Run your safari business
from one dashboard.
SafariSync is where tour operators and property owners across Africa handle enquiries, itineraries, rates, availability and bookings — and work with each other directly, without an OTA in the middle.
- Two sides
- Operators & properties
- Direct
- Partner-to-partner rates
- 3 OTAs
- Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb
- PesaPal
- Cards, bank, mobile money
Who it is for
Two businesses, one platform
Operators and properties get their own dashboard — and meet in the middle when they trade with each other.
Tour operators
Fill the calendar, then run the trip
Take enquiries from travellers searching for safaris, turn them into priced itineraries, and manage the booking through to departure.
- Review each enquiry before you pay for it — accept the ones you want, pass on the rest
- Build day-by-day itineraries with activities, accommodation and transfers, exported as PDF
- Request contract rates directly from lodges and camps on the platform
- Track leads, quotes, bookings and cash in one revenue dashboard
Lodges, camps & hotels
Get found by operators, fill your rooms
List your property, publish availability and rates once, and let tour operators book against the terms you set.
- Approve partnership requests and set the contract rates each operator gets
- One availability calendar, kept in step with Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb
- Per-room or per-person rates, seasons, and multi-unit occupancy handled properly
- Guest operations built in — check-in, housekeeping, maintenance and inspections
The platform
What you get in the dashboard
The tools a safari business actually runs on, in one place instead of four subscriptions and a spreadsheet.
Leads & enquiries
Traveller enquiries arrive with destination, dates and party size. You decide which to take before any detail is unlocked.
Itineraries & quotes
A guided builder for day-by-day proposals: activities, stays, transfers, pricing, tax and PDF export.
Bookings & availability
One calendar for rooms, tents and departures — with holds, options and provisional reservations.
Channel management
Push rates, restrictions and availability to Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb from a single hub.
Partnerships
Operators and property owners connect directly, agree contract rates, and settle between themselves.
Operations
Housekeeping, maintenance, inspections, fleet, staff scheduling and guest check-in.
Reporting
Revenue, occupancy, lead conversion, aging and cash reconciliation — with exports.
Payments & wallet
Take payment through your own gateway. Cards, bank transfer, M-Pesa and mobile money via PesaPal.
Optional module suites extend the core — add only the ones your operation needs.

Questions
Before you sign up
What is the difference between safarisync.com and app.safarisync.com?
safarisync.com is the traveller-facing marketplace where guests browse safaris, lodges and camps. app.safarisync.com is the business dashboard where tour operators and property owners run their side of it — listings, enquiries, bookings, rates and reporting.
How does the lead system work for tour operators?
A traveller sends an enquiry through the marketplace. You see the summary first — destination, dates, group size — and choose to accept or pass. Accepting reveals the full customer details and charges your wallet. You are never billed for a lead you did not take.
How do partnerships between operators and properties work?
An operator sends a contract rate request to a property. The property owner sets the terms and approves the partnership, after which the operator can build itineraries and book at the agreed rates. Settlement runs between the two businesses, through the property owner's own payment gateway.
Can I manage more than one property?
Yes. The number of properties included depends on your plan — the pricing section above shows the limit on each. Larger portfolios are handled case by case; contact sales.
How do I get paid?
Guest and operator payments are processed through PesaPal, covering credit and debit cards, bank transfer, M-Pesa and other mobile money. Payments for direct bookings go to your own connected gateway rather than being held by the platform.
Do I need to be approved before I can use the dashboard?
Yes. New organisations are created pending review and are checked manually. You will be emailed once the review is done, and you can sign in and finish your setup as soon as it clears.
