Quick Takeaways
- In this webinar, Safari Portal introduced its new Mapbox integration, replacing Google Maps, and walked through how Itineraries now display maps with customizable styles.
- To update a map, open a file, click Edit → Map → Configure Map, and select from different background styles (e.g., light, dark). You can also save your preferred map style as a default for future Itineraries.
- This update is the first step in Safari Portal’s ongoing evolution of maps—stay tuned for new enhancements and customization features.
- Guest presenter Lori Voss from Wilderness Seekers gave an in-depth overview of Amaya Lodge, a luxury tented camp in Timbavati (Greater Kruger National Park).
- Amaya features 8 luxury tents with air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, indoor/outdoor showers, espresso machines, and minibars. Guests can book exclusive-use or individual tents, with thoughtful layouts for families and couples.
- Activities include morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris, a pool, yoga sala (instructor available on request), and a unique filmmaking game drive led by the owners, who are professional wildlife filmmakers.
- The filmmaking game drive includes equipment training, access to exclusive Big Five sightings (via special permits), and professional video editing. Guests return with a polished Instagram-ready video of their safari.
- Dining highlights include gourmet cuisine catering to all dietary needs, indoor/outdoor dining options, and special extras like complimentary honeymoon picnics or celebratory events (e.g., proposals, anniversaries).
