Lindi Weeks did a great job for us
Lindi Weeks did a great job for us. She found exactly the right game park and lodge to meet our expectations and also arranged hotels, restaurants and another week of activities for us in and around Cape Town. She was informed, friendly and attentive to our interests and concerns. Could not have done better.

Victoria Falls booking with Lindi Weeks and Safari.com
Even though it was a popular time of the season, Lindi was able to find and secure the perfect accommodation and experiences we wished. The itinerary provided and email responses were very elaborate and detailed. The cost was a bit more than expected though you cannot have the perfect expectations without some pain. Safari.com booking and payment process has been seamless; we now look forward to the tour at Victoria Falls being the same.
