Just good enough.
Generally speaking, the experience was quite good. However, there were some points that we did not like at all.
First of all, the visit to the "Masai village" from the Enkorok Mara Camp hotel. The hotel is very nice. However, we had a very bad experience with the visit to the “Masai village”. It is not worth visiting it at all. We were 2 adults and 1 kid. We pay 70$ for a 15-20 minutes visit plus the big market that they make ready just after finishing the visit to try to sell to you different kind of items.
Regardless of the cost, the worst point was the feeling we got after the visit. We felt that the only and main aim of the visit was to get money from the foreigners, not to show a real Masai village.
The hotel itself is not directly involved in this visit/activity, but they are aware of the situation. In fact, one of the hotel staff members were directly involved in the visit as an inhabitant of the Masai village. Therefore, they should advise their clients about the details of the activity.
Second one, we got the feeling that our guide was "just doing his job" without providing any extra advice or knowledge of many points related to the trip. For example, he does not advise us on how to deal with the shopping at the markets. He neither advise us on the visit to the Masai village. In fact, he even recommended us to go to the Masai village.
Therefore, it could have been quite better.

Superb company that knows how to adapt to the needs of its customers
Superb company! It was our first Safari. Thanks to James' advice we had a great holiday, 13 days on safari and 6 days at the beach to relax. Thoya our driver guide also had all the qualities to make this holiday unforgettable. He speaks French very well and knows the behavior of the animals very well, his patience is also unfailing. It is thanks to him that we were able to see the big five from the first park.
I highly recommend this company, very good dialogue with James who was able to meet our requirements.

Professional and perfect service for my unparalleled 8 days.
It was my first time in Kenya and I was lucky to choose wildlife sun safaris. and our guide Jackson.
Immediately after leaving the airport we saw James waiting for us. He wanted to introduce us to our guide Jackson and the general itinerary which was a great start.
Our guide Jackson has more than 20 years of experience, he is very professional and he never breaks the safari rules. At Amboseli the elephants were trying to cross the road, but many cars were blocking the road to get the closest shot of the elephants, Jackson stepped away a bit to let the elephants have more space, and dozens of elephants chose to cross right in front of us! It was a pretty spectacular scene!
In the Masai Mara we saw cheetahs feeding, many cars chose to leave after the cheetahs had gone far away and Jackson managed to predict the cheetahs' route, he led us to the two resting cheetah brothers under a tree, just a meter outside our window.
I forgot my camera cover in my life jacket at nivasha and when I got back to the hotel I realized my mistake and Jackson went right back and got it back for me he was really nice! Even though our English was not very good he did his best to help us and the ride was very smooth.
Also, I am very thankful to James, the hotel we booked in Lake Naivasha was not available due to special reasons James helped us to change to Naivasha sopa, which was the best and most enjoyable hotel we stayed in the whole trip! He could have switched me to a worse hotel but didn't. He also called us directly to explain when there was a problem, which was very reassuring.
Leaving Kenya was very upsetting, we didn't get to see the leopards and the black rock boy lions and sara boy lions that I wanted to see on this trip, but I don't feel bad about that because it will be the reason for my next meeting with Wildlife sun safaris, Jackson, and James.

Third time to Kenya
This is our third time traveling to Kenya. We designed our itinerary according to our preferences, and "Wildlife Sun" was able to accommodate our requests and make flexible arrangements. The price was also reasonable.
As always, every visit to Kenya is unforgettable. We would like to express our special thanks to our guide, Jackson. He not only took care of our transportation and meals but also, with his extensive experience and knowledge of animals, successfully predicted the direction of animal movements in the distance several times. As a result, we were able to observe the animals from the best possible distance, especially getting up close to observe the behavior of lions and cheetahs, which was truly thrilling. It's worth emphasizing that during our time at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, due to our interest, we were really keen on seeing Ankole cattle. Jackson tirelessly searched for them until the very last moment. Finally, just before leaving the conservancy, we successfully found the Ankole cattle, and we even had the opportunity to get up close to them, which was truly moving.
We will definitely return to Kenya, and we hope that next time we will still have Jackson as our guide.

The safari tour was very enjoyable and organised. We had a great experience!
My husband and I had a very comfortable stay at Salt Lick Lodge and had an amazing Safari experience with Wildlife Sun Safaris. The communication with the company was very efficient and clear. Our tour guide, Hemed, added to our experiene as he was very knowledgeable about the animals and we had a very fun time on our game drives. He made our experience very enjoyable. Everything was organised in the best way which allowed us to see a great variety of animals on our drives.

Professional, thoughtful and experienced.
My wife and I booked the 4 day Masai Mara trails with Wildlife Sun Safari's to see the great migration in Aug 2023. We had some issues getting into Kenya which might have delayed our trip and the team were happy to be flexible around our dates, but luckily we were able to arrive on time and proceed as planned.
While on safari, our guide/driver was very experienced, knowledgeable and respectful to the wildlife we were viewing. We really appreciated that he followed the rules and didn't drive off the designated tracks to chase animals like other tour operators did. We had a great time on safari and saw heaps of wildlife, including the great migration, and were well looked after thanks to the team at Wildlife Sun Safaris.

Wonderfull experience thanks to Wildlife sun safaris
We went on a 8 days safari together with our 2 children of 6 and 8.
On the first morning we were picked up at the hotel in Nairobi.
There the consultant James explained the journey and introduced us to the driver Toya. Both very nice and experienced guys!
From there we went to Masaai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. At the end our driver dropped us off in Diani beach. Toya was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and where to find them. We saw 3 leopards!
Every location and accommodation was of excellent choice and very affortable.
We had the best time thanks to this organisation and can recommend them to everybody!

Ask for James and Silas - Maasai Mara experience for wildebeest and zebra crossing
Highly recommend!! Ask for James and Silas - James helps with bookings and Silas will ensure you have an incredible safari full of animal sightings/photos and of course fantastic hospitality. We stayed at the Rhino Camp that is close to the Masaai Mara; the cooks are wonderful and make very tasty food.
On our safari, Silas made sure we saw wildcats in the wild and also his experience gave us a good chance to witness a Wildebeest Migration/Crossing. Wow , wow, wow. Words are not enough to highlight how happy and awesome it will make you feel. Nature is beyond imagination.
Thank you so much Silas and James!
