The Great Migration - A timeless safari experience with a full complement of African wilderness
My trip to Masai Mara with ‘ It Started In Africa’ was everything I expected of an Africa wilderness & much more. Never ending planes, rocky roads, the most stunning sun rise, flowing river filled with hippo & crocs & a land where animals & humans live in harmony with each other.
Masai Mara was a destination which was amongst the top ten destinations on my Bucket List. So there I went planning a trip & trying to get quotations for many local travel companies in Kenya. That’s when we came across ‘It Started In Africa’ who offered us the best packages & deals.
Particia from ‘ It Started In Africa’ was our only point of contact while I was planning the trip and she did a fabulous & commendable job. We were a group of 4 people & our plan was to visit Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara for 7 days trip & she planned our itinerary offering us amazing & comfortable stay in the lap of the nature & all in our budget.
Our guide, driver & a person with fabulous experience & knowledge Alex from the company was our companion from day 1 to day 7 and thanks to him that we witness all the drama of the Mara jungle – migratory heard of Zebras marching across the river while the hungry crocs were awaiting for their meal, a cheetah making a mad dash through the grassland attacking wildebeest or croc dramatically rising from the waters in the Mara river…. We also witnessed the Big 5 and amazing species of birds.
I could go on and on and on about our trip to the Masai Mara, and by writing this comment I just wanted to thank ‘It Started In Africa’ team, Patricia & Alex for an unforgettable experience. Keep up the fabulous work & marvellous client services. I would highly recommend ‘It Started In Africa’ for any safari trips to Africa.
Cheers.

An amazing experience with great company and great staff! (3 day Selous Safari)
We booked Kanuth's Safari based on the reviews we saw on safaribookings.com and we were not disappointed. Our Tour Guide Emmanuel and our cook Joseph were fantastic! Emmanuel was extremely knowledgeable and provided great insight into the surroundings while we were in the Selous Reserve about everything from vegetation to the wildlife (he also had a great eye for spotting animals far off in the distance). Joseph's food was amazing, (far better than we anticipated) and was very personable! The local staff at the Hippo Camp were also very friendly and great. Our boat Safari guide and our walking safari guide were also fantastic. The accommodation was also better than expected (we had a bungalow style accommodation). Everything far exceeded our expectations and was great value. We will use Kanuth's again if we end up back in Tanzania (which I think we will). Thanks Team Kanuth!

very professinal in every aspect and stages of planning and most important delivery of itinerary.
Just returned from my first experience in Southern Africa arranged by the team at Destinations Africa and I came back totally satisfied with their recommended itinerary and clock work planning in regards transfers from airports to safari lodgings without a hitch.In short Destinations Africa were great from my initial enquirers some 12 months ago to my return home from a great adventure and now planning my next one with them in the near future.

Amazing
Our guide Marc was Out of Africa- amazing, awesome, person with a passion that overflowed. He went the extra mile for us, showing us what African bush is all about. Thanks Marc. Next time put a GPS on the elusive Leopard we missed.

Our trip was outstanding. Very friendly drivers, excellent accomodations and perfect organisation
We had great expectations about our safari. Our Safari with Kenya Expresso Tours and Safari however exceeded those expecations. It was fantastic. Good communication, nice and friendly drivers and excellent service. I can´t name an item whatsoever to complain about.

2-Day Safari (Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro)
We traveled with Children and we only wanted a short Safari trip. We contacted many tour operators but finally we decided to go for Northern Circuit and we are glad we did. Northern Circuit arranged pick up at the airport, hotel (before, during and after the Safari) and arranged transport back to the airport for further adventures. Our plane was delayed with 10 hours. Instead of landing on the evening we landed early in the morning. Michael and his driver slept in the bus at the airport and when we arrived they stood outside the airport waiting for us. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with. We had two great days in Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. The last night Michael came to our hotel and socialized with us and in the morning he came and sad good bye before we left. I strongly recommend Northern Circuit as your tour operator for your Safari.

Great Time Traveling to Ruaha and Mikumi!
We had a great time on our 4 day 3 night safari from Dar to Ruaha then Mikumi before going back to Dar. Our driver, Samuel, was an excellent guide and was always looking out for us. The company offered us a package that was not so much on the 'luxury' side of safari experiences (though not on the shabby side either!) but that was good for us because it was much(!) more affordable than the other very expensive packages I was offered, a bit of an adventure, and still incredibly enjoyable. I'd recommend this company to other potential safari go-ers...and if we go back to TZ we will use them again.

Amazing tour and safari.
I went to Kenya with my 2 kids last June. We picked the 9 days 8 nights safari.
Everything was organised perfectly and the tour itself was Amazing. Lucky, our driver, was very helpful in spotting animals and Always available to accomodate our requests.
The lodges selected by Kenya Expresso were all high level in terms of facilities and location.
I definitely reccommend Kenya Expresso!
Well done

Maasai Legend Safaris is customer focused.
This safari company provided an amazing service. I visited Zanzibar in 2012 and I can't wait to return. The drivers spoke very clear English. Our consisted of seeing the 'big 5' and so much more. One of my favorite stops on the safari was the hippo pool. No question I will travel with this company again.
