I am ranking a 3 because I truly…
I am ranking a 3 because I truly thought the experience was average. I ended up doing more research on my own, so that I knew I had the “best option for me”. My person provided cost estimates which was probably the hardest thing for me to find on my own, so having that as a resource was nice. I feel like safari.com is for those who don’t know how to research or search at all… in the end I’m happy that I have a vacation booked, but I don’t feel secure knowing I paid 50% and I don’t hear back from them for over 6 months… I feel like there should be a relationship that continues. I also felt like my person did not listen to my feedback when I said the itinerary they sent was VERY confusing to read. I had to make my own and send it to them via email to verify I understood correctly.
