Partnership with Refuge for Widlife

Our team at Safari Surf believes in the work this group is doing, so much so that we decided to make a $50.00 donation for each Safari guest who books an all-inclusive surf package with us. This organization only works on donations and we at Safari Surf felt the need to dedicate our time and money to help this amazing cause!
