5 day Safari
Communication: driver talk very little with us, didn't get information where we going, what we are doing, ...
Service: Which service???
living up to expectations: on the 3 day, moses (driver) told us we're going back by tomorrow. In my opinion he wanted to cheat us and steel one day from safari. We booked a 5 day safari and payed for it!
Safari tour itself: Very poor driving style on the road and the masai mara, driver didn't stop for other animals then the big five, didn' t respect the park rules (speed limits etc.) and sometimes didn't answer questions. Camp was in a very bad condition.

incredible experience and value for money
The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic, from initial communications right through to the wonderful ride back to Nairobi. Our tour guide 'Animal' was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to give us a wonderful safari experience and answer all the questions we had-to which there is not one that he did not know the answer to! Our camp site was extremely peaceful, comfortable and the food delightful. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the rich massai culture and its wildlife, whilst having a relaxing and comfortable trip away from the bustling streets of Nairobi. Excellent value for money, we couldn't believe it ourselves! I would recommend this
trip to anybody!

Will dfinitely come back to David, for any Kenya trip
My husband and I had a safari trip in Kenya and Tanzania from June 25-July 7th 2016.
It was en excellent experience in Kenya. We started with a pick up from the airport provided by the company at 11pm as promised, very impressed. We saw lots of animals, the driver made effort to find exotic animals for us. We even saw Mount Kilimanjaro . Tent and bed were as advertised., clean and comfortable. Food was ok. I have recommended this trip to my friends already.
Disappointed for the trip in Tanzania. It was passed on to another company on Tanzania. We have lots of problems with the land cruiser provided by the company, food was bad, accommodation was dirty. However, the driver, his name was Salee, was very experienced, careful and dedicated tour guide. Even with all the beautiful and exotic animals that we saw, we would not recommend the Tanzania trip at all.
The reason we would go back to Absolute Holiday is because , David, the person we booked the trip with is very approachable, responsible, friendly and available all the time during the trip to help to solve any problem.
He did briefing before the trip, debriefing after the trip. He listened to all our concerns and was willing to help us to solve the problems during and after our trip. We felt being treasured as a customer and enjoy the service that he provided. Will definitely go back for his reliable service.

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!

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!

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

Great experience!
Finally I found some time to write about my experience.
My boyfriend and I booked a 7 days safari, Masai Mara - Nakuru - Samburu, our guide : David
We stayed 3 days in Masai Mara and they were perfect!!!we got to see all the animals we wanted, Lions giraffes elephants foxes rhinos crocodiles hippos.
The tents were ok, I mean it is not luxury but you could sleep there
After that we went to Nakuru, which is not better that Masai Mara but it was a mandatory stopped between MM and Samburu since its a very long journey.
In Nakuru we saw diifferent types of giraffes elephants and rhinos and falso Flamingos.
Samburu was a whole differente adventure. Just being on the village was an experience, in the park we could see cheetahs leopards and ostriches, besides the giraffes lions and elephants
During the week we algo get to learn some swahili culture and Kenyan history.
We want to highlight the work of David who cared of us and our well-being during the whole trip.
Thanks for a wonderfull experience
