For Safari Lodges & Tented Camps

Manage the whole lodge.From drives to dinner.

Vision1 is purpose-built for safari lodges and tented camps in East Africa. Activity scheduling, guide tracking, infrastructure alerts, and meal planning — works without internet, all in one place.

Capabilities

Built for a camp, not a city hotel

Activities, guides, vehicles, infrastructure and inspections - the things a lodge runs on that a hotel system has no field for.

Lodge Dashboard

Revenue by activity, guide utilisation, guests in-house, and asset status — all on one screen. Lodge managers see everything that matters before the morning game drive departs.

  • Revenue bars broken down by activity: Game Drive · Bush Walk · Night Safari · Sundowner
  • Guide utilisation donut: on activity vs. available
  • Guests in-house count with checkout forecast
  • Asset status table: water, fuel, solar, waste — with alert thresholds

Activity Catalogue

Schedule every activity, assign a guide and vehicle, set the pax limit, and track revenue — all from one table. No spreadsheets, no WhatsApp coordination.

  • Activity list: Game Drive AM/PM · Bush Walk · Night Safari · Sundowner · Custom
  • Guide and vehicle assignment per activity with conflict detection
  • Pax count and price per person → live revenue projection
  • Status pills: Upcoming · In Progress · Departed · Completed

Guide Management

A profile, availability calendar, and performance metrics for every guide. Know who is on activity, who is available, and what guests are saying — in real time.

  • Guide profile: specialisations, languages, certifications, star rating
  • Monthly availability calendar with activity blocks and rest days
  • Activity count, pax led, and revenue generated per guide (MTD)
  • Recent guest reviews surfaced on the profile card

Infrastructure Monitor

Water tanks, diesel generators, solar batteries, and waste — all monitored with configurable alert thresholds. Critical alerts (like low fuel) push to the manager the moment they breach.

  • Circular gauges per asset with % level and colour-coded status
  • Configurable thresholds: warn at X%, critical at Y%
  • Fuel: alert fires when generator drops below 25% — ~14 hrs runway
  • Timestamped infrastructure log for every reading and alert

Meal Plan

A guest × meal grid for every service. Dietary requirements are flagged clearly so the kitchen never misses a gluten-free plate or a Halal set menu.

  • Guest rows × Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner columns with Served / Pending status
  • Dietary tags per guest: Vegetarian · Halal · Gluten-Free · No Pork · Custom
  • Special requests (birthdays, room service) highlighted in amber
  • "Print Kitchen Sheet" and "Send to Kitchen" one-click exports

Inspection Rounds

Structured morning and evening inspection rounds with digital checklists, photo attachments, and pass/fail badges. Failed items auto-raise a maintenance ticket.

  • Checklist cards per area: Reception · Kitchen · Tent Blocks · Generator Room
  • Checkboxes with inspector name and completion timestamp
  • Photo attachment per card — reviewable by manager remotely
  • Failed item → auto-creates Staff Task with priority and action note

Staff Task Board

A Kanban board for every department: Housekeeping, Kitchen, Maintenance, Operations, and Security. Tasks move from Pending → In Progress → Done with full audit trail.

  • Three columns: Pending · In Progress · Done — drag or click to move
  • Task cards: title, role badge, priority (Urgent / Normal), assignee, due time
  • Role colour-coding: green (Housekeeping) · red (Maintenance) · amber (Kitchen)
  • Done column retains completed tasks with timestamps for shift handover
