Lodges around Nanyuki get the same questions after midnight: rates, transfer from Nanyuki airstrip, children, and whether Ol Pejeta is included. An AI chatbot can answer those if you feed it your real policy—not a generic travel script.
Start with content, not a widget
Chatbots fail when the site has no rates page, no directions, and no house rules. Publish those first. Then the bot can point to them instead of guessing.
Good uses
- Directing guests to booking, WhatsApp, or a human for group quotes.
- Answering FAQs you already printed at reception.
- Capturing name, dates, and party size before staff come online.
Poor uses
Letting the bot invent room availability, confirm payments, or promise a complimentary game drive. Connect live inventory only through a proper channel manager—or keep the bot in “FAQ + handoff” mode.
WhatsApp still matters
Many Kenyan guests will ignore a site chat and tap WhatsApp. Pair a simple bot with a labelled WhatsApp business number and a human who replies in business hours. Fraittech builds lodge sites with clear enquiry paths and can advise on chatbot vs. form vs. WhatsApp for your occupancy mix. Request a quotation.
