Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe National Park
I had the pleasure of working with Lindi Weeks to plan a safari to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe National Park in January, and I can't speak highly enough of her! She went above and beyond to help me plan my dream vacation, and provided detailed answers to the many questions I had. Lindi was very patient with me and took the time to understand what I was looking for and tailored the trip to my interests. She also helped me to find accommodations and activities. If you’re looking for a travel agent who is professional, personable and dedicated, Lindi is the one to go to. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her for future adventures! 5 stars all the way!

Kruger Safari
Finding a Safari can be a daunting experience. So many options and such a long way from home. Shann Shaw at Safari.com was super helpful. We went through several options and itiniaries before landing on one. And it was unforgettable. Thank you.

Huts booked at Kruger were substandard as info not imparted by Safari.com bookers
I always book via Safari.com and have never had to ensure the huts in the Kruger Park had a microwave, hotplate or even just an outdoor sink. This time, we arrived in the disability friendly huts - which has no microwaves, no hotplate, nor an outside sink. How are disabled people expected to cook a meal without these basic amenities?? I would think that the Safari.com staff would remember to ensure these things are asked for/requested.

Leigh-Ann provided me a flight from DTW to HDS for a flight duration of 21 hours. The best I could do was 34 hours. Just made payment today 12/21/2024. I would say you are lucky to have such a proficient young lady on your staff. James Wade
