This company is like a hidden gem- so worth it!
This is not the first time I have dealt with this company. And I return with good reason. They are efficient and professional. They listen to what you want, and search until they can help you achieve whatever your goal was. I have dealt with Dolan many times. This time Anja helped me. I have only good things to say.

Anja and safari.com made our Christmas…
Anja and safari.com made our Christmas and New Year holiday vacation perfection. We had direction and choices to choose from at every point of the planning. Upon arrival it was seem less. Drivers and guides that found you on time, very knowledgeable and very kind. The safari part of our trip was stellar, the cottage was so cozy and the drives were sightings of every big 5 and beyond. Just the mention of Anja, who had confirmed, you were expected and treated extremely well. Anja reminded us of events just in case which was so nice to know you had someone watching over you. Everything was top notch and went exactly as it was planned. Thank you for a beautiful vacation to Anja and her team.

Anja and safari.com are the best!!!!!
Anja and safari.com are the best, period! Excellent planning, wonderful suggestions and constant contact during our vacation, even over the holidays. Anja reminded us our activity times, reconfirmed reservations and even called to adjust departure times for excursions when our family mead running behind. Anja’s suggestions were right on and always excellent. Only wish we would have let her book our ABNB in capetown. Best customer service in a time where that seems to be dying. Can’t say enough positive about her. Thank you for making our 2.5 week family trip one we will never forget 🙏🏻 I would not suggest booking your trip to SA without Anja and safari.com
