Great experience!
We booked a 10 day safari for 5 people, and traveled to Seronera, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. We just returned and had a wonderful trip with Sunny Safaris. Our guide, Raphael, was amazing! He seemed to have a knack for finding animals that no other drivers had seen. We had hoped to see a few lions and maybe a cheetah - we ended up seeing almost 40 lions and at least 3 cheetahs up close. Raphael was very informative, friendly, and easy to talk to. He listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly.
Our cook, Chalice, was also great! He came up with some really amazing food, even when we camped at the special camp in Ndutu with no running water and no electricity. He was very attentive to what we liked and didn't like, and always made sure we had plenty of great food to eat (his samosas and soups were the best!).
Booking the trip was also very easy - we corresponded via email with Masha, who was always quick to answer any questions, and helped set up a personalized itinerary for us.
We had a great experience with Sunny Safaris, and would recommend this company to anyone looking to book a safari. Ask for Raphael (driver/guide) and Chalice (cook)!

Highly recommend!
We had an excellent 7-day private safari arranged by our tour operator Jessica from the Sunny Safaris. We chose the company purely based on the communication with Jessica via emails. She's a real professional. And so were our driver and cook. Very friendly, very knowledgeable people. The food variety and quality exceeded our expectations by far. Also, the car, the tent and all equipment were in a very good condition. Needless to say, we saw plenty of animals (again, the numbers exceeded our expectations) - Serengeti and Tarangiri were our favorite places. We do recommend Sunny Safaris as a reliable and professional tour operator.

Great tour with an experienced guide
Very good communications and service. The cook asked what kind of food we liked and cooked accordingly. They set up out tent, provided us with all information we asked for. Without our guide we would have never seen 3 rhino's. The vehicle was perfect and very spacious.
All in all great value for money and HIGHLY recommended, ask for Sami as a guide!

Wonderful 3 day safari with Sunny Safaris
We had a 3 day trip with Sunny Safaris, going to Tarangire and staying at Simba tented lodge, then Ngorongoro and staying at Kilimamoja Lodge before a final day at lake Maynara. We were collected from our hotel in Arusha by our wonderful driver guide Pius, who has 19 years' experience as a safari guide, and he looked after our comfort and was a fount of knowledge about the wildlife and vegetation in the parks, and well as people and places we drove past on our way to the parks.
The accommodation was great, we really enjoyed the ambiance of Simba lodge, and Kilimamojo was very luxurious.
The food was excellent, including the picnic lunches.
Pius liaised with other drivers in the parks to find us the most exciting close encounters with the animals.
The safari was a wonderful experience and we think Sunny Safaris did an excellent job. Highly recommended to safari with this family company.

Incredible eight day trip with Sunny Safaris
Our tour operator Jessica was professional and patient. She replied promptly to all of our emails, with detailed advice on how to optimize our time in Tanzania. Without her suggestions, we would have wasted many hours on the road and missed out on seeing the beautiful Lake Manyara.
Abdul, our guide, was punctual, fun and always accommodating throughout our trip. He is a steady driver, and is absolutely brilliant at finding animals. We heard of his reputation for having an eagle eye; it’s truly no joke. We were often the first to see the big cats. Abdul spotted lions under a dense bush, snakes in the grass, hyenas strolling two hundred meters away. He has been a safari guide for fifteen years; and his experience shows. He knows where to position the car to photograph an animal, how to circle animals in order to stalk them and when to wait patiently to see animal action. Most impressive was when we saw a male cheetah in the shades of a tree, Abdul immediately pointed out a mother cheetah with cubs far away walking towards us. As other cars moved on, Abdul urged us to wait patiently because he could tell the female cheetah was contemplating a kill. We watched the cheetah inch closer to a gazelle, and an hour later we witnessed her chase after, kill and eat the gazelle with her three cubs. We were able to enjoy this once in a lifetime moment thanks to Abdul’s keen eye and his shrewd call to wait with the cheetah. The previous day, he also directed three other drivers to stall a female leopard so we could all stalk and observe her for an hour while she walked by two meters from our car, carrying her baby in her mouth. My family had an unforgettable trip with Sunny Safaris; Abdul’s knowledge and intuition about animals were invaluable to our fulfilling and exciting game viewing experience.

Great experience with Sunny Safari!
Great experience with Sunny Safari! Jessica always answered all our questions prompty and organized our hotel in Arusha and ride from airport. Hamisi was our driver/guide for the safari and provided excellent service. He could spot an animal miles away- like a Leopard hiding in a tree. He handled driving the very bumpy and challenging roads especially in the crater with great skill and ease. My husband and I are middle age and did the Tangarerie National Park (1 night), Serengeti (3 nights) and Sopa lodge (1 night) for 5 nights. We found too much driving for 6 days and would recommend either flying to Serengeti or out of Serengeti or adding another stop in between. Also, the safari jeep are the basic vehicle with no frills. If you want the luxury jeeps with big comfy seats, a/c, nice big coolers then book the more expensive safari. Otherwise, we were satisified customers.
