Presentation-safe demo This build never claims to contain Mabula's real bookings or desk rates. Demo availability and demo pricing only appear after you deliberately load them.

Start exactly like a real check-in day

No game-drive availability is loaded.

In real use, Mabula staff would enter the current capacity and seats already committed through the existing pre-booking process. For the presentation, choose Add demo info to simulate that morning staff step.

HOW
Mabula keeps its existing pre-booking process.

Staff records each drive's total capacity and how many seats are already committed elsewhere. Once saved, new arrival bookings reduce availability automatically. Demo presets below are presentation data only.

Presentation presets

Each preset simulates the numbers staff would have entered before check-ins.

Price book · per person, per drive

Set the rates once — totals calculate automatically

Enter the exact current reception rates for adults, pensioners and children. A blank rate is treated as not configured, while R0 can be used for an included/free category.

Pricing not configured
Pensioner rate check: Mabula's public 2026 activity rate sheet lists adult and child rates, but does not publish a pensioner category. BushTime also tells guests to confirm current prices with the reception/Wildlife Desk. This demo therefore never invents a pensioner rate — staff must enter the actual current rate before live use.

Official Mabula Game Lodge activity sheet: rates valid until 31 December 2026. It does not list a pensioner rate, and standard twice-daily lodge safaris are included in the published accommodation packages rather than priced on this activity sheet.
