Plan my trip
Your whole trip, planned for you by someone who’s done it many times.
You know where you’d love to go. I’ll work out how: the flights, the places to stay, the transfers and every visa step, with dates. You get one plan with every booking link in order, and you book and pay the airlines and hotels yourself, so your money never sits with a middleman.
Plans start at R1,500 a trip, not per person. The form shows your exact fee before you send it, and nothing is charged until you choose to pay. See all prices
How it works
- Tell me the trip. Fill in the form below: where, when, who’s coming, your budget and what you enjoy. It takes about five minutes, and your fee shows on the form as you fill it in.
- You pay the fee. Once you send the form you can pay straight away with a secure online checkout, or later from my email. Big trips and groups get an exact quote by email first. Within 2 working days I’ll email you to confirm what your plan will cover and the same fee, with a secure payment link. Nothing is charged before you choose to pay.
- Your plan arrives within 10 working days of payment.
- You book. Every link is in order. One round of changes is included, and I’m on email for questions while you book.
I take a few plans at a time, so each one gets my full attention. When I’m fully booked, the checkout shows plans as sold out. Your trip details are already saved, so you’re on my waiting list, and I’ll email you in order as soon as a spot opens. When I’m fully booked, I’ll tell you when I can start and keep you on my waiting list. Nothing is charged until you have a spot.
Everything happens by email, so you have it all in writing. There are no calls to book.
What’s in your plan
- Two or three flight options from your city, with times, stops and what baggage is included
- Three places to stay for each stop, at the star level you choose (3 stars and up), picked for what matters most to you in recent guest reviews
- Airport transfers and how to get around
- A day-by-day outline you can follow or ignore
- Your visa steps, with the dates to apply, and what to book only once the visa is approved
- A budget in rand, including visa fees, insurance and spending money
- Every booking link, in the order to book them
- One round of changes once you’ve read it
What it costs
| Short tripUp to 7 nights in one place | Price on request |
|---|---|
| Classic holidayUp to 14 nights, in up to two places | Price on request |
| Big tripLonger trips, or three places or more | Price on request |
Prices are per trip, not per person, for up to 4 travellers; for a bigger group I’ll quote by email. For a big trip I confirm the exact price before you pay. You pay for the plan, not the trip: flights, hotels and transfers are paid to them directly, at their prices. Some booking links may earn me a small commission at no extra cost to you; I recommend what suits your trip either way.
What I don’t do
- Book or pay for anything on your behalf, or hold your money
- Give visa advice on your case, check your documents, fill in forms, book appointments or submit applications. Applying is your own process, and only the embassy decides
- Take responsibility for a visa refusal or delay, or refund the plan because of one
- Hold prices: they can change until you book
The full details are in our terms and refund policy. In short: changed your mind? You get a full refund within 24 hours of paying, or any time before I start. Once I’ve started, the fee isn’t refundable, but one round of changes is included. A late plan is refunded in full; a visa refusal isn’t a reason for a refund.

Questions
Can you plan a trip that needs a Schengen, UK or US visa?
Yes. Your plan includes the visa steps and dates, and only refundable bookings until your visa is approved. Applying is your own process: I don’t give advice on your case, check documents or submit applications, and the embassy alone decides. The free guides and visa kits list everything to put together.
How do you choose the hotels?
For each stop you get three options at the star level you chose, picked on what matters most to you in recent guest reviews, such as location or cleanliness. You choose one and book it yourself.
Why don’t you book it for me?
So your money goes straight to the airline and hotel, on their terms, with their protection. You also keep full control of every booking.
Can I change the plan?
One round of changes is included: send me everything you’d like changed in one email, and I’ll send the updated plan. Bigger changes, like a new destination, are a new plan.
Can we talk on the phone?
Everything is by email, so you have every detail in writing and can reply when it suits you. I answer within 2 working days.
What if prices change before I book?
They can, because airlines and hotels change prices all the time. Book soon after your plan arrives, and tell me if something has gone up a lot: I’ll suggest an alternative.
