester is not a hot travel and tourism spot. They say it is supposed to be a business hub where you go to attend meetings and to meet colleagues and snap a quick pic of Manchester United stadium.

Mauritius, the Beachcomber way

Having been to Mauritius a couple of times, and after only ever seeing one Beachcomber Hotel, I was very excited to get this opportunity to see what Beachcomber had to offer. I have always considered Mauritius to be a Honeymoon beach island, and I was looking forward to seeing what was on offer. I got a chance to see all of their properties, Shandrani, Paradis, Dinarobin, Le Mauricia, Royal Pa

Kalkan and other Turkish delights

Ready, Steady, ACTION! Dubai, get up and go!

Ready – time to fly: When heading off to Dubai, the best choice of airline is definitely Emirates Airlines. It is spectacular in every way; the inflight entertainment is one of the best that I have experienced. It offers non-stop movies, series, music and games – all on demand and you can watch it as you wish. It made me wish that my flight was longer. When it comes to airline seats, I am a l

Having direct flights from Cape Town to Istanbul makes this city even more inviting. Turkish Airlines have new Airbuses operating on the South Africa route, and have an amazing entertainment system.

Often just thought of as a “stopover” on route to Europe, UK, Far East and the Americas – the UAE is way under-estimated. There is far more to be discovered than just the wonder world of Dubai. I enjoy freedom when travelling, so always try to hire a car. I was worried about car hire in the Middle East though, with the driving being on the opposite side of the road, the congestion and possi
