So thought I’ll update this post as its now been exactly 1 year since I joined Travel Counsellors in South Africa after working in Dubai as a Travel Counsellors for 4 years. It's been an amazing year, learning so much about the SA travel market and meeting great new customers, locally and abroad. I love the TC brand as it truly is international as it allows me to serve my customers whether they are in South Africa or abroad with the same dedication and expertise from anywhere.
I still miss Dubai as living there for 7.5 years enriched our lives so much and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I worked as a Business Analyst for many years in a different industry to travel. I have travelled extensively during this period. Starting a travel business gives me the opportunity to share my passion for travel with my customers. I have travelled to various destinations including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Morocco, Australia, Jordan, Namibia, UAE and of course many destinations within South Africa.
Travel Counsellors is an award winning global tour operator with state of the art booking systems and processes providing me with the tools to ensure every booking is done professionally and tailor-made to my customers needs. The Travel Counsellor brand provides me with great benefits, for instance every booking made with me is financially protected by our financial protection plan. Another great benefit is our 24 hour duty office that monitors all events around the world, this keeps me informed and I will ensure that you are informed of any 'events' and 'challenges' that may impact your holiday.

Yes, she did it again.
We had an outstanding experience working with Pam Segers for our trip to Thailand.
From the initial planning stages to the end of the journey, Pam was incredibly helpful, organized, and attentive to every detail to suit our needs.
She crafted a fantastic itinerary that included Bangkok, Patong, Phuket, James Bond island and Panyee Muslim island. Each destination was unique and made the trip truly unforgettable. Every aspect of the travel arrangements, from flights and transfers to accommodations and excursions, was handled seamlessly.
Pam's recommendations were spot on especially when it came to local experiences and food. Thanks to her guidance, we got to enjoy amazing street food, meet incredibly friendly locals, and even take unforgettable photos with elephants.
Her communication was excellent throughout, always quick to respond and ready with solutions or suggestions. We felt completely supported the entire time.
I would highly recommend Pam Segers to anyone planning a trip. She made our adventure stress free and full of memories we will cherish forever.
I am definitely looking forward to future travels.
Once again THANK YOU.

Just by sharing the wonderful travel booking experience with family and friends, I have already been asked by family and friends for your contact details. As I mentioned to you that I contacted 3 different travel agencies and you came out tops. The others must still learn about customer service which I am very fond about. You made a world of difference in how you handled my enquiry and fulfilling on what was important to me and my husband.

Pam is extremely professional. She is almost always available on weekends and outside of office hours. She always checks to see that I am ok and that I have managed to check in without any hassles. Pam is very knowledgeable on all the Covid travel regulations. If I choose to stay at a hotel that I've never stayed at before and if she thinks I am making a mistake, she will let me know. I love booking with her because I can travel with peace of mind in these troubling times. Thank you, Pam.

Wow, where do I begin?
It is not everyday you get a travel agent that treats you like family.
This happens when it is not just a job, but it becomes your passion.
If ever you are in need of assistance with booking a holiday, I will gladly give you a referral.
Pam, I want to thank you. We had an absolutely fantastic time in Thailand. I can attest without hesitation, the primary reason we had such a great time, was due to you and the care and attention you put into planning our trip. Staying in touch throughout with Confirmations of bookings, and transfers, made us feel special.

The package Pam arranged for us to Bali and Dubai was excellent, the trip was well organised with enough time to explore.
We loved Bali and the people were humble, warm and gracious. The guided tours were very insightful and the guide very knowledgeable , with safe drivers.
In Dubai we learnt that bigger is definitely better. Action packed. Living in the fast lane with amazing excursions.
Thank you Pam, the trip was truly memorable and we will cherish the wonderful memories.
You are the best. Will definitely make use of your company again.

My top tips for traveling to Bali, the Island of the Gods!!
Money:
Travelling with a Credit Card or Forex card is probably the best option as you can pay at most shops, restaurants, and attractions in Bali.
You will need cash to pay drivers if you arrange a day trip with a local driver.
There are lots of ATM’s all over the island so very easy to withdraw cash when you are in Bali.

I LOVE Bali!!
The first time we travelled to Bali was 26 years ago and have been a few times since so we decided to return to Bali on our first “post Covid” holiday. What a privilege and as always, an amazing experience!! Bali changed so much since our first trip, more traffic, more hotels, more people, but no less AMAZING.
Over the years we stayed in different parts of the Island and this trip
