Shann was extremely helpful in advising us and getting a great price for the Safari extension of our trip. She beat a price of the all inclusive trip and was able to extend our stay at Lion Sands Lodge an extra night. Wonderful service by Shann Shaw. Tahnk you.

Very easy to work with safari.com
Very easy to work with safari.com. We accidentally were working with two different reps, not realizing both were with the same company. We started with Dolan, who was very informative and easy to work with. We continued and confirmed our booking with Shann, who was very patient in the back-and-forth emails to get this trip booked. An African Safari has been a dream for decades, can’t wait until it becomes our reality!
