Massai Mara (fantastic game drive) - Zanzibar (the best vacations in my life)
4/5

At first i loved the trip, well worth it flight times!

About the tour operator "I Started in Africa" ​​liked the monitoring of Helder throughout the logistics of reservations (flights, stays, visas, vaccines, etc.). Excellent!

About the trip was a dream, it was little short, but very rewarding.

Africa has civilization and a lot but a lot of poverty. I felt a lump in my throat several times ....

On safari, the best treatment possible, camp at LOYK MARA (nor should call camp for luxury;)), good food, good reception, loved the Masai tribe.

The guide of the best, always ready to help and clarify, good traveling companion!

Animals ... veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ..... the big five .... we saw almost all (except the rhino that is very hard to find) was a unique experience ... probably the only of its kind that I will have in life .. . the nature reserve of Masai Mara is huge with Kms out of sight, out of words to describe such a vast expanse of land and wildlife.

If something changed, yes, changed the hours of shipping out the nature reserve Masai Mara to Zanzibar ... it was a long day, really tiring. However, after waking up in Zanzibar the next day everything changes, that beach, sand, people, sea, sun, hotel ... a paradise ... I changed also stay in Nairobi .. in Confort Suites .... it was not the best ... the opposite.

Overall returning there for sure ... one day maybe ... by the same agency of course;)

The Great Migration - A timeless safari experience with a full complement of African wilderness
4/5

My trip to Masai Mara with ‘ It Started In Africa’ was everything I expected of an Africa wilderness & much more. Never ending planes, rocky roads, the most stunning sun rise, flowing river filled with hippo & crocs & a land where animals & humans live in harmony with each other.

Masai Mara was a destination which was amongst the top ten destinations on my Bucket List. So there I went planning a trip & trying to get quotations for many local travel companies in Kenya. That’s when we came across ‘It Started In Africa’ who offered us the best packages & deals.

Particia from ‘ It Started In Africa’ was our only point of contact while I was planning the trip and she did a fabulous & commendable job. We were a group of 4 people & our plan was to visit Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara for 7 days trip & she planned our itinerary offering us amazing & comfortable stay in the lap of the nature & all in our budget.

Our guide, driver & a person with fabulous experience & knowledge Alex from the company was our companion from day 1 to day 7 and thanks to him that we witness all the drama of the Mara jungle – migratory heard of Zebras marching across the river while the hungry crocs were awaiting for their meal, a cheetah making a mad dash through the grassland attacking wildebeest or croc dramatically rising from the waters in the Mara river…. We also witnessed the Big 5 and amazing species of birds.

I could go on and on and on about our trip to the Masai Mara, and by writing this comment I just wanted to thank ‘It Started In Africa’ team, Patricia & Alex for an unforgettable experience. Keep up the fabulous work & marvellous client services. I would highly recommend ‘It Started In Africa’ for any safari trips to Africa.

Cheers.
