Book your trip with Mel at Safari.com!
I had the most amazing experience with Mel helping to plan the trip of a lifetime for us to Africa! I had struggled to get responses or clear advice from several other travel agencies and was trying to piece together an itinerary myself. Mel was a breath of fresh air, promptly offering to help plan our entire trip. We had a full itinerary mapped out within a day, which we requested some tweaks to and these were easily accommodated. And Mel reassured us and put our concerns around safety and comfort at bay with her incredible first hand knowledge of the destinations.

Super star Mel
Mel our booking agent has been absolutely fantastic. Nothing has been too much trouble for her no matter what time of day & how big or small our enquiry has been. She was brilliant when having to relocate us from Kruger due to the flooding, it was seamless from our end.

Booking through Safari.com
Your travel consultant, Mel de Toit was excellent. She was prompt, efficient, friendly and helpful. The only confusing thing was the 2% merchant charge. It actually turned out to be a charge of close to 4% even when using ZAR currency as instructed when booking.
