James & Jimmy are really helpful in planning and executing the safari and communication is prompt.
All the accomodations are great.
Jimmy is super skilled as a driver on really difficult roads and his animal spotting skills are excellent along with information given about animals. All safaris start on time and are wonderfully and safely executed.
My only issue was with the food options at the camp in Amboseli. And the food given on budget safaris is less too. Carry snacks if you are a big water.

An enchanting experience that is relatively affordable and complete in one package.
SunnyCreeks provided my friend and I with an amazing experience that I truly recommend everyone should try out. They really made the most of the amount whilst not being too expensive. Everything was adequate and good for the price housing, food, safari car, everything! We went with Alex as our driver and guide and he did an amazing job at explaining and talking about all animals that we encountered. Alex really went out of his way to make sure each and every one of us had a good time and that I loved. We were able to spot all big 5. Though I have a few minor concerns over the whole experience.
1. I wish the tipping/fee culture was explained more adequately for someone who comes from a different culture tipping is not the norm however when visiting the masai mara village, then going over the river we were expected to tip, as well as pay a masai mara entrance fee which threw us offgaurd as I didn't expect to spend cash during. (thou the tipping wasn't a lot ~20-40$) I still would have appreciated an earlier headsup. I would have honestly preferred if the price of the package was increased to accommodate the tipping as I found it to be a negative part of my experience. As budget travelers we try to calculate everything involved and these unexpected fees do harm the experience.
2. The third day could have included more activities we visited the masai mara village (took around 2-3 hours) and travelled to the lake to check in. I really think we could have done a lot more in terms of visiting local attractions or just going around in the city or even a group entertainment activity. In the evenings there was a lot of emptiness we wished could have spent better.
3. I wish we were given more tips about pricing and tourism merchandise earlier. Just general tips that help when it comes to bargaining and discussing. We were cheated by the village people who guilt tripped us into purchasing mass produced items that were described as "unique and locally made" and paid 2-3x their usual prices. For many this might be the first thing we try in Kenya so general tips would be nice.
However, the above concerns still did not ruin the experience sunnycreeks is still an amazing provider and I would definitely come back with them again. Even before we landed in Nairobi Maureen made sure our itinerary was correct and that our airport pick up went smoothly. Sunnycreeks gave us nice recommendations of places to enter and spend time as our flights were in an awkward timing. and Maureen made sure our return to the airport went smoothly and even offered us rides to the airport on the way back.
Not going to get better than James Munyiri from Sunnycreek Safaris
Our family of 5 had the most amazing time together in Africa, thanks to James Munyiri from Sunnycreek Safaris. From the very start, James‘ consistent communication and attention to detail ensured that our trip to Kenya was meticulously planned. His expert knowledge, unwavering support, and exceptional service made the experience not just memorable, but truly extraordinary. We visited Nairobi National Park, Amboseli National Park, and Masai Mara National Reserve, where collectively we were able to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, baboons, monkeys, crocodiles, rhinos, hippos, leopards, cheetah, hyenas, and more - the list goes on! We have traveled the world, but this particular trip was beyond our expectations, and James and his assistant guide, Steve, were extraordinary in making sure everything ran smoothly. They were incredibly reliable and provided amazing value, making sure we felt supported every step of the way. Not only did they make our trip amazing, but they also became our friends. We cannot recommend James and Sunnycreek Safaris highly enough for an unforgettable and remarkable experience.
Professional and very friendly guide
Great trip to Masai Mara (4 days) with my guide Jimmy. Very friendly, smart and professional guide. Very good in speaking English. Had lots of fun with him. We saw all kind of animals. Even cheetahs on their successfull hunt.

Definitely worth it!
We had an amazing time in Kenya. Having a close encounter of the wild predators is very surreal. Our trip included Masai mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Hells gate and Amboseli. Stays were basic but hygienic and serves the purpose. Our guides Solomon and Johnny has good knowledge about wildlife and provided insights about it. James is friendly and helpful in organising the whole trip. Would definitely recommend Sunnycreek safaris.

Professional, on spot value for money
We recently had an unforgettable 4-day safari in Masai Mara with Sunnycreek Safaris, and it was an extraordinary experience. The wildlife was incredibly diverse, with both common species and rare creatures crossing our path, missing only the rhino although we were close.
Our guide, Solomon, truly made a difference. He took care of us in a thoughtful manner and created a secure atmosphere throughout the journey. From the car ride to and from Nairobi to the close encounters with the animals, Solomon demonstrated outstanding knowledge and respect.
Getting up close to the animals was a highlight. We could observe them in their natural habitat without disturbing them. Solomon balanced proximity with respect for their living space, making the entire experience even more memorable.
There are many skilled operators and guides, but if you want a guaranteed fantastic safari, look for sunnycreek and ask for Solomon. He will make your Masai Mara trip truly exceptional.
