Reviews

"The most amazing experience from booking to the trip itself. From inception, my experience was great. Giada was my travel agent and she tailored my trip to perfectly match my tastes. There were different types of accommodation provided yet all of a high standard. The safaris were amazing and I saw most of the big 5. All in all a fantastic milestone birthday vacation well executed and enjoyed! I would recommend Safari.com without reservation and Giada in particular."

"First time and it was lovely The whole experience was great once I pinned down my booking as this time of year was very busy. The transport was great, the accommodations were a nice surprise and the people were friendly and helpful. I also thought that it was very reasonable. It couldn't have been a more perfect fit for my Safari wishes. Thank you."
