A Travel Agency You Can Count On!
I'm a published travel and food writer and have traveled extensively all over the world. A few years ago I gave up using American travel agencies because they knew little to none on the tours they were booking. That's when I turned to booking with local agents in the various countries I travel to. First you'll save a whole lot of money and secondly if you encounter any difficulties in your travel plans it's nice to have "feet on the ground". In my case Michelle and Brett were there to handle a travel plan change quickly and efficiently.
On our recent trip to South Africa our travel plans when seamlessly without a hitch. Every recommendations that Sun Sarfaris made were spot on! Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to use this company. They're can be trusted to deliver. Also don't get caught up on some of the bad reviews on Trip Advisor…everybody has their own personal expectations and when it comes to travel half of them are ridiculous!

Good communication
This is the 4th time we have booked with Sun Safaris. Michelle was wonderful to work with, and took a personal interest in our trip with phone calls when needed. We have always appreciated Brett's input and advice. The trip to Botswana went smoothly with no hitches. Thank you Michelle for taking such a personal interest in our safari, and that we were able to see and enjoy such a special part of Africa.

Excellent service and great communications from an outstanding team !
We recently spent 3 weeks in Southern and Eastern Africa on a tour we had been planning for a year. We had great service from Michelle Astbury at Sunsafaris who arranged this tour for us. Our tour included many internal flights , 3 countries , 2 safaris and many lodges . The whole trip went like clockwork. Guides were excellent , always on time and we were extremely well received and treated at places like Nthambo Lodge , Nasikia Camp , the Plantation , Sopa and Simba Lodges. We were fortunate to see all the wildlife that was on our list and more. What a great experience...one that we will remember forever. Thank you Michelle and all the people involved in making this one , the trip of a lifetime.

Experience of a lifetime
We are from Canada and contacted Sun Safaris via email. We were a little worried at first being so far away and with dealing only through internet, but we were very satisfied with the quick response every time we emailed a question or with a change in our itinerary. For multiple reasons, we dealt with 4 different agents, the last one, Michelle, was superbe. Always delivering the information as promised. During our stay in Cape Town, we even stopped by the office to meet her.
As far as the tour arrangements were concerned, we spent 25 days in Africa, in South Africa, in Zambia and Tanzania. All accommodations, all flights all tours were exactly as booked, no surprises, all went according to itinerary. We were thrilled.
We loved our accommodations, the food was wonderful, the staff at all locations were exceptionnally friendly and very helpful.
We loved our African adventure and would highly recommend Sun Safaris to anyone.

Sun Safaris - Excellent & professional service
Our family has just returned from an amazing safari in Sabi Sands Reserve & Vic Falls, to celebrate a special birthday.
Natasha from Sun Safaris has been an absolute pleasure to deal with from beginning to end.
She put together a perfect itinerary with flights, road transfers and accommodation at beautiful lodges.
Even though SAA airline delayed one of our flights which caused some complications for us, Natasha & Brett were a phone call away and contacted all concerned and rescued our trip.
I highly recommend Sun Safaris for their professionalism and good communication throughout the booking process. Natasha is a lovely, friendly agent who kept us informed and though very thorough and professional came across very personable.
THANK YOU Sun Safaris for a wonderful & memorable holiday!

Fantastic trip to South Africa
We travelled to South Africa in Dec 2014 as a group of 5 and stayed in 2 camps in greater Kruger national park over 7 nights. Both camps were brilliant. We then went on to Cape Town for 8 nights. Everything went according to plan and the recommendations from Natasha were great! The safari was better than we imagined and Cape Town was also beautiful with plenty to do! Natasha was always very fast responding when I had a query. I would certainly book a safari through Sun Safaris again. Excellent service!
Well researched andefficient.
My wife and I approached Natasha Allen to arrange our tour to South Africa Kruger National Park and Cape Tow. Natasha was very efficient and prompt with her assistance and our tour and bookings were all as promised. I recommend Natasha as a knowledgeable and experienced tour adviser who will ensure a very enjoyable trip to southern Africa.
Exceptional Service - Seamless Trip
My wife and I were extremely impressed with Celeste at Sun Safaris in booking our safari in Africa. She was helpful, knowledgable and made our trip seamless, allowing us to focus on the fantastic wildlife. The camps she help us choose were perfect, and she was able to cater to our very last request.

Sun Safaris (especially Natasha Allan, Cape Town) are friendly and professional.
I have recently returned from paradise (Okavango Delta, Botswana) and my thanks to Sun Safaris for their excellent service in providing the booking and all the information that made my trip so easy. I stayed in three different Ker & Downey camps, Okuti, Kanana and Shinde, flying by light aircraft between each camp. All perfectly arranged by my travel consultant, Natasha Allan, Sun Safaris, Cape Town. The camps are wonderful, the staff are so happy and the game drives so rewarding. I will have to go again and I will certainly be more than happy to book once again with Sun Safaris.

A very professional and experienced travel agent with good individual suggestions
After our very good experience with Sun Safari in 2007 and 2009 we came back again in 2014 for our trip to Namibia and South Africa. Brett Thomson and his Team listend to our basic ideas and came up with professional suggestions, e.g. substitution of long driving distances with light aircraft transfer. To follow this was the best decision - a great experience to see Namibia from the air. Also all recommended lodges were outstanding and fits perfectly to our needs. The communication via email was very pleasant and with short response times. We really can recommend this agency to all travellers with individual wishes. You can be sure that your vacation is in best hands.
