Safari.com gets 5 stars because I found…
Safari.com gets 5 stars because I found it easy to navigate all the information and details all packaged in a way that helped me select the type of experience I was wanting to gift my spouse for his birthday. Shann was the person who responded when I inquired about this Safari.com option that I was interested in. My preferred days were available and I was able to move forward with my decision because Shann would immediately answer my questions and concerns. Thank you Shann for representing Safari.com with your amazing customer service and attention.
