Excellent experience
Excellent service. Extremely friendly and well knowledgeable guides. They were always ready before departure and I never had to wait on them. I will definitely use them again in future, so I highly recommend their services.

My experience with Chabo Africa Adventure was incredible and will now have lifelong memories.
The communication was very smooth and easy process. The service was extremely good and certainly lived up to my expectations. Also, the safari tour was really nice, we got to see many animals and our guide was very knowledgable with lots to add as we toured the park. He was a great professional at his job and highly recommend him to others who are traveling to Africa for a safari.

Unforgettable safari with Bramwel Safaris
There were four of us traveling with Bramwel, two adults and two children. We had 5-day safari. Fred from Bramwel was our guide. We were very lucky with him. He is extremely nice person and very knowledgeable, professional guide. He picked us up from the Kilimanjaro airport and this is how our journey has started. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks. We have seen all animals we wanted. Serengeti with its Katikati tented camp was the best. Bramwel recommended us good places to stay according to our budgets.
I recommend Bramwel as a reliable safari operator. I would go with them another time.

Review about Timbavati Nature Reserve by Ashley
We stayed at Simbavati River Lodge (part of Timbavati) and were blown away by the luxury of our rooms, the amazing service (they catered to our every need), the food (we are vegan, and they totally accommodated!) and the knowledge of our guide (Mbongene) and tracker - who took risks for himself by tracking on foot a pride of lions, just so we could see them up close. I highly recommend Simbavati to anyone, and would love to return with our son for more safari!

Review about Selous Game Reserve by Tor Arne Fallingen
The park displayed a lot of what I feel African nature is like, it has dense vegetation areas and sparse vegetarion areas. It has the common animals, but you may not get to see the more rare ones. As our guide said, Selous you might not see everything, but you get close to the animals you see. In Mikumi you drive in hills and mountains, you may see more, but need good spectacles to make out what animal it is. This is 2 reserves easily accessible from Dar es Salaam, its not Serengeti og NgoroNgoro, which I understand is something completely different in many ways. But when we visited, there were 1 other car in the park, we saw it at the gate going in, so we didnt drive in a Safari convoy, this I appreciate.

Unbelievable
During my visit to Chobe national park, i stayed at Chobe Game Lodge, which was truly amazing: the staff was so attentive, everything was milimetrically planned and the only thing you have to worry about is training your eyes to spot the animals among those amazing landscapes.
the chobe river makes this park quite unique, with spectacular sunsets from the cruises, and also gives space to a lot of birds. On the other hand, chobe is the greatest elephant reserve i have ever seen.
Guides at chobe game lodge were really well trained, and it was specially remarkable how the lodge has invested in electric safari cars, which generate no pollution and, whats even better, make almost no noise and do not scare animals away.
Last but not least, food was 10/10 during my stay.

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!

#Dream-like experience, # it can't get any better than this.
I lack the words to describe how lucky and grateful I feel with Flight of the Eagle Safaris & Tours; Johan And Elize absolutely blew my expectations. I felt like royalty, not only I always had a sense of safety and reliability with Johan and Elize, but they also became our friends, I could never get enough of Johan's humor and knowledge, and Elize is a wizard when it comes to making sure everything runs smoothly, to the highest standards, and according to our expectations. The places we went to were beyond amazing: luxurious, friendly, knowledgeable and adventurous! As to the safari itself, if you are looking for and adventure filled with beauty and awe I cannot say enough great things, this. is. it. We not only saw "The Big Five" (Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard, Lion), but also had the humbling experience of watching a cheetah devouring its kill from about 5-10 steps away!!! We also saw two mating leopards on a kill (very rare to see leopards together); and saw from up-close a huge, majestic adult lion resting in the inconspicuously in tall grass while other younger lions (big though)and lionesses wandered around us (kind of scary because it was hard to tell their location because of the tall grass). I learned so much I could be a guide at a zoo haha. If that's not enough my family and I took a combined amount of approximately 20,000 pictures!!! that means 20,000 picture-worth sights. I want to go back there so bad, there is no such a thing as feeling home-sick when you are in paradise with two great fun, and personable guides that will undoubtedly become your friends!!!

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.
