This is built for operators who already take money at the gate or the booking desk: Trail companies, wine-estate lawns, and lodges with day walks. SANParks and municipal reserves stay free. Paying never buys a better review or a softer safety note — see the listing disclaimer.

Who this is for right now

Garden Route, Cederberg, Overberg and West Coast region spotlights are unsold. If you run a lodge, day-walk desk or picnic lawn near Storms River, Langebaan, the Cederberg or De Hoop, a Featured slot puts you first on that region's hub. Otter Trail, West Coast National Park, Robberg and Whale Trail searches already reach those pages.

Operators we already list as bookable, without a Featured badge:

Those pages already send hikers to the booking desk with the listed fee and hours. A labelled Featured slot from R1 990 a year puts you first on that region.

What we need from you

The details hikers use: name and location, distance and difficulty if it applies, entry fee, published hours, dog policy, parking, and a safety note if you have one. Send what you have. We follow up for gaps before the listing goes live.

Who should pay for a featured listing?

Private trail operators, wine-estate picnic venues, lodges with day walks, and guided-hike companies. Public reserves can stay on a free basic listing — featured is for places that take bookings or entry fees and want to be found first.

What does featured placement include?

A labelled Featured badge, first position on the matching region and filter pages — including after a visitor sorts by nearest, fee or name — and a slot on the homepage (up to six at a time). Free and featured listings are held to the same accuracy standard.

How do I pay?

Send the form with the plan you want. We reply with an EFT invoice or a Payfast link. Featured is R1 990 a year (or R199 a month). Region spotlight is R4 990 a year, one slot per region.
