    Fantastic trip! Everything was as described, and organised perfectly by Manache our leader, and Steve our driver. We camped in amazing places, some next to National Parks or on beaches, some with swimming pools. On Zanzibar accommodation was perfect right on the beach. We saw all the animals you could hope for, including the gorillas and chimpanzees, Of course there were long dusty drives but you are in Africa. There was always plenty of food for us to cook and we enjoyed the meals cooked by the teams with Nash's guidance. I wish I had booked the 73 day Absolute Safari! I will be back to do the second half!

    This tour was absolutely fantastic, made all the more better by our guide Aly and driver Steve. Had a total ball travelling through Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania for 5.5 weeks. It was an awesome mix of culture, safari and then relaxing on the beach. Would totally recommend the tour, and Absolute Africa to anybody. Already plotting my next safari

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • When is the best time to view the migration?

      The prime time to visit the Serengeti in Tanzania is usually regarded as being from late November through to March when the big herds of wildebeest, Thomson’s gazelle and zebra head on to the southern plains of the Serengeti.

      To get the best viewing on the other hand in Kenya's Masai Mara July through to September are usually regarded as the best months.

    • What is the local payment?

      The local payment is a separate payment from the initial price you pay before you leave. If a local payment is required it will be shown with the trip price. This second payment is made in Africa at the start of your trip. It is payable in USD. The local payment provides us with the means for expenses that need to be paid in cash to local businesses en route to be arranged in the most cost effective manner possible, a saving we can then pass on to you. It also means we can operate in a way that directly supports local businesses and wildlife authorities as we travel. Local Payment will not be changed once you have booked your travel arrangements.

    • How much will this tour really cost?

      The costs to consider when travelling overland are:

      Safari price & Local payment,
      Optional excursions,
      Personal spending money,
      Visas.

      We are always very transparent about what a tour will cost and are happy to go through personal, tailored budgets to give you a very realistic idea of what you will spend on your tour - whether you are an adrenaline junkie, souvenir-shopaholic or travelling on a shoestring…

    • I am currently comparing the tours "Wildlife & Spice Island" and "Gorillas to Zanzibar". Can you please help me find out the differences?

      The biggest difference between the two trips is that the Wildlife and Spice safari travels from Rwanda into Tanzania and visit lake Victoria and the Grumeti reserve which the gorillas to Zanzibar does not do. Also in this trip the Serengeti and Ngorongoro trip is included while on the gorillas to zanzibar trip this is an optional extra.

    Can’t find the answer to your question?
    Reach out to the experts at Absolute Africa with your enquiry, they usually respond within 9 hours.
