Where every stay makes a difference
Spekboom finds you stays that give back, across South Africa and beyond. Part of every booking funds the conservation and community work around the place you sleep.
We are not Spekboom Tours, and not the SANParks Spekboom Tented Rest Camp.
Behind the name
Why Spekboom?
Named after the spekboom, the plant that restores the Eastern Cape thicket. SANBI records that restored spekboom thicket can store carbon at rates comparable to a deciduous forest, and that it brings degraded, overgrazed land back to life. Just as the plant regenerates landscapes, we turn travel into funding for the places you visit. Every booking contributes to projects that repair ecosystems, protect wildlife, and uplift communities across Africa.

Every booking contributes to these areas of impact
The places
Reserves, farms, camps and lodges chosen for where they are and what they do for it. No listing is here only because it asked to be.
The causes
Conservation, community and wildlife work we have met in person. Each stay is tied to one, and part of every booking reaches it.
The people who host
Owners and rangers who chose a cause before they chose a booking site. They set their own rates and answer their own enquiries.
Die verskil ter plaatse
’n Hele dorp wat floreer
In Prince Albert, en ander klein Karoodorpe, help jou verblyf goeie mense om hul werk te doen: die gids, die sjef, die onderwyser, die natuurbewaarder. Dié soort toerisme voel die dorp regtig.
Prince Albert · onder die Swartberg
Die dorp wat ons die model geleer het
’n Kreatiewe Karoodorp van olywe, vye en donker naghemele. Elke bed wat bespreek word, bring geld na sy kafees, ateljees en kombuise, en ondersteun die gemeenskapstrust, die vaardigheidsskool en die reservaat op sy drumpel.
