The interactive map shows properties and camps as markers. Click on any marker to view information shared by our community. Zoom in to see units within camps. Use the toggle controls to show/hide different types of accommodations. As our community grows, more markers will appear on the map.

You can add properties, camps, and units by visiting our How to Contribute page for detailed instructions. We recommend starting with the property (parent location), then adding camps within it, and finally adding units. You'll need to provide details like name, description, location coordinates, and upload photos. Every contribution helps us build this platform from the ground up.

A property is the parent location (like a game reserve or lodge facility) that contains multiple camps. A camp is a safari lodge or accommodation facility within a property, containing multiple accommodation units and shared facilities. A unit is an individual accommodation option within a camp - this could be a tent, suite, villa, or room. Each unit has its own unique features, layout, and amenities.

For each property, camp, and unit shared by our community, you can view information including: name, location, description, photos, contact details, and reviews. Since we're building this platform together, the amount of information available depends on what contributors have shared. More details are added as our community grows.

Guest reviews are displayed with star ratings (1-5 stars) and written comments. Reviews show the guest's username, date of visit, and their experience. Look for patterns in reviews - if multiple guests mention the same positive or negative aspects, it's likely accurate. Reviews help you understand the real experience beyond the promotional photos and descriptions.

Safari accommodations come in various types including: luxury tents, family lodges, deluxe suites, standard rooms, water villas, and more. Each unit type offers different levels of comfort, space, and amenities. The unit type is clearly displayed on each unit's page, along with detailed descriptions of what's included and what makes it unique.

Currently, Safarikaya is focused on providing detailed information and visual exploration of accommodations. We showcase accommodation information, but all arrangements are made directly with the camps.

We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information. Camp and unit details are provided by camp owners and community contributors. Guest reviews offer real experiences from actual visitors. However, we recommend contacting camps directly to confirm current availability, rates, and any recent changes before making travel plans.

You can contribute by adding properties, camps, and units, uploading photos, writing reviews, and sharing your safari experiences. Visit our How to Contribute page for detailed instructions.
