The Private Game Reserves and Lodges Directory

People who are planning safaris actually want to see what a lodge looks like, and what features it has, before they book it.

Private Game Reserves and Lodges at www.privategamereservesandlodges.com is a unique web site, designed in the form of an on-line page turning publication that enables you to advertise your game reserve or lodge using a double page spread of images and information. Go and have a look at our “dummy” issue and you will very quickly get the idea.

Your entry should include any features you want your guests to know about, as they can find them by entering a search. Your postcode/town will link to your location in MultiMap.com and if they want to book, your web address will link to your web site or your secure booking form. If they want to print information specifically about your lodge, they can do so, or they can download the entire web site “publication” as a PDF.
The web site “publication” is updated every month to include new entries from game reserves and lodges, or to allow existing entries to be updated.

Main Features and Benefits:
• 2 page spread entry for each game reserve or lodge consisting of  up to 4 images [one of which is a full page], description of the main features, contact details [with links to main web site or secure booking form], and link from your postcode/town to your location via MultiMap.com
•  The unique page turning format can be searched by Google and other leading search engines.
• It’s environmentally friendly. Readers can simply print off the pages they are interested in, or they can download the entire publication as a PDF.
• It can be shared with friends/colleagues.
• It includes a zoom facility to see clear detail on each page.
• It includes a content overview.
• The web site itself is fully searchable so any words used in an entry will help it to be found and readers can “jump” to a specific page.
• New entries are added every month and existing entries can be updated every month.

Advertisers Information
The normal rate to advertise your game reserve or lodge in a double page spread for 12 months is £250 plus VAT [under £5 per week!].
Typically, your two page entry will consist of one full page image, and another page on the right containing a selection of thumbnail images, general information on your game reserve or lodge and your contact details with email and web address links.
The publication is updated every month to include new entries, or to allow existing entries to be updated. If you want to update your entry at any time, we make a nominal £25 admin charge. Whilst an initial dummy issue is “live” on our site at www.privategamereservesandlodges.com NOW, the first “proper” issue is being published at the end of November 2008.
NB: The words you use in your advert can be used by readers to search, so if your lodge any special features, we’d recommend that you mention them as it will help your advert to be found by readers if they search for these specific features.
The publication/web site is promoted through all leading search engines and Google ad campaign. If you enter a search for variations of “private game reserves and lodges” you will find it, and we also plan to include the names of participating game reserves or lodges and their locations in the keywords that Internet users enter.
