How The East Living works

A simple, transparent marketplace — for travelers and suppliers.

For travelers

Plan and book with confidence

Choose a safari, experience or local guide. Requesting a quote is free.

Tell us who you are. We send a short code so we know the operator can reach you.

Our team receives every request and assigns a verified operator — you do not get passed to a reseller.

Compare a few operators, then book only if it feels right. No obligation.

For suppliers

Submit your business for verification — licences, reviews and references.

Once verified, your profile and experiences go live with a verified badge.

After a traveler verifies their email, our team assigns the request. Matching is how we stay curated — it is not a fee.

Our only charge is a monthly subscription ($29–$149/mo) for featured placement. Quotes stay included — no per-lead fee and no commission in Phase 1.
