Insider's tip -  Did you know that only 14 states license or regulate travel agents? Of these states, there are currently only six states which require travel agent registration. Washington is one of these states. From a consumer standpoint this is significant as the state attorney general will assist in disputes / complaints (much easier than trying to handle a dispute / complaint yourself).

Ultimate Africa Safaris is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents (Ultimate Adventures Inc. member #900139738). The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) is recognized as a symbol of professionalism and integrity; the professional affiliation most often endorsed by the media when recommending how to find a reliable travel agent. ASTA has a long-standing record of fighting for consumer rights and ASTA member travel agents, such as ourselves, are required to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics.

Would you send your money to a company that wasn’t licensed and insured or worse that was located overseas and didn’t have to follow the strict consumer guidelines that are common in the USA today?
