Ilanga Travel has been in operation since 15 October 1989 – an auspicious date for many, including Nelson Mandela, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on this day. For Ilanga this date set off the journey as a Destination Management Company which has grown from strength to strength, without losing focus of its roots and core beliefs in business and relationship.
Ilanga Travel is an Elite Southern African Destination Management company, specializing in the FIT, Group and Incentive markets. Defined by solid and long-standing relationships (both with suppliers in Southern Africa, and with tour operators both locally and internationally) Ilanga Travel provides a personal and committed service. For this highly qualified and experienced team, sheer passion is the motivation for what they do, and the countries that they do it in.

Company description

Margit Pilz started Ilanga Travel in South Africa after spending many years in Germany in the outbound tourism industry. Having been introduced to this beautiful country during one of the first and ground-breaking educationals to South Africa (in those days organized by a small group of very passionate and determined staff members of South African Airways in Germany, under extreme secrecy to avoid demonstrations of anti-apartheid groups) Margit fell madly in love with this “world in one country”.
Many regular visits where to follow her inaugural visit, which she, as a firm anti-apartheid supporter, vehemently resisted. Those very special SAA persons must have possessed great powers of conviction, and for once managed to persuade a usually very own minded Margit to put aside for one trip only her political views and ideologies and so the seed of what many years later was to become the beginnings of Ilanga Travel was born and germinated time and time again through her own visits as well as those of all her clients who followed in her footsteps.
