Well organised and good follow up.
After an initial glitch where our contact had our dates mixed up, the recovery plan worked well as we stayed in two different lodges in stead of one and were able to see more animals in two different locations.
Having said that the second lodge ( Ashnil Game Camp, our initial plan) was much nicer than the first one (Sarova Mara Game Camp). Ashnil is positioned on the edge of the Mara river and is a great location to view the Migration crossing.

Will dfinitely come back to David, for any Kenya trip
My husband and I had a safari trip in Kenya and Tanzania from June 25-July 7th 2016.
It was en excellent experience in Kenya. We started with a pick up from the airport provided by the company at 11pm as promised, very impressed. We saw lots of animals, the driver made effort to find exotic animals for us. We even saw Mount Kilimanjaro . Tent and bed were as advertised., clean and comfortable. Food was ok. I have recommended this trip to my friends already.
Disappointed for the trip in Tanzania. It was passed on to another company on Tanzania. We have lots of problems with the land cruiser provided by the company, food was bad, accommodation was dirty. However, the driver, his name was Salee, was very experienced, careful and dedicated tour guide. Even with all the beautiful and exotic animals that we saw, we would not recommend the Tanzania trip at all.
The reason we would go back to Absolute Holiday is because , David, the person we booked the trip with is very approachable, responsible, friendly and available all the time during the trip to help to solve any problem.
He did briefing before the trip, debriefing after the trip. He listened to all our concerns and was willing to help us to solve the problems during and after our trip. We felt being treasured as a customer and enjoy the service that he provided. Will definitely go back for his reliable service.

Great safari adventure in Tanzania
The safari brought us to the unequaled beauty of wildlife in four parks in Tanzania. The guide was very knowledgeable l and fun to be with. We encountered a few mechanical problems with the jeep, but the guide was able to resolve them without overly impacting our excursions. The lodges were very nice and comfortable. We loved the trip.
The one thing that was unexpected was that the manager of the safari office wanted US$ cash payment for the balance due before we began the safari, but we had been told that credit card payment was acceptable. As we had limited cash, we were able to agree on both a cash and credit payment, but this was inconvenient and not right.

The information provided by the company is Precise and the experience is awesome.
I had challenges choosing which tour company to go out with and the area to track from but when I got in touch with Trekkr Africa, everything got easier and choosing became alot easier. I had expected a big challenge tracking in the hilly Ruhija as per the information provided by the consultant at the company but when I got on the road with the assigned guide and went tracking, the experience turned out to be memorable. I got a one on one with the Gorillas and had a chance to take lovely pictures. Given a chance, I would track with them again and again. Thanks to the staff at Trekkr Africa Safaris.

Amazing Tanzania
We had a really good time in Tanzania. Antelope Safaris is a good company. I traveled with my wife and daughter. We feel in safe during the tour. It is important to feel like this in Africa. All guides and drivers are very good person and they are good in their jobs. I highly recommend to vist Tanzania with Antelope safaris.

Very professional and accommodating
Very prompt in the communication . Were able to also arrange a car seat for our child travelling with us. We could not have asked for a better guide than Julius. Highly recommended!
An experience of a lifetime
Communication and service was prompt and Mike answered any questions or requests. Our Kenya tour experience was amazing.
Very basic information was given about arrangements to transfer into Tanzania and we often felt we did not know what was going on. Then on arrival in Arusha our itinerary was changed last minute by the contact in Tanzania (Abraham) this should have been addressed at the time of originally booking. Abraham stated that the time frame was not sufficient to do the tour we had booked. I feel that the change was also more convenient from Abrahams point of view.
However, our safari tours overall were wonderful and full of animals and unique experiences.

Good Budget safari company.
My guide was terrific he was always concerned for our safety and comfort. The cook was good, although he didn't have much to work with. You definitely don't go on these budget safari's hoping for gourmet meals! Everything went as planned, even though we had an issue with our truck, it seems like these guys are jacks of all trades. For sure would go again with a group I knew. I went as a tag along with a pre-booked group. That wasn't the best idea; but regardless it forced me to reach outside of my group to make some friends. Turned out they will be life-long friends. Great way to see Africa without spending a fortune !

Great experience
Just came back from a 3-day safari in Masai Mara with our friendly guide Anthony. It was an awesome time; saw lots of animals (no leopards or rhinos, though) and had a great experience. Robert was professional, quick to respond to changes in our itinerary and quick to respond to our inquiries. Anthony was friendly, always smiling and knowlegeable about the park, the animals and Kenya in general. Sad to see that so many animals seem to have disappeared compared to 20 yrs ago, but would definitely recommend safari to anyone, especially with Beacon. We stayed at the Sopa lodge, which was luxurious, had great food and drinks! Relaxing to come back to after a day of driving on rough terrain :)
