Wonderful experience!
We had a 14 days tours with Wildlife Sun Safaris. 10 days of Safari and 4 days in Diani Beach. We went to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Bogoria, Navaisha, Amboseli, Tsavo west and Tsavo East. It was a great experience! We saw the big fives and many other animals. Wonderful landscapes too. Our guide Thoya was very profesional and friendly. He drove very safely. The communication with James was always easy and efficient. We saw him at the beginning and at the end of the tour. The tented camp, lodges and hotels were very nice.
The experience was really great and we completely recommend Wildlife Sun Safaris.

Best safari in kenya
We were on a 5 day long safari from Nairobi to Amboseli national park and tsavo east and tsavo west. Everything went smoothly with James in the beginning. he always responded to our queries by email within 1 day and although the deposit is made prior to the safari by bank transfer, all went great.
Niki was our driver and we always felt in safe hands. he is a very experienced driver who knows a lot about kenyas history and wildlife and explained everything whenever you had questions. we felt very comfortable and Niki always met our expectations. He made sure we see lots of animals and most of the time was one of the first drivers who arrived when an animal was seen. we would definitely choose wildlife safari again and choose Niki again as our driver, he became a dear person to us! thank you again. we would highly recommend it.

Good experience, but there is still room for improvement
What we liked the most is that everything that we booked was on time and James was able to adjust the booking according to our wishes.
We visited AA Lodge in Amboselli and Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge in Tsavo West. We would definitely recommend Amboselli for game drives with the view on mt. Kilimanjaro and Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge for unique experience, where wild animals (elephants, baboons, zebras, buffalos etc.) are walking under your room to get some fresh water.
We expected the driver to be more communicative/sociable, as it is was our first visit to Africa.
We wanted to know as much as possible about wildlife or Kenya in general, but the driver was rather quiet. If you are looking for a high-end safari with a proper guide, who can give you at least some information about animals, game drives, Kenya or Africa, I would recommend another company. Maybe it's just a matter of person and WildLife Sun Safaris has more experienced guides/drivers.

Very nice trip - Tsavo East / West - Amboseli
Very good organized Safari. All pick up's in time. Driver very friendly, careful and experienced. We have seen all the usual animals like lions, giraffs, Buffalos, elephants and a lot more (but I dont know the english names :-)
Wildlife Sun Safari was our joice because the Price was much lower then from european agents or the hotel offers. Okay, the car was not realy new and our first lodge was..hm… one night, okay. A lower Price Contents compromises. On the other side: it's better if a local Agent Profits.
This may not Sound very enthusiastic but realy: we enjoyed the Safari and we will contact Wildlife Sun Safari next time again !!!

An adventure to remember!
I am very happy to give a glowing review of Wildlife Sun Safaris! My friend and I are from the U.S. and went on a 5-day getaway from Nairobi to Mombasa through Amboseli, Tsavo West/Taita Hills and Tsavo East. From start to finish the experience was comfortable, reliable and a ton of fun. Arranging our custom itinerary and coordinating the all-inclusive payment with James online was a breeze, and on the day we started the safari, James himself settled us in our private vehicle with our driver-guide, Jackson, put his business card in our hands, and told us he would call to check on us when we arrived in Mombasa: a promise he delivered on. Each one of our accommodations were fantastic, and our requests for twin beds and vegetarian food were easily met. And of course, we highly recommend our very experienced guide Jackson, who took such great care of us and made the experience in the parks flawless and memorable. Thanks to his expertise, we saw the most incredible wildlife and scenery well off the beaten path, away from the other noisier safari cars. He demonstrated such rich knowledge of the animals and patiently answered all our questions about the parks and the country...be sure to ask him about his bird field guidebook! Jackson was so observant and attentive to our safari interests, communicated well, delivered us safely to all our destinations, and amid all the beautiful spontaneous sightings in the parks, somehow we always stayed on schedule. I've already been telling family and friends to look up Wildlife Sun Safaris if they're ever in Kenya, and would definitely call on them again.

Very well organised, excelent guide.
We got high level of service from the beginning til the end of our tour. Fully met our expectation.
We received all necessary information each day - where we go, what kind of animals we can see, when is the best time for game drive.... Our driver recpected our request - stay longer on one place makin more photos.
Selected hotels were perfect and our guide helped us during the check in.
All our questions about animals and Kenya life were ansvered also during the way from park to park and to he final destintion in Mobasa.

Unforgettable family holiday in Kenya
I would like to thank James for organizing such a amazing safari for us.
The communication with James was great. He was very prompt and would answer any questions you may have. All the requests have been accommodated including booking our train tickets from Mombasa to Nairobi.
I arranged all the transport while we were in Kenya with James, so we felt very safe. I highly recommend to do so, especially in Nairobi. James even accompanied with us to Girrafe Centre and David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage.
We were fortunate to have Thoya as our driver/ guide for our safari trip. He has 18 years of experience and is knowledgeable. We saw so many animals!! We spent many hours on road and the road condition and traffic were terrible sometime, but we felt safe with Thoya’s driving.
We had a 10 seater 4x4 Toyota van with pop-up roof. The van looked a lot older than others we saw on the road but Thoya got us around safely for 10 days.
I was a bit worried about not having A/C in the van, however we only felt hot and uncomfortable when we were caught in a traffic in the town. This is what we chose.
Please do not hesitate to take your kids with you. Our kids had a fantastic time and I hope they will remember this trip forever. James offered me 50% off for my 11 years daughter which was a big saving for us. ( all other companies offered me only 25% off )
I would recommend Wildlife Sun Safaris to anybody who is planning a safari in Kenya.
A big THANK YOU to James and Thoya again for such a amazing experience!!

Fantastic unforgettable safari!
We have been delighted with a very well organised safari. The driver Toya has a great level of experience and knowledge. We have learned a lot from him and felt safe with his company. He took us to Ngutuni Lodge where we spent unforgettable time admiring night wildlife. Wildlife Sun Safaris are highly recommended!

James was brilliant from when I first contacted him and this level of competence continued
Amazing, awesome, terrific. Not one of these words can portray how I felt going on this safari with my family and James made my dream holiday a reality. When I asked a question by email to James he came back with a answer within a day at the latest. The price paid for the safari was very good and I would not hesitate in recommending wildlife sun safaris to anyone. If in doubt contact him as he will soon make you feel comfortable and very well looked after. The safari. Itself was fantastic and we were so pleased to have Mr Toya as our guide, he was a great driver, spotter of animals and we all came to regard him as our friend. We felt very safe throughout and the ladies we stopped at we're just perfect for us. We do want to go again on safari to and would not dream of using another company after having such a perfect experience with James and have our friend Mr Toya again as our fab guide. Don't put off contacting this company because they really do listen and make your every wish come true at a very very reasonable price.

Great variety of reserves and great driver.
James' communication was very clear, and he responded promptly. Payment was easy (PesaPal & cash). The safari itself was great. We stayed at Sopa Lodges. They were all good (varying quality) with good food. Our driver was great. He knew how to drive in a game reserve better than most of the other drivers. He got us closer than 10 feet to rhinos, lions, cheetahs, and zebras, something most of the other drivers didn't manage to do. Overall great experience.
