Terrible! Fraudsters. Do not book!
I paid $5k for a safari to the Serengeti. They gave my money to a fake safari guide. He did take us but he was terrible. I've been on lots of safaris before so I know the quality of service that is normally provided. He knew nothing about the animals. He tried to take us away from an amazing hotel we booked and put us somewhere cheaper next door. He was angry when checking in and the hotel manager told us he was aggressive towards him. African Sunset travel pretended they cared but they didn't. They offered zero compensation. They are a fraudulent company do not book!
This company is currently bankrupt and will take your money and give you nothing!
We booked with African Sunsets for a 2020 tour of Namibia. We prepaid for lodge reservations, a vehicle and a guide. After we were in Namibia we found we had to pay for almost everything ourselves, with the promise that our expenses would be reimbursed before our trip was over. Reimbursement was delayed “for a few days”, them promised “ before we left the country”. Five months later we have never seen a penny of it. The worst of it was that the company stiffed our guide, who was the best guide we’ve ever had in a lifetime of travel.
We have been in contact with African Sunsets off and on since we returned home, with no response. I realize that Covid hurt the South African tour business badly, but this tour company was not honest with us about their financial condition and let us travel halfway around the world before we found out we still had another $4000 of debt to cover. Don’t book with them. They are not an honest agency.
