Mel at Safari.com was very helpful.
Mel at Safari.com was very helpful. He is a professional and highly courteous. We changed our itinerary four times and he very patiently replied with new quotes and even suggested that we should not take some parts because it is too expensive. He never tried to sell us the most expensive itinerary - just what is right for us. I would highly recommend Mel at Safari.com if you want to go on a safari .

This Travel Firm is Ready for You!
We have completed the preliminary reservations with this amazing travel firm. Thank God they exist! We would never have been able to figure out how to put the pieces of our trip to AFRICA together without them. They are patient, caring, detailed, and responsive to communications…something you expect, but do not always receive when service is involved. Connect with them via email if you are even thinking about going to Africa. Cheers!

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!
