Amazing. Unforgettable. Can't wait to do it again.
5/5

We went on a 5 day safari with eastern sun last month and it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, I can't speak highly enough of this company and their employees. Mercy made the booking process so easy for me and was always quick to reply to emails. She gave me different options for our safari and allowed me to pick the one that best suited our budget. Their rates were also very reasonable compared to other operators I contacted. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, Mercy was in contact with us and gave us a thorough briefing of our safari. Our guide Eddie was AMAZING and incredibly knowledgeable of the parks and their animals. He was very patient with all of our questions (and we asked him a lot!). Eastern sun made the journey so easy and pleasant for us and of course the safari itself was unbelievable. I highly recommend eastern sun to anyone that may be interested in experiencing the greatness of Tanzania's parks. Asante Sana Mercy and Eddie!

5/5

We cannot speak highly enough of your company. From the initial planning, through to the actual trip, everyone was so helpful, offering help and advice all the way through. We had a fantastic time....thanks to your smooth arrangements. No hitches at all, & very good value as well.

My husband and I did a private Northern circuit safari with Eastern Sun last December. We had a truly amazing experience and would book with Eastern Sun again in a heart beat! Mercy, who runs the office is a great communicator and was very understanding and helpful when we had to reschedule our tour last minute because of surgery my husband needed. She was also quickly and patiently answered all of my questions about the tour and different parks. Our guide, Arib, was fantastic! One of the kinder men I've ever met, he was also incredibly knowledgable about the animals and parks and had a great sense of humor and way about him. These are important qualities for someone you'll be spending 7 days straight with to possess! The tour itself was perfect — we saw the big five and many more, experienced part of the wildebeast migration and loved all of the accommodations provided. The meals were also much better than we had expected and the tour was sensitive to some dietary restrictions I have. Overall it completely exceeded our expectations and was an A+ experience!

Eastern Sun is extremely professional and prompt. Excellent and educated guide, family friendly!
5/5

Eastern Sun was by far the most reposnsive safari company that I queried prior to making a decision. Thery were by far the most reposnsive. They continued to work with me through many iterations and changes based on what we wanted to see. Eastern Sun never pushed towards a particular accomodation and always provided the pros and cons with all options. There are so many options when building a safari itinerary and it is really about personal preference. Eastern Sun helped provide the level of detail we needed to build a perfect safari.

Unpon arriving to Tanzania the guide met us promptly and was extremely friendly. We had our 12 year old daughter. The sfari guide immediately bonded with our daughter to make her feel safe and get her really excited for the adventure. We had a pre safari briefing that allowed us the opportunity to plan our days and ask many questions. Eastern Sun did a great job building in safari driving, cultural excursions, and some flexible time to make changes on the go if requested.

Our guide was completely engaged throughout the 10 days. He had in depth knowledge of every park, animal, bird, culture, etc. The service and food were also wonderful. I cannot say enough about our wonderful guide and the experience. Eastern Sun management also met us at the end of our safari to make sure everything was performed to our expectations. They made sure we had all the documentation needed and saw us off to our return flights.

Eastern Sun did a wonderful job exceeding our high expectations!

We went with Eastern Sun Tours on a 6 day / 5 night camping safari. Why would anybody want to pay for accommodation above camping? Nothing was too much trouble and everything was catered for. Well done Simon and Mercy you have a fantastic team.
