In a world that’s constantly moving, travel is more than just a destination — it’s a story waiting to be told. And at the heart of that narrative stands SabiPax Travel, a proudly South African travel agency known for delivering seamless service and custom travel experiences. SabiPax Travel has earned its place as a trusted name in South African tourism, therefore as the proud travel sponsor of KMBA, they’re celebrating the professionals who turn every journey into a masterpiece.
As the official sponsor of the Travel Agency of The Year award at the Known Media & Business Awards (KMBA) 2025, SabiPax Travel is reaffirming its commitment to celebrating those who make travel magical — not only for individuals, but for communities and industries at large.
“Travel is freedom. It’s education. It’s healing,” says ADV. Sisanda Qwabe-Nisbet, Founder and CEO at SabiPax Travel. “At SabiPax, we pride ourselves on crafting journeys that go beyond tickets and bookings — we create legacies. Each trip leaves a mark on our travelers and on the destinations we connect them with.”
With roots deeply planted in Richardsbay and clients spanning across the country, SabiPax Travel has grown from a small consultancy into one of South Africa’s most trusted names in both leisure and corporate travel. From exclusive getaways in the Drakensberg to tailored business trips across Africa, the agency has earned a reputation for reliability, luxury, and heart.
“We understand our clients worries, dreams, and priorities,” Sisanda explains. “Whether it’s a family vacation, a honeymoon, or a big corporate retreat, we make sure every detail is seamless.”
Their decision to sponsor KMBA’s travel category reflects SabiPax’s larger vision: to champion South African excellence and spotlight the professionals behind the scenes who make travel unforgettable.
“The travel industry took a huge hit during the pandemic, and yet we’ve seen incredible resilience and innovation from local agencies and operators,” Sisanda notes. “We wanted to celebrate that spirit — the people who kept going, adapted, and helped South Africans fall in love with travel all over again.”
For SabiPax, the partnership with KMBA is also about aligning with a platform that mirrors its own values of recognition, empowerment, and growth.
“KMBA is about honoring game-changers in business and media, and we see ourselves as game-changers in travel,” says Sisanda with a smile. “It was a perfect match.”
Beyond their standard offerings, SabiPax Travel has also become known for their concierge-style services, offering travel insurance through First For Women Insure and even custom-curated itineraries for VIP clients. Their 24/7 support system ensures travelers always feel taken care of — whether they’re on safari in Limpopo or attending a conference in Kigali.
As they look ahead, SabiPax plans to expand its footprint across Southern Africa and develop exclusive packages that combine luxury with authentic cultural experiences.
“Our goal is to not just send people places, but to connect them with Africa’s heart and soul,” Sisanda emphasizes. “We want people to return home richer — emotionally, spiritually, and culturally.”
As the KMBA 2025 awards season unfolds, SabiPax Travel’s sponsorship stands as a proud testament to the brand’s belief in collaboration, celebration, and transformation.
“We invite other brands to join us,” Sisanda says. “Let’s invest in platforms that uplift our industries and the people who make them thrive. KMBA is more than an event — it’s a movement.”
From boardrooms to beaches, from gala nights to game drives, SabiPax Travel continues to craft journeys that aren’t just remembered — they’re treasured.
