amazing tour to the top of Kilimanjaro
It Started in Africa offered me an unforgettable wonderful hike to the top of Kilimanjaro. I did the 4-days Marangu route in February 2022. The company prepared and organized the trip well. They were uncomplicated, gave me all necessary informations and offered the tour for good value (what i'm sure about after talking with other tourists during the hike who booked with different companies). For preparation the guide helped me to choose the right warm clothes. During the trip the team served me nice food. The guide was experienced and I enjoyed the good company of the friendly and helpful cook and porters. They also supported and motivated me much, so that i could make the last difficult hundred meters to the top. And that was an incredible amazing experience!! Unique wonderful nature with a stunning view. Thank you It started in Africa for the trip, I would definitively book with you again.

Amazing Once in a Lifetime Experience!
From start to finish our tour was perfect. All the lodges were incredible, the food delicious and the scenery stunning! If you book, you NEED to request Martin as your guide. He took a good vacation and made it amazing! He found all of the Big 5 in the space on just one morning and really took his time finding animals that other cars just drove by. Cannot say enough good things. However, it is Africa and if you are not a flexible person this experience may not be for you - there are uncontrollable factors like weather, bumpy roads and other unforeseeable circumstances that come up. It Started in Africa did a great job of rolling with the punches and we enjoyed our time despite a few last minute tweaks! Would recommend to everyone!!

If you want personal attention, good equipment and a beautiful definitely go to here. I recommend it. A+++

Amazing Tanzania with ItStartedInAfrica
We had an amazing experience with Baraja who guided us through the parks. He made a lot of effort to bring us to the best places and made us to see all the animals what we wanted to see. He has a bright knowledge about the Safari experience and we only can recommend him!

A dream came true
I did the trip in Aug 2021 together with my son and a friend and her son. There were no other people on the group. The guide was excellent organizing everything in advance. All emails were answered within 24 hours and everything was organized very well. One day before we started they came to the hotel to talk about the tour and the plans in detail. Our driver was always in a good mood, always in touch with other drivers so we did not miss one lion and an excellent driver. He speaks very well English, so communication was very easy. I think we were also lucky with our cook. We were always served a three course dinner and a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, pancake and drinks. Lunch was sometimes a pick nick and sometimes served in the camp. His fried bananas are the best I have ever tried!!!!

Outstanding experience!!!!
We definitively recommend "It Started in Africa" and strongly suggest if at all possible to benefit from the services: tremendous knowledge and very skilled driver, always smiling, and listening very carefully to our requests to stop or slow down or move to a different place. A very nice safari in Arusha 6090, Tanzania.

Highly Recommeded
My wife and I did a 6 day Safari for our Honeymoon last October and it was amazing.
We booked everything from Mexico City and since the first day we contacted It Started in Africa we had an excellent service and a taylor made experience.
We asked them for several changes since we started quoting and the team's response was prompt and flexible for booking us the best experience.
Once we arrived they had everything sorted out and the 6 days we shared with Zaire Mgeta (professional driver) and Happygod Urassa (professional guide) made everyday unforgettable.
We would highly recommend anyone who wants to have a SAFARI trip in Tanzania to book with It

Best Experience in Safari with ITS and amazing first Time in Africa.
Just before the lockdown due to COVID 19; We had the best time in Safari and visit to Zanzibar-Thanks to Itstartedinafrica.com
We are very happy we had a chance to travel before two months of lockdown, the safari went very well and we enjoyed the beginning of the calving season. Our guide had loads of experience and was good at sharing with us his knowledgeable of the wildlife. Throughout the booking, the company was very helpful in explaining different levels of safari, accomodation and comfort.
I was very inquisitive and I got clarifications, the owner attended us personally and explained every little details we asked of and his guides and cooks are very hard working. They made me and my husband enjoy our safari and we were treated with utmost kindness and shown their beautiful country and experience their culture. They organised visit to local villages and we engaged with the locals, such a good experience and would highly recommend. Advise for fellow travels is that don't chose economy safari but expects luxury safari service. The company offered us three choices and we chose luxury safari which meant we stayed in 4star hotels with high security and modern facilities as opposed to camping in tents.
Enjoy your safari.
