Legend Tours 'Covid-19' Update: A Word from the MD
The first half of this year has been a whirlwind with the entire travel industry being turned on its head, and our community with it.
There is much fear in the world today regarding the current state of affairs. We must be careful to not let our fears consume us, but to rather instill hope for our future to come and to look forward to the bright sunny days that will surely follow after this storm has subsided.
With the current regulations under lockdown Level 3, airlines in South Africa have been given the green light for a phased return to the skies.
On 30 May, Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, outlined the COVID- 19 level 3 lockdown transport measures which will include that limited domestic air travel for business purposes will be allowed, subject to restrictions on the number of flights per day and authorization based on the reason for travel. The resumption of domestic flights will be rolled out in three phases.
Legend Tours is implementing its own health and safety protocols to safeguard guests and employees. Our response is informed by the latest advice from WHO and Local Government, and will be continually updated and improved as new information comes to light and best practices are refined and shared across the industry.
Although the pandemic isn't over yet and our office is not open, certain staff are working remotely from home. Should you require any local or domestic travel assistance being it air tickets, accommodation or airport transfers for work related purposes please do not hesitate to contact Legend Tours via email or telephone.
Going forward should you have any domestic or international travel plans for the future and require assistance in drafting your itinerary or just information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
As the world is slowly opening up and more
countries are relaxing their travel restrictions, Legend Tours certainly looks
forward to once again creating packages according to WHO's standards.

Legend Tours is a South African, tour operator based in Cape Town that delivers world-class service to the highest standards in South Africa and abroad. Between 1994 and 2014 – Faiz has laid a solid foundation for the company. The company has responded to the changing South African and global tourism landscapes through innovation, with insight, whilst remaining at the cutting edge of market research and product development, but always prioritising excellent service Faiz was elected Vice-Chairperson (2001) and then Chairperson (2002) of SATSA Western Cape. In 2003, he was elected to the National Executive of SATSA and was National Vice-President of SATSA in 2004-2005. Other positions he has held include:
Faiz feels passionately about meeting the aspirations, expectations and needs of previously disenfranchised entrepreneurs in Africa. An outspoken advocate for emerging entrepreneurs, he campaigned to get government to provide financial support for emerging SMMEs and became one of the first TEP (Tourism Enterprise Programme) clients in 2000. He provided strategic input into the Tourism Business Forum committees and was instrumental in SATSA launching the Cape Tourism Showcase and the Tourism Mentorship Programme. Diversifying into Africa: By 2000, Faiz realised that the next growth opportunity lay in tapping into the African market and started an Inbound Division of Legend Tours. In 2001, assisted by SA Tourism, he made his first trip to Nairobi where he met with SAA representatives. It was the start of a close working relationship with SAA and the beginning of a journey of learning how to do business in Africa. Over the next decade, Legend Tours learned that there is no such thing as a homogeneous African way of doing business. Each country (and region) is different. Today, Legend Tours operates in the SADC countries and in East and West Africa and has built up a network of reliable and reputable suppliers.
Legend Tours has also identified the Middle East as another non-traditional, untapped market. As a Muslim, and having travelled to Saudi Arabia with his family on a spiritual pilgrimage, Faiz understands the nature of travellers from the Middle East. More importantly, the potential of these markets lies in the fact that these tourists travel during South Africa’s low season, which would help even out the income stream by boosting the winter troughs.
“Service Excellence – African Style”. This sums up Legend Tours’ commitment to customer service excellence. All staff members have just one priority: for their customers to have a hassle-free and enjoyable trip.
Legend Tours also knows that service excellence is possible only when the clients’ needs are understood.
“We are really happy with your service that is the reason we always use you.”
