Safari Limited was founded in 1993 by Paul and Betty Jean Hunt naming the company from their success in East Africa operating safari lodges. Betty Jean is a 4th generation Belizean. The company operated independently and was granted its first international franchise in 1997. The Hertz name in Belize is now widely regarded as the industry leader with Safari Limited, the Hertz International Licensee, setting the industry standard. Paul also continues in a consultative role for tourism development.
The local company continues to operate two locations and is looking to keep expanding. In addition, Hertz Belize is pleased to offer customized pick up and drop off "On request locations". Company policy in Belize is to offer mainly Sport Utility type of vehicles until roads become more predicable as the country develops.
“Our staff are part of our family.” says Betty Jean Hunt, Managing Director of Safari Limited. “..we work together, we train on new systems together, and will always find the best rate for the customer within the Hertz system.”
“Each one of our team will go to great lengths to carefully answer customers questions about hotels, lodges, roads, trails, attractions, and finding good value services amongst those diverse and smiling Belizean faces” says Paul Hunt Chairman of the local licensee company. “Even people staying on the Cayes to fish and dive can fly into the mainland for the day and see a little of the inland before catching the evening air taxi back to San Pedro or Caye Caulker.”
"Kind staff. Car was ready and as expected. Got lots of good care and local advice/tips from the agent. Many thanks."
