www.safaribookings.com tour operators and deposits

The wife and I have found a couple safari operators that we'd like to book back-to-back for our first ever adventure to Africa in August, however before we put down deposits to a company in Kenya/Tanzania, we are trying to cover all of our bases on research and reviews. We haven't found them listed on Flyer Talk, and the only mention of www.safaribookings.com on Flyer Talk is people referencing the "best times to go" schedule.

Acheche Tours: https://www.safaribookings.com/full/t2064

Kapolondo Expeditions: https://www.safaribookings.com/tours/t2701


Has anyone heard of these? They both are requesting 30-50% deposits. We are going to do that via Amex for the best protection possible, however we're obviously still concerned about deposits and a large amount of $ in general for tours that the only reviews are on www.safaribookings.com. The site seems like a great place for safari operators to advertise together, and all of the info on the site is well organized. We just don't know anyone that has booked a safari through them.

Thanks!
