- KKayla· March 5th, 2018I did the Northern Trails tour from Cape Town to Nairobi. This trip was absolutely incredible! We had Steve and Manache for the first half of the tour and Peter and Dave for the second half. All four of them were amazing! I don’t know how Dave and Steve managed to drive those trucks all through Africa with the crazy road conditions and never once be in a bad mood. Peter and Manache were very organized which kept things running smooth and they were full of information. I don’t think there was a question asked that they didn’t know the answer to, which was fantastic. We ate incredible meals (I was not expecting to eat like this on an overland tour) every night. The truck was also really good and spacious and worked well for game drives, as we were up nice and high. Camping was also nice and there was always the option to upgrade if you really wanted a bed for the night. I thought the tour was very well organized with great inclusions. There were also great optional activities available in most of the places we visited. I would definitely recommend travelling with Absolute Africa, it was great value for money and I would for sure do another tour with them in the future. Thank you for the incredible trip it will not be forgotten!Show moreAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewHi Kayla - thank you for leaving a review of your tour with us and we will let all of your crew know of your comments.

- NNikki· December 14th, 2014Vailet Peters was an amaazing tour guide. She looked after everyone on the tour and made sure they felt confortable. The knowledge she had about the wildlife in Africa and the countries we were visiting was great. Good Luck V xAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewThanks for your kind words about Vailet, we're glad you enjoyed your trip!Trip date: April 2014
- TMTom· December 14th, 2014Our Absolute Africa tour was an incredible two months. Our guide Vailet was kind, accommodating, knowledgeable and, above all, fun. Everything about the tour was excellent: the food was better than anyone expected, the activities and itinerary were perfect, and over two months no one had a single thing to complain about. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to travel Africa and get value for money.Show moreAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewThank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it's great to hear you enjoyed your Northern Trails trip!Trip date: January 2014
- CBCourtney· December 13th, 2014Awesome tour! Would recommend to friends and would happily go back and do it again. V is a fantastic guide, she made some delicious meals and very knowledgable! The drivers and tour guides are worth their weight in gold they are able to find a solution to any situation that may occur and they do it with a smile! TIA! Wish I had picked a longer trip so it didn't have to end!
