I’m working on Great Rift Safari — an AI-powered platform that helps travelers design fully personalized safari itineraries in East Africa (think Kenya and Tanzania).
Instead of wading through endless lodge options, park fees, and confusing seasonal details, you just share your interests (big cats, birding, photography, budget, luxury, etc.), and our AI planner (plus input from local experts) builds a detailed, day-by-day itinerary for you.
We also show realistic price estimates and handle all the local logistics, so you can focus on the adventure, not the spreadsheets.
If anyone here has struggled to plan a safari (or has feedback on what would make it easier), I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I think it is a great tool, as someone who has this on his bucketlist but no experience it is really handy. Few points of feedback:
1. When I select the start date, maybe autofill the end date with 2 weeks or so.
2. I dropped my email, but that is not something I enjoyed doing.
3. I think there should be a clear reason what is expensive and what not. My 2 week itinerary was 25k. I have no idea if this is expensive (probably not), but to me this feels insane.
Here is an idea on how to make sure the receiver doesn't deny receiving the item.
1. Add a barcode to the packaged item
2. The receiver has to scan the barcode using your mobile app before the traveler hands over the package. Your app will then display a passcode that the traver recognizes.
This ensures that you are certain that the receiver is who they claim to be and also that they received the item.
Thanks for the suggestion. This is definitely something we have in the pipeline. One of the constraints we are dealing with is that often people will turn of their phones when they travel internationally. We do get a local (international) number to contact the travelers but a good number of those phones don't have scanning capability. An alternative is to have the shopper enter a code via sms. The traveler then gets a confirmation that validates the shopper is who they say they are and it also confirms to us that the shopper picked up the package (the traveler would not know this code).
