Why properties switch.

The value should be obvious fast: faster replies, clearer room control, and cleaner trade pricing.

11 PM enquiry. 9 AM reply.

Your competitors with AI reply instantly. You reply tomorrow and lose the room.

Availability lives in 4 places.

Spreadsheets, emails, WhatsApp, your head. One room question should not take 10 minutes.

Rack or nett? Who knows?

Rate control without a system leaks margin and slows trade replies.

Your 24/7 Reservations Desk.

One System. Two Channels.

Direct guests and trade partners need different rate logic. Simbas keeps both flows clean without splitting your team across tools.

Direct Guests

Web chat, rack rates, guest profile in CRM, and post-stay feedback.

Trade Partners

WhatsApp and web, nett rates, and partner profiles with rate control.

Guest journey.

From midnight enquiry to post-stay feedback, every touchpoint stays managed.

Your AI Never Goes on Game Drive.

It handles enquiries during game drives, load shedding, public holidays, and across every time zone. A 12-room lodge does not need a 24/7 reservations desk. It needs Simbas.

More than replies.

Simbas also covers guest operations, bookings, partner context, and property itinerary output without adding more systems.

"Simbas.ai is not replacing human connection. It is protecting it."

Travel partners get instant access to rates, experiences, and property information without waiting for office hours.

FAQ.

How does the AI know our property?

It learns from your uploaded rate sheets, policies, and brochures. Answers stay tied to your property documents instead of generic travel copy.

Can we control what the AI says?

Yes. Your team controls the source documents, rate logic, and escalation rules. You decide when the AI should answer and when staff should step in.

What if the AI cannot answer?

The conversation moves into the shared team inbox. Staff can take over the same thread without losing the guest or trade context.

How does this work with our PMS?

Simbas PMS gives the cleanest live availability experience. If you are not ready to switch, AI Concierge and AI Chat can still work from your uploaded property documents.

How quickly can we go live?

Properties can usually launch the concierge the same day. The PMS is designed to be live in about 15 minutes, not six months.

How does rate access work for trade partners?

Trade profiles store the partner relationship and assigned rate logic. Advisors automatically see the right nett rate while direct guests see rack pricing.
