More Than a Transfer: A More Personal Way to Explore South Africa

SOUTH AFRICA, Pollen Travel has formally announced the launch of its airport transfer, intercity road transport and curated inbound travel-planning services across South Africa. Operating since 20 April 2026, the company provides personalised transport and travel coordination for domestic and international travellers moving between major airports, cities, accommodation establishments and tourism destinations. Its services are supported by experienced professional drivers, direct booking assistance and a customer-focused reservations team based in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. Founded by Keroshin Reddy and Joe Marais, Pollen Travel has reservations teams based in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. The company assists domestic and international travellers with airport transfers, intercity journeys and personalised travel arrangements across South Africa.

The company currently provides transfer services in and around:
Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport
Hoedspruit, Eastgate Airport and surrounding destinations
Gqeberha, formerly Port Elizabeth
Durban and King Shaka International Airport
Cape Town and surrounding destinations

Pollen Travel also helps travellers reach tourism destinations across the country, including Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon, Moditlo Game Reserve, Dullstroom, Boulders Beach, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Alongside its road transfer services, the company offers curated inbound travel planning for visitors who want to experience both established attractions and places that may receive less attention during the usual holiday-planning process. “Pollen Travel is our love letter to South African Hospitality, warm, intentional and crafted with dignity,” said the founders.

Experience Behind Pollen Travel
Although Pollen Travel began operating in April 2026, its team brings more than five years of experience in transport, project management, travel coordination and logistics. The team has worked extensively within the entertainment industry, managing travel, transport and logistics for professionals from South Africa and other parts of the world. Pollen Travel’s professional drivers each have at least 10 years of experience. The company states that its drivers have transported prominent international and local clients and are required to undergo background assessments.
This experience supports the company’s focus on safe, comfortable and well-coordinated journeys.

Personalised Travel and Direct Support
Travellers can contact Pollen Travel through its WhatsApp line to request a transfer or discuss their travel plans directly with the reservations team. As a small and customer-focused business, Pollen Travel works closely with travellers to understand their routes, schedules, destinations and individual requirements. The company was created to build connections between travellers and what its founders describe as the “diamonds” of South Africa’s tourism landscape: places that many travellers may not yet have explored or considered when planning a holiday. Pollen Travel aims to ensure that customers feel safe, considered and supported, with attention given to their comfort and travel requirements. “Travel should feel effortless, personal, and deeply human. Pollen Travel exists to make that possible,” said the Pollen Travel team.

Connecting Travellers with More of South Africa
Through its combination of intercity transport and curated travel planning, Pollen Travel aims to connect visitors with well-known destinations, safari regions and lesser-explored tourism experiences. The company’s current focus remains on road transfers and inbound travel planning within South Africa, supported by local knowledge, flexible booking and direct communication. “I created Pollen Travel so that every journey feels like a story, crafted with care rooted in Africa, and carried by the wind,” said the founders.
