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!

Amazing
If you want to have perfect safari just like you have imagined and even better go with Sunup Adventures.
Chris was really amazing during the entire process of deciding what we wanted and what was better during our stay in Kenya. He was always very responsive and comprehensive and made sure that everything was according to our plan. John was our guide and he was amazing since the first day. He tried really hard to make sure that we had the opportunity to spot everything that we wanted and even more. In 4 days, he managed us to see lots of action, including 3 leopards, cheetahs hunting, lions chasing cheetahs, lion cubs and even the incredible scarface.
We highly recommend sunup.

Safari tailored to our needs
We spent three days and two nights with SunUp Adventures. Specifically our trip was to do a safari in Amboseli NP. Communication was always prompt and Chris happily accommodated a change in dates after our return flight was rescheduled to a day earlier.
DAY 1: Met at our hotel by Chris and Robin. We made the trip from Nairobi to our accommodation and then did an afternoon/night safari.
DAY 2: Full day safari.
DAY 3: We opted for no safari but returned to Nairobi later in the day.
Overall SunUp fully met our expectations. The accommodation was nice, however drinks were expensive and its food was amongst the worst I've had anywhere. Safari vehicle was very comfortable.
Note about Amboseli NP: only three of the big five are there, but it's very good viewing for elephants (we saw two mating) and the backdrop of Kilimanjaro is phenomenal. Pay attention on the way to the park as we saw cheetahs about 1km outside official boundary (park is not fenced).

Couldn’t have chosen a better tour company.
My first trip to Africa, as such, wasn’t sure what to expect, having read many reviews can be confusing.
After having done an exhaustive online search for safaris in Kenya, I decided to go with Chris company “Sunup Adventures”. His follow ups right after requesting a quote gave me a sense of assurance. Making a 50% deposit to a company half way across the planet in a land you have never been to is something I rarely would do.
But I had nothing to worry, Chris and Josh arrived actually 30mins before pick up rendezvous, the van was clean and Josh my guide / driver was well dressed in a neat uniform.
I spent the following 5 days in a solo luxury safari. The hotels were great!
I was always treated like royalty.
Josh always made sure we arrived on time for the game drives, he was always very punctual to our early morning meet up times; super active on the radio and quick to move to make sure I did not miss the hard to find animals, which was very essential for me as a photographer.
Josh takes his job seriously, he made sure I had the best possible positions to take my pictures, and waited patiently until I was ready to continue.
Indeed a very pleasant person.
He brought me to a Maasai village where I got a great video documentary.
Got amazing pictures of the big five.
This trip was basically everything I expected and more.
I would without hesitation recommend Chris, Josh, Sunup Adventures.
At the same time I would like to thank them for providing me with such great service.
Great memories indeed.
Can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic Kenya experience with SunUp Adventures
Everything was smooth, from the first contact with Chris who gave us a lot of options to choose from and proper advice based on our preferences, to the extraordinary guide/driver/FRIEND! Johnny whose skills and knowledge were irreplaceable. Zebra Plains Mara Camp is a place to be if you want unspoiled touch with nature and with amazing Masai people. Thumbs up for SunUp Adventures!!!

Very professional, always going the extra mile, very personal service, extremely reasonable rates
My family was incredibly pleased with Chris and SunUP. Their attention to detail was superlative. They always were available and ready to address any problem or issue or question. The safari itself was fabulous. Our guide, Antony, was incredibly knowledgeable and always forward leaning to address our requests. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to have an extraordinary holiday in Kenya.

we had an incredible time with the tour operator,
My family have visited many places around the world, but our experience in Kenya during our 7days visit was the best. My children are always asking when we will visit again.A big thump up to Sunup adventures especially Chris who helped us plan for the safari and our driver Kenneth who ensured that our safety was not an option. We were lucky to see the big five for the first time and a lot of other wildlife and birds in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We will always recommend Sunup Adventure to our friends and families who always visit Kenya.
