Really extraordinary!!!
We (me and my daugther) can not forget the amazing experience of this safary with It started in Afrika. Since first contacts we felt we had found excellent professional team with comunication skills really good. The planning of the safary, the care that all team receives us, the guide was superb with good knowledge of fauna and flora and unique vision to detect animals, the cultural tours provided with real contacts with hadazbe and datoga tribes... were superb.
The warming way that all team of It Started take care with us, we will never forget.
For example, i was so good receive a call from our guide wich we left at Seregenti airport some moments after we land in Arusha, to assure that we hd a good flight and we were in good way to our Arusha Hotel, was really GREAT.
Our Afrika experience, is unforgetable, and it Started in Afrika team was the pillar of this felling.
All the Best.

Unforgettable holiday
It was our first voyage outside Europe and it was very good. Paolo and Enrica studied a personal tour for us. The organization was perfect. We always stayed in places beautiful, friendly and clean.
In the first part of tour we were very close to nature, we had 6 safari, we saw big five, many other animals and Blyde River Canyon. We slept in the bush in Masodini Lodge where we could see animals from our lodge (we also found efficient and really friendly people) and also in a tree-lodge in 'Nthambo Tree Camp.
In the second part of tour we were in the south: Cape Town, Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Seal Island, Boulder's beach with penguins, the winelands and Hermanus (whale watching from the coast...and also from our sea-view room). We had two tours booked from them (Cape of Good Hope and winelands). They were very good.
Very professional and honest tour operator, I suggest them for a South African experience.

Exquisite in every aspect!
Thoroughly organized. Mr Esmail was brilliant in his organization skills. We didn't even have to reach out to him for any information, he'd always keep us in the loop. The guides were superb. From their friendly attitude, to their motivational pep talks that kept us going just when we thought we couldn't go any further. Definitely made the whole Kili experience one to remember. Definitely recommend Safari Big 5 to anyone looking to undergo this expedition. Big up lads! Keep up the terrific work
Very happy with Bright African Safaris
When I contacted a few safari companies to arrange a six-day tour of Tanzania’s northern parks in September 2014, Mr. Msangi Charema at Bright African Safaris stood out for his prompt, friendly, and upbeat response. I chose to book my trip through him, and I am happy I did. From our first email to my last day when Msangi himself drove me to the airport (he also met me upon my arrival), it was a pleasure to work with him. With limited knowledge and research, I proposed a preliminary itinerary which Msangi was happy to fulfill, but he was quick to suggest alternatives he believed would improve my experience. I am so glad that he did, because it was his advice that really made the trip special. He insisted that I see the Serengeti when I at one point considered missing it due to distances and my limited time. The Serengeti turned out to be the crown jewel of the trip, and knowing what I know now, I would not have missed it for anything. This year, the rains - and animals - remained concentrated around my central Serengeti camp, making for an incredible wildlife spectacle. In early negotiations when I suggested a change to smaller, more unique accommodations, Msangi provided a range of interesting options, and the lodges and camps I chose were all wonderful experiences. My guide Masatu was also a joy to be with. He is a happy, gregarious man with many friends in Arusha and the guide community, and is a courteous, friendly, and fun companion. Thank you Masatu and Msangi!

We did a safari trip for 4 days including accommodation area with " FOCUS IN AFRICA " .
We Vsnrgti and Vengrongro. The scenery was amazing and the lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs and other animals have increased Athhwih.
Really enjoyed, the guide was really nice and told us about all the animals.
Chef also had us waiting for us at the end of each day and mornings are invested and delicious meals.
I really recommend the company " FOCUS IN AFRICA " !

Gorilla Trek Rwanda with Umubano Tours - go for it!
Great experience. At very short notice (14 days before) we decided to include a gorilla trek within our activities in Rwanda. Very easy communication with Herbert from home and great organisation at Musanze. Information, transport, payment - everything clear and reliable! The trek itself was gorgeous - still shivvering when thinking at first encounter with the Susa Group! I do recommend Umubano Tours!
The Best Of Many Safari Experiences
In June 2014 myself and my husband booked a Safari holiday in Zambia through Mike Haines of Safari & Company. We are so pleased we made this decision as it turned out to be our best Safari of all time! Our communications with Safari & Company were dealt with promptly and efficiently. All our travel arrangements were faultless from the initial contact with Mike to discuss our ideas for a safari in Zambia, to booking accommodation, meet and greet at various airports, a special diet request and recommended clothing to take. Mike took a lot of trouble to match our various ideas and requests to a Safari itinerary that would best suit us. We stayed at three bush camps in South Luangwa, Chinzombo initially for a couple of nights luxury to acclimatize and then on to two smaller Norman Carr bush camps, Mchenja and Nsolo. All three camps were great, we were really well looked after, we had the safari vehicles to ourselves and the guides and game sightings were amazing. We then flew to Lower Zambezi and stayed at Chiawa camp, another fabulous place to stay, with options for river activities alongside game drives and walks. Mike has previously lived and worked as a guide in Africa and his depth of knowledge is second to none, his love of Africa is infectious!
