Safarilink’s primary objective is to provide safari-specialist tour operators and travel agents with accurate, independently compiled and curated information on safari product (lodges/camps/operators) to help travel professionals sell safaris knowledgeably and effectively.

Safarilink’s proprietary buyer/product ‘intelligent matching’ algorithm provides sales consultants, product managers and senior executives within safari-specialist tour operators and travel agencies with a shortlist of safari products that match their buyer profiles.

Safarilink standard and premium services enable sales consultants, product managers and senior executives to check availability with safari product directly and process bookings with vetted DMC’s where our aggregated bookings platform ensures the best nett rates.
