About HLT Travel
Hambo Lwethu Travel is South Africa's travel marketplace. We connect travellers with the best deals on flights, hotels, car hire, shuttles, experiences, and travel insurance.
Our Story
HLT Travel was born from a simple idea: South Africans deserve a travel platform that truly understands their needs. From booking affordable domestic flights to planning once-in-a-lifetime safari experiences, we believe that travel should be accessible to everyone.
Our name, "Hambo Lwethu", means "Our Journey" in isiZulu — reflecting our commitment to being a travel companion for all South Africans, no matter where their journey takes them.
We partner with airlines, hotels, car hire companies, and experience providers across South Africa and Africa to bring you the best prices and the widest selection of travel options.
