We cannot recommend this company enough!
5/5

**The Safari Experience**
We did the 5-day adventurous camping safari in October, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience.

The camping aspect was fantastic! The first two nights felt more like glamping, with a campsite with amazing views and a lovely swimming pool. The next two days were more basic, but you really felt immersed in the Serengeti experience, especially hearing lions roar from inside the tent – an unforgettable thrill!

We also highly recommend the walking tour, where we set off with a ranger, and his rifle. Along the way, we encountered signs of recent animal activity and even spotted a giraffe by a watering hole. The ranger's relaxed demeanor helped put us entirely at ease.

**The Team**
Emma and Sarah were extremely helpful in coordinating our itinerary and guiding us through options to fit our preferences.

Our driver, Adam, picked us up from the hotel, and we collected Isaac, our chef, en route. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!

Adam was not only an excellent driver but also extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife. His knack for predicting animal movements meant we were always in the best possible spots for sightings, and he put in so much effort to help us see everything we could have hoped for.

Isaac was super friendly and an incredible chef, serving up some of the tastiest meals – we definitely gained a few pounds!

A special shout-out goes to the team behind the scenes! Following a minor incident with a monkey, I needed a series of anti-rabies vaccinations. Adam and Godfrey, the tour operator, went above and beyond to source the necessary treatment in some *very* remote areas. Their care and dedication were truly appreciated 🙏

**Community Support**
On top of providing amazing experiences, the company also donates a portion of their profits to a charity supporting women and girls in Maasai communities – a wonderful mission we were glad to support.

Excellent customer service offering the best trip ever
5/5

I have always wanted to go on Safari and decided I was not going to put it off any longer. This trip was a year and a half on the planning as I decided I would treat myself for my birthday , a very significant birthday. I did a lot of research and eventually decided to go with Sunset Adventure Safari because when I looked at the schedules they offered and the animals you were likely to see I thought they offered the best. Their reviews were fantastic.

I booked with them directly. In the early stages of my enquiries about the trip Anna and Emma were fantastic. They answered all my questions, put up with me making multiple changes to the trip, always polite and helpful. Their communication was clear.


Coming up to the departure time all arrangements were made regarding the various transfers and we were sent the information along with contact details for a named person should we have any difficulty. I should also mention Sarah who corresponded with me closer to the time we were due to leave. Like Anna and Emma, Sarah was just as helpful. 10 out of 10 stars to all for customer service.


In the end I booked a bespoke Safari package and 3 of my friends joined me on the trip. The whole trip was 17 days and the cost included a night in a hotel on the day of arrival, 10 day safari all meals and water and 5 nights in Zanzibar on a bed and breakfast basis, all transfers. Flights were not included. It was definitely value for money and I would definitely recommend this company. The experience we had was priceless


Our driver/Safari guide Sele was the most amazing, helpful, fun, kind person who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. We saw every animal that I had on my list and then some. If you book with this company and you get Sele as your guide you will definitely be in good hands. 


The various lodges and hotels we stayed in throughout the trip were lovely. Some nicer than others but all of a good standard.


The whole safari experience was amazing. I think the photos I and my friends captured will speak for themselves. When the Safari ended, I really was not ready for it to be over. 


If you are thinking of doing a Safari and you are looking at this company ... just book it, you will not regret it.


BEST TRIP EVER WITH SELE THE BEST GUIDE EVER. Thank you Sunset Adventure Safari and thank you Sele.

An unforgettable safari experience thanks to a professional and attentive team!
5/5

This safari was a unique experience that we will carry in our hearts forever!

But let's start from the beginning.
After careful consideration, we chose Sunset Safari Adventure because, from the very start, Emma’s proposal was the most detailed and full of options. She was truly attentive and available to ensure we had the best possible experience, meeting all our requests!

Our safari included visits to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, two days in the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
From the very start, Sele proved to be a careful, helpful, and extremely kind guide!
Throughout the entire safari, he accompanied us with great cheer, sharing lots of information about the environment, the animals, and their habits. Thanks to his professionalism, we managed to see all of the "Big Five". He is an excellent driver, and in addition to teaching us some Swahili words, he quickly learned many Italian phrases!

This trip exceeded all of our expectations!

A special thank you also goes to Frank, who picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to send our postcards!

Jambo!

Sunset Safaris? We'd give them all the stars in the galaxy! Right from the start, they sprinkled us with expert advice and crafted a custom itinerary, all without a hint of pressure. David was like a driving wizard, with a heart of gold, eagle eyes for spotting animals, and a knack for nature like no other! A once-in-a-lifetime- adventure, made even more fantastic thanks to Sunset Safaris. A top-notch-pick!

Superb safari, well organised and excellently guided
5/5

My wife and daughter and I chose Sunset Africa for a 7 day safari in Tanzania in August 2024. We were impressed by the organisation and presentation of the itinerary. Sele was an excellent guide - very knowledgable, kind and supportive and a pleasure to spend the week with. We loved the places we visited - Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. The accommodation and food were excellent throughout. Thoroughly recommend.

Our tour was beautifully organized, accommodating all of our wishes, and superbly led by our guide.
5/5

From the moment Adam picked us up late at night from the airport until he dropped us off 7 days later, our time was filled with such vivid impressions of the land, the wildlife, and the people that I could hardly sleep at night for all of the images running through my mind. We saw all of the "big 5" as well as so many other wonderful birds, reptiles, and mammals. In that week we had many visits with cheetahs, lions, leopards and two more cats up close, the serval and caracal cats. These last two are unusual enough that Adam said he had never seen all 5 cats in one week before. How lucky for us! Adam spotted birds far and near that we would certainly never have noticed on our own. He knew a lot of them and researched the ones he wasn't sure of, as we are both avid birders. Additionally, Adam is an excellent driver and we always felt safe!

I really appreciate the way Emma worked with us to find the right sort of safari for our particular interests. The lodges where we stayed were very comfortable and the dinners there were excellent. The staff people were helpful and very polite and welcoming everywhere we visited.

I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a marvelous safari experience.

Extremely competent and kind tour operator
5/5

My friend and I booked an 8 day private safari tour during the dry season in Tanzania and 1 day in Zanzibar. From start to finish we could not have wished for a more kind, patient (with all our numerous requests) and competent tour operator. Emma and Sarah were able to accommodate all our wishes. Email communication was prompt and easy.
When we arrived our guide Adam was waiting for us at the airport. Over the following 8 days he proved to be an absolute gem. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and esp all the birds (our passion) we saw. He often spotted animals way before we could discern anything. He was very kind, courteous and patient (bird/animal photography can be time consuming). He was also an excellent driver, we felt very safe. He kept his jeep in pristine condition (every day). He was also simply a veey nice person to be with.
I cannot praise him highly enough, he really made our vacation!
All the selected lodges turned out to be really great and comfy. The staff in each one was very welcoming and gracious. The food (buffet style) was really great.

Our one day in Zanzibar (Stonetown guided tour) was with an affiliated operator (Liz of Faith tours) was also very well organised and well worth doing. Here again our guide Juma was really great , providing us with lots details of the history of its people and buildings.

I can full- heartedly recommend Sunset Tours for anyone considering going on a Safari in Tanzania. Also a percentage of the fee goes towards supporting the education of Masai girls.
