Safari Specialist - Southern Africa
Knows Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.
With Anja and Jolene across the team.
"My husband and I had the trip of a lifetime visiting South Africa; Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe; and a day trip the Chobe National Park in Botswana. Our agent, Darren Robertson, and his colleagues were exceptional with everything from planning and budgeting to execution. Darren was very responsive before & during the trip. He sent us itinerary reminders for flights, and just let us know he was available for any question or situation. I highly recommend safari.com & especially Darren. Thank you for a memorable and exciting adventure!"
