It's Nice To Meet You

Thank you for visiting my webpage!

The face of travel is changing and with so many options available, the personal service levels are compromised. As a Travel Counsellor, I offer excellent service coupled with the convenience of a mobile office. I can visit you at your office or home bringing exciting travel destinations and choices direct to you. Having been in the retail industry for over 30 years, I have extensive experience in both the leisure and corporate areas.

Thanks to the exciting industry I am a part of, I have had the great fortune of visiting countries such as, Argentina, China, USA, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland, Mauritius, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Cyprus, France, Malta, Italy, Thailand, Singapore, Antigua, India & Russia, to name just a few.

Personal service is at the very heart of my business. I will always do my utmost to find the solution that exactly matches your company’s or your personal travel requirements and cost parameters.

Thank you for always giving outstanding service!

I booked my mother’s trip to Australia as a surprise. Michelle handled the whole process from organising visa, bookings, payments and great communication along with constant updates on progress. Michelle has been an absolute pleasure to deal with when trust and great service is not so common these days. A big thank you Michelle

Michelle has been very efficient in her service. My wife and I are planning an anniversary trip to Europe and we had specific requirements as to how our trip should be planned. I had already contacted a number of other travel agencies but for some reason, they could only propose 'package type ‘deals. Michelle LISTENED to what we wanted and structured a package to suit our needs. We recommend her Services!

Michelle went out of her way to find us the best deal for our holiday away to Thailand. We received a list of things we could do while in Thailand that was very helpful. She was professional and followed up with us every step of the way to make sure we were ready and set to jet off. We will definitely use you in the future. Nothing was too much!

My husband and I just spent 4 days in Botswana at Chobe Marina Lodge recommended by Michelle. What a wonderful experience. The entire trip went without a hitch, we did incredible game viewing, excellent photography and had an opportunity to recharge our batteries. Many thanks Michelle

Michelle's service is excellent and on short notice she arranged a great holiday for us to the Vic falls. Everything ran smoothly from the time we left until we were back. I am sure we will use her again.

We have received excellent service from Michelle. We have booked a Paris trip and flights through her, and she has been so helpful with all my emails and questions about the apartments that we wanted to have booked etc. We will definitely be using her in the future and will recommend her to anybody needing help organising a trip.

Michelle Daneel gave us excellent, honest and rewarding service and a superb holiday, Thanks!

Sent by Sheila & Graham Alban

Michelle was fantastic; in all the pre-holiday correspondence between us she became more of a friend than just someone arranging a holiday itinerary. She personally made sure everything went smoothly & added a few personal touches of her own too, as well making the time to meet us at the airport to say Hi! It was a special trip for us and Michelle's efforts made it even more so! Well done Michelle!

Sent by Jason Rose

I always enjoy working with Michelle. She is very helpful, suggestive and quick with any issues. Keep up the great work!

Long Beach Resort & Spa - Mauritius - One Of A Kind

31 May 2012

At our annual Travel Counsellors conference, held in Mauritius from the 17th to the 20th of May 2012, I had the great pleasure of being able to visit the spectacular resort, Long Beach. Long Beach is the most contemporary resort in Mauritius. Truly, one of a kind. It opened its doors in April 2011 and boasts the longest and widest stretch of white-sand coastline of any Mauritian resort. Lo

Incredible India

20 April 2011

22 November: Our first day in Mumbai was spent exploring Mani Bhavan, the house where Mahatma Gandhi used to stay during his visits to Bombay, which is now a museum, Kamla Nehru Park and Hanging Gardens situated on the slope of Malabar Hill, offering a panoramic view of Marine Drive and Chowpatty Beach. Bombay or Mumbai, is the capital of Maharashtra and the economic powerhouse of India. A crazy,

The Spice Island of Zanzibar

03 April 2009

28 Mar: Early departure on 1Time Airlines to the Spice Island of Zanzibar! I was very impressed with the service onboard 1Time Airlines. Very friendly cabin crew. You are able to prepay for your meal prior to departure at a cost of approx. R75, 00. Flying time from Johannesburg is just over 3 hours. On arrival at the airport, we were 'greeted' with a wall of humidity, locals performing a dan

MSC Cruise - The Melody

16 March 2009

Our cruise experience began on the 2nd of March 2009. Check in took place in a very large 'shed' at Durban port. Everyone was 'colour-coded' to ensure ease of operation for embarkation, requesting a dinner sitting & paying approx. US$250.00 as a deposit for the cruise 'cash' card. I found this 'system' rather time consuming as most cruise companies offer you the choice of a dinner sitting up

Magical Mauritius

30 September 2008

Having visited Mauritius many times before, I never tire of this magical island. It is always an enriching experience, bringing you in contact with its cultures, religions and cuisine of their multi-racial and colourful population. My visit began at the Le Meridien Hotel, situated on the North-West side of the island - approx. 60kms from the airport (between Port Louis and Grand Baie), where I

Enchanting China - Yunnan Province

12 August 2008

China is like no other country on earth. The ancient culture and landscape is unique & home to some of the most awe-inspiring sights imaginable! 28 Nov 07: My journey of a lifetime began, where I boarded Cathay Pacific Airways for Kunming via Hong Kong with six other travel agents.
