Hey friends,
It’s Candice here — founder of Octatravel — and I just wanted to take a moment to catch you up on what we’ve been up to during May and June. Honestly, it’s been a whirlwind of work, travel, connections, and (of course) amazing deals!
I always say travel is more than just a holiday — it’s about creating moments that matter. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing lately, for our clients and ourselves.
Soon I will be preparing to board a very special flight… I’m heading to Denmark with my first ever school team! 🇩🇰⚽
This is more than just a trip — it’s a dream coming to life. I’ve always believed in the power of travel to open doors and create life-changing opportunities, and now I get to witness it firsthand through the eyes of the youth we’re supporting.
We’ll be representing South Africa at the Dana Cup 2025 tour, and I couldn’t be prouder to walk this journey with the team. This is the kind of work that truly makes my heart full. 💙
🌟 What’s Been Hot at Octatravel?
These past two months, we focused on bringing value, finding the best rates, and giving you more than just a booking — we’re here for the full experience!
🌺 Mauritius
One of my favorite destinations — we booked so many couples and families into this dreamy island paradise. All-inclusive, beachfront resorts, and even some epic golf trips. If you haven’t been, it’s a must.
🌊 Zanzibar
This one was on fire in June! We had honeymooners, friend groups, and even solo travelers heading off to soak up that Zanzi magic. The energy, food, and sunsets? Unreal.
🏝️ Seychelles
For those who wanted something ultra-luxe, Seychelles came through. I loved curating those packages – villas with private pools, ocean views, and champagne on arrival. Yes, please!
🚢 MSC Cruises – Now on Our Website!
This is something I’ve been excited to share — we’ve added cruise and sailing options online! So, if you’re dreaming of waking up in a new port every day, start browsing our updated MSC calendar. There’s something for families, couples, and even solo explorers.
💼 Corporate Travel? Still Our Thing.
Between the conferences and the corporate bookings, we’ve been helping business travelers move smoother and smarter. From flights to full team travel planning — we’re getting it done. And yes, I even squeezed in a few site visits while on the road and even went to watch the Springbok Rugby Game at Cape Town Stadium with Hotek Sky. 😎
💬 From Me to You
To all our new followers, loyal clients, and travel lovers — thank you. Every booking, every message, every referral means the world to me and my team.
If you haven’t booked your winter break yet — there’s still time! Whether it’s sun, safari, sea, or city, let me help you find your perfect escape. And if you’re not sure where to go? Send me a message — I’ll happily suggest something magical.
