It was an amazing experience with SunnyCreek Safaris. Highly recommended.
5/5

It was an amazing experience witnessing wildlife in such close proximity. Special thanks to James Munyiri who made the process very smooth. Also, our guide Isaac was so patient and made sure we spotted all the big 5 on our 3 day game drive. It was so informative as he explained every animal's predator, food habits and behavioral traits. Overall it was a great experience with SunnyCreek Safaris. Highly recommended.

Amazing Safari expience with great guide and group
5/5

I had a truly great experience with Sunnycreek. Our guide Kikitu was a lot of fun, he gave us useful information during the safari and was determined to show us what we came for. We saw all kinds of animals and even did a little bush walk to see hippos.
Regarding accomodation, the tents were super clean, the food delicious and the staff really nice. I'd always do another safari with Sunnycreek!

Jimmy Thenyai - Friendly, polite, the sweetest, most caring, knowledgeable and funny guide ❤️❤️
5/5

So my friend and I booked a 5 day trip with Sunnycreek which comprised 2 days in Masai Mara, 2 in Amboseli and 1 in Naivasha. Every single request of ours, right from being picked up from our airbnb (in Nairobi city - self sponsored) was clearly understood and taken care of thoroughly. We were taken to the office to make the payments and were given a briefing. We met Jimmy there and he was with us throughout the trip. He is extremely knowledgeable and is very very very invested in ensuring that his clients are happy. On our second day in masai, our game drive had started at 6:30 A.M. and was scheduled to be a full day game drive of about 7 hours. Around noon, we still hadn’t spotted a lion and were beginning to lose hope and started feeling low. But Jimmy took it upon himself to ensure that we didn’t leave Masai without spotting the big 5. We saw a pride of 15 lions and even a rhino (which hadn’t been seen in over a month) and left the park, extremely content, at around 6:00 P.M. Jimmy had driven us around on really tough roads, through the nooks of Masai for close to 12 hours without any complaints but with a smile on his face. This is just one example of the extent that Jimmy went to, to bring smiles on our faces. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more and are extremely grateful for Jimmy because he made Kenya much more memorable. Thank you Sunnycreek and Jimmy ❤️❤️

Unforgettable Safari Experience
5/5

This was my first safari. I chose the 4 day safari through Masai Mara Reserve, Lake Naivasha, and Nakuru National Park in Kenya. I was on a tight budget and this one was reasonably priced. I was prepared for some roughing it due to the price. Dennoh (Dennis) was my local guide. He was an outstanding guide. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, their habitats, the Masai Mara culture, the Kenyan culture and an all around intelligent, trustworthy, dependable, kind person. And trust me...you want someone like this when you are going into the natural habitat of lions, leopards, elephants, etc.. He seemed to respect that we were in the natural habitat of these animals but at the same time went above and beyond to try to give us an unforgettable experience to see the big 5 animals and many many more, including birds, lizards, etc.. I can't name them all but we saw lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, hyenas, hippos, rhinos, jackals, ostriches, wildebeests, buffalo, crocodiles, impalas, baboons, monkeys, water bucks, flamingos, storks, herons, pelicans, eagles, etc.. all in their natural habitat. The photos I was able to take were incredible. The animals didn't seem to be bothered by us because there is so much space for them to roam around in there and so much respect from the guides. The guides seem to all work as a team to help each other in there, especially Dennis. He was zipping from one area of the park to the next when he heard on the radio there was a big 5 animal spotted somewhere. And Dennis stopped to help two vehicles that were stuck in the mud inside the Masai Mara reserve. Another advantage of having Dennis as your guide - he didn't get stuck in the mud once because he's an outstanding driver that knew his safari vehicle very well and kept it very well maintained.

There actually wasn't much roughing it. There was a lot of driving to get to the three different places but the food was amazing and the accommodations were fine. The first two nights were in tents beside Masai Mara Reserve. The tents were very comfortable with full size beds and a washroom with shower in each. The tent structures were solid with concrete floors and tent walls/roofs that were in good condition. There was a communal tent where a hot breakfast and dinner was served each day. There was a long line of phones charging in this tent while we ate our meals because it had lots of plugs and we used up our batteries taking so many incredible photos each day. The third night was in a luxury hotel near Nakuru National Park and on our way to this hotel Dennis gave us the option of a boat tour around Lake Naivasha where we saw more wildlife, especially hippos that were common there. This final hotel had a swimming pool, fitness room, lounge, and tavern. A delicious dinner and breakfast was served here before our final tour of Nakuru National Park. The tour of Nakuru National Park was only a half day, which was enough, and we stopped and had another delicious late afternoon lunch/dinner on the way back to Nairobi.

You won't find a better safari experience anywhere. You may pay more to have more luxury but in my opinion this was the best balance between luxury and price, and having the chance to spend time with such a good man and excellent Kenyan guide Dennis meant so much more to me than luxury. It's funny because I was hoping to meet new friends on this tour that I would keep in touch with back home but to be honest it's Dennis I will miss the most. I hope he keeps in touch and we stay friends. Thank you so much Dennis. I will never forget this.

James was an amazing guide! He chatted with me multiple times to curate a custom fit safari experience that fit me perfectly.

Thanks for the ultimate experience

Excellent safari, thanks!
5/5

Easy, fast and clear communication with Maureen for the schedule and the program. We did a five-day journey through Masai Mara, Nakuru and Lake Naivasha (boat ride and Hell's Gate). Our drive, Raheem, was also was excellent and took good care about us during the trip. He knows a lot about animals as well, we saw 4 out of 5 big (only shy leopard missing) and a lot more animals. During the trip everything was arranged and done as per the program. So, highly recommended and hope to see them soon!
