What inspired you to launch your own website?
We would like to attract people from USA,Britain, Germany,Australia,Canada and from all around the world to see what an unusual and great product we have to offer. We invite everyone to look at our website, to read our story, to meet us, and to trust us to take them on an adventure of a lifetime in Africa. I personally LOVE the idea of a website it is so efficient in getting the word around, Thankyou for offering this service.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
Launched the Website a week ago. We want to introduce our wonderful Tulasana Safaris in South Africa to everyone,and introduce ourselves to the whole wide world. It is an invitation to join us.Our Safaris consit of 10 day tours, staying in Luxury accomodation in South Africa, plus seeing the big five and receiving a Bush education from our professional guides.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
From a Zulu Song called "Tula Baba" it is a Zulu Lullaby saying Hush baby now don't you cry "rest your weary head now baby don't you cry, be at peace my child for just a little while" and that is what we are offering our clients, rest, peace take a break, be at one with nature, we will take great care of them. hence our name Tulasana Safaris
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
We are three lovely ladies! Our safaris are specifically designed with the single people in mind, although we will consider couples.Women do things well, we are organised, fun,perfectionists,we enjoy the bush as well as luxury & comforts. We have professional guides at all the camps for our clients. We meet & greet clients as they arrive in Johannesburg and organise everything for them from then on. Our trips include accomodation, food, drinks, so clints will not have to worry about banking etc. They buy their own air tickets return to Johannesburg and leave the rest to us.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
WE want to be very busy showing people glorious Africa, giving them a great experience and eventually being the BEST in the travel industry in Africa
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Can't say yet, we are a new venture
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
We could have moving videos of animals, kills etc. Our clints chatting around the camp fire, have sounds of the nightlife in Africa create atmosphere
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
A headache is getting the word out, advertising to the outside world from Zimbabwe with our very poor communication system. We really need help in this area, getting people to see our website and what we have to offer. We don't have cash spare for huge advertising.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Getting clients
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Word of mouth so far but its not fast enough or good enough please will you promote our website???
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It an eye opener, quite time consuming
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
We have only been up and running for 10 days so far
Replace this with a question of your own
How are you going to improve on your advertising?
We are hoping that you will advise us and assist us PLEASE in getting our wonderful product marketed out there in the big wide world and who knows you might end up with a free Safari with us DEAL?
