- Srinivas· August 15th, 2023I had a wonderful time on this safari and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the best of Africa on a budget. Here is my review: I joined the Nairobi to Zanzibar safari with Absolute Africa and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The trip was well-organized, affordable, and full of amazing experiences. I saw incredible wildlife in the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, as well as beautiful scenery in the Great Rift Valley and Lake Naivasha. The trip would not have been possible without the excellent crew of Absolute Africa. Our cook Joseph was amazing, he prepared delicious meals every day, catering to our dietary preferences and needs. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to share. Our tour leader Martin was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He gave us detailed information about each destination, arranged optional activities for us, and made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. He also handled any issues that arose with professionalism and efficiency. The overland truck was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for camping. The tents were easy to set up and pack away, and the sleeping mats were ok and cozy. The truck also had a fridge and plenty of storage space. The trip was a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and fun.I learned a lot about Africa's culture, history, and nature. I would definitely book another trip with Absolute Africa in the future. They are the best overland company in Africa!Show moreAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewHi Srinivas, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent trip with us.

- Anonymous· September 1st, 2018Overall, I was pretty happy with the trip, I saw all the things that I wanted to including trekking gorillas and see the big five as well as five hunting cheetahs. But that's pretty much all down to luck - in terms of the trip let's start with the good: the tents and mats were good quality and kept dry in a couple of torrential downpours. The food was overall pretty good although we occasionally didn't have enough. The driver was great and drove safely and carefully in very difficult terrain. The truck was fine although having half the seats the wrong way around led to some disputes over seats as pretty much anybody would get motion sick on those roads. I did have a few issues along the way, first of all, the estimated driving time was usually off often by a 100% ie. a 3-hour trip took 5-6 hours and a 6-hour journey took 12+. I fully understand that it can be hard to estimate travel times but I would suggest overestimating as opposed to under as it makes people grumpy and it meant that some optional activities were not available. Second, people would join and leave the trip continuously, so the group would balloon and shrink from 15-26 people - this was pretty frustrating particularly because it meant little group cohesion. Third, the camp in the Serengeti was completely overrun - max capacity was 80 people, we had 240 the night we stayed there, this meant overflowing toilets and lack of water. Fourth, arranging your own activities in places where the truck was parked was frown upon and admonished by the guide. Fifth, information was sometimes patchy which meant that the group would spend a lot of time getting off the bus, getting our stuff because we hadn't be informed about what we needed. Along the way, I realized that a lot of smaller groups and independent travelers kinda hate the overland trucks when they pitch their tents - they are often loud, drinking and kinda obnoxious .... From my perspective, it was a trade-off between convenience, seeing a lot in a short time and at a relatively cheap price versus the control I have when I travel on my own. I did miss the opportunity to engage with locals in more meaningful ways.Show moreAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewHi Stine, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

- Georgia· July 29th, 2018Our tour was amazing - from our cook Joseph, to our driver David and of course our guide for the duration of the trip Edmund who went absolutely above and beyond introducing us to all his friends at the Zanzibar Food Festival so we had a taste of everything Zanzibar had to offer. The itinerary was perfect, with our group even making the few 7 hour drive days easy and hilarious! I could not have asked for a better way to spend three weeks seeing a new part of East Africa. Thank you so much.Show moreAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewThank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, Georgia.
