Hluhluwe Game Reserve, Isimangaliso Wetlands, and Durban
While friends I was traveling with in SA went off for 4 days to an exceeding expensive game reserve in Sabi Sands, I chose to explore Durban and surroundings instead. I’m delighted I did.
Rowly met my early AM flight from Cape Town, and we drove up the coast through a sugar cane landscape to St Lucia, where we had a few hours in the beautiful Isimangaliso Wetlands before driving directly inland to Hluhluwe Game Reserve. Arriving at the Hilltop Lodge, I joined a 5-8PM game drive, and, after overnighting there, another from 5-8AM. It was a great experience---for me the right amount of time---and one that Rowly facilitated and contributed to.
Rowly was very dependable and accommodating, has deep roots in the area and a great deal of knowledge of it, and was good company, which was important as it was just the two of us.
I was so pleased that I arranged for Rowly to give me a tour of Durban the following afternoon. (In the morning, I visited to the Campbell Collection, which I’d recommend to anyone with a cultural interest, especially if you can take the time to read the fascinating explanation of the Zulu beadwork on display.) If I had an extra day or two, I would have taken a tour with Rowly into the Drakensberg---next time.
Now home, I have fond memories of it all, including Durban itself, with its beautiful beachfront, surprising harbor, botanical garden and steeply hilly neighborhoods with vistas of the Indian Ocean.

Great time in Kenya and Tanzania
Communication was good, service was good. No complaints. We left some stuff in one of our huts at the Masai Mara and only realized it after we reached Arusha, Tanzania. Our guide was great and sent for it and had it delivered to us the next day. Then, we did it again and left some stuff behind in Arusha when we headed off to Zanzibar. Again, they helped us and our stuff arrived the next day to our hotel in Zanzibar. No problems and didn't ask us for any money or anything. Just good, considerate, efficient and friendly service. Thanks AbsoluteHoliday Safaris!

Amazing Tour Operator and Guides = Amazing Climb!!!
We researched 4 different tour operators, but Kilimanjaro Brothers (KB) won the day (and our business) with quick email responses, George Mtaki's personal phone calls, competitive pricing, and excellent service and guides. Kilimanjaro Brothers is a local Moshi, Tanzania tour operator and thus 100% our fees stayed in Moshi and the local area.
George and his sister met us at the airport to facilitate our arrival to the hotel late on our first night in the area. Upon KB's recommendation for the rainy season, we signed up for the 6-day trip (on the mountain with 1-day acclimatization) utilizing the Marangu Route and its huts--perfect for the 3 afternoons of wet weather. We were treated like family with great hospitality. The daily service and food was superb--our server and porters were kind and respectful. The guide and assistant guide were extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally helpful. In fact our head guide, Priscus, volunteered to carry my day pack from the Kibo Huts to the summit which helped a 67-year-old dad reach the summit with his two sons.
Not only was it a great climbing but enjoyable cultural experience as well as 2 nationalities intertwined for 7 days and enjoyed a wonderful associations that will last a lifetime.
The outstanding hospitality continued as George met us at 5:00 am to see that we got off properly for our safari day to the Ngorongoro Crater. On our last day in the area we had no plans, so George volunteered with one of his associates and took us around Arusha. They made sure that we enjoyed the local sites and arrived timely at the airport that evening for our return flight.
I and my 2 sons highly recommend Kilimanjaro Brothers for your next climbing and safari adventure. George Mtaki, and his associates, will exceed your expectations for the adventure and experience of a lifetime.

acz safari is the way to go!
jambo John ,the tour operator is a hands on type guy who will do anything(Including offering to by you a guiness) to make sure your safari meets your expectations.From the Nairobi hotel he recommended(I highly recommend the kwezha)The personal tour he took me on in Nairobi(the elephant orphanage,the giraffe shelter and the cultural was great and highly recommended.The night staying with Alex with his family in the Masai village ,eating and sleeping with these precious people,was the highlight of my time in Kenya.I would recommend staying at the manyatta Lodge or the sopa.The budget choice was not worth the savings.If you can get 2 to 3 couples to go with you.You'll make memories to last a lifetime.I was on my own and had a Kansas grad on my safari which was fun as we had just knocked them off in the NCAA's on the way to a national championship ( i told her we'd go easy on them next year;NOT)so either way you'll have a great time.you won't regret choosing acz for your 3 day safari

They were on time and the drivers were very knowledgable. I will use this company everytime
From the owner to the drivers, this company lived up to their word. we had 22 people we had to transport from Kitale to Lake Nakuru to Nairobi and they did it without a problem. The vehicles were in great condition and everyone road comfortably. The drivers were very Knowledgable of the areas we traveled and had plenty of interesting conversation.

Amazing trip
We knew that it is very difficult to book directly by hotels. But Monika made it easy for us:she built for us an excellent safari plan.We did not have any headache with bookings as she made it all for us. Everything went like we wanted and we had a wonderful time in Zimbabwe without worries. She did an excellent job and she is very pro client.

Beautiful Safari with a great crew!
The 4-days-Safari with Big Five Voyage was a fantastic experience! The great crew, Amon, Dulla and our Chef Abdul, turned the Safari into a really unique trip with a lot of fun. Everything was organized well so we didn't have to care about anything. Great meals cooked by our Chef (even special meals for vegetarians), water, accomodation and the entrance to the nationalparks were included in the package price. Our great Driver knew just everything about the wildlife of the parks and drove us to the best places to watch the Big Five.
Big Five Voyage made this Safari to an unforgettable experience that was one of my highlights of my Tanzania trip. Thank You!

The experience was out of this world. Very wonderful
Everything was very well organized. I did not experience any glitch on the parts of the organizers. My family was also happy with the whole process.
