About Us

Currently, this site is being managed by our team in Cape Town, the operators of the Cape Town and Cape Winelands hotel and tour booking portals. We are looking to sell this destination portal to a new partner. If you're intersted in joining the WHL team and becomming our partner for the Johannesburg, South Africa destination, check out the Partners page for more information.

Destination-Johannesburg isn't just a run of the mill online booking portal. Instead, it's focused on supporting the ‘little guys', something that many online portals forget to do. Bed and Breakfasts, Guest Houses and Backpackers make up a huge chunk of the industry, yet they really struggle to market themselves, and that's where we step in.

The Destination-Johannesburg team is led by Jodi and Zack. Originally from the USA, they made a fateful trip to South Africa a few years back and their lives were changed forever. One thing about South Africa, is that it knows how to impress.... by the time Jodi and Zack were scheduled to fly home- the decision to move across the world had already been made.

This giant leap of faith went hand in hand with the launch of their worldhotel-link sites. Having recruited staff to help develop and manage the site, not only do they now have a spectacular view out of their office window but they also provide a helping hand to small tourism businesses, by giving them a platform to help them get their message out to the big wide world.

Then our dear Jennifer joined the whl.travel crew. Jennifer was born and raised in Cape Town and knows her way around like a true local. Active and sporty, Jennifer has run in several Two Oceans Half Marathons and participates in the Cape Argus every year without fail!

The whole Destination-Johannesburg team is an outgoing and adventurous one! Zack and Jodi are our resident rock climbers. With a distinct inability to deal with heights, Jen focuses her attention on the lower altitude sports of surfing, cycling and trail running. But don't be fooled, we have a cultural side too! There isn't a theatre or festival that we haven't been to. If you are in need of recommendations, just ask.

So, as recent tourists to South Africa themselves, Zack and Jodi know exactly what tourists are looking for, and along with Jen, we know exactly how to get it for you. When you think about it, we really are the perfect team!

Despite being one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, Johannesburg faces a slew of issues that affect the quality of life of its local population. Problems range from the devastation caused by HIV/AIDS and poverty, to the problematic water and electrical shortages that plague the Country.

Worldhotel-link has pledged its support to sustainable tourism, so make sure we are doing our bit, our office is starting small and tackling our own impact on the local environment. Our first step was to limit waste within our own office, after all we can't expect others to help us if we don't try and lead the way.

We don't print things unless we really need to, we always switch appliances and lights off when we are not using them and we limit unnecessary commuting whenever possible. We have recently developed a partnership with Oasis Association. They are an organisation that collects all of your recyclable waste free and charge. All proceeds from the recycled goods help to support men and women who suffer from an intellectual disability. For more information on Oasis Recyling visit their website
