The challenge

A reopening needs a new identity and a way to book

Formerly the Mayfair, the resort reopened as Mafuramhepo with chalets, boat cruises, fishing, team-building and dining. It needed a site that showed off the setting near Great Zimbabwe, took booking requests from guests at home and abroad, and worked on the channels local guests actually use.

The brief

Photo-led, booking-first, mobile-first

Let the shoreline and chalets do the talking with full-width photography, put a booking form on the homepage and a Book Now button everywhere, structure the offer into chalets, experiences, dining and long stays, and make WhatsApp and phone one tap away.
