Fantastic safari with ISIA!
Choosing a safari company on the Northern Tanzanian circuit is not an easy task, as there are MANY companies!
From the beginning I could tell that It Started in Africa is a company with a difference ... from the great website, and Joao's attentive and prompt email responses which puts one at ease regardless of your type of query.
The good experience continued upon arrival in Arusha and meeting Baraja (Director) and other ISIA staff.
I was travelling solo through Tanzania and wanted to join a group of travellers to do the 5 day safari with - ISIA helped with linking me up with a group.
And as for the safari itself ... its hard to go wrong with destinations like the Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater - but ISIA certainly made the trip a whole lot better through a fantastic guide (Dickson) and the food which was well prepared by chef Roman.

wonderful experience!!!
The decision to rely on Kenya Expresso Tours And Safaris (Ket Safaris) was the best we could do!
We are lovers of nature and photography and by the time we were curious to see the great natural spectacle that is the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara park (crossing the river of the same name).
After careful research on the internet about the program that we wanted to do, we sent multiple requests for quote .: Ket Safaris offering excellent lodges (all parks and stations: 2 nights Lake Nakuru Lodge, Sarova Mara Lodge 1 night, 3 nights Ashnil Mara Camp), Land Cruiser sunroof with private driver exclusively for us (we met vans packed with people!) and the best price (all inclusive).
Certified agency in Kenya, Paul (owner of the agency) and 'immediately proved to be very helpful and answered our questions (and doubts) within a few hours. Posted advance, we made the balance directly to our arrival at the airport where (arrived at 4 am!) We met Paul, and together, the one who will be our guardian angel: Francis, the best guide we could hope to meet.
Always friendly, smiling, in order, available in our every request and requirement, Francis has great experience, he knows every path of the parks and (importantly) the best stalking. Nicknamed by his colleagues "who found the animals" and in continuous contact with Mr Jackson and Pascal (also excellent guides Ket Safaris), with intuition and patience, we are back in ambush after everyone had left and we were able to assist in two stages, crossing the Mara is a huge herd of wildebeest .. in two phases because interrupted by the attack of a lioness in the first and not 'failed (the baby wildebeest and' saved by the intervention of the mother), while the second has attacked and killed a wildebeest adult. The scene is set and 'turning a few meters and I guarantee that, in such a context, the unfolding of Nature has not horrified ns. sensitivity ': kill to live and to continue the species (shortly after and' came another lioness that clearly showed signs of lactation). In addition to this we have seen a short distance herds of lions, buffaloes, zebras, gazelles of each species, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, rhinoceros, leopard (anche'esso hunting but failed), the cheetah with 4 wonderful puppies.
All this thanks, again, to stalking intelligent and patient during which the dear Francis never showed impatience or fatigue ... ..Anzi in the most 'heavy always has a ready smile, a good joke, a contagious laugh.
At the end of the journey Paul, the owner of the agency, greeted us wondering how it had come and offered us a wonderful dinner in a good restaurant in Mombasa!
Continue to describe what we saw would take too long but I hope I have conveyed a little of the enthusiasm with which we returned.
It 's not the first safari we do (always arranged by us, we visited South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana ... .adesso and' added the Western Kenya Safaris and thanks to Ket., Paul, Francis and indirectly in Jackson, Pascal and 'was a unique experience that has allowed us to "unplug" from our wonderfully daily routine and come back with so many beautiful images in the heart and the mind.

Lovely Tour, and Lovely People.
Hello, I wanted to write a review because I think that the tour operator deserves a special mention. I had been on a tour once before to Tanzania and had enjoyed it thoroughly. My son decided to buy me a ticket to this tour as a birthday gift. I was really nervous as I hadn't traveled for so long and I was going alone. Once the tour started the Friendly Staff and Lovely food set my mind at ease and I really enjoyed my time, The trip was absolutely great and I actually meet some great people who were on the tour with me. I'm heading home in a day or two, what a special time I've had. Thanks To All

Excellent stay in a wonderful land
We spent a week in Tanzania for our honeymoon travel. Since the first contact in programming our journey, Roberto (the Italian co-owner) was very professional and incredibly quick in answering to any our question or doubt. We also met the Tanzanian co-owner Greyson during our first day, who gave and confirmed us every detail in our weekly program and gave us all the contacts that might be necessary in case of need. As landed in Kilimanjaro airport we found our driver/guide/friend Said that brought us among the best parks and landscapes we have ever seen (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the fantastic Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater), showing all his professionality and knowledge in flora and fauna. We were amazed by his ability in noticing smallest figures and recognizing wildbeast while we were not able to recognize them even with lenses (..and he was always right!!) and in his ability in getting in best positions for watching and anticipate beasts' moving. Last but not least he is a very funny person without ever losing is professionality during our game drives.
Lodges and tented camps were all perfect, they have fully satisfied our expectations. We warmly suggest this T.O. to everyone wants to discover this fantastic country.

Fantastic family safari
My family and I were looking for a first time safari experience and did a ot of research on who we should book with. We came across Safarhub and approached them for prices. They offered us a fantastic itinerary offering value for money and a french translator as most of my family don't speak English. We had a fantastic experience on safari, saw the big 5, stay at really good lodges. Would really recommend Safarihub for the first time traveller.
