Real-Time Intelligence for Every Guest, Every Ride, Every Zone.

Safari AI connects to your existing cameras to deliver live occupancy, queue wait times, ride dispatch performance, and guest flow analytics. No construction, live in under two weeks.

What We Do

Turn every camera feed into a decision your team can act on.

Queue Wait Times

Real-time predicted wait times at every attraction, updated continuously.

  • Redeploy staff when queues spike
  • Open second lanes before lines spiral

Real-Time Occupancy

Live guest counts across every zone and the full park.

  • Redirect guests before a zone hits capacity
  • Trigger safety alerts at defined thresholds

Ride Dispatch Performance

Dispatch cycle times benchmarked against your targets, to the second.

  • Identify operators falling behind target intervals
  • Recover throughput the same day

Guest Journey Tracing

Full guest paths from entrance to exit, including dwell time per zone.

  • Activate programming to draw guests to underperforming zones
  • Find which attraction sequences drive highest satisfaction

Crowd Heatmapping

Density visualized on your park map across every zone, live.

  • Pinpoint bottlenecks before guests feel friction
  • Guide future F&B, retail, and entertainment investments

Throughput & Merge Ratio

Guests per hour per attraction and merge point efficiency across every queue.

  • Fix merge timing losing riders, adjust lane configuration
  • Maximize capacity without adding headcount
See the Dashboard

Every view your operations team needs, live.

From queue wait times to zone-by-zone occupancy, Safari AI surfaces the right data at the right moment — and tells your team exactly what to do.

Catch queue build-up early and act before guests notice.

Know exactly how long guests are waiting at every ride and food stand, updated continuously. When a threshold is breached, your team gets a specific action to take — not just a number to look at.

  • Per-attraction wait time with SLA thresholds and breach alerts
  • AI-recommended action dispatched directly to your ride leads
  • Suggested staffing redeployments when queues spike beyond target
  • Historical wait trend overlay to anticipate same-day patterns

Know when a zone is about to tip and move guests before it does.

Track crowd density in real time across every zone. When any area approaches capacity, Safari AI recommends specific interventions before density becomes a safety or satisfaction issue.

  • Color-coded zone tiles from green to red based on live density
  • Crowd redistribution recommendations pushed to guest-facing signage
  • Supervisor alerts with suggested rerouting actions at threshold breach
  • Hourly occupancy trend for proactive staffing decisions

Turn slow dispatch cycles into a coaching moment the same shift.

Track dispatch intervals at every attraction. When an operator's cycle slips, supervisors get an immediate, specific recommendation — not an end-of-day report they can't act on.

  • Dispatch interval to the second, flagged against your target
  • Shift-over-shift operator comparison for fair, data-backed coaching
  • Throughput recovery estimate shown alongside every flag
  • Auto-notification when interval exceeds target by 15%+

Staff your gate before the parking lot tells you it's too late.

Parking lot fill rates give you a 20–30 minute headstart on crowd loads. When inbound vehicle counts spike, your team gets a specific staffing recommendation before guests reach the entrance.

  • Real-time vehicle counts per lot to forecast gate queue spikes
  • Proactive staffing alerts when inbound rate exceeds thresholds
  • Overflow routing triggers pushed to dynamic signage when lots near capacity
  • Gate staff alerts 20–30 min before peak arrival hits

The Problem

Guessing is costing you throughput, revenue, and guest satisfaction.

Most parks still rely on end-of-day reports, manual headcounts, or gut feel. By the time a problem is identified, thousands of guests have already had a poor experience.

  • Queues build undetected until they've already become a problem
  • Operators run below dispatch targets with no real-time feedback
  • Parking data isn't connected to gate staffing or crowd forecasts
  • Reports arrive too late to influence same-day staffing decisions

Counting Accuracy

Validated against manual ground-truth counts at your deployment. If any camera view underperforms, we retune the model at no cost before you go live.

How It Works

Leverage your existing cameras. No construction. Live in under two weeks.

Step 01

Camera Review

We assess your existing CCTV or IP camera feeds remotely. Compatible views proceed; any incompatible ones are flagged before any commitment.

Step 02

On-Prem Deployment

A compact server is installed on-site and connected to your camera streams. All video is processed locally. Nothing leaves your network.

Step 03

Calibrate & Go Live

Models are validated against manual counts at your location. Once accuracy is confirmed, you're live with real-time dashboards and API access from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is Safari AI's footfall counting?

Safari AI delivers 99%+ accuracy on pedestrian and footfall counts across indoor and outdoor environments. Accuracy is validated against manual ground-truth counts during deployment. If a camera view underperforms, we retune the model to your specific environment before you go live, at no additional cost.

Do I need to replace my cameras to use Safari AI?

No. Safari AI works with the CCTV and IP cameras you already have. No rip-and-replace, no construction, no re-wiring. An on-premise server is installed to process video locally; your existing camera infrastructure stays exactly as it is.

How long does Safari AI deployment take?

Most customers are live within days to a few weeks. After a camera compatibility review, we install the on-prem server, connect camera feeds, calibrate the models, and validate accuracy against your baselines before going live.

Can Safari AI handle high-density crowds?

Yes. Safari AI is built for high-density venues — theme parks, NBA and NHL arenas, outlet centers, and stadium concourses. Models handle occlusion, overlapping visitors, and non-linear movement that defeats traditional beam-break sensors. Clients include LEGOLAND, Charlotte Hornets, and Calgary Flames.

Can Safari AI integrate with Tableau, Power BI, Snowflake, or our POS?

Yes. Footfall counts and analytics are available via live dashboards, scheduled exports, and a REST API. You can pipe data into Tableau, Power BI, Snowflake, your POS, or any internal system. Most customers run Safari AI alongside existing BI and RevOps workflows.

How does Safari AI pricing work?

Pricing is per-camera and scales with the number of cameras, sites, and measurement types. Pedestrian counts, occupancy, dwell time, queue wait time, and more can be layered on the same feeds. A free 30-day pilot with no credit card required is available so you can validate accuracy and ROI before committing.
