My 2nd time booking with Safari.com
My 2nd time booking with Safari.com - Amazing is all I can say from the first trip last year to booking this one for next year - they tailor the trip to what you want to do and see and keep in touch the whole way thru. I would never book with anyone else ever! Kim Abrahams was a godsend - so patience with all my changes and requests. She made sure I was getting the right place to stay to have the best chance to see the animals I want to see.
