Welcome to Magna Thomson International Movers! Specialising in international and national relocations, as well as storage solutions.

We're here with you every step of the way. At Magna-Thomson International Movers we ease the difficulties and stress of an international move. While you may only move internationally once or twice in your life, this is our core business: we will guide and advise you throughout the total migration experience, not just the moving component. Magna International Movers was established in 1990 by Dave Buchanan and John Giles, and Thomson International Movers was established in 1987 by Robin and Trevor Thomson. With decades’ experience in the removals service industry, both companies were established exclusively in domestic and overseas moving, storage and fine art packing. In 2008 they combined their many years of expertise and knowledge, merging to form Magna-Thomson International Movers (Pty) Ltd. Today Magna-Thomson in South Africa has offices based in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town and a sales office in Pietermaritzburg. We can collect and pack from anywhere in South Africa and have shipped many hundreds of families’ household goods all over the world.

There’s a lot of care that goes into sending something special overseas. 📦🌍

As part of Motswari Private Game Reserve 50th birthday celebrations, these coffee table books were created to share the lodge’s story and its love for the African bush beyond South Africa.

Now destined for London, each book is carefully wrapped and prepared by our team before beginning its international journey.

It may look like a simple step, but careful preparation and secure packing are an important part of transporting valued items safely across borders.

At Magna Thomson, we don’t just move household belongings. We handle international relocations, specialised consignments and all kinds of items that need to travel safely from one country to another.

And this particular consignment has a story worth travelling for. ❤️
