Miranda Nhlapho, Tour Consultant, and Megan Phelan, Team Manager & Contracting Manager, recently enjoyed a week-long educational trip to the Garden Route. Miranda had who won a prize in one of our supplier trainings with Southern Spoor at the office, which included a 2-night stay at Knysna Log Inn.

They decided to make the most of the opportunity by organising a visit to Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, and Tsitsikamma. It was Mirandaโ€™s first time flying, and she was excited to experience everything the trip had to offer.
