Highly Recommend!
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
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
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!
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!
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!

Jambo!! Budget, Safe, Great itineraries. Great Team!!!
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

Amazing experience
I've chosen the budget 7-days safari (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli) in March due to my tight budget and I didn't regret it! Absolute Holiday Safaris offered me exactly the same package as the rest of the operators, but for a lower price.
I'm so happy with my Kenyan safari, it was unforgettable indeed.
The guys were so kind and flexible, any issues could be easily settled down and negotiated immediately on the spot. It was very safe and well-planned. A perfect safari experience.
I want to thank to everyone who was taking care of me there - David, John, Patrick, Maxwell, Richard, Joseph (sorry if I forgot someone).
Keep doing the great job, guys!

Once in a lifetime experience! Thank you Absolute Holiday Safaris
We are so very grateful to Absolute Holiday Safaris. They blessed us with one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We booked everything online and were a little nervous about what we were getting. But everything was as good as we could have hoped. Their driver picked us up at the airport right on time and got us to our hotel. On the day our safari departed our driver, Stanley, was there early and was willing to help us track down a couple of things before we left Nairobi. Our drive with Stanly was great and he was incredibly personable. He took us into 2 game parks and always knew where to go to see the animals. He worked hard so that we could see all the animals that were available. If we are ever blessed with the opportunity to return we will work with Absolute Holiday Safaris again in a heartbeat!! Thank you for the incredible job. We recommend them to anyone who is interested!

Absolute Adventure
We did a 7 day/6 night safari and it was incredible! We went to Nakuru, Navisha, Masai Mara and Amboseli and saw every animal that I can think of during that time. Our driver and guide, Jackson, was awesome and very knowledgeable about the animals, plants and tribes that we witnessed. It was obvious that he loves his job and he really enjoyed sharing his knowledge with us. Amboseli was, for me, the best part of the stay- quiet and beautiful with a camp with incredible staff just make sure to keep an eye out for scorpions (we saw four in our two nights there.) Food was plentiful (too much for me, if you're not a big eater, ask for a small plate), water is 1 liter a day so you will need to buy more which was not a problem anywhere we went. We had a rotating number of people (based on location and circumstance) so that also kept the trip exciting! On day one, it was just two of us, on days 2-4, there were eight of us, on days 5-7, three of us. In all, it was a mind blowing week made more so by Jackson's expertise!
