James was enthusiastic, responsive, and passionate while helping me set up the tour arrangements
5/5

I was a solo female traveler making arrangements with James over WhatsApp only ~1-2 months before the trip. James was reassuring I'd be safe, have an incredible time with memories to last a lifetime, and be able to see plenty of animals. All were true :)
Be advised, when you book solo, you will be paired with other travelers, solo, couples, friends, etc. Most of the time they are nice people but on the off-chance that they are not, have patience, otherwise, pay for your own private safari! :)
Some highlights were seeing 4/5 of the 'big five' and seeing :
baboons mating, hyenas and lions feeding on buffalo, lions cuddling, elephants guarding their babies, a massive heard of buffalos, vultures perching & flying, and pumbas trotting around.
Interacting with locals at the neighboring Masai Mara village was also a highlight! Highly recommend immersing yourself in this experience, as it is truly memorable, heart-warming and eyeopening.
I booked a 5 day safari and saw 4 national parks. Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hells Gate (where we got to rent and ride bikes) were my favorites.
James gave me the passenger seat in the LandCruiser Jeep, which was such a comfortable car.
(Besides the Tour Guide, food and accommodations, you are largely paying for the vehicle since you are in it almost the majority of the safari, be it driving to & from national parks & accommodations or the game drives themselves. So I'm so glad we had a safe, comfortable & durable vehicle, especially during the African massages :D)
Johny was my tour guide and he was so forgiving while I was filming almost the entire experience. He was passionate about making sure that we had the best angles for photo/video capturing. He has superb driving skills -- (you couldn't pay me to drive in Kenya) -- and has the perfect personality and temperament for a guide.
When I got sick halfway through the trip, Johny drove me to a local clinic and stayed with me patiently & calmly while I was getting evaluated and we returned back to the accommodations. Huge 5 stars for that, I don't know what I would've done without him.
Johny was so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. It's so clear that it's fulfilling to him to be able to share the gift of safari with his clients and he is born to do this. There were never too many or stupid questions we could ask Johny.
The accommodations we stayed in were really great given that this was a more budget-friendly safari. I had my own room, bathroom (toilets with running water for those wondering), and a bed in every single accommodation. All of the beds had mosquito nets, too. And the staff were extremely friendly.
If you like snacks, I recommend packing bars, fruit & nuts/chips if you think you'll need them throughout the safari.
I'm so glad I chose to support locally, pay direct to James and support his business, and have this experience. There are lots of travel organizers out there and they're way more expensive because there's a middle man. Definitely consider supporting local if you have the option to because it's a sustainable type of tourism.
James & Johny are forever friends. ASANTE!! <3

A beautiful experience…
5/5

This was an amazing experience and I feel lucky and grateful to have experienced it. We saw so many beautiful animals and created memories that I hope will stay with me forever. James, our guide, was kind, patient, charming, easy-going, safe, and wonderful to be around. We laughed together and got so close to the animals while still feeling safe and secure. James is a wonderful guide and our safari was a truly beautiful one. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Highly recommend to book with Sunny creek! We had the best time, everything was well organised and Francis, our guide, gave us the best experience ever! I did budget safari but it didn't feel like it, the food and accommodations were great.

They provide excellent service
5/5

I travelled Masai Mara from 2nd March to 5th March with them. I got their contact number from You tube and met a guy named James. He assisted me throughout the tour even before reaching Naurobi. During the tour my guide was Johny a chilled guy. He is a very experienced guy. We are lucky to meet all of African big 5. We also experienced hunting in live. All were possible beacuse of Johny. Vehicle, accomodation, food all were very good and fulfilled my expectations. I highly recommend this tour operator.

Sunnycreek Safaris offers good safari tours at a sharp price
5/5

I did the 4 day safari tour to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The price was half of the quotes of some other agencies, yet the quality was very decent. My guide, James, did a great job keeping everybody in his Land Cruiser happy. Would definitely recommend.

I had a time in Masai Mara, James organized everything for us, he is very reliable and precise!
We stayed at Lenchada Tourist Camp, nice food and comfortable tents in a green environment. The safari at the park was amazing, James is very nice, a good dj and most of all an excellent drive, he got us to see bunch of animals and beautiful landscapes. I was very happy to support his young agency, highly recommended =)
