Friendly, helpful, and responsive to our wishes!
We had a lovely safari experience with Sunset Adventure Safari. The tour operator, Emma, was very patient with our many questions and was very quick and clear to provide answers. She was always available through e-mail or WhatsApp to communicate with us. The tour guides were also very friendly and open to our suggestions for our safari experience. They did their very best to accommodate to our wishes. Both Emma and the tour guides were also very open and responsive to feedback. Some planning about the safari experience was unclear to us, but through talking with Emma and the guides, we got the planning straightened out. I suggest you ask about this at the start of your safari so the tour guides can fill you in on the details of the experience.
Overall we were provided with great service. The tour guides really worked hard to show us as much wildlife and scenery as possible, providing very interesting facts and information and answering all our questions. Every night they also set up all the tents for us (since we booked a camping safari). The cook also provided us delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, waking up very early to prepare it all! Some feedback I gave about the camping gear, was to provide extra protection for the mattresses - so as to reduce the dust they collected along the drive - and some pillows - as these were not provided. Again, Emma and the tour guides were very responsive to this feedback and assured us that they would look for solutions to provide comfortable camping gear.
I would say we got a great value for our money with Sunset Adventure Safari. The tour itself was amazing, with many unique scenes. The staff were open to our suggestions and proved their reliability towards those suggestions. I recommend booking with this company as everything went very smooth!

efficient
Our guide, Solomon, was very punctual and thanks to his guiding experience we were able to enjoy the sight of very rare animals, including lions and their cubs, cheetas and also their cubs and an amazing encounter with a leopard. The jeep was spacious, very comfortable and the game rides were unforgettable.
The lodges and the tents we had were also of very high standards, the food was excellent and served in copious quantities and all the accomodation staff was very welcoming.
However, we wouldn't recommend the "tree top canope walk" which was charged 30 USD per person and consisted in a 450m walk during which we saw a couple of monkeys (there are literally hundreds of them in the regular game ride happening in the national parc).

Posted on Oct 18, 2021Thank you so much for your review. We are happy to read you enjoyed the safari so much.
I just wanted to give feedback on the treetop walk. We don't offer this in our standard packages but at your request we have added this to the booking. Sorry to hear you were disappointed in this activity.
Kind regards, Sunset Adventure team

Safari January 2020
We’re happy we did this safari before Covid-19 happened. It was such an amazing experience. All communication before departure was well handled and everything was clearly explained to us. When our family arrived at Kilimanjaro airport we were picked up by Elemes and our kids immediately connected with him. We had a wonderful 6 day safari to Tarangirer, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongroro. The safari went smooth and Elemes really knew how to spot the animals. In Serengeti we got a flat tyre but luckily it did not take more than 30 minutes to fix it. What we loved the most was waking up at Rhino lodge while the zebras were just 20 meters away from us. After safari we spent another week on Zanzibar. I definitely recommend to add some relaxing days because safari can be quite exhausting, especially for kids. It was the perfect combination of bush and beach.

Very affordable Safari
Last year we booked a safari with Sunset Adventure and it was amazing. Safari in Tanzania is very expensive and we were looking for an affordable trip. We did a 5 day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We loved the lodges and our guide Ben was truly amazing! He was so much fun to be around and he knew lots of stories about the parks and animals. Thanks to Ben the safari was unforgettable.
Well planned
We used Sunset Africa for transport from Moushi to Mwanza (for a meeting) and back againg and everything went well

We cannot recommend this company enough!
**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
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!
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!

Highly recommend Safari Tour
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!
