Away to Africa Safari's via Roy's Safaries
 
Hi I sent an itinerary to Roys and I got a rely from Susan at Away to Africa. She said that Roy forwarded her my request because she is in the US (east coast) and easier to deal with. Has anyone ever heard of this company or is this just a scam. Thanks

Not a scam, Susan is the US rep for Roys.

Thought I would offer further reassurance on this. I worked with Susan as a Roy's client for our recent trip and we had an excellent time.

I wonder if this has an effect on the price. If Susan is a middle man then there is a mark up?

I asked about price increases when I was first in contact with Susan. She assured me that the price was the same as dealing directly with Roy's in Tanzania because you are a Roy's client, not an A-Way-To Africa client. But, of course, there is no way to know for sure. I took her at her word because it would have been easy for me to just stay in contact with Roy's Tanzania and get their price if it were lower so why increase it?
