Helpful, proactive, and no sales pressure
I initially contacted Anja for a price on a specific hotel, which I’m now going ahead with, but what really impressed me was how much genuine interest she took in the rest of my trip. She offered thoughtful advice and additional quotes, and was completely relaxed about me using other providers where that made sense. At no point did I feel any pressure. She even went above and beyond by proactively phoning and chasing another travel provider on my behalf while I was waiting for a response — despite there being no commission in it for her. It was clear that her priority was making sure I had the best possible holiday, not simply closing a sale. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely customer-focused. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anja to anyone planning a safari or a South Africa trip.

Extremely helpful booking agent
We reached out to several booking companies for assistance with our trip. Anja at safari.com was by far the most responsive and helpful. She managed to be available at all hours even with a 9 hour time difference. She gracefully put up with all of our questions and changes and helped us design a fantastic safari package.
