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.

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!

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!”

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.

Outstanding driver guide that made our experience amazing
Greta experience with Sunny Safaris from the booking through to the outstanding driver guide who took us on our trip. He was very knowledgable about the area and all the animals we saw. More than happy to recommend this company to anyone going on safari in Tanzania.

Amazing safari experience
A couple of weeks ago we had our holiday which was booked with the Dutch agency AV tours for Kenya and Tanzania. For the Tanzanian part it seems they outsourced it to Sunny Safaris.
From 15 – 20 September we had to pleasure to have Joseph as guide for Lake Victoria, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crate. I really like to send my compliments since he was such a good guide to have. He explained a lot, spotted the most difficult to see animals and besides of that, was good company.
We are also very interested into the birdlife and he really did everything he could to point out the birds and the names in case we didn’t know it.
We can’t recommend Joseph enough as a guide,

professional , close and trusted
Hello, from the very begening, the comunication was very eficient, I was trying to organise the safari from Europe for my family, we have made many diferent proposals and we had always a quick and profesional answer. We are 4 in the family, including my 2 sons, 9 and 13 years old, my wife and me. The whole Safari starting from the negotiation of the different options, the reception in Arusha, the guide, the route, all was really fantastic. The guide was a clever and profesional guy, showing us the country, natural life, culture and much more much better and depper tan expected. My family was always safe and happy. All locations were incredible, offering different prespectives and aproaches but all of them in very high level of price-quality balance. I can not remenber nothing negative of the whole Safari, appart of the dust of the tanzanian offroad routes jajajaj!

An experience of a lifetime!
Our week long safari experience of Tanzania was beyond my wildest dreams! Knowing that we were going there in the dry season, we weren't sure if this was a good time to view the animals, since many were gone on their migration. We hit the jackpot! We saw everything, many times, from lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and zebras to hyenas, ostriches, and gnus. This was due to our excellent driver/guide, Baltazary John or BJ as we liked to call him. BJ was knowledgeable of the terrain as well as the animals and birds and shared that information with us all day long. He made sure we were up and out of our lodges/tents early in the morning and kept going until late in the afternoon so that we didn't miss a thing. We were always where the action was. Our accommodations were clean and comfortable if not downright beautiful. For those of you traveling Tanzania by 4x4 and not by air, don't forget to ask about the African massage. How I miss it!
