Book the whole of South Africa in one Jurni.
Hotels, agents and travellers on a single platform - accommodation, activities, transport and attractions, searched and booked in one place.
South Africa, booked end to end
South African travel was scattered across phone calls, WhatsApp threads and a dozen tabs - a guest house here, a shuttle there, a wine tour booked on arrival. Jurni set out to put the country's stays and experiences behind one search, and to give the local agents who know it best a place to sell.
For travellers
One search across stays, activities, transport and attractions.
For properties
List a room, a camp or a whole lodge and take bookings directly.
For agents
Onboard, manage inventory and earn on every booking they broker.
A market that never talked to itself
Great destinations, fragmented booking. Before Jurni, supply and demand for South African travel simply never met in one place.
Fragmented supply
Thousands of independent guest houses and lodges with no shared shopfront.
Agents left out
The people who actually sell South African travel had no digital channel of their own.
A trip, not just a bed
Travellers wanted the tour and the transfer too, not another siloed hotel site.
Trust and money
Local pricing, VAT, refunds and cancellation rules had to be handled correctly, in Rand.
One platform, four ways to travel
We built Jurni as a two-sided marketplace. Properties and agents onboard on one side; travellers search, compare and pay on the other. A single booking engine spans four verticals, and every stay recommends what to do nearby.
Unified search
Property, province, town, dates and guests - one bar, results across every vertical.
Multi-vertical booking
Accommodation, Activities, Transport and Attractions in a single flow.
Agent and property onboarding
Self-serve listing for owners; a managed console for middle agents.
Nearby by design
Book a room, get the tours, restaurants and transport around it.
Three screens, one journey
Home & search
A landscape hero with the four booking verticals as tabs, a live search bar, hand-picked featured stays and real guest reviews.
