3 Day Masai Mara Private Tour
We had an excellent time on our private tour of the Masai Mara with Ket Safaris. To start with, the communication before our arrival was incredibly thorough and timely so we felt we were going to be looked after even before our arrival in Kenya. From our pick-up on Day 1 to our drop-off on Day 3 everything went seamlessly. Couldn't have been happier with the experience and service provided.

First safari, wounderful experience and the wish to return to Tanzania some day.
It was very easy to communicate with this operator when planning our safari, Mr João Oliveira allways answered our e-mails very promptly and was very helpfull advising us about the safari tour that better met our requirements. We´ve choosen the 4 day safari "endless plains".
Our guide Dickson was very professional, shown a good knowledge about birds and managed that it was possible to see the big five althogh the rhinos were too far, but as they are very rare we can´t ask for better. We visited Tarangire, Serengueti and Ngorongoro and we loved the 2 camps and lodge where we satyed overnight, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge by its landscape view over the crater, Maramboi tented camp because our stay was like a dream, and Robanda by its simplicity and the kindness of the staff.

Our Safari with Bright African Safaris was amazing!!!
An African Safari has been on our bucket list for many years. In 2014 we started looking at different safari companies and found they varied significantly in price and services. After contacting many companies, we chose Bright African Safaris, a locally owned company. Our contact, Msangi Charema was prompt in answering our questions and listened to our wants. With his knowledge of the wide variety of places to visit, he put together our trip of a lifetime. Once we were in Tanzania, our guide, Amir, was the best - friendly and accommodating, with the eyes of a hawk and knowledge of the animals. We traveled in September 2014 and the wildlife viewing was amazing!! We saw elephants, zebras, lions, wildebeest, giraffes, and many smaller animals every day.

Luxurious Safari
Thorn Bush Safaris was helpful from the get-go when I expressed interest in our travel plans to Madikwe. Michelle was very helpful in presenting a couple options to us, and ultimately went with Buffalo Ridge. Throughout the process, Michelle was interactive, attentive and informative. She answered all my questions, provided important information in a timely manner, was kind, and was able to hold my reservation as I had to check with the rest of my party before finalizing. The entire experience was above my expectations and I would recommend Thorn Bush and Michelle, to anyone wanting to experience an incredible, luxurious safari vacation. Thank you!

Spicy
We did visit Stonetown and Maganga Spice Farm. The visit in Stonetown was well taken care of with a good and joyfull guide and a tasty lunch. The during time was correct. The visit at Maganga Spice Farm was good and interesting. The during time, specially with a larger group, took a little too much time. My advise: keep the groups small, maximum 10 persons.

the best moments on safari
That was the best tour in Kenya. We had excellent accomodation, service and security on safari in Masai Mara. Big car only for us and the driver was excellent tour guide, he fullfilled every our wish. The office took a good care of us in Nairobi and also helped us after safari with accomodation and travelling.
These are very helpful and good people. I highly recommend this office!

confortable and safe
we did the Kruger Park Safari Tour in September. The guide Susan is an excelent guide, very professional and kind. Generally speaking, we are not disappointed about the tour experience but we didn't like to change 2 restcamps in 2 days (SKUKUZA and PRETORIUS) and in particular, we didn t like PRETORIUS Camp (where we didn t find restaurants but just a WIMPY!). The price of the tour is too expensive for this poor options.

It Started in Africa made a dream honeymoon come true
The overall experience with It Started in Africa couldn't be better, they've exceeded the high expectations i always had, it was definitely the key to make our honeymoon a dream.
The booking process perfectly handled by João Oliveira, always answering my questions extremely promptly. He understood quickly me and my wife's preferences, magnificent on tailoring our itinerary.
Airport pick-up and briefing given by Andrew, where all the details for the safari were carefully reviewed.
A special compliment to our guide Isaac, very knowledgeable, experienced and always friendly. We learned tons about all the fauna and flora of the parks
visited. Isaac is absolutely outstanding in detecting animals from far away while driving the 4x4, and yes... we got the BIG 5!!
It Started in Africa, thank you so much!

Cosy family owned guest house in a quiet part of Arusha
I came to Arusha as a guest of Farm Radio, they organised my stay at Safariland Cottages. But what a great choice they made at that, you are a true guest of the family while staying there. Mama (Csilla) is the most caring motherly figure I've had as a host. Rehema (her daughter) showed us the Arusha night life. And the staff is super friendly. I spent most of my work hours in the lovely garden they have, between the palm trees and small chickens roaming around. The rooms are comfortable, with a little desk at the window that I could sit down during the night to write a little.

The cherry on the cake during our 30 days Namibia/Botswana trip
A charming, dedicated and professional staff (thank you Kenson, Mavis and Lesley) has provided us with a four days safari in the Okavanga/Moremi area we will never forget. A tailored programme, excellent guides, a logistic team who did miracles on the cooking fire and in the camp, in sum a fantastic expierence, flavoured with détails which really make the difference between Naga Safaris and other companies. I can highly recommend Naga Safari and I will take all opportunities to forward this message to others as the Naga Safari team really deserve this. WELL DONE
