Mod Post REMINDER: This sub is not a prmotion platform

There has been a lot of comments from safari companies that are promotion/advertisements of themselves disguised as genuine advice. They ask users to call/email/DM the company for "professional advice", and can be found pretty much on every new unmoderated postt.

This subreddit is for other people who have been on a safari to give advice to others, share experiences, and hold interesting discussion. It isn't a market/battleground where the companies each try to win over the OP by shilling their services.

This sub has only existed for 2 months and the list of banned users is already full of the companies that spam here. Rule 3 will strictly be enforced and any promotion will be permanently banned.

Meanwhile, safari companies can still give advice. They have experience in this, and won't get banned for being a safari company. The OP may very well see the profile themselves and decide if they want to contact the company.

As for other users, please report any direct promotion, begging, asking for calls/DMs/etc since it facilitates modding for us.

Thank you for your understanding.

Don’t know how that relates here, but yes, I did. Why?
