Great, life time experience - words will fall short
Mr David the tour coordinator (Big Time Safaris) was of real help and was involved right from the planning, coordination and execution of the programme. The tour was a one time in a life experience for our group, we had an excellent guide and driver, never felt insecure. A warm reception at the Airport, comfortable drive, good accommodation for over night stay and to top it all we were guided personally by Mr David to the right place to buy the artifacts which we wanted as souvenirs. Great Trip. Trip to Masaimara was out of the world. Thanks to Big Time Safaris

Out of Africa, absolutely the best!
Absolute Holiday Safaris is absolutely amazing!! David and Martha in the office in Kenya, Jackson our guide/driver, they are all so professional, helpful, very kind and attentive. I had a wonderful 11 day Kenya and Tanzania safari tour with lodge accomodation. I definitely recommend all the lodges I stayed: Lake Nakuru Lodge, Mara Sopa Lodge, Amboseli A Lodge, Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, Lake Manyara Twiga Lodge. I always felt myself in safe hands, starting from the initial correspondance with David, during the bumpy rides in Kenya with Jackson, who is a five star guide, very knowledgeable, punctual, reliable and kind. I am grateful to David for his very quick and efficient response in resolving my accomodation issue in Serengeti. I think, Absolute Holiday Safaris deserves a more professional partner in Tanzania. I am also grateful to our guide/driver in Tanzania, James, who was also very kind and helpful.
It was a lifetime experience for me, unprecendented! Out of Africa, absolutely the best, Absolute Holiday Safaris! Definitely come back with my family, this time!!

Bucket List Ticked!! Best Experience!!
A safari being top on my bucket list, I decided to book the 10days combined Kenya & Tanzania safari trip, through Absolute Holiday Safaris, I initially was dealing with Martha Mutanu who was an absolute joy and delight to deal with, friendly and professional approach with excellent email communication to allow me make the right decision. I decided to go with the hardcore camping (budget) option which turned out to be great experience considering I have never camped in my life.
The 1st phase (Kenya) of the safari was the best, I was picked up at the airport by lovely and reliable John and we had the pleasure of Jackson the tour guide, who was very knowledgable and ensured we had the best experience, from boat ride in Lake Naivasaha, to game drive in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboselli, I was able to capture such beautiful moments on my camera, with close-up pictures of the animals and to top it managed to see 4 of the big Five in Kenya (Though the 5th (Leopard) I later saw in Serengeti - Tanzania)
The second phase which was the Tanzania trip was still a great experience from getting to Arusha from Kenya it was a hassle free journey, however the tour company used in Arusha in my opinion needs to be reviewed, I would advise that Absolute Safari review their long term relationship with them in order to continue to provide their exceptional service to their customers.
All in all I had the best experience and I am very glad I booked my trip with Absolute Holiday Safaris Ltd and I will definitely be back next year and with the pleasure of your service!! Thanks to the Absolute team, Martha, David, George & Jackson you guys are awesome & keep up the good work and A***** for a quality service.

A 'get away from the routine' was a wonderful experience
The trip was well planned out and co-ordination was good. However, the camping facilities at the park were quite basic; for instance electricity for only 4 hrs in the evening and no charging points in the room.
The itinerary, though packed, was fun filled - with lots of time spent inside the park.
Worth recommending to friends.

Good first time safari experience
We traveled to Lake Nokuru national park and the Masaimara reserve. Both the places were truly breathtaking, full of wildlife. We did have lots of fun. However, our accomodation at lake nokuru was inside the nokuru town - it would have been a much better experience had there been something close to or inside the park. The hotel facilities at nokuru were however excellent. Same cannot be however said for the Masaimara camp. The biggest downside was that power was available for only 4 hrs in the evening and there were no charging points in the tents.

Out of the world
It was the best vacation of my life. Right from landing at the airport, where we were received by David and briefed, to the journey to Lake Nokuru with our driver Zak. The beautiful safari in the park the next morning with the magnificent flamingoes. The journey to Masaimara camp was a bit tiresome but once there we were enthralled by the ambiance of the camp. We had a lot of fun the next two days and we managed to spot every member of the big five including the elusive leopard. Thanks for everything.

6 days safari in Nakuru, Navasa, Masaai Mara, Amboseli
This company take cares of customers a lot, . I feel very warm of my contacter, David.
However, some of the accomondations they cooperate weren't good. One camp electronics had problems, we didn't have power all day and had to prepare troops by our own. One camp didn't save enough showering water. And cooks always cooked so late and sow, one night we ate dinner at 9pm, and one day, our driver told us leave at 5:45am, but cook served us breakfast after 6 am. And cook still ask us give him tips. And they didn't give us one liter water every day as what contract said, in Nassau Mara camp, when I asked water, the staff of the camp told me with bad attitude said no more water, don't ask me more water!
But the driver of the safari was experimened, he found many animals, we saw many animals in our trip.

Life time memorable experience
It was an excellent experience with Absolute Holiday Safari. We four friends availed the tour. Mr David eased our all difficulties. The guide is very professional and friendly. Accommodation and food were very good. Their conduct and behavior are praiseworthy. We could observe all renowned animals including big five. We also surprised to see some to see some animals which werre totally unknown to us. It was really a memorable experience and enjoyable safari tour.
