Reviews
Sunworld is just THE BEST Safari Company!!! User-friendly and knowledgeable to the max!
We have traveled twice with Sunworld, 2014 and 2017, and have found nothing but expertise, sound guidance, willingness to help design marvelous Safaris, all while still allowing for spontaneity of Itinerary changes. We feel so fortunate to have found this Safari Company, and we would not travel except with them! An extra perk - we have made wonderful new friends from the Head of the Company, to the Agents, and incredible Guides! Thank You Sunworld!!!!

We loved it ..!!
I would like to thank you for all your effort for organising our safari and making it a memorable one. We LOVED it, and Tawi is just beautiful, their service was excellent, food was amazing and both Peter and Allison, the managers made our stay very comfortable, our room was the furthest from the main area, but cant complain as one of the mornings we spotted 4 cheetahs right outside our tent and it was just a wow moment, the view of Mt Kilimanjaro was breath-taking as one full day it was clear skys and we spend all day just admiring the beautiful mountain that is known for its shyness

Top People, Top Company, Top Experience!
From start to finish, the whole experience was simply sublime!
I accidentally got in contact to look for transport from Nairobi to one of the parks. Kenya had recently gone into lockdown and information was patchy at best as to what we could and couldn't do. I called Sunworld Safaris...
I had the pleasure of connecting with Jonina who from the get-go was epically helpful. She knew of the local situation and was able to advise with great accuracy.
It lead to her kindly suggesting a number of spots we could access and lodges we could stay at with special passes that Sunworld would organize with the local government on our behalf.
The recommendations were brilliant and competitive, so we ended up with a car for the week and headed to the main stay at Sanctuary Olonana in the Maasai with legend driver and guide Newton Kongo who was so much more!
In life, we only (ideally) get engaged once! @Sunworld Safaris, you were a big part of that day and it shall be remembered forever!
Thank you Jonina - may your professionalism carry Sunworld Safaris even further!
Thank you Newton - a superstar you are and we'll see you in 15 years with the kids! We go back to Frédéric's Nakubali! :-)
Asante Sana!

4x4 Camper Rental - Excellent !
I rented a 4x4 camper Land Cruiser from Sunworld Safari for a 2 week self drive trip around Kenya. I often rent 4x4 campers all around the world. This Land Cruiser that we got was one of the best we ever rented: very well equipped and in very good condition. Everything was very well organised.

The best safari company in East Africa.
Sunworld Safaris is a full service safari company. They offer full-service safaris utilizing lodges all over East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda). In Kenya, they also offer mobile-tented safaris. I have been on multiple safaris with them in Kenya and they have the most knowledgable guides/drivers as well as helpful support staff. Their attention and focus on conservation is very important to me.

Sunworld exceeded expectations
A lot of research went into planning and selecting Sunworld. I started with 10 companies, narrowed it down to 5 and got quotes. Then narrowed it down to 2 and let my son decide. He chose Sunworld because of the water bottles - he liked the green aspect. I'm so glad that he did.
Everything from beginning to end that was handled by Sunworld Safaris was excellent. This trip had been planned for 2020 but the world fell apart. No problem, Sunworld easily accommodated the change and Carolyn was so responsive and helpful when the airline changed our plans during a layover.
Sunworld definitely made us feel cared for. Every hand over was personalized. We were never made to feel like we were on our own and needed to figure it out. The communications were clear and detailed.
Sunworld booked every accommodation except the last and the places were superb. From the convenient Sheraton at the airport to every single camp. My son and I were convinced that we got special attention at each camp. When we mentioned this to Julius, he said it was probably because of the popularity of Sunworld.
Our first glamp camp (Kibo in Amboselli) faced Mt. Killi - and the clouds cleared up on our first day so that we saw the top. Our next one (Sarova Lion Hill in Nakuru) had the best food. Everything was so delicious - I ate so much more than my share. Our last camp (Mara Bush Camp ) was amazing. From the hippos that made noise all night to the monkeys that fought in the trees each morning. Everywhere we went the service level was top notch. We were spoiled and we learned to enjoy.
Julius - our guide, driver and new family member. He was extraordinary. An encyclopedia of the country, the camps and the animals. This was a private tour, so we were able to make pits stops including the grocery store (I love what a grocery store says about people). We noticed how happy other drivers were to see him and we completely understood why. He was engaging, funny, smart and just a joy. He made sure that we saw the BIG 5. The long drives were a pleasure due to his company.
I was just looking forward to spending time with my adult son (who lives 3,00 miles from me). The experience provided by Sunworld completely enhanced it. We've already convinced family members to go back with us in two years and Sunworld is the only company I will consider.

A stellar experience with a great company.
This was my third trip to Africa that I have taken and Sunworld was outstanding. Due to Covid the trip had to be postponed from 2020 to 2021. During the delay Sunworld keep me informed of everything going on in Kenya and what it would mean for the trip. The service could not have been better. The experience we received was well worth the money and the company was very reliable in meeting all of our expectations. The tour itself was great. The Sunworld guides are what make their safaris so special.

Perfect!
We took a 3 days roadtrip to Massai Mara.
Everything was smooth and perfect! Starting from the sales representative to the drier to the team at the camp.
The driver was driving well and one felt secure on the road. He took us on 4 game drives and he was very knowleable about the Mara and her animals.
The camp team was very attentive, friendly and ever ready to take care of us. The food was very good and served under the trees in the open, a unique experience. Our two-year old was looked after so nice and well, it was a pleasure.
The place was very clean and neat!
Ingenral: every cent was worth it!

Great service!
We stayed at Mara Bush Camp - Private Wing in January for two nights and booked a Day Trip to Lake Nakuru with Sunworld Safaris.
The Service was absolutely great! Our driver and guide Jackson made it possible for us to see the "Big Five". Thanks a lof for this lifetime-adventure!
