Great Company
Shann was awesome in helping organise our trip. The company was very patient with my inept husbands ability to transfer the funds in the correct currency- we are really looking forward to our upcoming trip

10/10 experience
Shann from Safari.com was very friendly and so helpful. She gave me a range of options for a last minute safari and also transfers from Johannesburg and onwards to Cape Town which took away any stress. I would definitely use Safari.com again.

Safari tour in South Africa
I found the website on-line and compared the proposals with two other on-line companies. Safari.Com was able to provide us with a full tour as requested and at very competitive rates. The online service provided by their representative Shann Shaw was excellent and her knowledge invaluable to someone who has never been to South Africa.
