Booking with Safari Gals was a pleasure from start to finish.
They made the whole process very easy, and even helped with suggestions when we couldn’t decide between lodges. Would highly recommend taking the stress out of booking and using them.
Simone and the entire Safari Gals team were exceptional.
The most perfect holiday with the best surprises that far exceeded our expectations, a true five star experience. I wouldn’t even dream of planning any getaway without them!
