Personalized client optimized safary without fault
We communicated to Round Africa Travel our wishes, budget and our characteristics: result we had two great weeks divided into 4 distinct phases, in between travel and pickups which without exception functioned perfectly on time with very kind assistance. Each phase was unique, animals scenery, hospitality. We enjoyed the very individual assistance of our guides, and we were amazed of the their deep knowledge. Astonishing how Round Africa was able to organize for us exactly the kind of travel which we we think as optimal.

Thanks for this inspiring tour
It Started in Africa made our friends last minute tour to the Serengeti perfect. We were able to book the tour with them departing in just 2 days. We saw the big5, had great binoculars, the vehicle was really nice, the staff (Simon and Zaire) were always laughing with us and teaching us stories about africa and the wildlife. It was really hard to say goodbye and after visiting so many countries, this was the most special tour I've had the pleasure to make.

Next time still we would book with “Inclusive Holidays Africa” for they have great services.
It was our second time to book with “Inclusive Holidays Africa.” We found our driver waiting for us at the Jomo Kenyatta airport. Our group from S. Korea was the first one to arrive. Our drive (Moses) drove us to the hotel, as he had to go back for our partners from the states, who arrived 4hours later. From the moment we arrived at the airport, the reception by the team was so friendly and professional. Our itinerary was simply the best so to speak. The “Inclusive Holiday Africa” did a good job in hotel selection. We had a great stay in Nairobi even though it was only 1 night; the staff made it such a wonderful place to be. Even though we didn’t enjoy our dinner because we were tired but all the meals were enjoyed throughout. Our safari was worthy the money. We visited the Tsavo East and West National Park. We enjoyed the morning and evening game drives. One of the great places we went and enjoyed most was at the Salt Lick hotel where we had the opportunity of view animals at a close range because of the strategic position of the hotel. If you haven’t fed a giraffe in your lifetime, then we did at Nairobi giraffe center on our way back. Time flies fast when on safari, one week was just like two days. At the end of our Kenyan safari, my friends from the states had this to say, “Kenya is the best place for safari…we enjoyed every bit of our safari. Can’t wait to come back again. Next time still we would like to book with “Inclusive Holidays Africa” for they have great services.”

Very helpfull and friendly, went well out there way to help and accomodate us in our booking.
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. They really made the booking a breeze for us. It was a trip that was planned late and almost called off due to the lack of knowledge of hotels and time I have for making bookings. Got given Debbie's number and told to phone. I am very glad that I did. She helped out in a timely fashion and in allot of detail, always open for questions. They went well out of there way to help finalise the booking which showed great dedication to provide a awesome service to there valued customers. I would and will recommend their services to others as I was very impressed. Thanks to their team.!!

we hoped for a journey of a lifetime and Caracal Tours made it even better!
My husband and I had an idea about our journey through Tanzania. We already made a trip of our dreams. We emailed a couple of touroperators (around 20 different operators) and at the end was Caracal Tours the only operator who could make our wishes come true for a good price. We had a lot of personal emailcontact and nothing was too much. After a couple of emails we had our trip of our dreams.
We climbed the Mount Meru, we went to Manyara NP, visited the Masaai, the Hadzabe and the Datoga Tribe, we saw lake Eyasi, the Olmoti and the Embakaai Crater. We also went to the Ngorongoro crater and to the Serengeti NP. After this we climbed the Oldoinyo Lengai, where my husband asked me to marry me. Then we went to Moshi for a coffeefarmtrip. After all of this, we had to relax on Zanzibar for a couple of days.
Bernard was a very good guide. He was friendly and we laughed a lot. He's born and raised in Tanzania and because of this he can let you experience Tanzania as it is. With every adventure we had different guides and every guide was amazing. They were very good and that made it even more special. Bernard knows which guide is good. We met a lot of people and everyone is special to us.
Not only my husband asked me to marry me in Tanzania, also our daughters 2nd name is Maisha, which means "life" in Kiswahilli. She is born in october 2014.
Thanks Caracal Tours for the amazing time we had in Tanzania!

Completely Amazing - Could Not Have Been Better
We had an amazing 3 days of game drives. Every day was better than the next. I highly recommend Ndutu where off-roading is allowed. We saw vultures fighting over the remains of a kill, lion cubs from 15' from the jeep and cheetah's coming up to the front fender. Isiya, our driver, was the best. In the Serengeti, he was able to find every animal we wanted to see. We saw a cheetah with its pray in a tree, and hyena's fighting over a lions kill. Unbelievable sights. The Serena Ngorongoro Lodge and the Serena Serengeti Lodges were both beautiful, scenic and very comfortable. I would highly recommend Macho Halisi, and their best driver, Isiya.

They always go the extra mile.
I was quite worried on the difficulty of planing our trip from the United States with a tour operator from Tanzania. Mr. Joao Oliveira from It Started in Africa immediately made our worries disappear. He always answered our questions within hours if not minutes (I have one request answered in 30 seconds). We also speak on the phone for more specific clarifications I needed. From the first contact until leaving Tanzania, this tour operator always went the extra mile to make sure they could accommodate all our needs. Pretty much everything exceeded our expectations from the quality of the guide, accommodation, wildlife seen, the beauty of the national parks, etc.
Would definitely recommend and will use again in a future opportunity that I hope comes soon.
