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!

3rd Safari. Best Service Ever.
For our South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana safari trip I went to Safari.com to do the planning. I gave them where we wanted to go, what we wanted to do, and how many days to do it in. Sara became my planner. I would add that we do 2-3 international trips each year; me doing the initial planning, a local agency doing the details. Sara was one of the best. Her communications were clear and to the point. She understood the many many many questions I asked and responded each time rapidly. We changed the itinerary many many many times and her responses showed how knowledgeable and experienced she is. I was so impressed I contacted her boss Oliver to express my satisfaction with everything she and Safari.com provided. We booked and now look forward to our third African safari. Sara, we thank you.
