6 days safari in Nakuru, Navasa, Masaai Mara, Amboseli
4/5

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.

Wonderful african safari experience
4/5

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.

A 'get away from the routine' was a wonderful experience
4/5

The trip was well planned out and co-ordination was good. However, the camping facilities at the park were quite basic; for instance electricity for only 4 hrs in the evening and no charging points in the room.
The itinerary, though packed, was fun filled - with lots of time spent inside the park.
Worth recommending to friends.

Fantastic trip in the world of the lion king.
4/5

I travelled on my owned to Kenya this summer and loved it. I was paired with people my age and who had similar interests. Young, fun, smart people from all over the world. Everything was awesome, guie, food, tours. Got to see the big 5 and so much more. Got to be close to all the animals roaming freely in the Masai Mara, meet people and stay in decent places.
Logistically, it wasn't perfect, but you can roll with the situations.
Loved it and David made it really simple and was very responsive.
Highly recommend them.

5/5

This was a great budget company to use. The planning from Nairobi was done so well and we were given everything we were promised plus more. Our guide Richard was a great guy who was easy to get along with, laid back and eager to make sure we had a good experience . In Masai Mara we were out on the main days game drive for 11 hours- it was beyond our expectation.The accommodation is very basic but it was clean, the beds were comfortable and we had hot showers wherever we went. The food is simple and similar every day but really tasty and great to experience local food. I would definitely recommend this company. Good value for money!

Great experience
5/5

Due to mailbox problems, it's only two years later to evaluate absolute holiday safaris. It was a great travel agency. The arrangement was perfect. My friends and I felt very happy. I saw a lot of animals, zebras, lions, elephants, giraffes on the prairie. It is completely in line with the imagination of the grassland, and I hope to go again. Thanks to MR. David of Absolute Holiday Safaris for answering the questions in the mail. Thank you driver Peter, thank you for your 8 days of companionship and service.

Perfect tour operator
5/5

We booked two weeks customized privat safari in Kenya and Nairobi. Planning the tour was done within 1 week and everything was perfect, at least for the Kenya part. Unfortunately their partner in Tansania was not good at all (see SandLand Tours reviews), but Absolute Holidays Safari did a very good job. all three shuttle services as planned. David was allways there for questions. If you plan only safari in Kenya, this is the perfect one to ask. If you plan to include Tansania, checked first that the partner is not SandLand Tours. We have advised David to look for a more reliable partner in Tansania. SandLand Tours tried to get more money from us by saying one park fee (300$) was not included and we have to pay. Absolute Holiday Safari gave us back the money within 1 day when they heard the story. David met us on the Airport when arriving and also when coming back to Kenya to get a feedback from us about the tour. There is absolutely nothing to complain about them, except that their partner in Tansania should be kicked in the ass.

Well Done!
5/5

I just came back home for our 3-months trip that’s why have late review.

Below are special thanks to their crews:
David; the contact person. He booked additional Nairobi lodging to me at my budget, keep frequencies contacting, and solved my enquiries.
Oukozakaro; the driver-guide. He was able to spot and let us as virgin spectators into various animal adventures (quoted Prat’s wordings). The highlights are:
One lion family (13 lions including lion, lioness and cubs),
One sleeping lioness lying on a treetop,
One sleep cheetah at woods,
One wijd/white rhinoceros family (3 wijds),
More than 10-times of lions (single, twin)

Of course, wildebeest great migration, lion hunting process, leopard and her prey on a tree, cheetahs and their prey and so on, and so on….

Best safari experience by far!
5/5

My friend and I booked a 10 day budget safari (Kenya and Tanzania) through Absolute Holiday Safaris. We loved every moment of it! Best value for money. Excellent customer service and we had the best tour guides both on the Kenyan (Zack) and Tanzanian side! Our trip was well executed, they delivered everything that was promised in the itenary. We were able to communicate with the office and ask questions before we even left South Africa to get to Nairobi. We were picked up and dropped at the airport at the beginning and end of our tour. Would definitely recommend this service provider! They are excellent!

5/5

My Husband and I booked a 7 days trip to Kenya (Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amsoli National Park) with Absolute Holiday Safaris from 15th to 21st July, 2017. We booked it online with a nominal booking amount and paid the rest of the amount in Nairobi at the office. We were in constant touch with Mr. David with whom we discussed about the tour and other important things. He always answered to all our queries and we received prompt responses. We were received from our Nairobi Hotel by Mr. Ambrose (Chalo) who was our guide and point of contact for the entire tour. He gave us a brief idea about the Do's and Don'ts before our trip. He is a very warm hearted guy and very very helpful. He gave us a trip full of wonderful memories which we'll cherish forever. He has knowledge on the flora and fauna of Kenya and he also tells some very interesting stories. We also met Patrick. He was the captain of another Safari. Both Chalo and Patrick coordinated very well together. We are soon planning to go on our Tanzania Tour with Absolute Holiday and Safaris. Great Team, Great Itinerary, Great Arrangement, Great Experience. Kudos to the entire team. Keep up the good work. Best Regards, Subham and Sreoshi
