Koena/Industries/Safari & nature lodges

For safari, nature & eco lodges worldwide

A lodge website that feels like being there, and takes the booking direct.

Guests choose a $300 to $1,500 night from a phone screen. Your site has to carry the place, and make booking direct the obvious choice over an agency taking 15 to 22%.

Live demo, Enkaji

Don't read about it. Use it.

A lodge sells being there, not information. So the demo puts visitors on the deck of their tent, in 3D, at the lodge's real time of day: the light that's actually outside right now, and the animals that are actually out at that hour. They drag through the day from dawn to after dark, raise field glasses to an elephant, and after dark the pointer becomes a torch. The booking panel then prices the stay and shows, with your own numbers, what the guest keeps by booking direct.

What it does

Built around the answer, not the brochure.

Every safari & nature lodges site we build starts from the one question that stalls your sale, and makes the answer something the visitor can use.

Runs on the lodge's real time of day

The page opens on the light that's outside at the lodge right now. Drag through the day, and every part of the page follows the same clock.

No photo shoot needed

The landscape, the tents and the animals are built in 3D, so the site looks finished on day one, even before your photographer has been.

Direct-booking maths on screen

The booking panel prices the stay live, then shows what the same stay costs through an agency and what the guest saves by coming to you.

Questions

Safari & nature lodges: common questions.

Can it connect to our booking engine?

Yes. We connect the rate panel to the engine you already use, such as Cloudbeds, SiteMinder, ResRequest or NightsBridge, or send enquiries straight to your reservations inbox.

We don't have good photos. Is that a problem?

No. The landscape is built in 3D in the browser, so the site works without a shoot. When you have great photos, we add them where they help.

Will it load for guests on mobile data?

Yes. The scene is built in the browser rather than downloaded as video, so the page stays light. We test on slow mobile connections before launch.

Can tour operators still book with us?

Yes. Direct booking is encouraged, never forced. We can add a trade page with net rates behind a login.

Do you work with clients in other countries?

Yes. We work remotely with clients worldwide, with video calls, a shared project board and weekly previews you can click through.

What does it cost?

Projects start from $2,500. You get a fixed quote after a 30-minute call, and it doesn't change unless the scope does.
