Amazing Country! Highest Service Quality!
- Super friendly & flexible: Philemon came to meet us after every event and got feedback on how to improve things for the next set of things. He went out of his way to help out my friends who had some delayed baggage.
- Work Crew: The people that aardvark seems to work with all seemed top notch. Our guides & crew for the Kilimanjaro trek were super attentive and made sure that we were well fed (the food was pretty yummy) & helped us make it to Uhuru Point. Even singing songs to motivate us on summit day which I didn't see anyone else do that night!! All of us made it to the top. The safari guide was also extremely professional & knowledgeable about the area and the animals.
- Equipment - most of the equipment was in pretty good shape. I had some trouble on the tent zips during the kili hike, i would urge that they add a checklist on these tents before sending them up the mountain. The Safari jeep was brand new. The safari jeep was also in pretty good shape.
- Lodging - The lodging that Aardvark booked for us for the safari (Kati Kati Lodge in Serengeti & Rhino Lodge at Ngorogoro) were amazing - Scenic, Great Service, Clean & awesome showers. The Arusha outpost lodge: not so great (the only good things here are the Indian food at the lodge cafe & the WIFI - works better than in most other places but the showers here suck big time)
Overall, The experience was great. The value for money was excellent. We made some friends for life.

Amazing adventure with really experienced guide
Kiliholidays was really excellent. We really didn't know what to expect when you are arranging your safari from so far away. We were very pleasantly surprised that Mack our contact had sent our driver to collect us from the airport then we met him at his office to go over the finer details. We had good accommodation in Arusha and set off early the next day for Lake Manyara. This is very beautiful and a great introduction to the wildlife we saw later. We camped the first night to save on cost which was good and the food was excellent. The next day was spent heading to the Serengeti, we saw lots of Masai and plenty of wildlife. Our guide John was very experienced and spotted animals we couldn't even see.
Our accommodation in serena lodge was spectacular, no fences and wildlife is all around you. The next day was in serengetu again then onto Ngorogoro crater. This was really a special place for us with so much animals all in one place. We saw everything and again stayed at the Serena lodge in that location which is one of the best hotels I have ever been too. This ezoerince with Kiliholidays will be one we will not forget. We did this as a family with our 8 year old daughter who absolutely loved it too even though we spent a lot of time in the safari vehicle. I would recommend Kiliholidays to everyone.

good experience
Hi , we visited mikumi national park with hellotanzania. Ms mjwabu sultan arranged the tour and ws very helpful about the whole arrangement. V left at 5 am in the morning with the driver coming at the gate to pick us up on time in a safari vehicle. The only draw back was that it didnt hv ac in it and the weather is hot here. V were stoppd at certain places for breakfast etc. We were also provided juices, cashew nuts, apples, drinking water during the travel. After v entered the park the driver took us to proper places to show us the wildlife. Thr we took lunch and game drive for 4 hours and then returned back n reachd dar es salam at 12 midnite as v r new in dar the driver n the whole company made us feel very comfy. Will recommend u always guys.. Kip it up!!

We used Falcon Safaris only to arange our accomodation etc in Chobe Safari Lodge and were assisted by Patrick Manyika. He was quick with responses(via email) and through that helped us to plan accordingly.

Unforgettable family vacation!
I went on safari with Larga when I was volunteering as a Peace Corps volunteer and my grandparents came to visit. Larga safari went above and beyond to accomadate the interests of my family and me. We visited three tribes, and we were able to get a glance at how these tribes lived. Both Alex and his son Allen have impeccable English and we enjoyed many meals talking with them and sharing stories. We visted Manyara national park, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The lodging was nice at all of them and they served great food. We really enjoyed staying at a tented (Still had running water and real beds) lodge in the Serengeti where we were able to hear lions grunting and communicating at night. This is a smaller tour operator so it was all nice supporting a family run business.

Wonderful Safari, Perfect Service! It Started in Africa is THE company to choose
We are extremely happy with our safari and would definitely recommend It Started in Africa! From the trip organization till the very end of the safari, everything has gone very smoothly.
The safari itself has been an incredible and fabulous experience. Our guide Charles definitely contributed to make this trip unforgettable thanks to his professionalism, friendliness and great commitment to show the best of this beautiful nature and wildlife. We were able (and lucky) to see all Big Fives, a Cheetah hunt..etc. So big thanks again to Charles and to It Started in Africa!!

Fantastic well run safari experience
We found the communication with the owner to be excellent and our payment was handled professionally and smoothly. We were looking for a budget trip if such a thing exists in Uganda and were not disappointed. Our guide went above and beyond to ensure we were safe and well catered for throughout our trip. We covered many miles and laughed non stop with Joseph. As well as gorilla trekking we also wanted to see chimps and all our passes were sorted for us expertly and with no fuss. Would highly recommend this company.

Unforgettable safari and very professional guide
I communicated with Noah over a month before our safari and he was very responsive, professional and helpful. Denis our guide and driver was a very nice and professional guide. We had an unforgettable experience and the lodges were fantastic! Well worth the money. The car was big and could take on bad roads. Highly recommended!
