Derek Dames Safari
An immersive website for a legendary Kenyan safari guide — capturing the magic of the African bush and converting international visitors into booking enquiries.
Bringing the African bush online
Derek Dames is a legendary Kenyan safari guide offering bespoke wildlife experiences. He needed a website that would capture the magic of the African bush and convert international visitors into booking enquiries.
The site needed to tell the story of decades of safari expertise, showcase the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Kenya, and provide a seamless path from inspiration to enquiry for visitors from around the world.
An immersive storytelling experience
We built an immersive Drupal site using full-width safari photography, storytelling content layout and a streamlined enquiry/booking flow. The site is optimised for international visitors with fast load times globally.
The design lets the photography do the heavy lifting — with full-bleed hero images, parallax scrolling and carefully paced content that guides visitors through safari itineraries before presenting a clear call to action for booking enquiries.
