Africaway | Curated African Safaris
About the project
Running a luxury travel agency, I saw how difficult it can be for travelers to compare African safaris, understand the full cost, and know where to start. Too often, even basic pricing requires an inquiry and a lengthy email exchange. I built Africaway to bring carefully curated itineraries, transparent pricing, and online reservations together, while still offering expert support when travelers need it. Africaway helps travelers discover, compare, and reserve curated African safaris online. They can filter trips by destination, budget, length, and travel interests; explore camps and daily itineraries; select dates and extras; and see the full price before paying a reservation deposit. It combines the convenience of online booking with the personal guidance of a specialist travel agency. Africaway has recently launched, and our focus is now shifting from building the platform to reaching travelers. For now, we’re keeping this submission focused on the product. The biggest wow moment has been seeing the entire booking experience come together: date-based pricing, traveler counts, optional experiences, promotions, and payments all working within the same platform. Being able to describe a business requirement in plain language, build it, and refine it through conversation has changed how I approach developing the business. I can spend more time shaping the customer experience and getting Africaway in front of travelers.
