Thank you for visiting, I can’t wait to help you plan something extraordinary
Welcome, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
Holidays are some of life’s best chapters, and my job is to make sure every one of yours feels unforgettable. Whether you are dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime escape or planning your much-loved annual family getaway, you can relax knowing your plans are in capable, caring hands.
I am based in the Krugersdorp area, but thanks to the incredible support behind me I can look after trips from anywhere, to anywhere, at a time that suits you. As a wife and mum, I know exactly how precious it is to hit pause on everyday life, explore somewhere beautiful together, and come home with stories you will tell for years.
Travel has been part of my life since I graduated in 1993 with a National Diploma in Tourism from Technikon Pretoria. A working-holiday gap year in the UK sparked a love for exploring, and since then I have been lucky enough to:
Wander through England and Scotland
Explore Europe on a Contiki tour
Go on an adventure holiday in the USA and hike the Grand Canyon
Discover Malaysia and Georgia
Visit Mauritius many times on educational trips
Experience Thailand, including the award-winning Elephant Hills in Khao Sok National Park
Cruise the Caribbean on Allure of the Seas
Ski Holiday in Livigno Italy with my family
Celebrate my birthday in Bali with my husband and friends
Attend global Travel Counsellors conferences in Manchester in 2019 and Liverpool in 2025
I joined Travel Counsellors in 2013. As a global, IATA-accredited company and a level 4 B-BBEE contributor, they provide outstanding financial protection for your holiday payments and give me access to a huge range of trusted travel partners and holiday options to suit your budget.
Looking after my customers is at the heart of everything I do. Many of my clients have been with me for years, returning for their annual holidays and recommending me to their family, friends and colleagues. I love getting to know you, remembering the little details, and surprising you with those extra touches that make a trip feel truly special.
I would be delighted for you and your family to become some of my “frequent flyers” that I can spoil with wonderful holidays, year after year. My goal is simple: every holiday should feel like your best one yet.
Whenever you are ready to start planning, I am just a message or a call away.
Warm regards
Marianda

It’s no secret that getting away from it all, even for a few days, can do wonders for our mental health.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
