RETURN Africa website
Three properties, one story: unifying RETURN Africa’s digital presence
We transformed three disconnected hospitality websites into one immersive digital experience, placing agents at the forefront while celebrating 10 years of African heritage and land stewardship.
The brief
RETURN Africa approached us at a pivotal moment: their 10-year anniversary. Over a decade, they had grown from a single safari camp to a portfolio spanning three distinct properties – Pafuri Collection in the Kruger, and Welgelegen House and An African Story in Cape Town. Each acquisition had brought its own website, its own voice, its own visual identity.
This fragmented digital presence undermined the very philosophy that united these properties: a deep love of origin, heritage, and the land that sustains us.
They needed more than a website redesign. They needed a digital home that honoured their journey whilst simplifying the agent experience – without losing the warmth that makes RETURN Africa distinctive.
Where heritage meets hospitality
Strategy-led architecture
We began with workshops that uncovered the real pain points for the client and their B2B relationships. By making the agent experience seamless, we've strengthened the commercial engine that sustains their conservation and community work across two provinces.
Design that tells stories
We crafted modular templates that flex between bush, coast, and urban properties whilst maintaining visual coherence. Each accommodation page showcases custom amenity icons, immersive galleries, and video heroes – letting each property’s personality breathe within a unified brand framework.
Future-proof foundations
Perhaps most importantly, we built for independence. The site architecture means the RETURN Africa team can add properties, update rates, and publish stories without calling a developer. This new site marks not just a digital milestone but a celebration of ten years of African hospitality – and the foundation for the next ten.
