We had an absolutely amazing experience....
We were a bunch of dive friends plng a trip to east Africa but had absolutely no clue as to where to start from . Then a friend gave us the number of a person by the name David . Little did we know that this name is going to create magic and wonders for us in days to come . We contacted David and right from our first interaction we knew we are with the best guy in the business . David took all the pains not only in plng our itinerary but also went that extra mile in helping us book reasonable hotels , giving travelling tips , helping us book transports etc . Off course when we met it was further cemented that he is not only a thorough professional but also a wonderful human being . He took all the measures to ensure we had a hassle free trip to Kenya and Zanzibar but what left us absolutely in awe of him was those personal touch they give to this trip . All along we felt that there is a family member with us to help and guide and take care of us . I would also like to make a mention of other two super guys ...Cyrus and Jackson ...because of whom this trip became super successful . Jackson is an amazing driver a nd has a sharp instinct to spot wild animals . It was only because of him we were able to spot all " the big five " during our safari . I can assure everybody that they will have the time of their life with big time safari and their team of wonderful professionals . I wish big time safari , David and the complete team all the very best and hope to meet u guys very soon in future ....

Fantastic trip in the world of the lion king.
I travelled on my owned to Kenya this summer and loved it. I was paired with people my age and who had similar interests. Young, fun, smart people from all over the world. Everything was awesome, guie, food, tours. Got to see the big 5 and so much more. Got to be close to all the animals roaming freely in the Masai Mara, meet people and stay in decent places.
Logistically, it wasn't perfect, but you can roll with the situations.
Loved it and David made it really simple and was very responsive.
Highly recommend them.

My experience with Absolute Holiday Safaris was satisfactory. The safari itself, and the safari guide were amazing. The campsite however, was not anything described to us. When you first arrive in Nairobi you are taken to Absolute Holiday Safaris main office were a consultant explains the details of the trip and the camp to you. Unfortunately, main things he explained about the camp were completely wrong. I almost felt as if they had never been to the camp themselves, or lacked contact with the camp. Their was no free wifi as specified. When taken to see the Massa Mari tribe we were told a small donation of about $10 American was needed. This was not the case, as you have to paid 1000 shilling before the Massa Mari will let you into their tribe. Then they continue to push you to purchase jewelry and other goods from them. While it was a great experience, it was also a little uncomfortable. The food at the camp is mediocre. We had to demand our 'free water', and the water in our attached bathrooms did not work, and if it did for a moment was time was no were near warm.
I did overall enjoy my holiday, but would tell people not have the highest of expectations.

David, you make the difference
Thank again David for the arrangements you prepared for me. Ten days on safari, 3 in Tanzania and 7 in Kenya. I had great time, all was according to the agreements and I had the opportunity to enjoy game safaris, wonderful landscapes and nice people. David helped me beyond the safari, since the first moment I contacted with him he helped me for the preparation of my trip (I have been around alone in East Africa for 40 days), like in the reservation of bus trips and domestic flights. He also hosted me at their office in Nairobi any time I needed. Thank you again brother!!!!!
