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.

Best tour company out there!
My experience with SunUp was amazing! First of, Chris was great with communicating to us and organising the trip. And then our guide Johnny was perfect with the tour and made sure we got to see each and every important animal in the Mara. Overall an unbelievable experience and I highly recommend SunUp adventures!!

Very professional and responsive company
Our driver Josh was well seasoned and knew all the parks we went to very well. It rained a lot which isn’t great for wildlife sightings and he still managed get us super close to a lion on our second day so I could get some amazing pictures!

Exceeded expectations
Our 4 Day Lake Nakuru-Masai Mara Safari private safari by SunUP Adventures was simply amazing. The communication with Chris was prompt and clear from the very beginning . There were some minor changes to the plan because of strong rains few days before our arrival but we were informed about them in advance and everything was communicated professionally. The safari itself was just simply amazing, we had a time of our lives. Besides that Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are true nature marvels our guide and driver Johny was perfect in means of knowledge and trip organization. BIG thanks to SunUP Adventures.

Prompt, friendly, informative and fun
We booked a tour at extremely short notice, the booking was handled in a friendly but profession manner. Chris and Robin arrived at the agreed time, and then with little fuss, off we went! Robin was an excellent guide, answering all our questions patiently and pointing out stuff of interest on the journey to Amboseli. Once there, his knowledge of flora and fauna was exceptional, and we managed, in just two Safari drives, to see pretty much all we wanted, including a cheetah and most impressively, a pride of lions with 8 cubs that passed within spitting distance of our vehicle, truly amazing. An excellent tour, fantastic guide, and one I would fully recommend to anyone. I certainly will be going back to them next time I am in Kenya.

Very nice and professional guide with a lot of knowledge. I don't see any reason why not book SunUp Adventures again!

Incredibly well-organised, beautiful hotels, very friendly & knowledgeable guide & all animals seen
Communication went very smoothly, starting from our first contact with Chris, who responded very quickly to all our questions. Payment was easy (either by bank transfer or credit card). Chris even helped us organise a car and driver for the weekend in Nairobi prior to going on Safari. We didn't have to worry about a single detail from the minute we were picked up to the minute we were dropped off.
We had a really great time on safari and saw absolutely everything. Many cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, and even a leopard. Spotting lions, leopards, and cheetahs is apparently easier in February as they are more likely to be out searching for prey (as opposed to during the migration) and indeed we saw many, many of these animals. I recommend doing Lake Nakuru in addition to Masai Mara as we were able to see many Rhinos there, compared to Masai Mara where there are fewer.
The hotels we stayed in (Sarova chain) were very nice and there was a large selection of food at the buffet: African, Indian, Italian, etc. Both hotels had a pool so we could relax during our lunch break in between game drives.
Our driver was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to ensure that we got a good view of the animals. For example we followed a pack of cheetahs along several routes and they crossed the road in front of our car 4 times! I recommend taking the landcruiser as it enabled us to take muddier roads to explore more remote parts of the park and get closer to the game.
All in all an amazing experience and nothing to fault them for!

Superb organization and service
English review\ По-русски ниже
Superb organization and really good price for the quality you get. Manager Chris he seems to never sleep :), he answers super fast.
The choice of hotels are perfect.
We had 5-days private middle-ranged safari (Amboseli-Naivasha-Masai Mara) with Sunup adventures.
The lodges were much more then mid-ranged, especially luxury camp Ilkeliani.
Also we strongly recommend our guide Surat, who really knows his job, the places where you can see animals and provide us a lot of information about them. He is the best!
At our way back home we had 11 hours between flight and Chris organized for us Giraffe center visit and safari to Nairobi national park :)
So, if you have any doubts about organisation of your first safari in Africa, choose Sunup Adventures and you will just enjoy your trip.
