Superb safari, well organised and excellently guided
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.
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
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.

the safari experience was exciting.
Our guide Elemes was fantastic, always punctual and always available, he always satisfied our requests and always tried to make us experience the safari in the best possible way.
We returned to Italy happy with our holiday in Tanzania and convinced that we were lucky to have had the guide Elemes.
Thanks for everything

Amazing Safari!
We had an amazing time in Tanzania and owe the success a lot to Sunset Adventure Safari.
We had a very good 5 days safari organized by Emma & Anna. The communication and organization were perfect; we were able to tailor our itinerary and Emma & Anna made sure we saw everything we wanted to see at a reasonable path as we were traveling with 2 children.
The game drives in Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti were spectacular! Our driver Adam was friendly, reliable, flexible and drove very safely. He was also very knowledgeable and thanks to him, we were able to spot all the animals we wanted to see.
All the accommodations we stayed in were beautiful with friendly staff and delicious food.
Asante sana Emma, Anna and Adam! You made our first safari a very special time!

Making dreams come true
Thanks to the whole Sunset Adventure Safari team for making my dream a reality! Our family has made new memories to last a lifetime. So many unique and beautiful experiences while on safari. Given our timing, we got to see so many baby animals, including lion, cubs, elephants, hippos, baboons, etc. The lodges were all lovely and so fun to be staying in the park- seeing zebras, giraffes, jackals, and buffalo on the properties right outside our door. Our guide, Elemes, was particularly amazing taking us off the beaten path for some very special and intimate moments with the animals. He was always on time to pick us up and even when he didn't need to get up for our balloon safari he did anyway just to make sure we got off okay. He worked hard to ensure we were able to view the animals from the best vantage points and was an amazing spotter. Asante sana Elly!
All the drivers were on time and each segment of the tour was without incident. Given the various handoffs that take place along the way it was an impressive operation! Zanzibar made for a relaxing ending - enjoying time in the ocean and a side trip to see the turtles. Thank you for a truly magical adventure!

A truly unforgettable experience!! 🤩
The safari tour organized by Sunset Adventure is by far one of the best and most exciting experiences we have ever had!
We knew it would be a fun and unique trip, but our expectations were definitely exceeded.
The national parks we visited were Arusha NP, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, while the last day we visited the villages of 2 local indigenous tribes near Lake Eyasi.
Our guide MARK was THE BEST!!! 😃 You can tell he loves his job and puts a lot of passion in what he does. He was always perfectly on time, very kind, respectful, helpful, patient, friendly and ready to answer all of our questions. He gave us lots of information on the surroundings, the wildlife, the animals and their habits, local culture and fun facts on everything we were seeing. He's an expert guide and he could spot animals from miles away, to then drive us really close in order to observe them at just a few meters' distance. At each sighting Mark knew exactly where to stop so we could get the best view, knowing in which directions the animals would move: they would often walk right towards us and come really really close to our vehicle!
Mark really did his best to find and show us all the wildlife we were wishing to see, and he definitely succeeded! We never would have expected to see all of the following animals, and almost all of them were really close up 🤩😍😃: lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, warthogs, jackals, vultures, eagles, wild cats, mongoose, ostriches, numerous species of antilopes and gazzelles, waterbucks, flamingoes, many types of exotic birds, baboons, many species of monkeys, wildebeests, etc.
Many of the animals had babies or cubs, and the most touching and exciting sighting of all was a mother cheetah who had just killed an antilope and was letting her little cub eat it 😍
The vehicle was fully equipped with a pop-up roof, water bottles, charging sockets, radio communication, books for wildlife identification, many pockets, 2 spare tires (one of which we used) and really fun to ride on.
All the lodges we stayed in were really nice and comfortable, and the 3 nights we spent in the tented camps in the national parks were thrilling, with the nocturnal wildlife noises adding to the excitement. Each day we were given breakfast, an abundant pack lunch and dinner.
Overall we had an awesome time and we're extremely satisfied. We just left and we're already missing everything!
We highly recommend Sunset Adventure Safari, you won't be disappointed 👍🏻

Excellent, our booking was easy, the pre-information packet was timely and thorough.
Sunset Adventure Safari - deserves its top rating!
We, a group of four, thoroughly enjoyed our 14-day Northern Parks safari tour in Tanzania combined with a holiday on Zanzibar Island.
From the moment we arrived, we were cared for and watched over for our every need.
Everything was well organized, communication was easy: Emma and Anna promptly answered all our questions via email and WhatsApp.
I cannot say enough about our experience with the company.
Special shout out to our guide, Sele! One of the best!! We saw everything we expected to see, including the Big Five and much more thanks to Sele.
We enjoyed his company very much. He was very professional and knowledgeable, a careful driver.
Friendly and calm, with a great sense of humor, very sociable, always smiling. He saw the savannah well and found animals and birds that we would never have noticed.
In the morning the car was always clean and ready to go. He even stayed at the airport to ensure we were on our way to Zanzibar.
The accommodations were all fabulous and the food was great. Drinking water was always provided both by the driver and in the lodges. Our favorites - Heart and Soul Lodge and Ngorongoro Wild Camp. We wish to stay a little longer!
The transfer from Arusha to Zanzibar was also well organized. Dhaw Resort resort is small and cozy, very clean, and right on the beach so we could enjoy the ocean view from the bar :). This was a great place for us to relax before long flights home.
Thank you to the entire Sunset Adventure staff that made our safari an experience of a lifetime!!
