Amazing support by Shann
We booked a very last minute trip but Shann Shaw really helped us and made sure we ended up with a solid itinerary before our departure. She was always available, presented multiple options catering to all our needs and budget, and even got us a discount. I feel very confident that we'll have an amazing time and it's all thanks to her and the team at safari.com!

Shann has been working with me for over…
Shann has been working with me for over 3 months trying to find the type of safari experience I want to share with my two grown sons. She was professional and great to work with as she always found alternate lodges for me to consider. Maps, locations, travel distances, safety features when requested were sent. When I had problems with paper work, she called and solved them. I now have the safari that is worthy of her efforts and kindness.
