Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Despite my high rating our trip was marred by poor signage at Amsterdam airport and our plane being two hours late, necessitating an overnight stay (paid for by KLM).
Car hire with Centauro was very good but was not expecting an age related surcharge!
I love the fact that you are always at the end of a phone regardless of where you are travelling to or from which is very comforting.
Excellent suggestion regarding staying in Cavtat. Fabulous hotel also. Always an excellent service from DialAFlight!
Always very efficient and friendly
Apart from poor weather conditions which cancelled our boat trip to Positano and the Amalfi coast the holiday was a big success. The hotels were very comfortable and we had memorable days in Rome, Naples and a day trip to Pompeii. Many thanks again Chloe.
It's always good. But fortunately there was nothing to go wrong. The plane both ways was punctual. Gatwick has become efficient although looking shabby after Bologna, but I was through in 10 minutes.
Ben Till was absolutely amazing in arranging the perfect holiday to Daios Cove. He was so helpful and made sure we had the perfect holiday yet again. We cannot thank him enough. We will continue to recommend him and DialAFlight
As always, Saf was so thoughtful, helpful and really efficient. I would always book through DialAFlight.
Jupiter Hotel excellent. Clean towels and sheets every day. Cascais lovely. Hotel country house style. TAP airlines delayed both ways and no food or tea bags to buy so couldn’t recommend them although plane back was very comfortable
All good - Mark does a brilliant job.
Extremely helpful in tracing my lost baggage (Nicky). All arrangements good. Hotel very good.
Another great trip. Loved the hotel and private transfers on time in nice cars. Thank you Charlie
All perfect, apart from the 10-kilometre hike to the Gate at Schiphol...but I don't think that's really your responsibility! Thank you again for all you do in arranging my travel.
Very happy with service.
Nice hotel. Pity about the music bars across the road open until 5am. Not to be recommended if you want a good night's sleep.
Another great holiday organised by Dexter and his team.
Wizz Air was its normal nightmare. o late in taking off we missed our golf tee time and had to get up at 2.30 m to catch return flight!
A quick response when alerted to hotel being unsatisfactory.
Very friendly, efficient service. Would highly recommend. The hotel recommended by Edward was excellent and ticked all our boxes.
Trip arranged by Bill. Everything perfect
Perfect hHotel and central for all activities
Adam was great in arranging the flight and keeping us informed right up to departure. Another great service from DialAFlight
Michelle is great - gets us great deals
Excellent service by Ellie - communication excellent, kept me informed. Would use DialAFlight again.
BA let us down on return flight ... announcing on all screens they were boarding extra early. So we had to leave a bottle of nice wine and a couple of cocktails to rush to the gate only to find they were not boarding and indeed the flight was actually delayed! Not happy but obviously nothing to do with you guys
I highly recommend you to other people. Thank you for the personal service.
Amy and Erin couldn’t help us enough. Always there when needed.
Really helpful staff and ALWAYS help me with anything I need. Takes the stress out of travelling
Great personal service. Thank you!
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!
