Use HambaNow in Claude

Read-only travel search and guides for South Africa and beyond.

The HambaNow connector lets Claude search flights, buses, car hire rates, holiday packages and destination guides. It is strictly read-only: it searches and explains, and it never books.

Bookings happen on HambaNow. Bookings are completed on hambanow.com, not in Claude. The connector cannot make bookings or reservations, take payments, change bookings or cancel them.

Setup

In Claude, open Settings > Connectors. If your account supports custom connectors, add a custom connector named HambaNow, enter the connector URL above and follow Claude’s connection prompts. If HambaNow is already available in your connector list, you can select it there instead. Availability depends on your plan and workspace settings; a directory listing is not guaranteed. For help, contact HambaNow.

Privacy

See our Privacy Policy. Keep your questions free of sensitive information such as passport or payment details; the connector does not need them.
