“Great tour of Tanzania”
5/5

We took safari tour for about 7 nights with this comapny and it was a journey to remember. Seeing the animals in wild is just breath taking. Our tour guide Anthony was very helpful and since I had just my phone camera I needed to be very close to animals to take pictures. Anthony was very helpful and understanding
We came back toniur country with memorable memories. Thank you!

Beautiful experience
5/5

Climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro, did safari in Tanzania and Kenya and finished with a stay in Hideaway Nungwi in Zanzibar. This and the nice guide of ISIA, and the professionalism of their sales reps made this the best vacation we ever had. Definitely recommended. Cheers from Madrid

A memorable experience!
5/5

It was the experience of a life time! Everything about the safari was excellent and memorable. The staff were all very kind and helpful. The meals were simple but good. I loved the rustic cabins. The guide/driver was very knowledgeable and told us all about the wild life. Even the wild life co-operated and showed themselves to us unstintingly. Of course, that was also because the drivers talked to each other and if one driver saw a certain animal he informed the others, and that was very helpful. The visit to the Masai village was the icing on the cake.

The whole safari experience was something that I will treasure all my life, and I know my son felt the same.

Thank you one and all for making the whole experience so unforgettable, a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Exhilarating
4/5

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.

The crew was amazing, always available. They took care of everything for us, even when our luggage was lost by the airline company they fixed the problem.

Brilliant
5/5

It Started in Africa are second to none. I have done quite a few safaris all over Africa and my experience with ISIA was by far and away the best. Whilst I did not do my actual tour with them, they did all the bookings with hotels and agencies for me. The customer service is fantastic: they are really helpful, seek to understand what you need and are prompt and professional. The team are very responsive over email and are really focussed on the client having a great experience. We had a couple of issues to resolve before the trip and ISIA were really helpful and diligent in solving them for me. They booked some great places, organised every step flawlessly and the aftercare was great. Booking a safari can be a daunting experience, but ISIA offer a service unlike any other. Really happy with them – thanks guys!

Fabulous experience from start to finish
5/5

We had an absolutely fabulous time on safari and would highly recommend It Started in Africa, especially having Anthony for a guide. We could not have asked for a better trip; our experience far exceeded our expectations. Anthony was extremely knowledgeable and it was very interesting to learn more about Africa and about the animals as we were traveling. Not only was Anthony excellent at been able to find the animals, but would also get us in a position to take fabulous photos. His English was very good and he was a fun person to be around.

Also, it was a great experience dealing with it started in Africa. You were very attentive to my needs, and very prompt in answering all my questions. I was very pleased with all the arrangements that were made. I also, appreciated being given choices to accommodate our budget. And, the overall expense for the trip was much less than what I have heard others have paid, and in comparison to others online.

I highly recommend It started in Africa
