best team ever to make the experience
I would like to start by saying the biggest thankyou to all of the team at it started in Africa. From the organisation from you all by emails to the actual trip. Joao was perfect in answering all questions asked and very quick reply's. Was so professional. Also to Silvia for organising an amazing team and helping with anything we asked when she picked us up. Your team couldn't be better especially to zippy and peter both guides. Nothing was two much for them and there information amazing about the mountain from names of plants to history of mountain to even names of stars. I watched other guides with guests on mountain with other companies and didn't pay half the attention like your guys did for us. These two make a great team and please use them alot more as they are super beneficial for you. They were well organised and get the team motivated. Also your chef amazing food very chatty very caring. Even the waiter whata Nic guy always happy and very very caring always checking we were alright and making us laugh. Your porters as well always polite and smiling to us. Was really a great team and made my trip completely. I have given Silvia a newspaper article of me for charity and also mentioned your company. When I return will do another article and mention you guys again how amazing your were. If you can please put my summit picture on your facebook and mention the charity will be a big help for us as well.
Thankyou for all your help and an amazing experience.
Best regards sam
Amazing Ruaha two-days trip
My friend and I went for a two days trip to Ruaha NP with Ernesto of Chabo Africa Safari. Everything was well organized in advance and Ernesto has a lot of knowledge about the nature, environment and animals in the park. In addition, he is a great driver speaks good English. Ruaha NP is incredible: Beautiful views and landscapes. We went during the rain season and everything was beautifully green. Absolute must-see when you are in the Southern part of Tanzania!!

New Years in Kenya
My family and I have repeatedly used Baisy Oryx Tours Travel & Safaris' services during our trip to Kenya. We have always enjoyed our stays and appreciated the kindess and professionalism that all members of the Baisy Oryx group show their clients. Our bookings are always well done and our guide really made our safaris memorable! If you are looking for an "insider's view" of Kenya and its beautiful wildlife, I highly recommend Baisy Oryx's services!
Excellent experience. Very friendly and competent team and very knowlegeable game rangers.
Viva Safaris lived up to their promises and the Safari Tour itself was beyond our expectations.
Punctual, friendly and very good at what they do.
Highly recommended.

An amazing experience!
We had a 2 week safari that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived in Dar Es Salam to the moment we flew home we were looked after by this company. Our guide Baraka was incredible in his knowledge of the country and the people and the wildlife. He was passionate about what he did and that was reflected in every aspect of this wonderful holiday. It was 2 weeks of bliss where we had nothing to do but to fully enjoy the experience. Our every need was seen to. Our accomodation at multiple lodges and camps was everything we could have hoped for. We were trested like royalty wherever we went. And of course, we saw every animal and bird we could have imagined with so many upclose and personal encounters. We could not recommend Maasai Wanderings more highly

The Trip of a Lifetime - On Safari with It Started in Africa
From the initial planning, through to the final adventure, our tour operators of “It Started in Africa” were extremely helpful and made sure that our ten day Safari was absolutely wonderful! I had to make some major last minute changes to our itinerary, but with the expert suggestions and prompt help we received from our Happiness Manager, Joao Oliveira, everything was quickly taken care of, to perfection!
We (4 adult family members) had booked a private tour and Sylvia, our tour coordinator, called us every day, to ensure all our needs and desires were taken care of. So the four of us were very comfortable in our vehicle, during the game drives and transportation from place to place and having a vehicle with a pop-up roof was perfect for watching the animals all around us, from every angle and made the warm temperatures much more pleasant!
Our tour started with just an overnight stay in Arusha, and early the next morning, the adventure truly started. We drove to Lake Burundi in Tarangire National Park, just a 2 hour drive from Arusha and were in a different world! It was just amazing to see all the animals that we have only seen in zoos or pictures, right besides our vehicle!
The Burunge Camp was our first tented camp and it was beautiful and had all the luxury and comfort we could wish for! We continued on to Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp, then on to Ang'ata Serengeti Camp in Central Seringeti, Ang'ata Migration Camp in Southern Seringeti and to Ngorongoro Crater. The last night we spent at Lake Eyasi and there, as part of our cultural program, we were able to have a snapshot of the life of the Hadze tribe and the Dacota people. We finished with the best cultural activity last, with a stop in a Maasai village before we had to return to Kilimanjaro International airport. The Maasai are among the best known local tribes due to living in and near the many game parks of the African great lakes and their distinctive customs and dress. They are the only tribe that can continue to live in the National Parks and Preserves because of their love and stewardship of their environment.
We stayed in a few lodges, but it was in the two Ang’ata camps that we could truly experience life in the bush and it came with the bonus of unexpected luxury and comfort, delicious food and the very attentive personnel that provided excellent care!
Nassari, our guide on Safari, was truly exceptional! He anticipated every request that we could make and made absolutely sure that all our wishes came true! If I had not seen the roads in the bush for myself, which were often quite rough, I would not have known that there were any bumps or deep potholes!
The game drives were fantastic - every day Nassari would ask us which animals, we really wanted to see that day and whether it was lions or cheetahs, leopards, hippos or rhinos he delivered them all! And once he found out that we were very enthusiastic birdwatchers he also made sure that we had plenty of time to see Africa’s wonderful birds in their spectacular colors, and helped us to identify many birds that were new to us.
On the game drives Nassari not only knew where the big 5 were “hanging out” but he also always drove to the best possible spot to see all the animals as close as possible - quite often right below our vehicle! He also made sure that at everyone of our lunch spots in the bush we were right next to the animals of choice.
I have traveled to some fabulous places, all over the world, but I cannot imagine that I will ever be in a better location to eat!
Tanzania is such a beautiful country and the office staff, Joao and Sylvia and our guide Nassari made sure that my trip was absolutely magical and a dream come true! I only wished that I could have spent a month on Safari, instead of the 10 days that we actually had!
I highly recommend a Safari with “It Started in Africa” especially with Nassari as your guide, to make it all possible!
