The Vandayar Family

History of the company:

Jorvan Tours was registered as a business in March 2005. The company name is derived from the joy and sunshine we receive from our beautiful daughter, Jordan. We used the first three letters of her name and the first three letters of our surname, Vandayar. Our slogan, "Passionate about Cape Town" firmly expresses how we feel about our beautiful, historically rich city.

Background of the owners:

We are a husband and wife team and have both lived in Cape Town since childhood. I have been in the customer service industry for 16 years and Melanie has been a secondary school educator for 17 years. Both of us have furthered our studies – I have completed a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Psychology, including communications and social sciences; Melanie has obtained a diploma in Events Management. Collectively we have the necessary skills, expertise, determination, motivation and creativity to operate the business. Ethics and professionalism are criteria that play a major role in the operation of our company. We love interacting with people, locals and visitors as this allows us the opportunity to “show off” the beautiful and colourful city of Cape Town.

In 2008 we extended our family when we informally adopted Nalilitha who has since become an integral part of our family. Both our girls have learnt the importance of extending a helping hand to those less fortunate by playing an integral role in the social responsibility programme that we have established in 2006. In 2010 Jorvan Community Outreach was officially registered and to date we support a total of 13 projects.
