Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Speed of communication was excellent - no automated phone answering systems. Will definitely use DialAFlight again
Would not go to another travel agent. Ryan does everything and more. Nothing too much trouble. Dependable, fast working and smart. Thank you Ryan.
Another smooth, hassle free flight organised by Doug. Thank you for your help, patience and support every time I need flights.
All went well
Jack Sulliman did an outstanding job!
Great customer service and always very helpful. Would definitely use you again in the future.
Always useful to have someone to speak to in case of problems like Heathrow's shutdown. The strength of back up is very reassuring.
Roger is just brilliant!

Kenya Air was top notch on LHR to Nairobi. The second leg to Cape Town and back was not good enough to be called business class
Excellent service as usual and the last minute changes we had to make to our itinerary were handled very quickly and efficiently.

1. Mix it up
Safaris work well with kids of all ages, but (especially without a smartphone or a tablet) they can get bored rather quickly these days. So vary up your trip with walks, kids’ activities and even horse rides in between game drives to keep each day feeling new. Poo tracking tends to be a popular choice with the little ones too.
2. Hit the beach
Mix things up even more by adding on a beach trip to your safari for the perfect accompaniment to what can be a busy schedule. Completely unwind and forget about itineraries for a few days to round off your trip somewhere kids can play and parents can relax.
3. Don’t be afraid to pay a little extra
We all like to save money where possible, but some areas of a safari experience are really worth paying that little bit more for. Your guides and vehicles for example, will make or break the highlight of your holiday and a private vehicle will ensure a more comfortable ride along the way.
4. Choose your accommodation wisely
There are many factors that come into play when choosing your camp or lodge, few more important than how suitable they are for kids. For instance, different camps offer different levels of discount for kids, making some of the seemingly more expensive camps actually cheaper for families. It’s also worth considering if you would require a larger family tent, or if you’d prefer a few separate ones.
5. There’s more to it than the Big Five
Plenty of safari-goers end up obsessing over lions and leopards, when there’s so much to enjoy and to learn too! Your guide can point out smaller creatures, plants and insects that can be just as interesting for kids and will help to stave off boredom whilst searching for more elusive animals.
6. Be prepared
There’s little worse than getting up early and setting off at the perfect time of day to be interrupted or to realise you’ve left something at the lodge. So make sure you bring your binoculars (plural – for easier sharing!) and your guide books to tick off what you’ve seen to keep everyone happy. And please make sure everyone’s been to the loo before you leave!
