Philip and his team did a great job in… Philip and his team did a great job in helping us plan our trip to South Africa. His advice on accommodation, tours, transfers, restaurants and little but important travelling details was very clear and included relevant links and information. The payment was simple and processed fast. We also greatly appreciated Philip's flexibility and superb customer service in adjusting the itinerary to accommodate different arrivals of our group members. Sadly, some tour members had to cancel their trip and I cannot thank Philip and his team enough for their professionalism and assistance with the trip cancellation.

Absolutely Perfect. Our trip to South Africa was absolutely perfect thanks to "Where it all Began". They turned our complex itinerary and wish list into an effortless vacation. Accommodations were excellent, walking and driving tours allowed us to get to know the real South Africa. Our trip to Cape Town in particular was amazing. Where it All began connected us with an excellent guide named Paul who took us on a walking tour of Cape Town and a driving tour of the coast and wine country. The drivers were all extremely professional, courteous, and punctual. Absolutely flawless trip. I hope to do it again some day soon! I would definitely go with Where it All began again.

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!

Safe and imaginative hands We had a general idea as to how we wanted to spend 3 weeks in South Africa in February. Philip Rendel and his team not only made our plans a reality but booked us extraordinary accommodation, imaginative routes that took us to places we hadn’t even read about! WHIB read is perfectly and anticipated all our need. We are already planning next year’s grand adventure. Rodney and Sue Mariner

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.
