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.
