Best Safari Experience of our lives
We were with absolute safaris for 7 days and had the best time. We had read a few reviews before booking them but didn't really know what we were up for. Ben picked us up at the Nairobi airport and he was a very polite shy man. He was our Safari driver and guide too. He did the best to show us all the animals to his level best. He seemed quite popular too with the other safari drivers. He made sure we were comfortable at every stage and was patiently answering all of our questions. We had a few amazing game drives. it was quite thrilling. Nothing like what we had expected. The highlight was that we saw leopards which are very rare in that season to be spotted.
David, at the Safari office was extremely accommodative and booked for us our numerous journeys within Kenya,other than the safari. He helped us with our airport transfer back too. On the whole, and amazing experience and i would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone why maybe thinking of going with them.
Thanks to Ben, David and Albert for making our Kenya trip the most memorable one :)

Experience varies with drivers/itineraries
I booked with Absolute Holiday Safaris based on price and the superb, friendly communication with David prior to traveling. I was so happy that David really is as kind and genuine as he seems through email! I was very pleased to meet him in Nairobi.
I booked 8-day safari: Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli. We began the trip with John AKA Animal for 3 days in Maasai Mara, and learned from other passengers that he is one of the best drivers. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, and very professional. Sadly, we only had him for 3 days and were bounced to 4 other drivers for the rest of the trip.
The other drivers were Sammy and Stanley. Neither of them was at the same level with Animal. They both sped in the parks, and Sammy actually almost hit 3 zebra (I was riding in the front seat and was horrified). There was also a small child in the back seat who was bouncing around and flying off the seat. Both Sammy and Stanley were on their radios talking and laughing (presumably not about animals, since we weren't really seeing much...) the whole day and it ruined the peace of the experience.
We were also abandoned one morning in Hell's Gate National Park. We were to be picked up at 10:30AM and were not picked until around 1PM due to miscommunications within the company. We luckily had David's business card on hand and the kind women working at the park let us call David several times until we were picked from the park. Other changes were: switching hotels in Nakuru with no notice, changing our itinerary around during the trip itself. We never got offered a boat ride at either Lake Nakuru or Lake Naivasha, and we missed one morning's game drive in Maasai Mara which was on the itinerary.
The overall experience was wonderful; I love Kenya and want to come back already! However, I would book with this company again only with guarantee of a great driver (Animal) for the entire trip. Now that I have more awareness of how things work I would try to lock things down a bit more.

Definitely go for a second time!
Right from the moment you land at Nairobi to the end of the trip I was very well looked after by David Safari and his team. I saw almost all the animals and the food and stay at camp was very nice. The trop was well organised and comfortable. I definitely want to do it a second time.

Totally professionals. our special thanks to Mr David who made our trip memorable.will surely go aga
It was a memorable trip. We were six in a group and had a gala time. They are really professional and really took care of us. Be it communication, livings and the safari it was of a high standard. Mr David beside being professional is a good human being who really planed and executed our trip very well. Our special thanks to him. It was really awesome going around the grassland andand Mr Patrick who was our guide and driver really shown all possible animals surviving in the land. His one liner was really a killer which always left us laughing. Would certainly like to go again with my wife.

6 days safari in Nakuru, Navasa, Masaai Mara, Amboseli
This company take cares of customers a lot, . I feel very warm of my contacter, David.
However, some of the accomondations they cooperate weren't good. One camp electronics had problems, we didn't have power all day and had to prepare troops by our own. One camp didn't save enough showering water. And cooks always cooked so late and sow, one night we ate dinner at 9pm, and one day, our driver told us leave at 5:45am, but cook served us breakfast after 6 am. And cook still ask us give him tips. And they didn't give us one liter water every day as what contract said, in Nassau Mara camp, when I asked water, the staff of the camp told me with bad attitude said no more water, don't ask me more water!
But the driver of the safari was experimened, he found many animals, we saw many animals in our trip.

it was a fantastic experience
It was a great 3 day package with absolute safari. Stanly was exceptionally well as a guide and he drove fantastic. We experienced hunting by a leopard.food was delicious and was a comfortable stay. Hope to be with absolute safari again.

Wonderful african safari experience
We used to know about it from the NatGeo and Discovery. But this time I saw them with my own eyes. It was truly a wonderful experience.
