    THE Most amazing thing I've done in my life, pushed myself totally out of my comfort zone and did things I can only now think of as amazing memories. From putting up our tents at lovely campsites, being on the overland truck for hours with beautiful scenery, White water kayaking, gorilla trekking, safari in the Masai Mara, rhino trekking, basket weaving its been epic. We had the best trip leader Nash and driver Steve keeping us safe and in check the whole time, good food and company my tour friends wow, I've had such a laugh. Thankyou sooooo much, I will remember forever and cherish this special time xxx

    AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I had the best time on my 54 day safari with absolute. Travelling overland allowed us to see spectacular scenery every day, and I can’t believe how many unforgettable experiences we had in this amount of time. A few highlights were ; swimming with dolphins in Zanzibar, Lake Malawi’s village tour, rhino trekking, all the game drives ; especially Etosha, Chobe and South Luangwa (night drive), boating through the okovango delta, and climbing sand dunes in Namibia! Bear in mind these are just highlights, and we did much more! I met some lovely people on the tour, who made the experience what it was, and who I now count as good friends. Our tour guide was also fantastic - being kind, organised and detail oriented (which was massively appreciated), as well and knowledgeable about each place we went. Our guide and absolute also dealt very well with two siblings, who were swiftly removed from the tour due to verbal abuse, racist & homophobic comments. This shows that absolute do really enforce a zero tolerance policy for any of these forms of mistreatment. Rest assured that those siblings were an anomaly though, and everyone else on the tour got on which made two months of living, cooking and cleaning together enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour, and I guarantee you will leave having met amazing people, and having seen the most fab places.

    If you’re thinking about an overland trip in Africa, I wholeheartedly recommend Absolute Africa. My girlfriend and I wouldn’t usually join a tour when travelling and we were a little nervous about it, but we needn’t have been; it was an amazing experience. Of the companies I researched, I liked Absolute because it’s the most flexible (there are lots of routes, and you only pay for the excursions you want). Booking was really smooth, and they give you lots of info to help you prepare for the trip (thanks Sophie!). On the tour itself, the guides and drivers have been fantastic. Big shout outs to Joseph, David, Marvin, Joe, Hesron and Emias. The buses are really nice, with more legroom than I was expecting! Yes there are some long, bumpy drives but honestly it’s quite fun. And all the campsites were great—almost all have had a bar and most have even had swimming pools! To be honest, the only negative I experienced was two of our fellow passengers, who have left negative reviews below. Their comments are completely unfounded from what I experienced. In fact, they were abusive to other tour members—including a 75 year old woman—as well as to our guides. They also said some pretty shocking things about the locals which I won’t share here. They were given a warning, and then almost immediately became abusive again. I personally see it as a huge positive that Absolute intervened and removed them from the trip and that behaviour like that isn’t tolerated. After being told they were being removed they trashed the bus, cut the wires to our fridge and charging point, and smashed a window. It tells you everything you need to know about them. Anyway, to finish on something more positive, some of the highlights for me were the game drives in the Serengeti, South Luangwa, Chobe and Etosha parks; Lake Kariba houseboat; village tour on Lake Malawi; the Okavango Delta; Spitzkoppe; and Sossusvlei.

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 me?

      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…
