We stayed at Old Vic, the funky backpackers, and had the best safari. Fantastic!
We sent an inquiry to Kruger Flexi Tours about staying at the backpackers and a safari. Dave got back in touch right away with suggestions for a tour. A few quick (and quite informative) emails later we booked the trip. Upon arrival at Old Vic, we were impressed with how nice it looks in real life. Quite relaxed, great deck, patio, and gorgeous birds. A very friendly family - made us feel right at home. The safari exceeded expectations. Marc was focused on our safety and definitely wanted us to enjoy the trip. It worked! We were more than lucky in seeing a good amount of animals. The food, scenery, people, sense of humor, ensuring all were included, no worries about running off the road as you stare at a huge elephant, and good stories were fantastic. We asked every stupid question. Dave & Marc covered them all. Yes 100 percent!

Amazing!!
We used ISIA to book a 10 day Kenya/Tanzania safari and then a 6 day Kili climb. Everyone was amazing from the planning process to the execution. They are quick to answer emails, their prices are very reasonable and our whole trip went off seamlessly. All of our guides were excellent as well as the porters on the Kili climb, funny and happy and so personable! We did Rongai route and I would recommend it as it was beautiful and not crowded. On Safari we saw all the animals and our budget level accommodations were extremely comfortable and exceeded my expectations. Try camping - it is more fun than you know to lay in a tent and listen to lions roar from afar ! We even had a group of hyenas visit our campsite in the serengeti one night and that was great fun!
I can't recommend this company more strongly! Just go, you will have the time of your life! Thanks so much to Joao and everyone at ISIA for an amazing trip!

Provided wonderful planning assitance with thorough and timely respones all at a very fair price.
Working with Ben and Aurelie was a great experience. As independent travelers, we had specific ideas about where we thought we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Their on-the-ground knowledge and experience gave us relevant insight and guided us through the whole process. Their suggestions were spot on and made for a great trip. Timely responses and detailed info was routine. And, the price was better than most packaged options.

Amazing sights and relaxing get away
Fantastic time - driver picking us up was amazing and really chatty and friendly.
Pilanesberg was awesome.
I recommend doing at least 2 nights - I only did 1 due to time restraints, loved it but would have enjoyed more of the facilities if I was there longer.

A lifetime experience!
We did 5 days and 4 nights of safari according to the advice of It Started in Africa team. It couldn’t be better. We saw all the big 5, the chosen parks were awesome as all the staff (guide and chef). I don’t have words to describe how careful ISIA team can be, I honestly felt that for them our experience and satisfaction is a priority and they were able to adapt and deliver it. They also helped us with everything in our Zanzibar’s trip and what a huge help it was.
Please keep up the passion you have for this and for sure i will to do it again!!!
For those who are searching to have this kind of experience, don’t think twice to do it with It Started in Africa.

An amazing and unforgetable experience
We’ve had a special time with Asilia in northern Tanzania (Tarangire) and in Kenya, into the Masai Mara National Park and we could’t be happier with the whole thing! In both occasion the staff was very, very nice, making sure you feel at home, even being in the middle of the savana. In both lodges we stayed in their beautiful luxury tents and the experience was amazing. Being so close to the wild and at the same time having such incredible service is priceless. The safaris were very interesting as well, we’ve seen a lot of animals and enjoyed great breakfast in the best location of the parks with our guides! What an experience…

It was the best choice to do our safari with Speke Uganda, really reliable.
We really enjoyed since the first day, our driver was very nice and he really cared about us and tried to makes us happy every moment. It was more than we expected and we are very happy to have done our gorilla trekking safari with this company.

Greatly organized safari with tremendous guides
We enjoyed very much an over two weeks safari organised by Safari Travel Waves in Kenya and Tanzania . Our drivers/guides Tom and Thomas were extremely nice and helpful trying to show as much as possible of the National Parks beauty and wildness . The trip was very well prepared and everything was working according the previously agreed with Edwina and her team precise schedule and budget . Edwina was extremely patient answering to all our questions prior to our arrival .We strongly recommend Africa Travel Ways as your tourist agent for wonderful holidays in Africa.
