What our guests say about Candis

2nd trip through Safari.com
Candis Cloete was great to work with. We had so many requirements for our 3rd trip to Kruger. She met all our expectations and we are so excited for our trip to Sabi Sands May, 2026. We had a hiccup with the payment system, but their Finance Manager, Kelly, got involved and then immediately confirmed receipt of our payment. This is our second trip with Safari.com and we would recommend them to anyone wanting to book a safari.
