Where every stay makes a difference
Spekboom is a South African booking site for stays that give back. Travel should give back to the places you visit, so we connect you with conservation efforts, community initiatives, and environmental work across Southern Africa, and every booking helps fund that work. 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.

Il bene sul territorio
Un’intera città, sostenuta
A Prince Albert, e nelle piccole città del Karoo come lei, il Suo soggiorno permette a persone valide di continuare a fare un buon lavoro: la guida, lo chef, l’insegnante, il guardiaparco. È un turismo che la città sente davvero.
Prince Albert · ai piedi dello Swartberg
La città che ci ha insegnato il modello
Una cittadina creativa del Karoo, fatta di olive, fichi e cieli bui. Ogni letto prenotato raggiunge i suoi caffè, i suoi atelier e le sue cucine, e sostiene l’associazione comunitaria, la scuola di formazione e la riserva alle sue porte.
