I have not completed my trip yet but I wanted to leave this review anyway for DOROTHY who has been nothing short of amazing helping me plan the trip of a lifetime. From the minute we started our conversation she has been very patient, courteous and helpful. Her customer service skills are excellent and her thoughtful recommendations have made me feel at ease every step of the way. If this is a reflection of how the trip will be than I am beyond excited already to enjoy it! Thank you, Dorothy!

It was a great experience dealing with Shann. She was most accommodating and patient. We managed to sort things out very eventually. The only sore point I have is the 2 % surcharge for the card handling fee, which I find too excessive. Otherwise, I am pleased with everything.

Keith went above and beyond expectations arranging our holiday safari travels (for one vegan and one mobility-impaired traveller, no less:-). Safari.com is lucky to have Keith on board. He helped us feel confident in our choices, keeping us up to date with options, and finessing holiday scheduling issues with aplomb.
