Amazing experience
Matoke tours was exceptionally professional from start to finish. Ilse was amazing with all contact to answer many questions. We travelled Uganda and Congo with a personalised individual tour which exceeded our expectations daily and everything was perfectly organised and safe. Matoke tours gave us the fortunate opportunity to vist Congo and experience amazing adventures off the beaten track. We visited the volcano and both mountain and lowland gorillas in congo and could recommend all highly.
We were so lucky to have our tour guide Anatoli who gave a wealth a knowledege, was super friendly and made our trip more memorable.
All accommodation was fantastic and felt very spoilt.
Thank you so much for an amazing unforgettable adventure

Absolute Holiday Safaris are one of the best in the industries
Completely lived up to my expectation. The team was very helpful and accommodated all our requests. We had to change our dates and also one of our friends had to cancel and David was helpful in this regard. Overall experience was very good with David and his team. Very professional and friendly and experts in the industry.
However I have only one disappointment regarding the last day's morning safari. We were taken directly to the place where big cats were seen and we spent around 30-40 minutes there and came back, just to finish the time. I think the itinerary should clearly mention the specifics otherwise it's very misleading.
Overall a good experience. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to experience once their hospitality and services. Thank you David and to your team at Absolute Holiday Safaris.

Two Days, One Night with AAS
My driver/guide was terrific. His English was very good. He drove very carefully. He knew where to stop.
AAS was fine. As someone else wrote it is a leap of faith to send money over the internet. But it worked out fine. Nelson answered all questions.
Gorillas are pretty neat! Great trip to Volcanoes National Park, with a tour of Kigali the day before.

Review about Timbavati Nature Reserve by pixpeeper
We got to see the "Big Five" on our first drive, in less than 2 hours! It doesn't get much better than this...

Review about Addo Elephant National Park by pixpeeper
Addo seemed very tame after our week in Kruger. It is quite beautiful and hilly. Accommodation was very comfortable but seeing the wildlife proved a lot more difficult because of the bushes. We waited for one whole day to see our first elephants.

A very comfortable access to wildlife
We planned a whole week in the park and we were not disappointed. We changed rest camps every night which means that we could see a lot of different areas. This park is diverse, it was definitely worse it! While the larger rest camps offer a more comfortable stay, we felt closer to nature in the smaller facilities. The game drives proposed by the rest camps are excellent value and complement your own drives.

You don't want to miss it
So big and full of wildlife, it is easy to forget that it is a park.
Try to be there during the migration season.

Review about South Africa by pixpeeper
Everybody knows what a scenic country South Africa! What we didn't expect that many encounters with the people were as memorable as the wildlife! Can't wait to go back!

Best Vacation Ever!
We did a 14 day camping safari with Anthony back in August of 2011; our children were 6 & 9 at the time and the entire vacation, from beginning to end was totally and utterly mind blowing. This was our first trip to Africa and Anthony did a tremendous job in every aspect of our holiday. He is very knowledgable and was a fabulous guide for our family; he was very patient answering all our questions about the animals, vegetations, environment, geology, culture etc. Anthony always made sure we were comfortable and happy and very well fed during our trip. Our safari was indeed a trip of a lifetime for us and it FAR exceeded our expectations. We would do it all again in a heartbeat and wouldn't look elsewhere for a guide; Anthony was the best!

Tanzanian trip
Our trip was brilliant and we had a fantastic time. We found the wildebeest migration excellent, and saw a huge amount of game in the varying places. Some of it, very special. Our guide, Godwin, provided by Safarihub, was great fun and very enjoyable to spend time with. He was also very good at finding the animals. Very much enjoyed the our camp and met some great people. Although, Kirurumu was in a great location,The Crater itself was beautiful and well worth visiting. The good thing about our location was that we could get into the Crater early and avoid some of the crowds.
