Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
As always, dealing with Karl at DialAFlight was easy. Communications regarding finding suitable flights/costs was efficient and reliable. Can't recommend the team highly enough.
BA cancelling us from our onwards flight from Johannesburg to Durban without consulting us was very irritating and totally unnecessary.
Love DialAFlight!
Thank you. Our journey could not have been easier.
Kenyan Aairways is very good. All my flights were on time, gate info was available in plenty of time and in flight entertainment was OK. Food was excellent.
Great service once again, definitely recommend

I've always been satisfied when dealing with Helen and your super efficient staff. Keep it up!

Always excellent
Fabulous service from DialAFlight. A big thank you to Finn Conlon who rescheduled our holiday following the Heathrow closure. First class service and very efficiently sorted out. Would recommend and will continue using for our future holidays.
An outstanding holiday with every element of planning meticulously executed to maximum benefit. Fantastic, thank you all so much!
We would like to extend our appreciation to Sebastian who has looked after not only our own travel requirements but also our two daughters and families for many years. He has always been approachable, supportive, caring and informative...
Such supportive and reliable service. DialAFlight is holding your hand all the way!
Right from purchasing the flight to the return home it was faultless. Knowing that emergency support is available gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended
Got the best deal
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!
