Safari of a Lifetime
It Started in Africa is a local, boutique safari operator and I found them after nearly 3 months of researching various operators for our planned Serengeti trip. They offered complete transparency and flexibility in planning of the itinerary based on our budget and available days and gave us hotel/camp options across the price spectrum for each location. They were patient and prompt with numerous emails, queries and changes esp the one-man wonder Bernard K'angoma. The safari itself was impeccable with a lovely big safari jeep all to ourselves and an experienced safari guide Erasto who ensure we had wonderful sightings of the Big 5 along with countless species of birds and animals. All the camps were lovely and we even got a free upgrade at Serengeti to the Intimate Experiences camp. Food was delicious, homestyle and hearty. The hotel in Arusha on our way in and out, Onsea Lodge was a wonderful little haven though their spa could do with better functionality and staff. But their food and service were impeccable. If you are planning a safari to Serengeti and want a personalized quality trip that doesn't cost the earth you should definitely consider It Started In Africa
