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!
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!

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
