Work With Explore ZA

Explore ZA is an independent travel platform dedicated to showcasing meaningful destinations, experiences, and places to stay across Africa — starting with South Africa. Our focus is on authentic travel, responsible exploration, and highlighting places that respect their environment, culture, and community.

We work with tourism businesses, accommodation providers, experience operators, and brands that align with these values and add genuine value to travellers using Explore ZA.

All collaborations are curated and editorially reviewed to ensure they remain informative, trustworthy, and relevant.

List Your Business on Explore ZA

Explore ZA features selected businesses across our destination, experience, and accommodation guides. Listings are designed to provide useful context for travellers rather than promotional advertising.

Lodges, guest houses, boutique hotels, and campsites
Guided experience providers and tour operators
Food, wine, and cultural experience venues
Outdoor, adventure, and nature-focused services

A standard listing may include an editorial description, imagery, location context, and placement within a relevant destination or experience category.

Listings are not automatically accepted. All submissions are reviewed to ensure quality, relevance, and alignment with Explore ZA’s editorial standards.

Thematic travel stories

All sponsored content is clearly disclosed and produced in an editorial style consistent with Explore ZA.

Sponsored collaborations do not influence independent destination coverage or editorial recommendations.

Conservation & Giving Back

Explore ZA is committed to responsible travel and the protection of Africa’s natural and cultural heritage. As part of our work, we actively support conservation efforts and initiatives that benefit wildlife, ecosystems, and local communities.


A portion of Explore ZA’s activities and partnerships helps fund conservation-focused projects and non-profit organisations working to protect wildlife, natural habitats, and environmentally sensitive areas across Africa.


These contributions are made independently and transparently, with a focus on long-term impact rather than short-term promotion.

Supporting Explore ZA

Visitors and partners who wish to support Explore ZA’s work may do so through voluntary donations. Contributions help fund ongoing content creation, platform development, and direct donations to conservation and wildlife-focused non-profit organisations.


Donations are optional and are used to support both Explore ZA’s operations and aligned conservation initiatives.
