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.

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.

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.

Perfect holiday Perfect holiday! Having stayed with Phil when he used to run Parker Cottage in Cape Town and receiving fantastic help and support there, we were keen to try out Where It All Began! We couldn't have been happier. I travel a lot with work and am pretty confident about moving around. What Phil offers however is fantastic properties which I would never have found.....a wonderful, quirky B&B in Swellendam where we ate the best meal we've ever had anywhere in the world, the most sumptious B&B in The Crags which rated as my husband's favourite place he has ever stayed....I could go on!! We would highly recommend Where It All Began - it will ensure you see the bits of the country you would never have otherwise found, all within budget and as others have said, delivered with a personal care and attention that's hard to match! Thanks!

Enjoyable Cape & Wine Experience Philip took the time to understand what type of experience we wanted to have and made many expert suggestions on places to visit. Our drivers were knowledgeable and very professional. We had an amazing trip thanks to the team at Where It All Began.
