Fantastic last minute safari in the Mara
We decided whilst on our honeymoon in Kenya that we wanted to do a safari in the Mara, James at Wildlife Sun Safari’s was very highly recommended to us and I can fully understand why. We wanted to head to the Mara in 4 days time and because James was so quick at sorting this for us it meant that we were able to get the last 2 seats on the flight.
Due to the planes that take you to the Mara being so small there are weight restrictions on luggage, this meant we were unable to take our main suitcases, James was brilliant with sorting this out for us and arranged for our suitcases to fly to Nairobi with us (We had to pick up some passengers from Nairobi on the way to the Mara), our suitcases were then stored at the airport ready for us to collect after our Safari.
We were given 3 options of where to stay, we chose ‘The Fig Tree’, it was a really friendly and welcoming camp in the Mara. We had a fantastic guide and driver and were also lucky enough to have a safari truck to ourselves.
When we left the Mara we were heading to Nairobi to carry on our honeymoon, James surprised us by meeting us at the airport and had already collected our large suitcases for us.
I cannot recommend James or Wildlife Sun Safari’s enough, he was brilliant from the beginning right through to the end of our trip.
We are hoping that we will be able to return to Kenya in the near future and will not hesitate to contact James to help us organise our trip.

Amazing, well organized and comfortable
We took the safari with Wild Life Sun Safari a couple months ago. Our first trip to Africa as such we didnt know what to expect, how safe it would be etc. James and his team were well organized. James even picked us up at the airport the first night. Made us not worry about being in an unknown place. All our guides were really nice and knowledgeable. They did a very good job at sighting wildlife to make sure we got to see most of the predators. The hotels that were picked were fantastic as well. The guides were flexible with our needs. they even took us for our shopping needs on our last day for special gifts back (we did not want the typical souvenirs and so they took us to special place where they hand make beads and jewellery in Nairobi). The trip was planned out in detail and well thought through
We did have some issues with our vehicle on the Tanzania side where James's partners run the business. The terrain is pretty rough on cars and they can break down easily. But the vehicle they had in Tanzania was pretty old and beat up just increasing its chance of break down. and it did break down. But the our guide was very resourceful and got us into another vehicle to go back across the border. So all in all it worked out great. but this could be avoided if they use better vehicles. In James's interest to make sure your partner on Tanzania side keeps up with your high standards.
My overall assessment will be we could not have asked for a better experience and really were glad to have gone with Wild life sun safari. They are the best and we recommend them to anyone looking for safari in Kenya.

It was a great experience in my life. I had the right decision when I get out the busy work to coming Safari Masai mara and Nakuru with family together. it made me get back to myself and closeness to nature. Thanks Wildlifesunsafaris, particular "Mr. Jame, guide tour and Mr. Thoye, driver" have supported us throughout our journey.

...wonderful experience!!
My husband and I booked 4days safari Tsavo East and Taita Hills with Wildlife Sun Safaris while in Kenya and had a wonderful experience. Everything was very well organizes.The driver/guide Thoya was friendly and nice.
We enjoyed the game drives and he was the first to spot the BIG FOUR and had a very good eye sight.
We stayed 2 overnight at Galdessa /1 overnight at Saltlick Lodge and loved the food and the local people.
I highly recommed the company for making our safari a memorable life experience.

Fantastic - an extraordinary once in a lifetime experience
My family just had our two week Kenya and Tanzania safari. It is such a wonderful experience that we are continuing sharing the trip every day with our friends and colleagues. Our safari organizer Wildlife Sun Safaris (www.wildlifesunsafaris.com) is so good that everything is great. The meticulous itinerary design, the valuable trip advice, the prompt communications, the various services provided to us (for example, one of the luggages was delayed arriving Nairobi and James offered help without hesitation to pick it up from airport next day at 6am), the list goes on and on. We are extremely grateful for all the services and help provided by James and his team for this safari. Our drivers, tour guides and cooks Thoya, Jimmy, Ali, Casey and Jackson are great gentlemen. Not only do they know their job well, they are very considerate and polite. With their expertise and help, we have seen lots of animals including over 50 lions with even a scene four lions killing a buffalo, 10+ cheetahs, leopard, black and white rhinos, hippos, hyenas, numerous elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, all kinds of gazelles, birds, flamingos and our beloved Hakuna Matata warthogs. We'd also like to thank Thoya and Jimmy for sharing their family stories, their job experiences and their hopes at the end of a safari day - It helped us learn about the culture, local economy and ordinary people's life. Thank you Thoya, Jimmy, Ali, Casey and Jackson! Thank you James and your team!

An unforgettable experience for me. I celebrated a special birthday during this safari.
This safari was from the start (already when booking) until the end (return to the hotel at coast) only excellent.
Ben, our driver, is not only a really experienced driver on the streets, also when driving in the parks he knew exactly where to go to see the animals we were waiting for. The lodges were nice, clean and the food was tasty. Al in all everything is only recommandable!!
Incredible safari experience
We had a very nice experience in kenya. James answers promptly any request, is open minded and gave us good offer. Our driver, maxwell, is an awsome guy, perfect guide, very experienced and loves the game drives. We saw much more than actually expected. The lodges were beautiful, lake naivasha country club had the best food, lake nakuru lodge had the best view, massai mara sopa had incredible staff

Safari Trip to Amboseli & Mara
We contacted James Mwalata of WildLife Sun Safaris thru KATO. Right from day one, James has been very helpful in guiding us on several aspects of Safari. He suggested various options and provided the best price.
Our Tour Guide Mr. Henry - is an excellent person and very knowledgeable about the entire area. He provided insight into widlife and we were able to spot quite a few animals right from the time we entered parks. Except for Rhino, we saw all animals to our satisfaction. Many thanks to Henry.
There are many inquires from friends and relatives for the trip to Kenya and i would recommend WildLife Sun Safaris - without any second thought.
Once again many thanks James & Henry

Excellent Safari Experience
My son and I enjoyed a 4 day safari with Wildlife Sun Safaris. I posted a request on the Kato website asking for a safari from Nairobi to the coast. James responded with some suggested itineraries, after a couple more emails we decided to visited Amobseli National Park and Tsavo East National Park. James met us in Nairobi and introduced us to Jackson, our driver/guide who drove us from Nairobi, through the parks, and dropped us off in Diani Beach four days later. Jackson was hardworking and tireless, he is a great game spotter as well as driver and he made sure we saw a lot of animals and took hundreds of photos. We stayed in the Sentrim camp outside of Amboseli and the Sentrim camp inside Tsavo East. Both camps were very comfortable and the staff were friendly.
