It is worldclass
My wife and I visit the Kruger Park since 1995 more or less regularly and we are happy to see, that the services are maintained (if not improved) at an excellent standard.

Had a great time in Kenya and Eusty is the best
Booked with a different tour operator that used Wildebeest as the guide company in Kenya. Had a wonderful time, learned a lot and saw everything I hoped for. And we made a new friend along the way. Thanks Eusty!

Incredible, all-inclusive trip!
A group of friends and myself booked through this company for a two part vacation; climbing Kilimanjaro and exploring the Serengeti. I thought it was going to be very hectic and confusing, and I packed a lot of what-if items just in case...
I could not have been more wrong!
They took care of absolutely everything. Every meal, every stop, every attraction was well thought out. Our guides for Kilimanjaro, Amir and Hussien were very, very knowledgeable and professional. We picked their brains the whole hike, and there was not a single question they could not answer. The porters worked incredibly hard for us too. By the end of the climb, they all felt like family.
The Serengeti was equally amazing! our driver #Ritchard# was impressive in his ability to find every animal we were looking for, and he knew everything about them! We saw all of the Big 5! And we got very close to almost every creature we came across (except the rhinos, they're tricky) All of our accommodations were spectacular, from luxury tents in the Serengeti (buffaloes relaxing outside my tent!) to the Serena Crater Lodge (amazing place, awesome entertainment!)
At first I thought the trip was a little pricey (around $2,300) but when I found out what other tourists we met were paying (some of them upwards of 5k!) I soon realized we got the best deal for what we paid for. Again, absolutely amazing and I would do it again in a heart beat.

Everything is more than Incredible!! For your best Safari
Everything happened in Tanzania was like a dream for us.
My wife and I had the best and most incredible experience ever in Tanzania.
It is all because of Charles Joseph, the driver and guide, and Pascali, the cook.
We spent 5 days together and I just can't have enough word to explain how thankful we are.
Every single minute is full of joy.
Our journey was fulfilled with happiness and pleasure.
Charles Joseph's characteristics are awesome.
He always tries to entertain us.
He is always punctual.
He always cares about us.
He never neglects maintenance of his vehicle.
everything is more than perfect.
Pascali is the best safari cook.
We were so surprised that he cooked so tasty and delicious food within such a limited facility in camps.
We sometimes felt cold at night, and in that time, his soup warmed us not in the meaning of physically but mentally as well.
Yes, we completed Big 5.
On last day, Charles Joseph made a great effort to find the last piece, Rhynos.
and we made it by finding a family of them with a baby in Ngorongoro.
To see many animals in wild life is one of our major purposes in our journey.
but, what remains in our memory the most after leaving the country is one that we sung Jumbo song altogether on the way.
After we departed from the safari car, my wife kept crying for more than one hour at the airport because she missed both of them so much.
We are really really happy and lucky to have a safari with Charles Joseph and Pascali.
Words cannot explain how much we feel in that way.
Honestly speaking, I sent emails to 4 companies to ask for quotation and their context of safaris.
"It Started in Africa" always reverted emails to me faster than any other companies with full of answers.
We exchanged our emails more than 50 times, which obviously displays their dedication to customers and aspiration to entertain people who go to Tanzania.
For sure, I recommend you to travel in Tanzania with "It Started in Africa"

An Excellent First Tour to Tanzania
My friends and I’s trip to Tanzania was amazing. We hired the services of Safarihub, and they never disappointed us at all. The team from the company was organized, respectful, and treated us very well throughout the tour. Although the trip was planned only for a few days, we decided to extend it by two more days.
The accommodation organized for us was fantastic; the lodges were affordable and the meals great. I love the part where the tour team suggested that we visit Mafia Island; it was worth the extra money, for I believe that we all created special memories of this place that would last for a long time.

Friendly, Fun & Unforgettable Experience
We (me & my colleague from office) had a weekend available to us between our trip to Nairobi. After a quick search on net, we realized most of the tours are 3+ days. Unfortunately that did not work for us. On Friday afternoon, one of our friends suggested us to contact Sylvester of Seven By Far tours. And the efficiency with which he arranged the tour surpassed our expectations. By Friday evening our customized private tour to Masai Maara was confirmed
- in one of the best resorts inside Masai Maara (Sarova Maara)
- with one of the friendliest & knowledgeable game guide (Alex)
- in one of those cool 4x4 vehicles with pick & drop from our hotel in Nairobi
- at a much affordable price
Everything was on time and as stated; Saturday morning the tour started. Alex was a fantastic tour guide. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about Masai Maara & some history of Nairobi as well. And what eyes did he have - he spotted a Leopard sleeping on a tree some 50m away from its hanging tail. We ended spotted pretty much all minus the Rhino in the 3 hr game drive- Thanks to Alex.
Later in the evening we had a fun night at the resort with Masai dance and Indian music (sung by locals). Most memorable experience and must visit again place.
Sunday was as packed as Saturday and we were back in Nairobi in our hotel by afternoon.
Thanks again to Sylvester & team for arranging this at short notice. Wonderfully organized trip - we loved the place, loved the resort and liked Alex. I do hope for planning another tour for entire family and friends this time and of course with Sylvester & Alex.
Surprisingly efficient and commendable
Service very efficient, follow-up quick, agent accessible.
