You really only find out about good service when something goes wrong!
After an initial glitch in not receiving an email following an enquiry (might have been my end!!), once I was connected with Shann it was very good service. She offered many options and was very attentive and polite. We had a few issues arranging payment with my credit card caused by my bank but Shann patiently offered help and options until it all went through. Very happy with the service.

It was very easy and convenient for me to use Safari.com. I was very well assisted — they helped me book the flights, complete the payment, and choose the best safari according to my budget and main goals. So far, everything has been going very well.
