As a family holiday we will never forget.
5/5

Definitely a family holiday we will never forget. It was a bit stressful with all the testing but luckily all went well. When we arrived Sele was waiting for us at the airport and from that moment we could relax. We had a wonderful safari. Our kids are 8 and 11 years old and it was their first time in Africa. They were amazed by all the animals we saw. So many elephants, giraffes and zebras. We even saw a few lions with their cubs. At the end of the day the kids loved to take a swim at the lodges. The service was really good and each night the lodge was different. The 6 days were to short! Thank you Sunset Team for the amazing experience.

Fantastic experience
5/5

We did a 5 day camping safari and it was really fantastic. We loved our guide Ben, he showed us the best places to spot the animals. Sleeping in the parks was so adventurous. I thought it would be a bit scary bus i loved it. Highly recommended!

Very helpful touroperator!
5/5

We made a wonderful safari with Sunset Adventure Safaris. Their response was quick and all our questions were answered, and we had many questions because this was our first safari. Eventually we chose for a camping/lodge safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. We loved Migombani campsite near Lake Manyara! We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with guide Patrick. He has eagle eyes, we saw so many animals because of him! He also knows a lot, he is a driving encyclopedia! We definitely want to come back for another safari! Thank you very much Sunset Adventure Safaris!

We’ll be back!
5/5

We look back at an amazing safari. We had to shorten our trip because our flights had changed but nevertheless we had a great trip. Our guide Omari was very kind and he knew so much about the parks and animals. Our cook Isack was a master chef. His food was amazing and so much better than in the hotels. We enjoyed every day to the limit and we’ll make sure to come back in the near future to explore more of this beautiful country and friendly people.

Best value and great service but please check your transfers to avoid mistakes
5/5

We went on a private tour (2pax) with Sunset Africa in early Aug 2016. We used the 12-day package as a base and customized it.

We had a good experience liaising with the company. Godfrey the manager is very prompt in replying to emails. He also was upfront about the increase in cost due to the government's increase in taxes, and his increase was reasonable because he didn't apply the 18% on the entire cost of the package, which some other companies did.

For the safari part of the itinerary, we stayed in a mix of small hotels (in the city), lodges and tented camps (fully equipped with sink, toilet bowl and shower). All the meals that were stated in the itinerary were provided and all the pickups went smoothly, with the drivers waiting for us upon arrival. We did not have any dispute with the company at any point regarding what was included and what was not.

Our guide during the safari, Benedicto (Ben) was great. He really went out of his way to make sure that we spotted the big 5 (especially the rhino which was not easy to spot), and he never tried to slack off and end the game drives early even though he was clearly tired from a long day of driving. He is also a great conversationalist and very well informed! The vehicle used is a land cruiser with a roof that can be opened.

The experience in Zanzibar was also good, though I would suggest that unless you really like beach activities, you might not need to stay for that long at the beach hotel. We also arranged a spice tour and island tour on our own with a local company without problems.

The only word of caution I have is that you need to check your travel tickets and dates very carefully because we had some mistakes with ours. We got Sunset Africa to book our domestic flights as well as ferry tickets for us, and they booked the wrong date for one of the flights. Fortunately we spotted the mistake before we left for Tanzania so they could change it. Another slight hiccup was that when we got to Zanzibar, we found that the guide there did not know he was supposed to book the ferry tickets for us, so it was lucky that we happened to check with him so he could follow up on the necessary in time.

Overall, it has been a very good experience travelling with Sunset Africa. Their strength clearly lies in the wonderful safari guides they have and in organising the safari parts of the itinerary. They are also the best value for money that I have found. I would recommend Sunset Africa for mid-range luxury at reasonable prices.

5/5

It is with immense pleasure I let you know that we have enjoyed the trip to the fullest and had a very good time marveling the beauty of Ngorongoro and Tarangere parks and its wild life abundance.

Special thanks to Amani, our guide and Mr. Godfrey who took care of the whole arrangement and had the goodwill to meet us in person and made sure we were happy.

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!
