An incredible experience!
Sunny Safari offers outstanding service. From our very first emails, Jessica answered all of our many questions diligently, precisely and very patiently. We already had a precise itinerary we wanted to follow and they were completely open to modify their usual route.
As for our guide, Mr David Buyamba, he had it all: kind, patient, polite, hard-working, with eyes like a hawk and a sixth sense allowing him to spot all the species on your list. He was particularly good at relying on his own senses - and not on the radio - to find animals, thus giving us many one-on-one moments with our favourite animals. For instance, the first time we saw lions - two brothers in their prime - we were alone with them for at least 20 minutes, giving us all the time in the world to take pictures and observe. We also had a very special encounter with a cheetah and her two cubs eating a gazelle and once again, thanks to David’s eyes, we managed to be alone for perhaps more than an hour.
David was a true encyclopedia, even considering our pre-existing knowledge of Tanzania’s fauna, and his love for all wildlife was inspiring. He managed to be very discreet, yet always there when we needed him. He also taught us the basics of Swahili and made very interesting observations on the cultures of Tanzania.
The car itself was in very good condition and we did not have a single incident. It was very clean and David drove very carefully.
We also appreciated the fact that David picked us up when we arrived in Arusha and took us to our hotel, just like he did at the end of our trip. Sunny Safari works really hard to make your trip as comfortable as it can be. All in all, all of our high expectations were all met. Sunny Safaris did all they could to make our trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience and they deserve a perfect score on all grounds.

Perfect 5-days safari
We just returned to snowy Sweden from a fantastic week in Tanzania. We are a family of four where the kids are 10 and 15 years. We booked a 5 days’ safari where we visited the Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara.
Friends and colleagues recommended us to contact Sunny Safaris, which we did. The reservation, preparations for the travel went well and everything passed without complications.
When we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport, David met us. David was our guide and he took care of us throughout the trip.
It took a day until we realized we did not have to guard our interests, David did it for us!
He knew what we wanted to see and experience, and he had the experience and expertise to fulfill it. So, we handed ourselves in his hands and we did not have to regret it at any point. Better host and guide, one cannot get.
The structure of the route, guidance and the wonderfully nice and fine lodges were very good and incredibly affordable. It is sad that we didn’t plan for an extra night at Serena Hotel Ngorongoro for example. Lovely place with very friendly staff!
In the parks, David knew in advance where to take us to see all the animals. It was an amazing experience to be so close to all the wild animals without bothering or disturbing them, which is important.
We were overwhelmed by all the animals we saw, the beautiful scenery and everything interesting we experienced and were told about.
As Erik, 10 years repeatedly said to David. “This is the best I have experienced in my life!”

Amazing safari
Upon the recommendation of a friend we organized our 5 days safari trip with Sunny Safaris. The communication was clear and timely. When an issue with our payment arose, Sunny Safaris was of great help solving that. Upon arrival, Everything was extremely well organized. All accommodation was of very good quality and we felt very welcome everywhere.
Joseph was an excellent driver guide, very perceptive to our interests and we liked his sense for a bit of adventure. He is apart from very knowledgeable also pleasant company and made this safari therefore even more special.
Thanks to Sunny Safaris for an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic experience
We booked 4 days safari with Sunny Safaris on the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. The communication with Jessica was clear and timely, she answered all of our questions. Our safari guide was Athman Mohamed and cook Marcel Panga, both who gave us an amazing experience.
Our guide did a great job, he saw every single animal, we would never have seen. He drove very carefully and was quite patient with us. The cook was also fantastic – he cooked so good, that even our kids liked it ….and it doesn’t happen very often.
It's amazing what delicious meals they prepare on the road with such limited resources.
We recommend Sunny Safaris – professional company with big experience.

An abundance of animals and wonderful food
Due to the experience of our tour guide we drove to the best spots. He knew many things about nature and animals, so that we and our children were fascinated. Our cook prepared great food: healthy and delicious. The highlight was a dish with cooked bananas and chicken. The driver and cook were an excellent team together and were very well organized. We were very sad, when the safari was over.

Awesome experience!
I booked a 4 day safari with Sunny Safaris for a group of 6 people and we absolutly loved it. They were extremely communicative in our emails, cleared up all our questions and explained how everything worked with very fast replies. We were picked up at the airport and left right away for the agency to pay the rest of the safari. There we were welcomed by the employees, briefed on how the whole plan was set and how things would go. Everyday we got a lunch box with plenty of food for the whole day, the lodges we stayed at were amazing and our guide (named Hassan) was super awesome and nice. So I highly reccomend this agency for an amazing safari experience!!

Outstanding communication and service! Unforgettable experience!
Sunny Safaris is highly recommended! I booked our safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Crater for 4 days, for a family of three. Communication and booking was easy with quick responses to our questions and requests. Our driver, Joseph, picked us up in a remote village in northern Tanzania to begin our safari, and delivered us to the airport in Kilimanjaro at the end of our trip. Our accommodations were in a tent cabin and lodge, complete with comfortable bed, running water, hot showers, lovely dining experience and delicious food. Joseph made every effort to make our journey memorable and comfortable, from sunset
drives to see elephants to several wild cat sightings.
Thank you, Joseph and Jessica, for the outstanding service and unforgettable experience!

A third wonderful safari with Sunny
This was my third safari with Sunny Safari's. I have never been disappointed. The price is very reasonable and the value is excellent. We did a 5 day camping safari in the Northern Circuit. As they have in the past, the staff tailored the safari to our preferences and budget, and were very responsive and trustworthy. The cook prepared delicious food (the crepes were particularly delicious!) and our guide made sure we saw as much wildlife as possible (especially wild cats! -- 40 lions, a cheetah family of 4, 5 leopards, and 1 serval cat). Our camps, dining areas, and tents were all comfortable. The safari went smoothly without a hitch. There is a reason I have chosen Sunny Safaris three times now :)
