All according to expectations and as agreed.
We arranged a personalized safari which was all that we expected and more. The places recommended by the agency were fantastic. We did not encounter any problems with what was promised and all went according to plan. We even saw a place which was not in their recommended list but they still arranged to book it for us without hesitation. Again, all was as promised.
Vanessa was our contact in Spirit of Kenya and she always answered promptly to our questions. There were some minor changes to the timing of our flights booked with Spirit of Kenya and we were informed immediately. The only thing that was not that swift was the confirmation of the receipt of our payment and remaining balance to pay. In the end all was clarified, but there was a small confusion on their side.
The safari itself was an incredible experience that I would definitely recommend!

The experience was just perfect. Wonderfull Experience...
The experience was just perfect. All the hotels that were listed and recommended by Its starts in Africa were good and especially Mahali Mzuri. We have appreciated a lot the interaction that we had with (i) the team of Its starts in africa but also with the guide, the staff of the hotel and the local people.
Thank you again for all the arrangements and looking forward to talk for a new adventure
Best regards
4 days safari without any other companion
My experience was awesome and the things which I felt was beyond my expectation as a first time visitor. I have experienced the value, beauty and diversity of wild life and had fantastic opportunities to shoot the big fives and all. I enjoyed a lot everything there, also appreciate that you provide me Antony as my guide/driver, he is superb.

Loved it
We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed our guide Haven's company and the way he was with the kids. He was always able to put the car in best spots to get some wonderful pictures. Even if other cars where int the front he managed somehow to get us close to the animals. The camping experience was also good and the food that Roman made was always nice and tasty.
Everyone of us loved Africa's nature, and choosing it started in Africa made it perfect.Thanks

Kilimajaro Climb and a wonderful safari!!!
A very good service from all the team of It Started in Africa. They helped me to plan this wonderful journey and they customized everything according to my demands, always fast in answering. Everything was all right! Kilimanjaro climb: simply great! Good gears, good tents, good and plentiful meals! And the safari simply amazing!!! The guides were nice and prepared and were able to answer to all of my questions.

Exhilarating
The tour was very nice, it provided an in depth insight into the sights and sounds of Kenya which I probably
would not have experienced if I travelled by air. The tour guide was absolutely amazing ,he was constantly
assisting to capture some breathtaking pictures
of the scenery.He deserves a 5 star applause. He was also very knowledgeable about where to find the animals
because I managed to see lions,elephants,giraffes and hyenas on the first day of my tour.
The hotel accommodation was simple and adequate with the lovely sights of the hippos and crocodiles.
It was a wonderful experience and I hope to do it again soon.

Massai Mara (fantastic game drive) - Zanzibar (the best vacations in my life)
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
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.
