PlanRez vs SafariFlow
SafariFlow is a Kenyan all-in-one platform for safari DMCs covering itineraries, fleet, vouchers, accounting, HR and agent portals. PlanRez is a lighter, flat-priced back-office for tour, safari and lodge operators. The choice comes down to how much you need — and want to pay for.
The short verdict
Choose SafariFlow if you are a growing DMC that wants accounting, payroll, supplier contract pricing, agent portals and driver apps in one system and can budget $79–$399/month. Choose PlanRez if you want bookings, dispatch, itineraries, invoices and WhatsApp for your whole team at $15/month flat, without quotation or customer limits.
