How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

We were nervous about travelling to South Africa and had our safety concerns, not with the Wait A Little portion but getting there. We were sent a photo of the car that was going to take us from Johannesburg to Wait A Little. The car that picked us up was not like the photo. We took the risk and got in - but really? We felt really unsafe about that.

[Abbie from In The Saddle replies: I am sorry that the vehicle wasn't the one you expected and I can appreciate that must have felt stressful. We provided the information given in good faith.]


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

Abbie was really difficult to get a hold of and never seemed to understand we wanted things in Canadian dollars; I don’t think as a Canadian In The Saddle was a totally customer friendly experience.

[Abbie from In The Saddle replies: We are now only able to accept payment in GB Pounds, Euros and US Dollars. But we appreciate your feedback and are looking into how we can make it easier for Canadians to book with us.]


Do you have any other feedback for us?

I would recommend Wait A Little to everyone wanting to go on safari!

[Abbie from In The Saddle replies: Thank you so much for your feedback, I am really pleased that you enjoyed your safari.]
