**********!!! travel with travellers

ALERT:!!!!!!!!! Travelwithtravellers is a ****. I wouldn't encourage anyone to spend their hard earned cash to book for a well deserved holiday with them. They advertise false packages, selling dreams to unsuspecting people,then come the day of delivery, change everything via WhatsApp nogal!! and then switch phones off. There's a lady called Lydia who is running this **** and wish people to never fall for this ****. When asked for a registration number for verification, she (travelwithtravellers/Lydia) explains that she doesn't need to be associated with tourism association to have a travel agency (probably true🤷 after all, I don't have a clue on the DO's and Dont's of running a travel agency) She says she's based in Mpumalanga R531Orpen Gate Hoedspruit.

Our bookings were for a flight from Joburg to WC, and reservations were made and started making payments 3mnths ago. Only two days ago were we notified of travel changes. We were told that flights are expensive and that a shuttle has been organized for us. One of her "CLEVER" reasons she chose to tell us is that MANGO & Kulula airlines are no longer operational which made it difficult for them to secure cheaper flights for us. *As if the two airlines announced this only now* We demand our money back and told that we can get refund there is no refund. Because of the tedious process of back and forth messages, we decided to take the "roadtrip".

Fast forward to the day of travel There's 19 of us and we are sent a 21 seater for a 13hr drive and packed like sardines with our luggage😭😭🤬. So this post is basically to warn unsuspecting people of this .

Save your money and look for other reputable traveling agencies. Also, make sure you check on reviews on Google, even if they may not be recent, but their experiences are true. I know because I am currently in it myself. @nationaltourism @mpumalangatourismandparksagency South Africa tourism Board @tsitsikammatourism @tourismBusinessCouncilofSouthafrica @TsitsikamaTourism Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development and Tourism Department of Tourism
