Looking for help with your business travel? Find out how I can help here

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

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.

Thelma Visagie

We were very much impressed the attention and excellent service we received from Marianda Maritz. As this is our first international trip, we felt very much insecure, but Marianda could put our minds at ease with her personal knowledge and assistance.

Service was quick and easy, needed changes and it was dome timeously. Very accommodating and most important, and this is the backbone to any business, there was constant communication. Well done and thank you.

Sean Greaves-Walker

Johannesburg

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.

Graham Bouwer

The service was outstanding. It was personalised, friendly, and Marianda went out of her way to assist us. Highly recommended.

Meryl Bouwer

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.

Melody Greaves-Walker

Johannesburg

Marianda always delivers exceptional levels of service. Her communication is top notch and is always available to assist with any query - big or small. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to family friends and colleagues alike. It is always a pleasure when dealing with Marianda from Travel Counsellors!

Stefan Abro

Johannesburg

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.
