A group of lucky travel advisors is getting ready to pack their bags for South Africa after Envoyage unveiled the Aussie agents who earned a spot on its global reward event, Icons.
The high-performing members of Flight Centre Travel Group’s independent network will embark on a curated reward trip designed to showcase the best of the destination. The Icons’ South African adventure kicks off in Johannesburg before continuing to Pilanesberg National Park, where they’ll spend two nights at Bakubung Lodge. The finale will be a stay at the Palace of the Lost City in Sun City.
The itinerary includes morning and evening game drives, dinners under the stars and cocktail events with Envoyage leaders and partners.
The group says Icons is both recognition of excellence and a chance to strengthen connections across the network.
“Recognition is powerful. Every milestone celebrated builds momentum and reinforces the strength of our Envoyage community,” Flight Centre Travel Group Global Managing Director Luxury and Independent brands Danielle Galloway said.
“Icons is one of the ways we embody the core values of our global brand. At this sensational event, we reward and celebrate entrepreneurialism, lean into engagement by creating unique experiences and opportunities for connection, and encourage endurance through a membership community where success is visible, shared, and used to inspire the next move forward.”
The program, which unites the Australian Icons with advisors from the Envoyage network in the US, South Africa, New Zealand and Canada, precedes Envoyage’s global conference, Worldwide, at Sun City in September 2025. Around 400 Envoyage members are expected to attend the event this month.
