As Seen in...

Is your Safari Secure?

With a growing number of travel specialists to choose from, finding a suitable one - with experience and firsthand knowledge - can be challenging. Ultimate Africa is a licensed travel consultancy, incorporated in Washington State, USA since 1996 as Ultimate Adventures Inc.

As Ultimate Africa is located in Washington State each client is the beneficiary of our strict consumer oriented Sellers of Travel legislation (all client money must be held in trust, truth in advertising, directing how refunds are handled, etc…). Our Washington State Registered Seller of Travel number is #601730459. The
Washington State Department of Revenue offers a State Business Records database for use by the general public as a consumer protection program. Simply visit their website and search names that start with "Ultimate Adventures". Alternatively you may phone the Washington Department of Revenue toll free 1 800 647 7706.

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. ASTA's code of ethics may be viewed on their website at ASTA Code of Ethics.

Ultimate Africa Safaris is also endorsed by the International Airlines Travel Agent Network (IATAN).


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?
