We started Trekly because travelling in your own country should not be this hard.
South Africans take millions of trips a year, and most of them are planned the same painful way: too many tabs, a booking site that shows you the price before the fees, and a two-hour drive that turns out to be four.
Meanwhile some of the best places in this country are run by people who are brilliant at hosting and terrible at marketing. They never show up on page one.
Trekly sits in the middle. We find the good places, drive the routes, work out what things really cost, and hand you a plan that fits your budget — because we asked what it was first.
What we believe
Start with the budget
Not the wish list. Everything else follows from an honest number, and we ask for it first.
Say the price out loud
Every quote is all-in. If something is not included, we tell you before you have to ask.
Book local where we can
Family guesthouses, local guides, kitchens with a name attached. It is better travel, and it is better for the town.
A plan should survive contact with reality
Real drive times. Realistic days. Room for the thing you did not plan.
Everyone travels
A family of six on a tight budget gets the same care as a corporate group of sixty.
