Knows 8-Day Fly-In Ultra-Lux Botswana Safari backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.

"I cannot recommend Anja Meyer at Safari.com enough. This is our 3rd trip in 2 years that we have planned with Anja and we cannot imagine using any other travel planner. As travelers who deliberately seek experiences that go beyond the expected, and a bit of luxury that feels authentic, every single trip that we have booked with Anya has been a complex, multi country itinerary- we are definitely not easy to plan for. What sets Anja apart from other travel planners (and we have used several planners from top agencies) is her ability to partner with us and truly understand our preferences, pace and unspoken/ unwritten requirements. We would be remiss if we didn't mention her work ethic - she is incredibly responsive despite major time differences (I don't think she sleeps :) ). The results are always extraordinary journeys that feel very tailored to us. This most recent trip planned with Anja will take us across Namibia, Botswana and Mauritius - we can't wait!!"
