Safari AI
A WhatsApp enquiry — voice notes and all — becomes a costed, day-by-day itinerary. Grounded in your own rate cards and the quotes you have had accepted before.
Trade software for inbound safari operators
Read a WhatsApp enquiry — voice notes included — and draft a costed multi-country itinerary. Send it. Track it. When the traveller accepts, the trip is open and the supplier vouchers are ready to dispatch. Built for DMCs in Nairobi, Cape Town, Arusha, Kigali, and the rest of the inbound-safari operator network.
Today the work is twelve browser tabs, three WhatsApp threads, and an Excel rate sheet a former intern built in 2019. Safarimondo Pro replaces it with one screen.
“Family of four, 10 nights, Mara then Serengeti then a few days on the coast. Mid-June. Good lodges, not the most expensive ones.”
The work between an enquiry and a sent proposal
Inbound operators do not lose margin on the safari. They lose it in the back office — in the hours between an enquiry landing and a supplier confirming a voucher. Three places it leaks:
An enquiry lands in WhatsApp, the rate cards live in three lodge emails, the last similar quote is in a folder, and the costing happens in a spreadsheet. Nothing talks to anything.
The traveller who asked for Mara and Serengeti gets a proposal typed from a blank document — day by day, lodge by lodge, line by line — even though a near-identical trip went out last month.
When KWS and TANAPA publish new park fees in November, every live quote is wrong until someone reworks the spreadsheet. The intern who built it left in 2021.
See the product
One screen, four stages. Step through the Safari AI itinerary builder the way an operator does — read the enquiry, sketch the trip, cost every line, review and send.
Stage 01 of 04
A WhatsApp message, a voice note, a forwarded email, an advisor PDF. Safari AI reads it and pulls out the structured brief — party, dates, lodge tier, dietary needs. Anything the enquiry left vague is flagged for you to confirm, not guessed.
The enquiry goes in. A costed proposal comes out. Every uncertain line is flagged on the way.
“Hi — looking for 10 nights for a family of four in mid-June. Mara first, then the Serengeti, then we’d love a few days on the coast. Good lodges, but not the most expensive ones. One of the kids is vegetarian.”
Exact coast location not stated. Safari AI flags it for you to confirm before it generates.
The online proposal
The proposal is a branded web page, not a PDF buried in an inbox. The traveller reads the day-by-day, the lodges, and the costed totals — then accepts or pushes back without printing or scanning anything. On your side, the proposal stops being a guess.
A branded link goes out by email or WhatsApp — nothing to download, nothing to print.
On a phone on the sofa, or a desktop at the office. The proposal’s status changes the moment they do.
Questions and change requests come back on the proposal itself — not lost in a separate email thread.
The moment the traveller accepts, the trip opens and the supplier vouchers queue up. Nothing is re-keyed.
The platform
We are starting where the operator’s week leaks margin: the work between an enquiry landing and a supplier confirming a voucher. Operations and supplier-side payouts come later — a fourth pillar in a future phase. Pick a pillar to see what it does.
Pillar 01 — Sales
Voice, text, photo, or forwarded email into a draft costed itinerary. Grounded in your accepted-quote history and your lodge rate cards. The model flags the line items it isn’t sure about; you read the proposal before you send.
“Family of four, 10 nights — Mara, then Serengeti, then a few days on the coast. Mid-June. Good lodges, not the most expensive.”
Replace the stack
The quote moves through five places before it reaches the traveller, and the operator carries it across every seam by hand. Safarimondo Pro is the one screen those five tools were standing in for.

One workspace
No tab-switching, no re-keying between apps. The lead inbox, Safari AI, the proposals, the trips, the supplier vouchers, the rate cards, and the operator forum are one application — you run the whole stretch from enquiry to confirmed trip without leaving it.
A WhatsApp enquiry — voice notes and all — becomes a costed, day-by-day itinerary. Grounded in your own rate cards and the quotes you have had accepted before.
Every enquiry in one queue — WhatsApp, email, voice note, or web form.
Branded and web-first. You see each one sent, opened, and accepted.
An accepted proposal opens as a trip, ready to run.
Lodge, transfer, charter, and park-fee vouchers — confirmed with a tap.
The verified-operator forum, in the same window as the work.
Your lodge rates and park fees, kept current and ready to cost against.
What needs you first — proposals going stale, trips still to confirm.
The same window on a desktop or a phone — mobile-web parity, no native app to install.
Open the demo workspaceHow it works
Four steps on one screen. No re-keying between an inbox, a planner, a PDF tool, and a spreadsheet — the work moves forward in one place.
Step one
A WhatsApp message, a voice note, a forwarded email, an advisor PDF. It arrives in the lead inbox — no copy-pasting between apps.
Step two
The enquiry becomes a costed day-by-day itinerary, priced against your rate cards and accepted-quote history. You read it, edit it, and the uncertain lines are flagged.
Step three
A branded proposal the traveller opens on a phone or a desktop. They accept it or push back inline. You watch it land.
Step four
On accept, the trip opens and supplier vouchers generate as branded PDFs. Suppliers confirm by tapping a link; the trip dashboard goes green.
Built honest
The operator always presses send. Safari AI never dispatches a proposal on its own — it does the typing and shows its working.
A line item it could not ground in your rate cards, an FX rate older than your threshold, an ambiguous brief field — each is surfaced as a chip on the proposal. You read it before you send. The system does not bluff.
Names, emails, and phone numbers are scrubbed from every request before it leaves your organisation. The operator side of the proposal has the names; the prompts do not.
Safari AI ranks lodge picks against your own accepted-quote history, weighted by recency. That history is scoped to your organisation at the database row level — nobody else’s Safari AI sees it.
Built in the open
No black-box backlog and no silent updates. What we are weighing, what we are building, and what just shipped are all public — and The Bush is where operators raise what they need next.
What we are exploring, what is in progress, and what just shipped — the whole pipeline, in public.

Open The BushThe time math
Two numbers — how many proposals you send in a week, and how long one takes you today. The rest is subtraction: Safari AI’s median quote runs under ten minutes.
Your week
Drag the two sliders to your own week. Most inbound operators put a costed proposal somewhere between two and four hours.
Hours off the back office
14hrs / week
That is about 672 hours over a working year — hours back from re-typing what the enquiry already said.

Your two inputs drive every figure here; the only number we supply is Safari AI’s ten-minute median quote. The working year is set at 48 weeks. It is a guide to the shape of the saving — not a guarantee.
