History

The M K BOBBY NAIDOO TRAVEL AGENCY, head quartered in Durban, has an interesting history and for the man who initiated it, it was the realization of a dream that took root during an exciting freelance voluntary campaign as a photo journalist and society photographer.

Bobby Naidoo was a self-made man, who achieved distinction in the realms of travel by garnering international awards and honors regularly from every international carrier that linked South Africa to other far-flung destinations. This was indeed unique because the M K BOBBY NAIDOO TRAVEL AGENCY that he founded, thirty-two years ago, continues to maintain its front ranking as the first choice for thousands of travellers.

Bobby established a pioneering project in group travel as well as programs that afforded ordinary South Africans an opportunity to visit their motherland (India) for the first time in their lives. Thanks to him and his warm human understanding, all of us have the opportunity to see, cherish and retain fond memories of the exciting land of our forbears.

Today, Mano Naidoo, who helped her late husband mould his life and his business in accordance with the best traditions of professionalism, continues the splendid high quality of travel and tours with her extremely courteous and highly disciplined staff. The compassion, understanding and warmth remain a trademark of the Agency.
