We haven't yet been on the Safari but 5 for the booking process!
We haven't yet been on the Safari, we have just completed the booking process. That alone has been overwhelming as there are so many different options, after a lot of enquiries and comparisons, Monique Plaatjies from Safari.Com made it all so easy for us to decide. She was so quick to respond, included everything for us and was very patient with the many questions we had.
