We are exprienced world travellers, but when it came to booking a safari, after a bit of research we realized we were out of our league with the logistics. Shaan Shaw at Safari.com listened closely to our needs and intrests, and quickly responded to all of our questions, efficietly putting together the package for a fly-in safari of our dreams at nearly half the price of other luxury groups! Her strong communicatioin skills, creative problem solving, experience and attentiveness have are refreshing attributes and it has been a delight to work with her.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
