Excellent
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
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
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
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
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

An amazing once in a lifetime experience, made possible by Joao, Baraja and the Team
We floated a question on a Search Engine requesting for a Tour Operator who could plan a safari for us .Joao picked up our request with such alacrity that left us wondering if he is on the computer all the time! A string of E-mails followed and the rest as they say is history! Within a fortnight our trip was finalised. We landed in Tanzania and were met by Dickson who was to be our Guide for the next 6 days. Not only did we see the Big 5 (Dickson made sure that we did..) but the entire experience of the Trip-be it the Balloon Ride or the Night Safari or the Game drives or the packed lunches or the provision of the Field Glasses, were meticulously planned.All this was possible because of the professionalism of the Team- Joao ,Baraja,Sylvia,Elizabeth et al.Once we moved to Kenya,Patricia and Martin took over to give us an equally enriching experience at Amboseli and Nairobi.The Lodges that had been booked for us were wonderful especially Kibo Lodge in Amboseli.A Big Thank you to the entire Team of "It Started in Africa". Even before we touched down in India, we had started planning for another trip next Year!!!!
