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!

Excellent Pre-Trip Planning and Booking Assistance
We have not yet done the trip, but the planning process working with Safari.com has gone very smoothly. The agent who worked with me listened to my interests and requirements and proposed an itinerary that meets those needs perfectly. She was professional and responsive despite the 9-hour time difference between us. I would not hesitate to engage Safari.com again for future trips to South Africa.
