Excellent from start to finish, would book again without hesitation
Excellent tour operator that organized our 4 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari. Very friendly, quick and efficient communication with Chris (manager) and John (guide & driver). We were able to tailor the itinerary, accommodations and car to our likings. John did an excellent job with the driving (incl stops whenever and wherever we needed), game drives and showing us around. I would book again without hesitation.

Could not be better!
Everything about this trip was perfect! From booking, to the guide (John), to the accommodation, everything was smooth, comfortable and beyond any expectations imaginable.

Mt Kenya hike with SunUp was A+
I should have written this review sooner as the team at SunUp Adventures is A+. Chris has great communication and helped organise a fantastic hike on Mt Kenya. Richard was the guide, and Charles, Patrick and David made up the rest of the team. I’m a keen photographer, and they politely accommodated my frequent stops and requests to be out early or around dinner time. Richard is a very experienced guide and a smart guy - when he didn’t know the answer to a question he didn’t make up answers like I experienced with guides on safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. Richard impressed me. Charles cooked some good and nourishing food, and Patrick and David carried much of my stuff including photography equipment and I really appreciated that. I’m an experienced hiker and I work as a field ecologist and wildlife photographer in multiple countries, and as a solo hiker I had to have a guide for Mt Kenya but I’m glad I did and that I chose SunUp. I would like to return to do more trips with the SunUp team.
Cheers!

A very professional and well-run business, with excellent guides and vehicles
As wildlife photographers we wanted a private customised trip to the Masai Mara. I contacted 4 companies in Kenya for our safari and while all answered, most were only interested in selling their standard packages. Chris from Sunup Adventures repeatedly came back to me with ideas and took the time to understand what we wanted. The lodge he found us was perfect for our needs. The standard of their vehicles is very high and John the guide was excellent in positioning the vehicle for the correct photographic light.
We have no problem in recommending them to prospective travellers, and will be using them again in the future

Very pragmatic, knowledgeable and good communication
Was the best decision to go with SunUp Tours, very knowledgable, great information and seeing so many animals was just amazing. Of course there is also luck behind this. With Chris and John it was a huge pleasure. All was handled rapidly and to full expectation. Thank you

Great Tour, wonderful driver
We had a great tour with David. Chris, the organizer was forthcoming and easy to communicate with during the organization phase- we organized about 4 days in advance. David, our driver was very knowledgeable and lovely, we had a great time; We also felt very safe during the entire trip in terms of driving! Serena lodge as accomodation very much recommended, we would‘ve loved to stay 1-2 more nights there. The safari itself was also great, we were lucky to see lions hunting and pretty much every other animal as well; David said we were lucky and also just in the right season. Would definitely recommend

They are honest and professional, and send a very good tour guide for us
I had a last minute booking (for an Amboseli tour on the next day) with SunUp and the booking experience was quite pleasant. They were very honest and transparent about the price and was very patient when I go back and forth with my plans. They can customize our need and pick up us at Namanga border and sent us back to Nairobi after the safari. The tour guide they sent us was a very good guy too, they have a very very clean 4x4 Landcruiser vehicle. The tour guide listens to our need and was very friendly and professional. Very good experience with them.

Best experience I ever had
You haven’t truly experienced a safari until you’ve been to Africa, and if you do it with SunUp Adventures, it’s even better!
My boyfriend and I spent an amazing summer holiday in Kenya and decided to rely on SunUp Adventures. We reached out to Chris, who helped us refine the itinerary we wanted. Thanks to his professionalism, we had one of the best trips of our lives. We opted for a Land Rover jeep instead of other options, which enhanced our experience by providing a broader view during the game drives.
Our safari was a 4-day journey, and during this trip, Chris arranged beautiful accommodations for us. Every room, tent, and lodge felt like home, and the food was delightful! Communication with Chris was smooth and very reassuring. And last but not least, Chris provided us with one of the best drivers we’ve ever had: David! Our hero-driver made sure we experienced the safari in the best way possible. You could truly feel his passion for nature and his beautiful country.
David was always on point, sharing knowledge, tips, and interesting facts with us, which was truly magical! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We felt extremely comfortable, safe, and well taken care of.
Now that we’re back to our everyday lives, we still reminisce about this incredible journey from Nairobi to Watamu, passing through Amboseli (our favorite park) and continuing to Tsavo, which was majestic for its vast expanse, though a bit too wide if you want to see a lot of animals.
With our journey now complete, we wish we could go back in time to relive the same experiences we had a few weeks ago. And without a doubt, we would choose to do it all over again with SunUp Adventures!
