Premium positioning
Sponsored Destinations
Sponsorship puts your destination, lodge or experience at the top of the page where travelers are actively planning. Clearly labelled, editorially supported, and tightly integrated into our content.
Where it shows
Real estate, in context
Sponsored placements only appear where they make sense. A Botswana lodge surfaces in Botswana content. An Egyptian river cruise surfaces in Egypt content. The reader is never blindsided.
Top of the region
Featured destinations appear above the standard listings on /destinations/[region] and on the relevant country pages. Clear sponsored label, editorial-grade design.
In our guides
Where contextually appropriate, sponsored destinations are referenced inside our editorial guides — for example, a Botswana sponsor surfacing in our Okavango walking-safari guide.
Search and discovery
Sponsored entries are prioritised in search results for relevant queries, with clear sponsored tagging. We do not compromise organic ranking quality elsewhere.

Editorial standards
What we won’t do
Sponsorship cannot buy a place inside our editorial rankings or our “best of” lists. It cannot buy us to remove negative information. And it cannot buy access for operators that fail our basic standards — insurance, safety, fair labour, and animal-welfare ethics. If you operate cleanly, none of this should be a deal-breaker.
Not eligible
- Captive-bred lion encounters
- Petting / walking-with predator activities
- Elephant rides
- Operations without verifiable insurance
- Properties under active environmental enforcement
