Excellent and pro-active service
Contacted safari.com and they (Denise) quickly responded to discuss plans. Took away requirements and within a short time came back with a proposed and costed itinerary. Based on this I made a few changes that were quickly incorporated and a final proposal that met all of my initial and revised requirements was produced and agreed - all flights and reservations were made and confirmed within 24 hours of the confirmation and deposit. They also provided insurance cover as part of the package. Considering the complexity of the trip (multiple countries, locations, flights etc) this was an easy process and as a seasoned traveller I was very impressed and happy with the service

Denise was so great and tentative! We have yet to go on our safari but the set up process was seamless and she managed to help us stick to our budget.
