Professional to a tee, the entire team do everything humanly possible to make your holiday a dream
At the outset of our planning (extended to 3years due to Covid-19) we fully expected the primate trekking aspects of our trip, both chimpanzee and gorilla, to be astonishing and unforgettable. And they were. What we not prepared for was the sheer beauty of the natural landscapes in Uganda. This completely exceeded our expectations. From the awesome power of Murchison Falls to the majestic landscapes of the Kasenda Crater Lakes, the endless view across the Nile River and of course Lake Victoria. We have travelled to more than 10 African countries and Uganda has to be among the most beautiful and alluring of them all.
David Mukwaya from Speke Uganda Holidays was our guide. From start to finish, David could not have done more to make our holiday as relaxed and smooth running as it possible could. From our evening briefings, never failing to be on time and to schedule, to the gift of a meal on the shores of Lake Victoria, even man-handling our luggage at every turn, he was the perfect gentleman. Intelligent, well-informed and polite, we discussed many topics with David during our 2 weeks together including the wildlife, how people live, how Uganda is developing, and many many more. We grew close during our two weeks together, miss him and hope to see him again sometime (may in a combined Uganda-Rwanda adventure).

Excellent 4-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Me and my husband did a 4-day private safari trip with It Started in Africa and it was the best experience! We visited 3 parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and our guide Martin was great, providing us with lots of information about the parks and animals and he was also great at tracking animals. We've seen lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and many more. We've even seen a rhino! It was very exciting, even if we saw it only from far away :)
People at It Started in Africa are very friendly, kind and helpful, e.g. they picked us up from the bus station the day before the start of our trip, and dropped us off there as well the day after (all free of charge).
I highly recommend taking a trip with them, it will be a one in a lifetime experience :)

Wonderful safari
We are a family with a 7-year-old boy and we have done a 7-day private safari, passing through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi, where we went to meet the Hadzabe tribe for a few hours. The whole trip, from the pick up at the airport to the return to it, has been spectacular. Our guide Fahdili and the cook Pasco have made this trip an unforgettable experience.
We have seen many animals of all kinds, such as lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, crocodiles, servals, leopards, hyenas, vultures, ...
We totally recommend hiring Claws of Africa, since both the organization of the trip and the human treatment have enchanted us. We hope to be able to repeat the experience in the not too distant future.

Bespoke trip to Tanzania including Kilimanjaro, safari and relaxing Zanzibar days
We just returned from an amazing Tanzania trip, thanks to Safari by Z. From the initial planning with Majid, to the further details with Mwanaidi, the communication has been both professional and with a good dialogue with great suggestions suited for us.
Lemomo was a splendid guide, driver and companion, who could spot an animal from afar. We much enjoyed all the knowledge he could share during the trip!!
Btw can highly recommend the luxury tented camps - gives a unique savanna feel.

Brilliant safari to Zambia
Once again the Luxury Safari company did an excellent job of putting together a mix of safari camps which offered excellent wildlife viewing, great comfort and a wide variety of environments. We asked Rose and her team to suggest somewhere beyond the standard Kenya, Botswana, Tanzania, S Africa camps, and Zambia (which we had not considered before) exceeded expectations. Three camps in very different areas gave us a great range and in each case the private driver/guides were excellent. The star was Puku Ridge - which was well up to the standard we saw in Singita last
All the logistics worked well and we felt entirely confident that any glitches would be solved rapidly if we had to call on the team - though we had no need to do so.
We are already planning our next safari with Rose and her team.

Serengeti and Ngorongoro
I had a great time visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania. They are most beautiful parks in Africa and I can recommend anyone visiting Tanzania to include these parks in the list.
The organization from the office was excellent, our guide Joseph was great too.
