As South Africans increasingly turn to domestic holidays, there's a growing shift toward choosing a travel platform that truly understands the local landscape. Leading this movement is LekkeSlaap, the country's only major accommodation booking app designed by South Africans, for South Africans. With an easy-to-use mobile app, a diverse selection of over 33,000 verified stays, and world-class customer support, LekkeSlaap is redefining how South Africans experience local travel. It's everything you'd expect from a world-class platform, with the added benefit of being proudly homegrown.
'LekkeSlaap was created with one simple idea in mind: booking a local getaway should be just as enjoyable as the getaway itself,' says Gerriline Fouché, Chief Marketing Officer at LekkeSlaap. 'We've worked hard to remove the excessive admin and uncertainty from travel planning—booking a local stay should be easy and stress-free.'
A travel app built for South Africans
Whether you're planning a beach escape, a bush break, or a quick city stay, the LekkeSlaap app makes it effortless to search, compare, and book accommodation—anytime, anywhere. Optimised for a seamless mobile experience, the app allows users to filter, browse, and confirm bookings in just a few taps.
'Our users are busy,' says Fouché. 'That's why we prioritise speed and simplicity—so anyone, from a seasoned traveller to a first-time booker, can find and book their perfect stay without hassle.'
33,000+ verified stays across all 9 provinces
From cosy farm cottages and coastal hideaways to modern city apartments and luxury lodges, LekkeSlaap offers an unrivalled selection of verified stays throughout South Africa, many of which are unique to the app. The app is specifically built so that each user can find something to suit their needs—from budget-friendly stays to luxury getaways and everything in between.
Real customer support, 365 days a year
One of LekkeSlaap's biggest differentiators is its dedicated customer support team, available every single day—including weekends and public holidays. Whether you need help with a booking or have a last-minute change, assistance is always just a call or message away.
Recognised for excellence
LekkeSlaap has been named South Africa's Leading Online Travel Agency at the World Travel Awards for three years running—an achievement that highlights its growing reputation for quality, service, and innovation.
'It's an honour to be recognised by both our users and the industry,' says Fouché. 'It affirms our mission to make LekkeSlaap the first name South Africans think of when planning a local getaway.'
Exclusive rewards for loyal travellers
LekkeSlaap also offers a tiered loyalty programme called LekkeSlaap Rewards, giving users access to exclusive discounts and perks every time they book. Members of the programme can unlock increasing benefits based on how often they travel, making it even more rewarding to explore South Africa. It's a way of saying thank you to loyal guests—while helping them get more value from every getaway.
'LekkeSlaap Rewards is all about giving back to our loyal customers — with exclusive discounts and free travel vouchers at thousands of handpicked Rewards Partner properties across the country,' says Fouché. 'We've already handed out more than R149 million in vouchers since launching the programme in 2020.'

10 Queer Travel Books to Read This Summer

There are few experiences that match the same liberating and transformative feeling of travel. In literally moving outside of our daily routines and surroundings, perhaps the greatest souvenir we bring back home from our journeys are the new parts of ourselves we uncover. And from beach reads to guidebooks, travelogues to adventure comics, reading intuitively feels part and parcel with our travels as a safe space we can tap into to explore ideas. But whether through cultural stigma, discriminatory legislation, or a lack of accommodating resources, the obstacles can be complicated and various for LGBTQ+ travelers. Through sharing stories of how queer people move and exist in the world, the ability to travel feels just that much more available knowing there's a greater community of people who understand and still claim journeying as a right rather than a privilege. By no means a comprehensive list, our suggestions for LGBTQ+ reads are more of a sampler of the vast and growing library of queer books on travel. From the eerily beautiful highways of West Texas to a river boat in Phnom Penh, this compilation of some of our favorite queer books plots out a humane and exciting vision of the world one paragraph (or comic panel) at a time.
