Packages

One card. Three doors in.

HERO is a two-sided platform. Cause owners apply on one side and get vetted. Travellers, corporates and clubs participate on the other. All money is line-itemed back to a named cause. Lose compliance, lose the badge.

Individuals

Carry the card. Travel deeper.

Three tiers for travellers. Each unlocks deeper trips, member-only camps, and a higher cause-funding multiple on every booking.

Co-branded cards

Your brand, on a vetted card.

Corporates, specialty clubs, and verified cause owners can co-brand the HERO card and issue it to their team, members or subscribers. Each co-brand is approved by the HERO board, themed to your colours, and routed through the same audited ledger.

Launch partner: MySky Gyro Club — a HERO card built for gyrocopter owners. Every flight you log contributes to the parks you fly over.

The launch-partner card — MySky × HERO Africa

How it works

A two-sided platform. One audited ledger.

Cause owners apply

NPOs and conservation projects apply online, get scored against the HERO rubric (governance, transparency, on-the-ground delivery), and become Verified. Lose compliance — lose the badge.

Apply as a cause

Travellers carry the card

Every HeronAfrica and WanaGo booking writes a line-itemed contribution into the HERO ledger. You see exactly which named cause your trip funded — and at which multiplier.
