It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome to my holiday travel web page. I trust that after you have read my introduction, you will feel confident to leave your holiday plans, whether for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday or your annual family get-together, in my safe hands.
I am based in the Krugersdorp area, but thanks to the phenomenal backup and support from Travel Counsellors, I can work on any request, anywhere at a time that suits you. I have a family, and understand how precious it is to spend a holiday with them, get away from your daily routine, and enjoy the wonderful sights this world has to offer.
After I graduated in 1993 from the Technicon in Pretoria with a National Diploma in Tourism, I took a gap year in the UK on a working holiday. I returned to South Africa and entered the leisure and corporate travel market. During my career, I have been fortunate to travel extensively through the United Kingdom and Scotland, visit Europe on a Contiki Holiday, the United States on an adventure holiday which included hiking the Grand Canyon, Malaysia, Georgia, Mauritius, Thailand, and a cruise in the Caribbean. I also attended the Global Travel Counsellors conference in Manchester in 2019.
I joined Travel Counsellors in 2013. Travel Counsellors is a global company which is IATA (International Air Transport Association) accredited and a level 4 B-BBEE contributor. Their Financial Protection plan guarantees your holiday payments against supplier failure, and their global buying power allows me to offer you a wide variety of holiday options within your budget.
Serving my customers is my top priority. Because of the exceptional service I offer my clients, they book with me time and time again, and refer me to their family, friends, and business associates. I have frequent travellers that have booked their annual holiday trips with me for years.
I hope you and your family will become one of my frequent customers I can spoil! I would like to make every one of your holidays the best holiday.
For any questions, contact me at any time.
Regards
Marianda

Marianda always makes time for her clients, no matter what time. She has so much patience, it amazes me. She has been our travel agent for years now. Every time we book through her, she has to redo our quotation at least eight times over due to us chopping and changing. She does that without hesitating. Thank you Marianda for always being willing to accommodate the Visagies.

In addition to using Marianda for all our business travel requirements (Primedia Instore) my wife and I have continued to use her throughout our retirement years (7 years). Her services have always been excellent (extremely professional). Trust me, if you are confronted with a travel problem when in a foreign land ( strikes, cancelled flights, insurance difficulties ) she is the best person to have on your side.

From the minute I messaged Marianda, she was on the ball right up until the hour before I flew. I would not only recommend her but will use her again in my next travels. I normally used another travel agent but her service was pathetic, to say the least - compared to what I was offered by Marianda from Travel Counsellors.

Marianda is a consumate professional. She has always managed our personal travel arrangements and all my business travel when I was the CEO of Primedia Instore. Every trip was perfectly executed! If only we could have a similar experience with other suppliers, we then may have a more successful South Africa.
