Safari. com has wonderful experts like Shann to make your dream trip a reality
Working with Shann from Safari.com has been a blessing! Knowing that we had someone to basically hold our hands through the process of planning a booking a dream trip to Africa was very reassuring. She knew our goals and listened to our ideas to help make everything work as we were imagining. I especially appreciated how she was always quick to respond with communications. I think Safari.com puts together some amazing itineraries, but customizing any trip is their specialty. Shann knows Africa and has taken care of the details to create a custom itinerary to make the vision we have become reality. We can't wait to take our trip.
