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.

Tre greatest budget-Safari!
we wanted a great safari-experience without spending a fortune and this was the perfect alternative. Our guide, Baltazary John, was very competent and talkative and we truley recommend him and Sunny sAFARIS. We had a 2 Days Safari in Tarangire and the Ngorongoro crater and we are very pleased. The lodge was nice and food was great.

Good organisation, welcoming attitude and attention to special needs
Answers to all question before the trip. Lodging
fulfilled expectations (we especially liked the Simba camp and Serengeti Bush camp), good food everywhere
A unique vacation experience
Great overall tour done per itinerary planned with our agent, Jessica, who was very helpful and prompt in email
response to any and all questions we had. Our driver and guide, Abbas, was very informative about the wildlife and went out of his way to find the wildlife we all enjoyed. The safari vehicle took a lot of road abuse and we urge the Tanzanian government to improve the Serengeti park roads.

Expectional staff made this trip outstanding
I was in email contact with Sunny Safaris for over 12 months arranging our trip. Each time our tour consultant Jessica replied promptly with answers to my questions and making suggestions. It was a pleasure to communicate through the reservation process. We chose a lodge accommodation and it was obvious Sunny Safaris has long established relationships with their accommodation providers. Our driver and tour escort Joseph was exceptional. He is a very experienced driver and we would often be in areas well away from most other vehicles. Joseph would discuss with us each day options for the following day and would do his best to meet any of our requests. He has an a great knowledge of the wildlife as well as the people and the land. A very special 6 day experience.
Excellent lodge safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorogoro Crater
We booked our safari directly through the website (from Australia) 3 months prior and transferred a 50% deposit. We paid the balance (on credit card) on arrival in Arusha. This all went smoothly. The safari goes regardless of numbers and in our case it was just us 2 plus Abdul.
Cannot recommend Sunny Safaris and Abdul (our guide/driver) enough. Seeing 2 cheetahs close up has to be one of the experiences of our lives! Abdul is brilliant at spotting animals, an excellent safe driver, lovely guy & very knows everything!

Magic & more than expected
For sure we recommend Sunny Safaris as a safari tour operator! Before the Safari, booking and communication were very simple and clear, no problem with 50% payment. The D-Day, the guide was on time. We spent 3 days/2nights with no problem; Daniel our guide was so cool and professional. There were a lot of laughs and we saw all the animals we wanted to see. The life in the camp was good thanks to Damien our cook and the campsite was very safe just next to Lake Manyara Park. Excellent service and friendly team! More than expected like I said, we will come back!

Awesome experience with large group!
I recently worked with Sunny Safaris on a 3-day safari for a group of 15 people, and my experience was excellent. This was my third time to go on safari and I have used a different operator each year. This year, I had a specific itinerary (which was pretty aggressive, trying to squeeze as much as we could into 3 days), and I got bids from Sunny Safaris plus the 2 other operators I had used in the past. I had heard about Sunny Safaris because they had approached the Director of the NGO we were working with to let him know of their services and he passed their information on to me. Jessica was always prompt and courteous in responding to my emails. Sunny Safaris was the low bid and was the most flexible in planning the trip. In fact, one of the other operators was a sister company to the camp we wanted to stay at in the Serengeti and they told me that there were not enough tents available with private toilets and showers for all of our group. Sunny Safaris guaranteed me that we would all have private toilets and showers, so that sealed the deal for me and it turned out when we got there that we indeed all had private toilets and showers. I read some online reviews and ended up requesting specific drivers and they agreed to make sure that we were assigned drivers from the list I requested. We had 3 vehicles and our drivers were Peter, James, and Abdul. All had fantastic attitudes, were willing to answer our multitudes of questions, and found all the animals we wanted to see. Peter, in particular, was the first to spot a leopard on 2 different occasions - not just the first in our group, the first person in the whole Serengeti. It was impressive. Abdul always seemed to have a knack for positioning his vehicle in just the right place where the animals would get closest to him or walk right in front or behind. Once, a lioness decided to rest in the shadow cast by his vehicle, just under the spare tire. I did not ever ride in James' vehicle, but those who did said he was a wealth of knowledge about all the animals and was especially good at knowing all the birds without having to look at a guide book. The only minor criticism I had was that we lost a little time on the first day. Our pick up location was off the beaten path and they were about a half hour late finding us. Then, we had to stop to buy water along the way, so we probably lost about an hour in that process. With our tight itinerary, it made us rush a bit for the rest of the day, but that was just a minor inconvenience. Overall, I was extremely pleased with our experience and I will use them again next year with another group.
