Hospitality Partner Memberships

Since 2012 we have recruited over 400 partner members!

These members have joined thanks to the part they played in our expeditions from 2012 to 2014.

By hosting small our research teams for one to two nights or a meal or two that automatically qualified them to be listed on our website and join the nationwide network of project collaborators.

In order to expand our network we have now opened up possibilities for new members to join us.

Eligibility criteria for partner membership

Your business undertakes operations we consider to be ethical, within our organisation’s ethos and has a positive impact to the local community or environment.

For details on responsible tourism practices read here.

In order to receive a website listing on our EXPLORE page with ad hoc featured listings and social media promotions you have the below options:

OPTION 1 – Be A Featured Partner

  • Become an annual accommodation host or meal sponsor (your availability dependent) for The Expedition Project team, ambassadors, or volunteers.
  • Agree to *7% commission on all **bookings sent your way from our advertising.

Being one of our featured partners would allow you to:

  • Stay on our website and gain more visibility for FREE, and the opportunity of getting more enquiries;
  • Get more visibility and advertising on our website and social media;
  • Be part of our most recommended accommodation establishments, located on top of our “Explore” page;
  • Be on the main route for our road trips;
  • Help the South African Communities, and support our Projects;
  • Help us with first-hand updates of your area.

OPTION 2 – Help South African Communities and get advertised

  • Choose to only opt-in for a *7% commission for **bookings sent your way from our advertising.

Advantages that you’d get with Option 2:

  • Stay on our website and gain more visibility for free, and the opportunity of getting more enquiries;
  • Get more visibility and advertising on our website and social media;
  • Help South African Communities, and support our Projects.

OPTION 3 – Be one of our Sponsored Partners

  • Be a sponsored host for our team, or volunteers, when we come and visit you. This won’t be a regular event. And also, it will depend on your availability. But if it is regular then it will include extra advertising too, and of course, it will be a good opportunity for us to meet again and get first-hand updates on your area!

Advantages that you’d get with Option 3:

  • Stay on our website and gain more visibility for free, and the opportunity of getting more enquiries;
  • Help us with first-hand updates of your area.

* The commission can vary based on your budget. We are flexible and happy to discuss with you to find a win-win solution.
