The review below is the personal opinion of Valencia and not that of SafariBookings.
Staffs steal money and service is disgusting
Don’t choose this company unless you want a terrible experience. My friend and I did the 3 day sharing safari. 200$ from my wallet was stolen. At first I only noticed that 100$ was gone on the third day. Then after the whole trip when we count the money I found that I lost 200$ during safari. I didn’t even notice it because every time they only stole $100.
Besides, during safari we gave the driver and the chef tips everyday. I tried to be nice but they obviously don’t think so. I gave the chef 5$ tips on the first day, and 10$ on the second day, then she told me normally tips for chef is $10 per person per day. That was so disgusting. We did a joining tour of 6 guests, that means the tip for chef should be 180$ for a three-days safari??? And only for chef, not even included the driver?? That’s ridiculous. Maybe that’s why they stole money from my bag?
The after service was so disappointed as well. I told these things to Gadiel, the contact person from this tour agency. He said he would stopped the staff and send me 100$ back through WesternUnion. Which I think is acceptable. But he asked me to write 5 stars review for the tour first on two platforms. I did 1 5 star review first and told him that the other one will be done after he send money. I’m not sure how many 5 star reviews of this company have this kind of reason behind. He kept telling me that he would send money on Saturday then on Wednesday, then nothing happened.
It’s almost 1 month and I don’t think I will get my lost money back. But at least people should know how this company and staff actually is.
