Unforgettable experience
I had 5 days of Safari and I loved the service. The driver and guide (Hassan) was extremely funny and terrific once he had a great knowledge and led us to the best places so that we could see many animals. The only negative point for me was the food that was served during the gameplays. In general, the experience was unforgettable.

A Memorable Safari
My two friends and I went with Sunny Safaris on our 6 day/5 night camping safari in Tanzania. We visited four parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The scenery and wildlife throughout this trip wowed us all.
The trip, logistics and customer service exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process, Jesca, the manager, was prompt and informative in her responses. She was very willing to cater to our requests. Moreover, we appreciated the fact that she would check to see how we were doing every few days during the trip. That is customer service at a supreme level.
We were also very pleased with our driver/guide, Abdullah, and our cook, Dogo. Abdullah always listened to our requests and made awesome recommendations on where and when to visit the parks. He is very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna in the area and was eager to educate us on them. Thanks to his instincts and experience, we were able to see wildlife that others may not have seen, including leopards, a rhino and a male lion. We thoroughly enjoyed Dogo's cooking. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety and tastiness of his food, especially since we were camping. It is always nice to have hot food and beverages and Dogo was able to do so with smiles.
Overall, Sunny Safaris delivers high-quality and value-driven vacations. As with every tour operator/vacation, you will need to do your research and ask questions during the planning stage if you would like the vacation to meet your expectations.

Vivid memories with Sunny Safaris..
It has been several months since the visit to Tanzania, but the brightness of the memories and warmth of meetings with good people is not jammed.
This was our family vacation and we wanted everything to go safely and orderly as possible. Never for a moment regretted that the chosen company of Sunny Safaris. Everything went flawlessly. We thank all the friendly staff for the excellent organization of our trip. Special thanks I would like to say to Ms Jesca for a permanent customer care and friendly attitude.
We hope to see you soon. Good luck and prosperity to you!

Perfect Tanzania Safari with Sunny Safaris
I booked a January 2015 Safari with Sunny Safaris and everything was flawless from the planning process through completion. The company responded very quickly to all inquiries and worked closely with me to tailor a personal private safari for us. The price was better than any competitors and service was top notch. The safari was amazing and we saw everything we wanted and more. The guide, Edward, did an amazing job and was very knowledgeable. Vehicle was comfortable and worked perfectly for the trip. The team went out of there way to make this safari an unforgettable one. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best safari in Tanzania!

Safaris with Sunny since 1999
Have travelled with Sunny annually for the past 17 years. Firm is long established with a big fleet of nice vehicles but still provides personal service. Our latest safari was for 8 weeks, camping mainly in Special campsites. We commenced in the Selous then flew back to Arusha while Hamisi our Driver made the long return road journey. We then visited Arusha Park, Tarangire, Manyara and Serengeti, quite a complex logistical feat, but fresh food supplies were well organised, even arriving by air in Serengeti. Our regular cook is Michael who is superb, even baking his own bread on the campfire. . Highly recommended.

Unforgettable safari experience
We did a three-day safari with Sunny Safaris in December 2014, starting in Arusha and ending in Mwanza. I can only say that it was an unforgettable experience! We saw all of the Big Five and witnessed two lions savouring a wildebeast from up close.
The first night we spent at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge,which offers a breathtaking view from the terrace, decent food, and fabulous rooms. The second night we slept at Serengeti Kati Kati Camp. An outstanding camping experience, with large tents including toilet and shower, solar lighting, a dining tent with excellent food and a campfire at night.
Our guide Ismael was friendly and knew all about the animals in the park. He clearly knows his way through the park and drove us all the way to western Mwanza without ever consulting a map. Yet, he had some problems locating the tented camp site; apparently the camp changes location frequently and finding the camp in absence of satellite navigation required quite some meandering.
One thing you should make sure to agree upon when booking with Sunny Safaris, is the number of days you will get inside the park. In our initial package we had a three day safari, but only 48 hours inside the parks. (Park entry goes via a sophisticated and rigid smartcard-system, which allows entr

4 days in the Serengeti/ngorongoro
Booked a last minute safari through Jessica. She did a great job meeting our budget and desired itinerary. Very timely responses via email helped us immensely. They even took our credit card info and passport scan in lieu of a bank transfer.
Truck was in good shape and we didn't have any breakdowns (saw many near ngorongoro). Wish that they had told us that it didn't have A/C. Afternoon drives were brutal because it was so hot and the dust from other vehicles gave us coughs.
Jessica also lent us her binoculars and called to check in on our progress and satisfaction during the safari. A very nice touch.
The driver, BJ, was knowledgeable and spoke good english. He was gruff and made it tough to get comfortable in his presence (we spent 6-8hours a day with him in the car). The cook, Vincent, was rude and did not ask us when and what we'd like to eat. We were at his mercy when it came to schedule. We also discovered that the meals he prepared for the staff were better than the meals prepared for us.
At the end of the day we were there for the animals and we tried to keep that in mind. The tour operator was great. In our case, the staff was lackluster. Hopefully you get nicer, more respectful guides/cooks. If so, your experience will be 5 stars!
Amazing experience
Our Experience with Sunny Safaris was great right from the start. We emailed Jessica and she responded very quickly with a quote. She was able to answer all our questions and was very organized arranging a pick up from a difficult location and with assisting us with payment options. She was also very friendly once we met her at the office to make our final payment, and answered all of our last minute questions before we departed on our Safari. Our driver David was fantastic, he was friendly, knowledgable and made us feel very safe. We loved the fact that we were able to see the big 5 as well as numerous other animals. David was able to get us up close to so many different animals which was awesome! We were able to take many beautiful pictures and loved the experience of the great migration. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in a great experience.

100% match with our wishes and needs! Already second amazing time with sunny safaris!
We just came back from a 14 day safari and are still wondering about this perfect organized and absolutely well done trip!
Right from the start we had an excellent communication with Jessica, answering all our questions, fullfilling all suggestions, adapting our wishes to reasonable timing , locations and activities. We felt more than comfortable already in planning our journey! Service was great, payment easy via bank transfer from germany (we paid 100% in advance) and everything was so amazingly good organized. Driving times, hiking, game viewings.....moreover, we even had the feeling, that in every camp/lodge we had the best rooms/tents..wonderful. Jessica even was calling us on our trip to check if everything is alright! Thanks a lot!
Our safari was a good mix of game drives (Arusha NP 1 d, Tarangire 2 d, Ngorogoro 1 d, Serengeti 5 d, Ndutu 1 d), hiking (Crater highlands 2d) and walking (Lake Natron 1d and Arusha 1d). For the price we paid, it was for real exclusive!
David was an outstanding wildlife guide and great driver. Never saw him looking up a map, even though we went mostly off the beaten track, being alone in the wild, especially in Serengeti. Always best informed where to go for finding the rare animals. We had such a great time! Driving was always secure and we felt very comfortable with his open-minded and hearty personality.
Well done!!!!!
