    For the money, it was a great deal. It certainly wasn't the most luxurious of safaris, but honestly, thats what I wanted. I felt much closer to nature being able to actually camp out in tents outdoors. It felt like a true safari experience. All of our guides were incredibly nice as well. I'd say the average age of most of the people going on safari was mid 20's though, so if you're middle-aged, you might feel a little out of place amongst a younger crowd (though there were definitely a couple people who seemed like they were in their 40's).

    This was the 2nd time I've travelled wih Absolute Africa. I travelled with them overland in 2009 for over two months, so when I decided to come back to Africa, Absolute Africa was the natural choice. The tour was still as good as I remember! In both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater we got up close to lions, elephants, a cheetah, leopard, hippo, warthogs... the list goes on. I loved it and hope to travel with them again someday. Our guide and driver, Philippa, Mugo and Simba were great and I can't thank them enough for such a great time! The rest of our group were really cool and I made friends for life again, as I did on my last trip! We're still best friends 5 years later!
