The Lux Travel Co was born from a belief that travel has the power to enrich life — to bring joy, connection, and perspective. For us, luxury isn’t defined by excess, but by essence: the feeling of being understood, cared for, and seamlessly carried through the world.
For founder Rizia Kimmie, this philosophy was shaped over two decades in the industry, including fourteen years at Flight Centre South Africa and six years running her own consultancy. Those years honed not just her skill in precision planning and seamless logistics, but her instinct for listening deeply, anticipating needs before they’re voiced, and transforming travel into something far more personal.
From milestone family journeys to once-in-a-lifetime adventures, TLTC was created for discerning South Africans who want more than a holiday — they want a story worth telling. Every journey we design is built on expertise, infused with intention, and crafted with care so that when you travel, it feels effortless, extraordinary, and entirely your own.
At The Lux Travel Co, we believe travel is never just a trip. It’s the spark of a story waiting to be written — one that inspires, connects, and elevates. Our purpose is to transform every journey into something deeply personal: seamless in execution, rich in meaning, and unforgettable in memory.
Curiosity
We go beyond the expected, uncovering hidden wonders and new perspectives.
Care
Luxury is in the details — being seen, understood, and effortlessly cared for.
Connection
Travel is most powerful when it brings you closer — to the world, to others, and to yourself.
Craftsmanship
Every journey is crafted, not copied — shaped with precision, creativity, and integrity.
Consciousness
To travel well is to travel mindfully — nurturing wellness, respecting culture, and leaving a positive mark.
Two decades in global travel means your journey is backed by knowledge, precision, and a steady hand — from first inspiration to final landing.
Your dedicated advisor gets to know your portfolio, preferences, and milestones. Seasonal inspirations spark ideas, but every itinerary is refined around you alone.
Through our trusted network of airlines, hotels, and local partners, we unlock doors few can open — while tailoring every detail to the needs of South African travellers.
From premium cabin insights and visa guidance to chauffeur transfers and concierge touches, we anticipate your needs before you voice them.
Luxury isn’t just where you go, it’s how you travel. We design with intention — creating stories that connect you to the world, and leave a lasting positive mark.
Flights and hotels may be easy to click and confirm, but what you won’t find online is the assurance that every moment will work in perfect harmony — that your connections align, your visas are handled, your transfers flow seamlessly, and that the fare you’ve secured is smarter than the one flashing on a booking site. At The Lux Travel Co, we combine two decades of expertise with trusted global partnerships to unlock value that isn’t visible to the public, from premium cabins at better rates to journeys where every rand works harder. For South Africans navigating long-haul routes and complex choices, we turn travel from a transaction into something intentional, effortless, and deeply rewarding — a story worth telling long after you return.
We take the time you don’t have to design a journey that ticks every box — whether it’s discovering a destination from a new angle, indulging in pure luxury, or creating space to reconnect. When you return home, you feel refreshed, revitalised, and certain you made the most of every moment.
Search engines show you what’s popular. We reveal what’s personal. From hidden coves in the Cyclades to private tastings in Tuscany, our advisors uncover experiences that go beyond the obvious, shaping journeys that feel original and entirely your own.
Luxury isn’t about overspending, it’s about investing wisely. With insider knowledge of premium cabins, seasonal pricing, and global partners, we unlock value you can’t find online — from upgrades and inclusions to smarter routes that save you time and money.
True luxury is freedom from worry. With a dedicated advisor anticipating your needs — from family travel forms to last-minute changes — you’ll never face the “what ifs” alone. Wherever you are in the world, we’re one step ahead, so you can travel with ease.
Behind every effortless journey is meticulous design. From kerbside transfers to complex multi-stop itineraries, no detail is left unchecked. Every connection, every confirmation, every moment flows together flawlessly — leaving you free to be fully present.
At The Lux Travel Co, we transform travel from something you book into something you feel — intentional, effortless, and deeply personal.
