Fynbos & Gold is an independent guide operated by Cape Colony, South Africa. Questions about this page: fynbosandgold2026@gmail.com.
The short version
Some tour and accommodation links are commercial links. If you follow an eligible affiliate link and make a qualifying booking, Fynbos & Gold may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. A tracking code or an “affiliate” label is not proof that an account is approved, a particular booking will qualify, or a commission will be paid.
Manually configured tour affiliate links are labelled and use rel="sponsored nofollow". Accommodation links may also be changed dynamically by the Stay22 integration installed on parts of this site. Not every accommodation link therefore has a manually visible affiliate code or the same label. See our privacy notice for the third-party integration and its limitations.
Configuration and verification status
This table describes the website configuration reviewed on 9 November 2026, not confirmed account approval or earnings. Programme dashboards, payout eligibility and completed-booking attribution have not been verified in this review.
| Platform | What is configured | What remains unverified |
|---|---|---|
| GetYourGuide | Specific product links contain our existing partner ID and are marked affiliate. | Account standing, date-specific product availability and commission attribution. |
| Viator (Tripadvisor) and Klook | Existing programme identifiers are on record. Older generic tour searches have been replaced by the specific links now shown. | Dashboard approval and payout status; identifiers alone do not establish either. |
| Expedia Group | Existing affiliate shortlinks remain in use, including named-hotel Expedia Creator shortlinks for The Winchester Hotel and POD Camps Bay. | Shortlink attribution and payout status. |
| Stay22 | A Stay22 script and integration identifier are included in the site's older page templates. | Account activation, enabled features, runtime link changes and commission reporting. |
| Booking.com | Accommodation links are present; eligible links may be handled by Stay22. | A direct Booking.com affiliate partnership has not been established by this review. No payout is guaranteed. |
Official operator and museum information links identified as not affiliate-tagged have no manually added affiliate code. That is not a blanket promise that a third party cannot apply tracking. Booking platforms set their own prices, terms and privacy practices; we do not process bookings or payments.
Our editorial rules
- We recommend places and experiences on their merits. Many recommendations (for example, most restaurants) have no booking link at all.
- We do not accept payment for inclusion, and we do not publish fake or incentivised reviews.
- We are not an official site of any attraction, operator or platform, and we do not take bookings ourselves.
- Restaurant awards and statistics are cited to their source.
