Wonderful Pre-Travel Experience with Zené!
Our trip to South Africa is coming up next week, and working with Zené to plan it has been an absolute pleasure! She has created a beautifully personalized itinerary for us, from Cape Town and Victoria Falls to a luxury lodge in Kruger Park, and has organized every detail with care. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and helpful travel tips (shared through a WhatsApp group!) have made planning stress-free and exciting. It already feels like working with a friend who truly wants our trip to be perfect!

Itinerary Booked - Yet to Travel - But So Far 100%!
Zene Devine at Safari.com was so helpful and such a pleasure to deal with at putting our family holiday together. With her expertise & knowledge, she easily got the gist of our budget and preferances and offered detailed, wonderful options for our upcoming trip to Sth Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. I have always travelled independently, but this time (with family en tow) I feel a real assurance that Zene will be there for support & guidance throughout our trip if needed.
