Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
I constantly recommend DialAFlight to friends and family due to the exceptional service we have had over the years. Takes all the hassle and worry out of foreign travel. Tristan Chatburn and his team are top drawer.
Everything worked out fine regarding the flights and car hire; great support throughout.
I would definitely use DialAFlight next time. They were so helpful and always available to guide me through any problems.
Second time using DialAFlight, amazing service again. Samuel is the best! Helpful, knowledgeable and excellent customer service. Highly recommend
Dominic never fails to get us all a fantastic price on flights. I can’t recommend him enough.
First time using DialAFlight and will definitely be using again for work and leisure! Excellent customer service and easy to use app and support.
Cody always goes above and beyond, fantastic customer service
Everything went very smoothly
Our only disappointment was the car rental as we had to wait over an hour to pick up the cars and after a long flight with 5 children that was stressful.
Love the App. Easy peasy for check-in and following itinerary quickly.
Nick Beattie always sorts my trips out and is always on hand every step of the way. Cannot recommend enough.
Matthew always on hand and very professional
DialAFlight is a very reliable travel agency. The organisation always provides precisely what is requested. Representatives are knowledgeable, friendly and patient often making suggestions and giving sound advice. Someone is available to help via a telephone call 24/7 while we are away. Special call out to Fraser Gillespie for a brilliant job!
I feel confident when booking through yourselves, thank you
As always Callum was very helpful and knowledgeable when organising our family vacation. He is very personable to work with and competent and nothing is too much trouble
Thomas Smith organised a fantastic trip for us to Disney World Florida. Everything ran very smoothly and I would highly recommend him. Nothing was too much trouble so much so that I will be using him again for any long distant trips away.
Always reliable and dependable.
Great service
The seats you got for me were excellent. I had a great flight both ways and that’s rare for me. Thankyou very much
Noah helps me every year for my trip to Canada. I always know I have a friendly voice on the other end of the phone if I need help.
Things went as planned. Thank you.
Don’t recommend the Sheraton for 3 people. The double beds were tiny however they did give us an accessible room with more bed space. Staff very disinterested but trip otherwise was great.
I have been using DialAflight for years. They are my 'go to' for arranging flights and accommodation at good prices, especially when it isn't a simple return journey from the same locations. I highly recommend.
Fantastic as usual!
All went to plan, so easy.
Excellent service from Declan as always
Felt I was getting individual attention
Doug is absolutely brilliant. I always feel like a well valued customer whenever he sorts out my holiday.
We hadn't flown in a long while and we were quite apprehensive but we needn't have worried because you made everything so easy. There was plenty of time between flights to enable us to move through Border Control before boarding our second flight.
We have been using DialAFlight since 2008 and would never use anybody else. We have recommended you to loads of friends and family. We have always dealt with Daryll who has always been professional, reliable and never had any issues
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!
