We can’t say enough positive things… We can’t say enough positive things about Where It All Began. They created a bespoke, seamless three week trip for five people ranging from age 13 to 75. Our unique interests and varied needs were addressed making it a lifetime memory for all of us. We received daily travel check-ins from them reminding us of travel details, pickup confirmations, etc. It was, by far, the best organized and easiest trip that I have ever taken. In addition to this, it was also the most interesting and personal trip that I have ever taken. We were invited into the homes of individuals from all over South Africa, learning about their experiences and stories. I will definitely ask Where it All Began to plan our next trip to Africa!

Extraordinary Family African Journey There are not enough superlatives to describe the service, knowledge, and professionalism of Where It All Began. If you are looking for an organization who knows Africa inside and out and want to be hooked up with wonderful Safari reserves, tour guides and any other type of activity you desire, this is your Company. As well, we were contacted daily with updates and follow ups. Where it All Began did not let us down from the time we began planning this complicated 3 week trip for 6 individuals of varying ages which began five years ago and got stalled repeatedly due to COVID.

Quick help with travel changes South Africa is challenging for travelers. Philip was super-responsive to changes that occured, such as driver changes and restaurant rescheduling. Plus various questions we had during our travels. Also, the trips he suggested gave us an excellent idea of what living in Joburg or Cape Town is like, which is a main reason to visit new places.

Time of my life with ethical partners that are environmentally conscious I had the time of my life with Where It All Began navigating my 14 day South Africa & Zimbabwe trip in October 2022! Cape Town: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pilanesburg, Hermanus Zimbabwe: Victoria Falls Single US Traveler Food - local, full service, & touristy Lodging/Game Resort/Bed & Breakfast - eco-friendly, luxurious, spacious, and staffing that will exceed your expectations at every turn Activities - mountain hiking, whale kayaking, African cooking experience, guided/walking tours: Victoria Falls, Mandela House/Soweto, local townships, big five game viewing, District 6, Robben Island, etc. Guidelines - They were up to date on the travel restrictions and guidelines to help ensure your trip goes smoothly. The power outages that are the normal occurrence in that part of the country did NOT take away from the experience. Con I prefer to utilize the local black businesses in every place I travel and I was unable to partake of those as much due to the local climate and the travel agency.

I am not quite sure how I came across… I am not quite sure how I came across Philip of Where it all began(What great name for the company!) on my various excursions into the internet to put together a 50 wedding anniversary trip to Southern Namibia andS.A., but I am very pleased that I did. Philip with his extensive knowledge of travel around Southern Africa was only to pleased to provide me with with some great ideas for our special trip and provide prices for various aspects of the trip that were I believe extremely competitive. Nothing was too much for him and when he said he would get back to me thats exactly what happened. I would heartily recommend Philip and his company to anybody endeavouring to put together a personalised and bespoke trip to Southern Africa. From my personal experience you won't be disappointed!
