ZAFS Tours, a family-owned business with directors from Moshi, in the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro, emerged during the pandemic when they recognised an opportunity to redirect African tourism toward local communities rather than exclusively catering to international travelers. Being travel experts and having a deep connection to Tanzania, ZAFS Tours was established to showcase Africa’s natural beauty to its citizens while delivering exceptional value and service quality. ZAFS Tours’ innovative approach to regional tourism and commitment to customer satisfaction and authentic travel experience positions ZAFS Tours as a pioneer in an industry focused on external markets.
Professional Custom Web Design Partnership
Saifee Creations established a relationship with ZAFS Tours through Marketing Director Zainab Karkhanawala in 2022. A thorough assessment revealed that their existing website failed to meet contemporary standards for adventure travel marketing, particularly for their premium Mt Kilimanjaro expeditions and safari experiences. After comprehensive discussions addressing package pricing strategies and competitive market analysis, ZAFS Tours invested in a customised website solution rather than implementing a standardised template, highlighting their unique adventure offerings and establishing a distinct market position among competitors.
Saifee Creations developed ZAFS Tours’ website using WordPress with a Custom Child Theme. This approach provided significant advantages, particularly the ability to implement extensive customisation while safeguarding modifications during parent theme updates. It enabled Saifee Creations to override existing functionalities with custom code while maintaining access to the parent theme’s core features.
After thorough market research, Saifee Creations identified WordPress’s Travel Engine as the preferred plugin among travel agencies for creating tour booking websites. Despite the plugin’s user-friendly interface, Saifee Creations encountered challenges implementing custom modifications to align with the design requirements. The development process necessitated creating parent and child themes with subsequent customisations.
Saifee Creations’ approach to ZAFS Tours transcended conventional travel website design. Rather than adopting the industry’s standard display-package format, the website is architecturally and purposefully constructed to communicate ZAFS Tours’ distinct market position through several key elements: showcasing their unique value proposition, emphasising their authentic local heritage, highlighting complementary services, and positioning Zanzibar experiences as premium add-ons to their core offerings. Central to this strategy was creating a visually distinctive presentation for their flagship Mt. Kilimanjaro expeditions while maintaining a consistent brand identity throughout the digital platform.
Saifee Creations integrated dynamic video content in prominent header sections of About Us, Safari-Tours, Mt. Kilimanjaro Tour Page, Tanzanian Experience, Zanzibar Island to further enhance the competitive differentiation. This implementation directly addresses the evolving consumer behaviour patterns in adventure tourism, where visual storytelling now significantly outperforms textual content in conversion effectiveness. Saifee Creations delivered a multimedia experience that effectively conveys the emotional and experiential aspects of ZAFS Tours’ offerings, thereby establishing a substantial competitive advantage in a marketplace increasingly driven by visual narrative.
Saifee Creations invested a substantial amount of time developing and implementing complex functionality, including currency conversion systems and optimising the checkout process within WordPress Travel Engine. The backend architecture efficiently manages passenger quantities and performs all necessary calculations automatically.
Expanding Service Portfolio
Saifee Creations has also developed B2B and B2C websites for Gilman’s Outdoor, ZAFS Tours’ sister company specialising in hiking and safari equipment rentals.
Positive Feedback
External marketing partners have specifically commended the exceptional security protocols that prevent unauthorised backend access—a testament to Saifee Creation’s commitment to developing secure digital solutions.
