No complaints
Liam was great as always. I needed to book an urgent flight home and he was great, supportive and patient. I highly recommend
So disappointed and embarrassed with the condition of the arrival hall and baggage collection area at Edinburgh airport. Toilets were a disgrace and I will be complaining. All our connections were on time and baggage did not get lost! Thanks DialAFlight
Great, informative service would definitely use again.
We had an issue with Bluu car rental charging us over a thousand pounds despite our pre paid voucher being given. Spoke to Jeff our travel consultant on our return and the issue was resolved in 24 hours, refund paid.
Excellent service and easy to use
Oli de Bernier is excellent and I look forward to him assisting me with my next holiday.
A great professional service. Thank you Monika!
Tony is amazing. Everything went well and when we needed help he was right there for us. Amazing. Inspiring!
Very helpful. Bay hotel not quite as good as hoped
I only use DialAFlight now as Shane Graham provides excellent service and is available at all times to support me.
Thank you Paul once again. All worked perfectly.
All superb - BLUU car hire was excellent. Many thanks for the advice and bookings Lloyd
A disappointment was that there was no business class lounge available to us at Zanzibar airport. KLM apparently doesn’t have a contract with the lounge and we would have had to pay to enter. No notification of this so 3 hrs waiting at the gate. Not acceptable on a business class ticket
BA flight late so missed connection and lost a day's holiday
Missed an outbound connection due to BA flight delay. Good job that we had booked with Teddy. Next flight sorted eventually even though we arrived at our final destination 11 hours late.
Everything went according to plan. I don't feel confident booking online and you chaps held my hand throughout. Definitely would recommend you.
Best travel agent. Thank you Scott.
Noah was very helpful
Roger was great.
Isaac is alway very helpful and professional. Thank you as always.
Reid and Vinnie fab as usual
Roger Smith was simply outstanding in meeting our requirements and very 'hands on' with seeing our travel arrangements through without a hitch. I would not hesitate to recommend DialAFlight to anyone and will most definitely be calling on their services for our personal family use in the future.
Great service again from Bradley.
I’ve had fantastic service every time. Good quotes/quick service/helpful staff. It’s such a pleasure booking flights through DialAFlight
Nicky was amazing, professional and very committed. Will be using her again
We had a problem when arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport as nobody was there to meet us. Apparently Leopard Tours had not been advised of our new flight time. This meant we did not get to our hotel until 5am which was not a great start given we started the trek the following day
Samuel was super helpful and we will always come back to him and DialAFlight
Thanks for prompts and support
Michelle as usual was amazing
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!
