We sell through you, never around you

We make Southern Africa easy to sell. Two ways to work with us, one login, STO rates and a named person who knows your bookings — for both trip planning and transfers.

Two kinds of account, one relationship

Most partners start with one and add the other later. Both use the same login.

SavannahLink DMC Partner

For teams that want one local partner behind individual bookings, groups and multi-country trips, with paperwork in your own brand.

  • Trips planned for couples, families and groups in seven countries
  • Quotes and travel documents in your brand, not ours
  • Trips crossing several countries priced as one booking
  • Confidential STO rates — your mark-up is your business
  • A named planner, plus someone on call day and night

Agencies, lodges, hotels and DMCs booking transport only

Trade Transfer Account

For teams that mainly need reliable transport: a trade account for booking transfers at STO rates, with your requests handled first.

  • Book and follow all your transfers in one account
  • Trade prices on our listed routes and on anything custom
  • Commission or STO rates agreed when you open the account
  • Same-day and same-week requests handled first
  • One monthly statement and one invoice

Your client stays your client

We quote you, work under your brand when you ask us to, and never contact your client to sell them anything. We use their details only to run the trip.

Distribution partners

Hotels, guesthouses and safari lodges

Offer your guests a transfer without buying vehicles: a booking link for your property that we quote and drive for you.

  • Bookable transfer links

    A simple booking link for your property that takes guests to a transfer request with your pickup point already filled in.

  • No transport to operate

    No vehicles to buy, no drivers to employ, no insurance and no daily juggling. We quote, confirm and drive it.

  • One accountable desk

    Arrivals and departures for your guests sit with one team for the whole region, instead of a different supplier in every town.

  • Commission direction (planned)

    We plan to pay commission or offer better prices to properties that send us guests. It is not live yet and we will not pretend it is.

Supply network

  • One ground partner, seven countries

    South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Eswatini and Mozambique on one contract, with one team answering.

  • Contracted supply, not a marketplace

    We book and brief the vehicles, driver-guides, hotels and activities ourselves. You deal with us, not with ten suppliers.

  • Trade-first distribution

    Our bookings come from travel agents, tour operators and properties. We build tools that help you sell instead of chasing the same guest.

How it works

Request, quote, book, pay

One airport pickup or a two-week trip through four countries — the steps are the same, and a person prices every one.

  1. 01

    You send us a request

    Tell us the dates, the pickup and drop-off and how many people. Two minutes, no card details, no obligation.

  2. 02

    We check it and send a price

    A real person checks the cars, drivers and rooms, then emails you a written quote. Prices are worked out by hand, not by a computer.

  3. 03

    You say yes and we book it

    Approve the quote and we book the drivers and suppliers, send your vouchers and put the job on our daily board.

  4. 04

    You pay and we drive

    We invoice your account or send bank details. Paying by card online is not available yet.

Platform readiness

One login today, more automation next

Shared regional operations already sit behind a single partner account. We would rather tell you what is planned than imply it is live.

One login for both products

DMC files and transfer bookings sit behind a single partner account.

Every request is priced by an operator, so cross-border and lodge legs are checked before you commit.
