Get in front of the competition...

Your page ranking on SafariNow.com is influenced by certain factors. To improve your ranking, you can do the following:


Higher Commission

This one is strictly business - if you offer more than the usual 15% commission, we say ‘thank you’ and boost you up the page. Click here to increase commission.

Best Price Promise

By making the Best Price Promise you are indicating to both the customer and SafariNow that they are getting your best deal, all commissions included. When quoting, you agree that the quoted price is consistent with the price you would quote to a walk-in customer and that the customer is receiving the lowest price available. Your search ranking will be boosted by 500 points, giving you increased exposure in the SafariNow search results. To opt into this, please go to 'Edit My Listings' and select 'Booking Process'.

Response Time

We track your response time to each enquiry you receive. Maintaining a quick response time over a three month period is essential - we feel that every customer and enquiry counts. Most customers book within an hour or two so make sure that you are in the running.

Enquiry-to-Booking Conversion Ratio

If you have a high enquiry to booking ratio, we will give you a boost.

Customer Reviews

Word of mouth is a powerful marketing too. Having customer reviews helps your position. We will give you a real boost if you integrate your customer reviews on SafariNow with your establishments' private website using the Reviews Widget.

Website Content

Your website content is extremely important - the more photos you have the better, you will be penalized for any missing information.12 quality photographs will increase your ranking points. Remember, quality is important - ensure the photographs are clear and show the best of the establishment. These images are your main selling point.

New to SafariNow

We are welcoming to new establishments - we give them a temporary boost on joining us.

On Fire for Tourism

A little extra effort goes a long way - by adding events, travel experiences, photo's or places in your area or other regions to SafariNow, you are helping us to market our country. Again we thank you and reward your establishment with higher placement.

Google Maps

Uploading a satellite map to your own private website using the Google Maps Widget will also enhance your SafariNow search ranking.

Link to Us

By placing a link to us from your own private website you will receive a ranking boost in our search results.

The Power of History

Ensure you answer every query, whether you can accommodate or not. This is essential as unanswered enquiries will negatively impact your ranking.

Quote Correctly

Quoting incorrectly can cause bad history and a negative impact on your ranking. If you cannot accommodate, please ensure you tick the 'Sorry we cannot accommodate' button. When you can accommodate, please ensure you tick 'Quote and hold rooms' button.



NB: We update our search rankings nightly, so if you've made some improvements to your situation please check the next day to see your results.
