Keith Chideme was exceptionally responsive and helpful in the booking process
Keith Chideme was exceptionally responsive during my booking process. He does not seem to sleep since he'd respond within minutes, even late at night and on weekends. We spoke on phone at length a few times too and he's very friendly and helpful. He arranged a wonderful safari for us and I can't wait for the trip!

I cannot recommend booking with…
I cannot recommend booking with Safari.com. I had an emergency arise and needed to change the booking (just 24 hours after I paid in full) and was refused any solutions. I have now paid in full for a safari that I did not take, nor did they do any work to schedule. Book with caution or not at all.
