Always helpful, always quick, ready to be patient, efficient. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Annabelle is brilliant!
Efficient and charming
Athens airport didn't seem to have check in machines - or we just couldn't find them. We had to wait for BA desk to open. (We didn't have internet to check in online in advance). Otherwise all well.
Guy Foskin - always excellent customer service.
Very impressed with all the contact we had with your company. Thank you
Thank you Johnathan Greaves - as usual excellent service all round
Maria was great as usual. We have been using DialAFlight for more than 10 years. We recommend them to everyone. They are always realistic and efficient.
As always DialAFlight found us the ideal hotel and flights at a reasonable cost. Looking forward to booking our next holiday with you!
As always excellent service - you get what you expect and hope for
Trevor was very professional and took care of all our needs. Great communication and response to any questions was very quick. Answered any queries we had and added lounge passes to our booking. Hotel and flights were excellent. Phone call before holiday to check we had everything we needed. Would rebook again and recommend to family and friends.
As usual, excellent all round. Ran very smoothly, hotels were good, no problems at all.
Always instantly at hand when they are needed
Never book with anyone else
Great customer service. It’s reassuring to know I can call with any queries I may have. Sarah and Julie have been my main points of contact.
Sean once again recommended a hotel he knew. This time in Naples. The hotel was absolutely faultless. Perfect location which we wouldn’t have chosen if we’d just guessed ourselves. Absolutely amazing trip. Thanks again.
Curtis was very helpful and professional, even calling me a week before my departure to make sure I had everything I needed. Before booking he gave me a few options too and it made it easier to choose the best one. Moreover the booking process was very quick and much easier than if I had booked via a cheap airline. It was well worth paying more for the brilliant service. Thank you. A very happy traveller.
BA overbooked the flight so I had to get one an hour later! But that is the airline, not DialAFlight. Many thanks again
They are always dependable and great communicators, too. I've used DialAFlight for years and have no reason to look elsewhere.
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!
