I recently booked a trip to Simbavati…
I recently booked a trip to Simbavati Hilltop Lodge through Safari.com, and the service has been nothing short of exceptional. Although I haven’t gone on the trip yet, I felt compelled to share how seamless and stress-free the planning process has been. A special shout-out to Shann, who has been absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me craft the perfect getaway. Every question was answered promptly, every detail handled with care, and her recommendations gave me complete confidence that I’m in great hands. If the actual safari is anything like the service I’ve received so far, it’s going to be unforgettable. Highly recommend using Safari.com for anyone planning a luxury safari experience!
