A proposal for the new scenicairsafaris.com, by WRK.

The flying,first.

You fly the best private safaris in East Africa. Your website doesn’t let anyone book one. We’ll fix that in 11 weeks, and make the flying the first thing people see.

In short.Four phases, one team, live in 11 weeks. Fix what’s broken this week, build a site around the private flying safari, sharpen the identity alongside it, then tell the trade and your past guests.

1.0What we learned

We went through every page of your website, your market and 20 competitor sites. Each finding below changed what we’re proposing.

What welearned.

What we found
What we’ll do
Every “Book Now” button on your eight safaris links nowhere, and there is no enquiry form on the site. Requests go to a mail client or get lost.
A single “Plan your trip” flow with four short forms (safari, charter, trade, question), WhatsApp on every page and every enquiry logged.
Your site’s security certificate is incomplete. Search engines and AI assistants fail to load most pages.
Fixed in week one, before anything else.
From 27 September 2026, EU law bans “carbon-neutral” claims based on offsets. Your site makes that claim.
New wording that tells guests what you actually fund in the Chyulu Hills, which is more convincing anyway.
Only one of eight safaris shows a price. SkySafari, your closest rival, publishes full rate tables; no aircraft operator at Wilson does.
“From” prices on every safari, for 2, 4 and 6 guests, with what’s included. You become the operator who’s open about price.
Nobody else sells a private flying safari in their own aircraft, with their own named pilots, across ten countries.
That becomes the headline: “Your own plane. Your own pilot.” Everything else supports it.
Five offers (safaris, charter, shared seats, JetConnect, Execufly) compete on your home page, two on separate sites.
One brand, one hero product, four clearly labelled supporting lines.
Agents like cazenove+loyd already sell you, but the site has nothing for them.
A travel trade area with rates, white-label itineraries and an image library behind a login.
Your real assets are invisible: Murtaza’s 9,600 hours, 35 five-star TripAdvisor reviews, the Telegraph and Robb Report coverage, Torben’s conservation work.
Pilots, reviews, press and conservation become the trust layer on every page.
Day-by-day itineraries sit in PDFs, and one live page still shows placeholder text.
Itineraries become structured content on the page; the PDF is generated from it, so they never drift apart.
The “Calculate Now” fare estimator says “Coming Soon”.
We build it as a follow-on add-on with your Kenya route prices, starting with the Caravan and the C206.
2.0The plan

Four phases, one team, live in 11 weeks. Phase 2 runs alongside the website: the typography and colour decisions are made early for the site, then written up as guidelines and carried into brochures and trade material.

Fourphases.

Phase 0 · Week 1
Stabilise

Fix what’s broken on the current site this week.

Phase 1 · Weeks 1–11
Website

A new scenicairsafaris.com built around the private flying safari.

Phase 2 · Weeks 3–10
Identity

A light refresh: sharper type, colour and icons, and a guide so everything matches.

Phase 3 · Weeks 11–15
Launch

Tell the trade and your past guests, and start paid search on the new pages.

Phase 0 — Stabilise
1

This week, before anything else.

Week 1

Small fixes with an outsized effect, done on your current site.

  • Install the missing intermediate certificate so search engines and AI assistants can read every page.
  • Replace every “Book Now” #! link with a working enquiry link and add a basic enquiry form.
  • Remove the placeholder text on the Ultimate Across Africa page.
  • Update the “carbon-neutral” wording on Flying Green and Shared seats.
  • Publish a basic privacy notice and fix the dead Terms and Privacy links.
  • Hide the “Coming Soon” calculator link until it’s real.
2

What you get

A list of changes made, with before and after screenshots.

3.0Website

A site that sells the flying. About 15 templates and 45 pages, written, designed, built and launched.

Phase 1:website.

Phase 1 — Website
1

Strategy and structure

  • Sitemap and page priorities (already drafted from our research)
  • Wireframes for home, safari list, itinerary, charter, fleet, trade and enquiry pages
  • Content model for itineraries, aircraft, destinations, people and press
2

Words

  • All English copy for ~45 pages, in a clear voice you sign off: specific, calm, never superlative
  • 8 itinerary pages rewritten, with day-by-day on the page and prices by group size and season
  • 8 destination pages, FAQs, charter guide, trade pages, microcopy and form helper text
  • SEO titles and descriptions for every page
3

Design

  • Design direction and three home page concepts, then one chosen route
  • Full designs for every template, desktop and mobile
  • Interactive route map, aircraft cards, price tables, day-by-day timeline
4

Build

  • Fast, secure site on a modern stack with a CMS your team can edit
  • Structured itineraries with auto-generated PDFs
  • Enquiry forms routed to the right person and logged in your CRM
  • Travel trade area with login, rates, image library and PDFs
  • WhatsApp and click-to-call on mobile
  • Analytics with consent, privacy and cookie notices
  • SEO migration: every existing URL kept or redirected, so the Telegraph and Robb Report links still land
5

Photography

With a partner photographer
  • 4-day shoot on a real safari rotation: your own aircraft on the strip and in the air, cabins, pilot and team portraits, aerials
  • ~150 edited images and short video loops, licensed for web, print and trade use
6

Charter fare estimator

Follow-on add-on

Pick two airstrips, choose the aircraft, see an estimate for the whole plane, then request a quote. Starts with your Kenya routes, Caravan and C206.

4.0Identity & launch

Keep the name and the story. Sharpen everything around them. Then tell the people who already sell you, then the people who’ll book you.

Identityand launch.

Phase 2 — Identity
1

A refresh, not a rebrand.

Weeks 3–10
  • Logo refinement: cleaner lock-up, legible on sky and on dark, favicon and app icon
  • Typography: a characterful serif for headlines, a clear sans for everything else
  • Colour: warm paper, savanna ochre, night navy, one accent for the main button
  • Icon set (~30): aircraft, luggage, flight time, seats, borders, wildlife, conservation
  • Photography style guide: what a Scenic Air picture looks like, and what it never does
  • Brand guidelines (~20 pages) your team and partners can use
  • Templates: itinerary PDF, trade rate sheet, email signature, proposal cover
  • Sub-brand rules for Scenic Wilderness, JetConnect and Execufly
Phase 3 — Launch campaign
1

Trade launch

Weeks 11–15

Email template and three sends to your agent and DMC list (only contacts who agreed to hear from you), plus a new trade brochure PDF.

2

Past guests

A “new routes, new site” email to guests who opted in.

3

Social kit

20 launch assets for Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, sized and captioned.

4

Paid search

Google Ads and Meta set-up for your priority safaris and charter routes, with conversion tracking to the enquiry forms (ad spend billed by the platforms, not by us).

5

Press note

A one-page release for travel editors on the new site and published prices.

6

30-day review

What enquiries came in, from where, and what to change.
