How to Use Both SafariBookings and SafariOffice

What is the Use of Connecting your SafariBookings and SafariOffice Accounts?

Import templates: If you have a SafariBookings account, you can import all your active tours in SafariBookings as templates in SafariOffice. This will save you a lot of time when creating a nice itinerary and quote in SafariOffice with ready-to-use templates. If both of your accounts are already connected, the importing of templates will happen automatically.

Create your itineraries on SafariBookings first, and then these will import automatically as tours templates in SafariOffice. 

Import requests: If your SafariBookings account is already connected to your SafariOffice account, you do not have to do anything further. All new requests that you receive from SafariBookings will be automatically populated in your request inbox on SafariOffice.

Auto update booking status: You can set the connection to update statuses both ways automatically. This means you can either set the status to Booked, Not Booked (or still Open) in SafariBookings and it will update to SafariOffice or the other way around. It will auto-update the value and start dates as well.

Does Changing Templates Make any Changes on SafariBookings?

When you are making changes to your templates in SafariOffice, you might wonder if these changes affect your itineraries on SafariBookings. Simply answered, no. 

You can freely adjust your templates in SafariOffice without affecting your tours on SafariBookings. 

NOTE: You cannot import your templates from SafariOffice into tours on SafariBookings. However, your new itineraries on SafariBookings will always be automatically imported into templates in SafariOffice if you have these accounts connected. This is a one time import. So any changes made on either platform do not affect the other. But the link between these tours will stay. So if you do update a tour on either platform after the import update the other one accordingly.

What is the Difference between SafariBookings and SafariOffice?

SafariBookings and SafariOffice are two different platforms that can be used separately and/or together. SafariBookings is used to generate leads, while SafariOffice can be used to turn these leads (requests) into more sales. Therefore, SafariOffice is a great tool to generate a higher conversion rate especially if you have many leads, but no sales.

> SafariBookings: an online marketplace that enables clients to reach out to you (or other operators) to request an African safari tour offered by your company on the platform. 

> SafariOffice: a user-friendly sales software for all your safari requests. This tool helps you create nice quotes and itineraries to help convert your leads into bookings.
