Amazing and awesome experience
The tour was perfect, amazing and unforgettable. It’s worth while going on a safari tour with your company when everything is well planned and organized. I would strongly recommend tourists coming to Nairobi use your services.

Affordable Gorilla Trek
I signed up a 1 Day gorilla Tour beginning from Kigali and back to Kigali, all went well. The trip was well coordinated and Gorilla trekking in Mgahinga National Uganda was a success!
Elias the guide was a good driver polite and kind. The booking was handled by Jackie the manager of the company. I highly recommend Katona Tours and Travel

Amazing trip!
Had a great week in Serengeti! We saw the migration and loads of animals, enjoyed everyday there. A big thank you to Victoria who helped us a lot to arrange this trip and she's really kind and thoughtful. Our guide - Antony, did a great job too. The only thing can be improved would be the guide's English skills, sometimes he seems not quite understand our questions, but that's not a big issue at all. We will definitely recommend Safarihub and hope we can do it again sometime.

great experience
with Bison safari was great experience, we were also lucky to see the great migration but was also cause the driver try to do his best to show us all the amazing nature of Maasai Mara. We had good accomodation and the food was all the time tasty :)

It was so amazing experience in my life to see big 5 is one of my dreams and it comes true.
I started at search for "safari operators" and did some studies via google. Many safari operators replied my request very quickly including It Started in Africa. Why I chose it? Because the service let me feel so comfortable. The criteria I focused on the following.
1. Initiatives and responsiveness
2. The ways to introduce safari and Ecosystem is very professional and very attractive
3. Not pushed customer to make decision too hard or not over-promotion
That was why I felt so comfortable and finally I chose It Started in Africa.
During the safari, the guide demonstrated his expertise in introducing animals names, behaviors, characters to me. He was very familiar with where was high possibility to see certain species of animals. All the hospitality was perfect and finally I saw the big 5. This is one of my dreams and it comes true.

The trip exceeded all expectations, it was wonderful, we loved it.
The only slight negatives were, the guide did not pick us up at Victoria Falls Hotel at 10.00am to take us to Llama Lodge, he came at 10.30am and we went straight to Vic Falls trip, so we didn't have chance to organise what we wanted to take with us. We didn't realise we were going across to Zambia for the whole day, in that we didn't know the rhino walk was in Zambia. We didn't know we were driving to Chobe, we thought we were flying, as we went via the airport. None of this mattered. The customer services were excellent throughout, especially on safari. would have liked more information from the guides about the weather changes and movement of animals, the floods, all year round.

Amakhala Game reserve is beautiful , with service with a big smile , great safari drives ,passionate guides who go out of their way to make sure you spot as many of the animals , food catered to your diet , lovely rooms , cleanliness.
As it has just 4 tents , you can be sure you have a personal touch from the moment you Check in.

Best vacation of our lives!
Aroni exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond with his knowledge of the different cultures, throughout Tanzania, and the multitude of national parks we visited. His personality was so fun and upbeat. We not only made a great treasured friend-who I stay in contact with frequently- moreover, we to know him on a personal level and formed such a valuable bond with him. I
will always treasure the experience and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a top notch exotic vacation.

Educational travel support; luxury travel design
I have been working with Patrick Manyika in various ways for three years, to support regular travel to Zambia and Zimbabwe with different groups and individuals. I have been working in Zimbabwe for the last 25 years. The service and support that Patrick and his colleague John Mazviito at Jibha Africa Safaris provided our two groups this May was outstanding. Traveling with 28 choral students, and supporting our performances all along the way is not a simple task, and they handled both our set-up and the execution of the program with professionalism and style. They understand the requirements of academic travel, and supported our travel extraordinarily well.

We had a fantastic 14 days tour of South Africa, Swaziland and Victoria Falls with Pembury tours.
Heidi at Pembury tours is the best travel agent I have come across in many years of travelling around the world with many tour companies . She replies to emails promptly, answers questions in details and was readily available when needed for minor hiccups while we were on tour.
