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.

Das Gute vor Ort
Ein ganzes Dorf, gestärkt
In Prince Albert, und in kleinen Karoo-Orten wie diesem, hält Ihr Aufenthalt gute Menschen bei ihrer guten Arbeit: den Guide, die Köchin, den Lehrer, die Reservatswärterin. Das ist Tourismus, den der Ort spürt.
Prince Albert · unterhalb des Swartbergs
Der Ort, der uns das Modell gelehrt hat
Ein kreativer Karoo-Ort mit Oliven, Feigen und dunklem Nachthimmel. Jedes gebuchte Bett erreicht seine Cafés, Ateliers und Küchen und unterstützt den Gemeinschaftsfonds, die Berufsschule und das Reservat direkt vor der Tür.
