What started as a bucketlist with my best friends quickly became a reality when I called Christy! She jumped in with her team at Exeter Safari Company and came up with a collection of itineraries for us to consider. Together both teams listened to our trip goals, worked with our timeframe, our budget, and created a once in a lifetime experience. The teams in Tanzania — on Kilimanjaro and the South Serengeti — became our family and I am forever changed. Every detail went o! without a hitch, including a birthday cake at 13,000 ft! I’m not done with Africa and there is no question who I’m calling when I plan my next trip! —AMY RADICH
Christy Damas is awesome. Christy planned an unforgettable family vacation for us last summer to Costa Rica. She considered every detail when booking our trip. Activities, transports, dinners, beaches, hotels, etc. Everything was perfect. Her knowledge of Costa Rica was a huge asset. I appreciate that she asked so many questions along the planning process to make sure she knew what kind of vacation we were looking for. She sent us messages throughout our stay making sure everything was going smoothly. She even helped us booked new flights home when we missed our connection due to weather. I would not hesitate to work with Christy again and highly recommend her for your travel needs. —CURTIS HIDALGO
