Customer success story: Luxury-safari.travel

Meet Oscar Haartman, Founder and Owner of Luxury-safari.travel, in our latest customer success story. Based in the Netherlands, the company specializes in personalized African safari experiences, offering unforgettable adventures that highlight Africa’s diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultures.

The challenge

With a supplier base mainly requiring payments in USD or ZAR and flexible contract terms, Luxury-safari.travel faced significant challenges with traditional banking solutions. Given that customers typically book safaris well in advance, providing competitive quotes and accurate offers required constant monitoring of prices and FX rates, especially since customer and supplier payments often occur up to a year after the initial quote.

The solution

amnis’ flexible forward contracts have become an essential part of Luxury-safari.travel’s dynamic currency management strategy. Moreover, the digital nature of the amnis platform allows for effortless self-service, enhancing operational efficiency significantly. For Haartman, the amnis multi-currency account has also been a game-changer: «In our experience, accounts in local currencies are indispensable for catering to our international clientele.»

  • Fair & dynamic hedging: Luxury-safari.travel profits from agile fx hedging and fair exchange rates, thanks to convenient value date adjustments and amnis’ transparent handling of forward points.

  • Convenient forwards: The switch to amnis eliminated high upfront deposits, enhancing their flexibility and making forward trades, even in small batches, more accessible for the company.

  • Shareable payment tracking: With public tracking links, Haartman can share the real-time status with suppliers and instantly confirm that the payment is on its way, fostering trust and reliability.

  • Multi-currency cards: The global debit card allows the safari provider to issue cards to travel groups while keeping control and transparency over the budget, limits and usage.

«The debit card is that little extra that stands out when offering and planning such trips,» concludes Haartman.
