Ker & Downey Safaris
75 years of safari heritage, elevated digitally
The challenge
Founded over 75 years ago, Ker & Downey Safaris is a prestigious safari outfitter renowned for its luxury camping and top-end lodge safaris across East Africa. Their services include immersive wildlife experiences, high-end accommodation, and personalised itineraries tailored to discerning clients worldwide.
Despite their esteemed reputation, Ker & Downey Safaris faced a significant challenge: their digital presence was outdated and failed to showcase their extensive range of services and unique offerings effectively. The website was difficult to navigate and did not reflect the high standard and luxury experience that the company is known for. This not only impacted user engagement but also hindered their ability to attract and convert potential clients.
To address these issues, Ker & Downey Safaris sought to rejuvenate their online presence with a comprehensive website redesign. The goal was to create a digital platform that would not only be visually appealing and easy to navigate but also serve as a powerful tool for illustrating their wide array of services, thereby driving more business to the company.
Additionally, Ker & Downey Safaris aimed to integrate their rich heritage and conservation efforts prominently into the digital experience, ensuring that potential clients could fully appreciate the unique value and impact of their safari adventures. The new website needed to seamlessly combine stunning visuals, engaging content, and intuitive navigation to reflect the brand's excellence and attract a global audience of discerning travellers.
“Boost understood what we were looking for, and the end result was what we wanted.”

The Solution
Strategic website redesign
Boost was recommended to Ker & Downey Safaris due to our innovative ideas that aligned with the company's vision for moving forward. The scope of work included taking the existing website and redeveloping it to showcase the products offered by the company. The goal was to make the website easy to navigate, fresh, and appealing, ultimately driving more business to Ker & Downey Safaris.
UX and UI Overhaul
Through a website audit and user testing, we analysed the user journey and identified areas for improvement. We then redesigned the user interface and created a visually appealing, easy-to-nagivate site that perfectly embodies Ker & Downey Safaris' high-end safari offering.
Content and SEO optimisation
We restructured the website's content to highlight the unique experiences Ker & Downey Safaris offers. We also optimised the content with researched keywords to improve search engine visibility and attract more qualified traffic.
Innovative technology
Webflow CMS integration
Leveraging the power and flexibility of the Webflow platform, we designed and developed a website that is visually stunning, function-rich and user friendly. The Webflow CMS means Ker & Downey Safaris can easily manage and update their website without relying on external developers for ongoing maintenance.
As a result, Ker & Downey Safaris now have complete control over their digital presence, ensuring they're able to keep their content fresh and relevant.
An elevated digital presence - and an empowered client
The collaboration with Boost resulted in a transformed digital presence for Ker & Downey Safaris that effectively showcases their brand's services and expertise.
The new website not only improved user engagement and search engine rankings but also reinforces the brand's position as a premier safari outfitter.
By leveraging Webflow, Ker & Downey Safaris could now manage their website independently, which reduces ongoing maintenance costs and ensures long term sustainability.
This project showcases how a strategic approach to UX, UI, SEO and web development can elevate a company's online presence and drive business growth.
