Amazing trip!
I found the agency online and they got back to me in only few hours with all the information. Very profesional since the begining.
The trip was nicely organized, our driver was amazing, great route and loges - the only loge that was okish was in Arusha, but after telling the agency, they found a better one for us.
Highly recomended!

A company that puts you in first place
The whole experience with this company was always defined by how they made us feel special. Since the first email conversation with Paula, to the first phone call with Joao, to the first personal contact with Mr. Baraja and Sylvia, it looked like everyone was focused on making our journey feel special and exclusive. In 30 years of travel I never witness such dedication to customer care. The safari itself was a wonderful and magical experience. Great guide, great adventure, lots of wildlife. Everything was beyong my wildest expectations.

It Started in Africa - 5 Stars! Maasai Mara, Kenya
After weeks of research my best buddy I decided to book a private safari through It Started In Africa. Why? Pretty simple: Helder and the entire crew were very professional, responsive and informative. The transaction was very smooth, once we got to Nairobi, Kenya, the hotel pick up was on time, and the logistics and our itinerary was crystal clear and very well set up. The camp we stayed at (for 3 days) was very clean, safe and they delighted us with the most delicious food. The Maasai Mara itself it's one of those things that every person should experience at least once in their lifetime. This is the first time I write a review online ever, but my experience with It Started in Africa demanded it. If you are reading this and you are unsure whether to book a safari through It Started in Africa, I assure you; you will not regret it at all and you will have an amazing experience just like we did. All the best you guys!

One of the best trips of my life
We truly enjoy our time in Africa with "It Started in Africa" and the safari is great and the Kilimanjaro hike is amazing, the time in Zanzibar is also incredible. I only have good things to say about the company and will recommend it to anyone.

great service
Amazing experience in Amboseli National Park. Patricia, the operations director met us in the airport for a quick pre-briefing and was very nice to show us the best places for dinner around Nairobi. We ended up having dinner in an Italian restaurant which I do not remember the name but had awesome food and great Italian wine. Driver Faral was everything we needed: Knowledge, experience, humor and kindness in the same package :) Experience was top notch on all aspects.

An awesome safari experience in Kenya with It Started in Africa
We had a very refreshing tour of kenya this end may, first I wish to start with three people from kenya who made our first foreign tour a great sucess.We donot have the luck to meet our main savior from the company, Mr Helder who did everything possible to accomodate all your wishes ,our sincere gratitude to all of them.The other two wonderful people Carlos and Alex were our drivers cum guides and we all dreamt and wihed they be with us for ever.
It Started in Africa was very much helpful and communicatve since very begining, i.e when we were planning the trip. They help a lot in making the plans, arranged a pair of comfortable safari vehicles driven by knowledgable guides who were very thoughtful and protective as well. The safari plannings were excellent, as well as lodging and foods.

Amazing experience!
I did a 11 days safari with It Started in Africa and it was a fantastic experience! I went to Kenya and Tanzania and it was a wonderful experience that i will never forget. I was doing a safari alone and also a world traveller so it was a big challenge and they succeed!
Starting for Joao, he is extremly patient and he explained me everything! When i was planning my tour i sent him over than 50 emails and he answer me each time with all the info and very kind. He did his best to meet all my expectations!
Kenya
Guide: Simon is the best guide!, really. He is very respectful, punctual, kind, patient and has the best eye!!! I had the chance to witness so many things thanks to his patience, I saw lions coupling, I saw lions, hienas, buffalos and elephants fighting together, we saw a cheetah on a tree, etc. I saw all the animals without being hurry up. He just turned off the engine and let me enjoy, believe me: we stopped for 30 min watching animals. I also saw the other guides and not all have that amount of patience, they wait 5 minutes and after that go. He also suggested to go to naivasha, it was a great experience, we took the boat and I walked on the island, superb! He also suggested a visit to a Masai village and I really enjoyed! Simon is the best guide, you can trust him any person or group, they will not be disappointed. Ask for him, his is the best!
All the lodges were perfect, they made a mix between the tented camps and some luxury and it was more than perfect, everyday was a new surprise and adventure, loved it!
- Enkerende: Cristina, the owner and Luis, the manger, made my stay really cozy, I felt at my home, we dinner together and talked about Africa and many many things, both were really kind and welcoming. Its perfect to stay there because they have almost all the animals around and you can be very near from them, love it!
- Siwa bush lodge: The guys were amazing! I arrived after a long day and they took the dinner to my room. I had wifi so I was very happy! The room and the bath were perfect! The best food I ate in Kenya, also the picnic!!!
I went to Masai mara, you must go! Also visited lake Naivasha, the boat ride is a new experience and i walk in the island is a unique experience. I visited lake Nakuru and there you can find White rhinos very near! Finally we arrived to Amboselli and the landscape is very different and the elephants are so big!
Tanzania
Guide: Chicho is really funny! He is always happy and is a good person, with so many dreams and joy for life, if you are lucky and he is your guide you will laugh a lot. I was looking for the climbing lions on the trees and he found them! Also i want to wath a big male lion with a big mane and he found it. He is awesome!
All the lodges were perfect but you MUST stay in Ang ata, the experience is unreal!!! You have to do it, in Serengueti you will sleep in the middle of the plains! The staff is the best, they will take care of you and you will feel completly safe. In Ang Ata Ngorongoro you will have the best dinner in Africa and also a luxury experience!
I went to Serengueti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro.
Of course i saw the big 5!!!
