# The best PMS for safari and tented camps.

A camp of 8 to 20 tents sells almost every night through tour operators, often at all-inclusive rates with activities. The PMS must handle tents as rooms, agent net rates, net rates and conservancy fees. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best PMS for safari and tented camps?**
The best property management system (PMS) for safari and tented camps covers reservations, rates and seasons, the room planner, check-in and check-out, guest folios, housekeeping and the night audit, and handles what is specific to safari and tented camps: tents, bandas and family units as room types; all-inclusive and full-board rates with activities as extras; agent net rates on the booking; conservancy fees per person per night. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.

## What safari and tented camps need

A camp of 8 to 20 tents sells almost every night through tour operators, often at all-inclusive rates with activities. The PMS must handle tents as rooms, agent net rates, net rates and conservancy fees.

- Tents, bandas and family units as room types
- All-inclusive and full-board rates with activities as extras
- Agent net rates on the booking
- Conservancy fees per person per night

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any property management system (PMS) for a safari camp should have:

| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| Room types, rate plans with seasons and meal plans | ✓ |
| A drag-and-drop planner that refuses double bookings | ✓ |
| Single and group bookings with source, agent and reference | ✓ |
| Check-in with guest ID, room moves and check-out | ✓ |
| Folios with deposits, extras and split billing | ✓ |
| Housekeeping status shared with reception | ✓ |
| A night audit with occupancy, ADR and RevPAR | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |

## Why it should be part of one system

When the PMS is joined to the accounts and stores, every night posted at the audit is already revenue, every bar bill charged to a tent is already on the folio, and check-out produces an invoice that the payment matches.

## What it costs a safari camp

At a typical safari camp the people who log in are the camp manager, reservations, storekeeper, bar and the office accountant: 5 users, $65 a month or $624 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).

## PMS for safari and tented camps: questions

### Can a PMS handle tents instead of rooms?

Yes. Each tent is a room of a tent type with its own rate plan, capacity and seasons.

### Is the PMS included in Tivuzo's price?

Yes. Every module is included for $13 per user per month; there are no add-ons and no fees per room.

### Does Tivuzo work for small safari and tented camps?

Yes. A safari camp pays only for the people who log in; switch on modules as you need them.

### Does Tivuzo work with weak internet?

The restaurant and bar tills sell offline and sync later; the rest needs a connection, and light use works on mobile data.

### What does Tivuzo not do yet?

No live channel manager, booking engine, door-lock integration, payroll or country e-invoicing links.
