Virtual personal travel guide , huge knowledge of SA created perfect bespoke holiday Phil worked with us and evolved a memorable holiday visiting special places ideally suited to our objectives. So many little things built huge confidence in the organisation. For example when we were met in Cape Town we were given a local cellphone , pre loaded with credit ( we had been told about the plan before we left ) . Everywhere we went Phil was just a call away if we wanted information , support or to alter plans. A bit like having a virtual guide travelling with us.I am sure that Where it All Began can create a perfect bespoke holiday to suit YOUR quirks too.

Great agency - highly recommended. Outstanding organization that planned our visit in South Africa. All details were meticulously planned. The structure of the 2 week trip was very balanced so we had time to relax between visits. Excellent choice of lodges and restaurants. The driver/guide was safe, hospitable and knowledgeable and shared many experiences and information that helped us understand better the country and the history. When changes were needed everything was done for us very smoothly and we received excellent follow up each evening. In sum a perfect experience. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

The highlight of our trip! Phil at Where It All Began was so helpful in finding us the perfect safari accommodation. There were so many choices, it was overwhelming. Phil listened to what I wanted from the experience and helped us choose a place. My only regrets is that we didn’t allow more time at the lodge he found for us. We hoped to see the Big Five, of course, and we did. But there was a lot more to our experience than that. The ranger, tracker, staff, and accommodations were amazing and beyond our expectations. Phil helped us with other plans and ideas too, and I’d recommend his services highly. Increasingly, in the age of do it yourself travel planning, I’m seeing the real value in hiring an agent who knows the local landscape.
