How answers stay accurate

  • Live catalog. Every answer comes from SafarieSIM's live catalog, not from a model's memory.
  • Checkout prices. Prices are the ones you pay at checkout, for one traveller, in the currency you choose.
  • Operators, not signal maps. Network details are the operators recorded for each plan. The server doesn't claim signal at specific parks or lodges, and says so when asked.
  • Read-only. The server never buys anything. Travellers complete their purchase on safariesim.com.
