Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Greg, founder of SafariStays. The idea came from a pattern I kept seeing — friends asking me to help plan their safaris because the existing booking experience is fragmented, slow, and built for single-stop bookings. But a safari is rarely one stop. It's three lodges across two countries, with realistic drive times that matter, and lodges chosen for the right experience at the right point in the journey. Generic OTAs aren't built for that. Specialist agents are great but expensive and slow. So we built SafariStays to sit in the middle. What we've focused on: 🦁 Curated, not crawled — every lodge is personally vetted, not scraped. We're now live with 150+ properties across Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. 🗺️ Route planner built for safaris — the piece we've put the most thought into. You set your starting point and interests, and it suggests lodges, the order, and realistic drive times to make the trip actually work. 🤝 Fair to lodge partners — we settle within 7 days of check-out (most platforms take 30-60), and we're transparent on commission. The supply side matters as much as the demand side. We're still early and there's a lot to build, but we'd genuinely love your feedback — especially on the route planner. Happy to answer anything in the comments. Ask me about specific destinations, the tech stack, the lodge-partner side, or anything else. Cheers from Cape Town
