- You send your request. Operators receive your trip details, such as dates, group size and preferences.
- Your contact details stay private until an operator accepts your request. Accepting is the operator's way of saying they can help you.
- The operator contacts you with a quote and answers your questions.
- You compare offers, ask for changes, and choose the one you trust.
- You confirm and pay the operator directly, following the payment steps they give you.
How long should I wait?
Many operators reply within one to two days, but safaris take planning, so a detailed itinerary can take longer, especially in busy seasons. If a few days pass with no reply, send your request to another operator or use the custom request to reach several at once.
Is there a cost to me?
No. Sending requests and receiving quotes is free for travellers. The platform is paid by operators when they accept a request, so you never pay SafariVendors to compare offers.
