With
more than 2,200 unique user reviews, over 750 expert reviews from
renown safari veterans and an unmatchedcollection
of both editorial and visual information, the
site instantly became one of the world’s largest African
Safariresources from the moment it went public.
SafariBookings
is the latest startup of Ximon Media, led by Dutch
serial-entrepreneur Wouter Vergeer (34). The company has spent the
last two years searching the web for people who have been on safari
and inviting them to write a review. As a result, the website
features more than 2,200 user reviews, written by people from over 50
nationalities. Additionally, most of the reputable guidebook authors
-working for
Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Frommer's, Bradt and Footprint- teamed
up in the SafariBookings Expert Panel and wrote another 750 expert
reviews.
Renown
experts and photographers
Besides
the reviews, SafariBookings features a wealth of expert information
on the 8 major safari countries and 140 parks and has over 3,500
photos from world-famous wildlife photographers Michael Poliza,
Ariadne van Zandbergen and Heinrich van den Berg.
A
large contingent of specialized safari operators in both African and
Western countries have already joined, offering their tours on
SafariBookings. The result is an easy-to-compare mash-up of safari
tours which makes the process of finding the right safari much easier
and less time consuming. The expectations are that, by the end of
2013, over 60% of all major safari operators will be represented on
SafariBookings. The combination of
user- and expert reviews, detailed information and safari tours makes
SafariBookings one of the largest online safari resource available.
