Booking a family safari for a family of 17 made easy.
Booking a family safari for a group of 17 people is no easy feat. Izanne Meyer helped us set up an exciting and amazing itinerary for us in a matter of 9 days. I could chat with her on WhatsApp and all our queries were promptly answered. Her passion and friendliness is a bonus. I found the Safari.com platform consumer friendly and their service streamlined. We are looking forward to our 16 day fun filled safari with our children and grandchildren.
