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!

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!

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.

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.

The holiday in Cape Town's surrounding Country side. The holiday in Cape Town was wonderful. Phil had managed to understand our needs and booked everything to suit us - not a shop or any crowds of tourists! Phil had given us a local cellphone which gave us confidence where ever we were and contacted us every day to check we were alright and happy with our travels. The country side we saw was breath taking and great to see places off the beaten track. I wish Where it All Began every success in the future - I would have no hesitation in recommending them to plan a holiday for me, my family and friends. Mary Wallis
