It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome to the Travel Company that puts you - the customer, first.
I have been in the travel industry for fifteen years and during this time I have accumulated an immeasurable amount of travel knowledge and experience. To help clients realize their ultimate holiday is unbelievably satisfying.
I am blessed to have travelled around the world, and can give you great tips and insight from the beaches of Mauritius, Maldives, Mexico and Thailand to the hustle and bustle of shopping in Bangkok, Dubai, Qatar , Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. 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. The bonus is, that with technology being so great, I can continue to serve my South Africa clients, friends, and family with all your travel needs. I visit South Africa often, so setting up a meeting to have some coffee and a catch up can definitely be arranged.

The hotel is located on the harbour and is about a
