I wanted to arrange a visit to South…
I wanted to arrange a visit to South Africa , bringing my family of 14, to celebrate my 80th birthday in 2027. Sara was unbelievable. Not only did she come up with a great itinerary but my many emails to her were answered almost immediately. I could not fault her customer service and I would highly recommend using her services to anyone planning a trip to South Africa, be it a safari or a combination safari/travel trip.

Great experience with Sara from Safari.com!
We planned a journey to namibia and found safari.com as an interesting travel agency. Sara was fantastic. She had great ideas and always tried to realize what we had in our mind and finally planned an amazing journey for us. We skipped plans, hotels and changed ideas, but all the time she was very professional, patient and enthusiatic about planning the perfect journey. Even in Namibia we stayed in contact with her and she helped us when we where behind schedule because of delays. Thank you so much Sara for planning this for us, we will keep this journey in our hearts and minds! I would highly recommend safari.com and specially Sara to anyone planning a journey in Africa!
