Extremely knowledgeable and loves the animals
I would highly recommend SunUp Adventures for a Safari. My guide, Stephen Maina, was a virtual encyclopedia of animal knowledge made the entire time a wonderful experience. You couldn't ask for a finer safari guide.

Perfect tour with a fantastic guide
Sunup adventures was recommended to us by some relatives and friends who are living in Kenya. They tailormade our trip according our whishes and budget and it was just perfect. Better than expected. Mainly due to a passionate guide who loves his country and of course Kenya is a marvellous place to visit and kenyans people are very kind. And in addition, no headache at all about car problems, booking reservation and so on. Tour organization was very professionnal. I highly recommend Sunup Adventures for a trip.

Wonderful time on a long awaited trip
Our trip was originally booked for 2020, however COVID changed things for everyone. We finally were able to make the trip this August and couldn't have been happier. SunUp did a great job with our original booking. They are flexible in customizing the published itineraries. For example, we wanted to stay in a tented camp when we visited Mara instead of a traditional lodge. We also requested an add on first day to visit Nairobi National park and have lunch at Carnivore restaurant (Definitely try the Dawa drink if you go there!). Communication was top notch throughout the entire process.
Speaking specifically about the Safari, it was fantastic. We saw all of the big 5 plus many more animals. In may instances the animals walked just mere feet away from the vehicle. It was amazing to see wildlife out in nature in a way that you never could in a zoo. Highlights of our Safari were actually seeing a Leopard (the most elusive of the big 5), watching two male giraffes fight, and watching a baby elephant nurse. Our driver/guide Surat was great. He is eagle eyed in finding animals and very knowledgeable of the various species. The trip was also very interesting because it happened during the presidential election. We had great conversations with Surat about the cultures of the country, the politics, government, conservation and many other topics. He has a real passion for his job, his country, and the wildlife.

Stephen Minah with Sunup was excellent!
My tour of Amboseli National Park was memorable in so many ways. Our tour guide, Stephen Minah was caring, knowledgeable, considerate and present to us throughout. He is a credit to Sunup and to the whole of Kenya. His perspective was: "Expect more of the visit," which was something I had not thought of in that way. I have no complaints of my visit whatsoever, and my expectations were met and exceeded. The tour was worth every penny we spent on it, the lodge accommodations quite luxurious and the whole experience memorable. I have come away with an even stronger regard for the urgent need to protect our environment and our planet because of Amboseli's protection of complex ecosystems of life. Thank you!

Wonderful family Christmas thanks to SunUp Adventures
We entrusted SunUp with the organization of our 7-day Safari in Amboseli and Masai Mara. The most sensitive aspect was the presence of two little girls of 5 and 8 years old. Everything was organized to the smallest detail and our driver Jack had a perfect knowledge of the territory, the fauna and the population, thanks to which we all learned a lot and the girls had a unique experience that they remember and talk about every day.
We are ready to organize more adventure trips with SunUp that we recommend to everyone for the seriousness, competence and reliability and, last but not least, the courtesy.

Fantastic safari experience with a fantastic tour operator!
Prior to visiting Kenya for safari, I had been corresponding with Chris since early 2020, but had to put plans on hold due to the pandemic. When it seemed safe to travel again, we picked up where we left off. I truly appreciate how flexible and patient Chris was during the entire process. He was always available to discuss various options and responded quickly to any inquiry I had. He worked to create a lovely safari experience tailored to my wants and needs.
I was a solo traveler and was lucky to have Surat as my guide. Surat was professional, kind, and courteous, and I always felt safe and cared for. He has so much love for and knowledge about the animals, and I learned so much during the safari. He also has a very keen eye and I am almost certain he could spot a needle in a haystack from 100 meters away as he has an uncanny ability for spotting wildlife.
All in all, I am blessed to have found Sunup Adventures. There are many companies to choose from but this one is truly the best.

It was a wonderful 10 day safari: landscapes, animals and shared experience of our guide Surat.
We went to Kenya with SunUp Adventures. We do not know Kenya or even the Safaris. It was a wonderful stay, the course well organized and the discoveries just magnificent. Thanks to Surat for taking us to all these magical places. This trip will remain one of the most beautiful of our lives.
Thank you very much Surat.
