Club Travel was established in July 1987 by Wally Gaynor. Wally's philosophy was to always give the client the best deal and this philosophy is still the driving force behind Club Travel today. The company has grown from a single branch to 3 fully owned leisure branches, 6 Corporate offices, 46 Franchises of which 14 are branded and 32 non-branded, as well as 99 Independent consultants.

Club Travel has negotiated fares with the world's leading airlines and has also negotiated preferential rates with other suppliers such as hotels, car hire companies, tour operators etc. These agreements ensure that the company remains true to Wally's philosophy of giving the client the best deal. We also use sophisticated leading edge database search engines to ensure that we provide our clients with the best possible fare for their travel requirements. With this in mind, we are proud to have been awarded the prestigious Golden Arrow Award for the Most Professional Travel Agency in the Western Cape, as well as the A.S.A.T.A./Diners Club award for Most Professional Travel Agency in South Africa.
