Safari.com is excellent!
Working with Safari.com has been efficient and pleasant. I reached out with an email and received a fairly quick reply. Narine was an excellent agent who worked through my interests and needs. She was able to recommend places to stay and made trip packages easily and promptly. She also gave other extra information for my travel that was very helpful. She even quickly adjusted my travel package when I needed to make a change. I would highly recommend Safari and Narine. I look forward to my trip!
