Great Customer Experience
It was really nice to work with Shann from safari.com. Even on her days off, she patiently listened to all our requirements, provided good options at very short notice and tried to meet our budget. Her service and offers were the reason we went with her offer.

Dealing with Safari.Com has been a great experience
Dealing with Safari.Com has been a great travel experience so far. Shann in particular has been incredibly helpful and nothing has been too much trouble for her to deal with (not that there was more than the normal queries on some very minor details). We would highly recommend their services.
