Fantastic
5/5


I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big Thank you for the 3 day Safari you organized for me last week. 2 days in the Mara and 1 day at Lake Nakuru.

The tour was fantastic we got to see an amazing amount of animals as well as The Big 5, and to top it all to see a cheetah kill. We were not expecting flamingos at Lake Nakuru due to the high water levels but were lucky to see a good flock of birds.

A very special thank you to Issac our guide, his professionalism was outstanding, and game guiding skills were fantastic, I think if it were not for him we would have not seen half of the wildlife that we did. Thanks Issac

5/5

It all felt very professional and organized. We lost a flight connection and they rescheduled our tour promptly. Our guide Isaac was always motivated, respectful and with amazing eyes. Many times he brought us to places to see fantastic scenes and we were the first to arrive. He would wait sine minutes before letting other drivers know about it by radio :) It was suberb!

Excellent
5/5

Excellent tour operator. All was handled smoothly and the service was exquisite and special, from the office staff to the great (now a friend!) guide to all the staff from the camps where we stayed. All made us feel warm and welcome. Great vacations we will never forget. Will return definitely.

perfect trip
5/5

From the first contact to the last - 'It Started in Africa' proved to be a fantastic company. Dixon - the guide was fantastic and our 6 day safari was nothing short of spectacular.
I can't imagine the trip being any better......
Customer service is amazing: before, during and after our trip...
Thank you to all involved.

great migration in ndutu
5/5

This safari was probably the best vacations in our life. We chose it started in africa for their glowing reviews, reputation and fantastic customer support. We were advised that at this time of the year we should go to the south of the serengeti to see the wildbeests migration. It was surreal. I would need Shakespeare help to put into words what we saw and experienced.

we even saw the the wildbeests giving birth, 2 hunts, many lions, 5 cheetah, 3 leopards, 2 rhinos.

we loved our guide Martin. Very professional and experienced. I cant recommend them more.

A great Safari
5/5

Me and my friends went on a Masai Mara Safari with ISIA in February 2015. The price was ok, above average if you consider all tour operators but below average if you only count the reputable ones. Joao was very fast in accommodation ou requests. Staff was great and the experience was incredible. We used Royal Mara camp.

Perfect. Could not ask for more
5/5

Having never been outside Europe, traveling to Africa was always a bit nervous in the beginning. Somehow, after starting speaking with Joao and Luis Gama from It Started in Africa by phone and email, we became more at ease. They were incredibly informative, trustworthy, always there for us and had a very transparent company and price structure. They were the reason for us having the best vacations in our lives. We had everything we could hope for and more. From wildlife to adventure to paradisiac beaches and fantastic people, from the guide to the cook and office staff. I will come back guys
