Sunnycreek Safaris offers a professional service of the highest quality.
From the beginning of my contact with Maureen at Sunnycreek Safaris I was put at ease. She responded quickly to my emails, and answered all of my questions. I travelled as a female by myself, and I can honestly recommend Sunnycreek Safaris to anyone who is considering traveling solo. You will be in safe hands, and experience Kenya and all that it has to offer to the full! Thank you for such an amazing experience!!! Charles, our guide was also extremely professional. He answered any questions we had of the wildlife or area, and he was accommodating of everyone who was on the safari. He is a very good driver and you will be in safe hands with him as your guide!

The experience of a lifetime, trustworthy and professional.
Our safari trip was amazing!
From the booking, Maureen was very attentive and assured us we would have vegan options available for all meals included in the tour.
For strict vegetarians, the breakfast on the camping site could be improved, for example, with an option of spreadable as peanut butter and a vegan pancake. The package lunch for the sexond day could be improved too, but we saw that they were making an effort to accommodate us and they came to ask us what could and could not be included in it, which we appreciate. Dinner on the camp-site itself and the meals on roadside restaurants and the hotel all had a decent amount of vegan options and everything was very tasty. We loved the Kenyan cuisine!
They picked us up at the hotel on time and after paying for the tour in the office, we met our fellow travellers and went off to Masai Mara. We had to wait a bit since one other guest was a bit late, but everything worked out well.
We stayed 2 nights at a tented camping site outside the park, near the Masai Village. The camp was really nice, organised, clean, secure and had very good food! We literally felt like going to an expedition into the wild (tip: bring a small paddock to lock your tent against local tree dwelling thief's, aka baboons.. They would run around in the camp in the mornings and eventually try to go inside the tents looking for food, which only added to the whole experience!)
Our driver and guide, Charles, was the best! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and very good at finding them in the savannah. We felt safe the whole time and had fun on the way too. It was definetely the adventure of a lifetime and the expectation of not knowing what animals we would find next was thrilling, when driving throught one of the more remote locations, we felt like on a Jurassic park movie (on the beginning of the movie, when all is going well... Hehe)
On our third day we drove to our hotel near Lake Nakuru. The hotel was very nice and also had very good food, and the game drive on the park the next morning was also amazing.
We were not sure about booking 3 or 4 days and in the end we loved having booked the 4th day at Lake Nakuru. The park is much smaller than Masai Mara, and has denser vegetation and higher trees, but we were lucky enough to get a much closer encounter with a family of white rhinos.
Also, Charles told us that because the water level of the lake has been rising lately, there are not as many flamingos as before, but there were a lot of them and we loved it nonetheless.
On the way to and back from the safari, we stopped for lunch and also on a giant gift shop with a huge variety of arts and crafts, prefect to bargain for that souvenir to take home.
In the end, we were dropped off at the airport on time and will definitely miss Kenya a lot.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were very professional and made sure we could enjoy the trip to this marvellous piece of preserved wild nature.
There are only two last things to point out: 1) on the safaribookings website, it was advertised 6-7 people per vehicle and we had 8 in ours. Everyone in the group was very nice and easy going, so we had a great time and, 2) the communication prior to the trip could have been a bit better, since we had our tour combined with another safari company who actually handled the payment, which per si is not a problem and Maureen was there on the day so we had no problems at all, but it would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Anyway, as they say there "hakuna matata", after such an unforgettable experience, we definitely recommend them for your safari on Kenya and also do ask if Charles is available to guide you, again, he was the best and made sure we had the best experience possible!

Great experience
Service was excellent! Kikutu was our driver and did an excellent job accommodating our family. He had to work with constant changes to the schedule because of other guests, but he handled it very well.

Incredible experience with Richard, the best tour guide ever!
I done the 4 day safari with Lake Nakuru - cannot describe how amazing an experience this was! I've seen so many wild animals, met some amazing locals and Masai Mara Tribe! I sat and watched a pride of lions eating a buffalo and huge parade of elephants playing doing their thing. It was so good for the soul - I highly recommend. Richard our guide went above and beyond to offer us the best experience, he drove for hours and hours with a big smile on telling us anecdote on different species of fauna and flora. Lake Nakuru was not as impressive as I thought but not the sunnycreek's fault - I think if I was to re-do it I would go for the Gates of Hell instead!

Excellent Experience
This was a great experience overall. I had a 3 night Safari of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and was split between 2 groups as I moved locations. This wasn’t an issue and both guides were great and I would recommend both (Kikitu and Richard). I saw lots of animals, met great people, ate authentic Kenyan cuisine and felt 100% comfortable alone and would recommend this to any of my friends looking for a fun Safari at a reasonable price.

Once in a lifetime experience
Great value for money! The most affordable safari I have ever seen. Maasai Mara is amazing, we saw TONS of different animals and our guide was an amazing driver. Paying a little extra for water and airport transports was very worth it! Made the whole experience simple and helpful. The tent accommodation was much nicer than I expected with bathrooms and showers and mosquito nets, only the others in the camp were very noisy. As a single female traveler, I enjoyed meeting other travelers on the group join trip, 100% would recommend!

Absolutely brilliant!!
Such a brilliant experience, it was all arranged with James over WhatsApp. He was such a gracious host and guide, from collecting us from the airport, the drive to Mara.
We stayed at the Enkorok Mara Camp which was brilliant, the staff were super friendly and attentive, the food was also excellent.
The actual tour was magical, James knew the pack very well and we got to see a lot of animals, in fact, on the very first day of the tour we saw a pride of lions!! We also got to visit a local Masai village which was very educational and eye opening.
Thank you James for an experience of a life time, the trip was definitely value for money.

Amazing 4-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
I recently had the pleasure of taking a 4-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Sunnycreek Safaris and I must say, it was amazing. The highlight of the trip, however, was our guide, Kikitu.
Kikitu was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He had a wealth of information about the wildlife and the ecosystem, and he was more than happy to share his knowledge with us throughout the safari. He was also very patient and accommodating, always making sure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Kikitu's passion for the wildlife was contagious, and his enthusiasm and excitement added to the overall experience. He was always eager to answer our questions, and his insights into the animals' behavior and habits made the safari so much more meaningful.
The safari itself was breathtaking. We saw so many animals, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and many more. The scenery was stunning, and the wildlife was beyond words. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I cannot recommend Kikitu and the safari excursion enough. If you are looking for an incredible adventure, with a knowledgeable and engaging guide, this is the trip for you. Thank you, Kikitu, for making this safari so special.

A Very experienced individual.
This experience was a great experience from start to finish. James communicational skills were great, from Nairobi he was explaining different sites to us.eg the trees/the area we were passing through etc. The tour is definitely value for money in the sense you get more than you expected. James was very competent and reliable. Even when we occurred a flat tyre in the game park. He was a true leader in which we all trusted him to fix the problem within a short time.

An amazing experience not to be missed
First time safari experience and sunnycreek did not disappoint. James was amazing, so kind and considerate. He knew the best places to spot any animal we wanted to see.
The tour is value for money and everything is well thought of from the stops for breaks , to the accommodation and everything else in between. James knows his stuff that’s for sure.
Please do not hesitate to book with Sunny Creek you won’t be disappointed.
