Friendly and efficient service - amazing trip!
We contacted Sun Safaris just 3 weeks before we wanted to leave on our honeymoon. Michelle was incredibly helpful, listened to what we were looking for and helped us come up with a trip within budget with excellent places that still had availability. Her recommendations for little extras to book like a boat trip on the first day were spot on. The whole trip was very easy to book and exactly what we were hoping for. Michelle usually responded within 24 hours of each email sent (often sooner). I would definite trust sunsafaris in booking us any future trips.

Fantastic; The lodge, transportation, and logistics, were flawless.
I could not have asked for a better company to use. Natasha quickly and patiently answered all my questions and helped when we had an unexpected flight cancellation. I would highly recommend Sun Safaris.

Brilliant service from Sun Safaris for much needed bush break
From the word "go" Janelle offered excellent and professional help when planning our 30th wedding anniversary. We chose Jackalberry Lodge within Thornybush Game Reserve. Everything about our safari and stay was excellent - from the lovely Honeymoon Suite (with bubbly on ice), beautifully decorated Lodge, delicious food, friendly staff and very knowledgeable tracker and ranger, and off course the African Bush.
I can highly recommend using Sun Safaris to plan your dream holiday!!
Amazing Experience
Natasha did a great job curating a trip that met all of our requests, requirements and wishes. Everything was well planned, and the accommodations were excellent, especially the Simbavati River Lodge and Elephant Camp!
Other than the trip being fantastic, Natasha was a pleasure to work with. She always followed up and nothing ever seemed to be too much.

Natasha was amazing to work with; all her suggested accomodations and tours were great!
Natasha arranged perfect accomodation for us - Lawhill Luxury Apartments in Cape Town; Simbavati River Lodge in Timbavati and Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls. The internal flights and transportation were on time and exactly per the itinerary.
Natasha responded promptly to all our emails and calls during the year that we planned the trip.
Our group was more than impressed with the accomodations and safari experiences and tours that she arranged.

Trip of a Lifetime Perfectly Arranged and Scheduled
Sun Safaris communicated well throughout the entire process. The selected recommendation for all three lodges was excellent, all different from the other. At Chacma, we saw the big 5 with an expert seasoned guide and bird expert, even a leopard in pursuit of an impala. Our evening safaris were lovely with a special viewing of a white rhino and enjoyable sundowner drinks. At Nottens in Sabi Sands, we had close-up views of lions, wild dogs, hyena, black rhino, zebras and many, many birds. Our guide, also a bird expert, helped us identify our many pictures. The Chundukwa lodge in Zambia was completely different in a very special way: the hosts were very friendly and courteous and we were able to have a traditional Zambian meal, including washing hands ceremony. They also offered sunset river cruises and horse rides, all included. The trip to Chobe was special, but the very best part of this lodge was the proximity to helicopter rides over and a wild rafting trip in Victoria Falls. We had the time of our lives--unforgettable moments with seeing animals in their natural state and being with such gracious and interesting people. This trip, one of our bucket lists, not only surpassed expectations, but created memories and excitement about the beauty of the land and people in South Africa, Kruger Park, and Zambia and Botswana.

Exceeded Our Expectations In Every Way
My wife and I recently completed a two-week trip to South Africa, including two safaris, Cape Town and the wine country, and we were absolutely delighted with both the itinerary that Janelle created for us as well as the amazing customer service throughout the process from her and the Sun Safaris team. Every aspect of the vacation was first-rate, from the flow of the trip to the accommodations to the seamless transfers between each leg of our travels. This was the most ambitious itinerary that we have ever taken, and yet, thanks to Sun Safaris, was the least stressful. This company is incredibly good at anticipating the needs of its customers as well as being incredibly responsive every step of the way. I whole-heartedly recommend Sun Safaris for any one who wants to make sure that a trip of a lifetime to South Africa lives up to its potential. We will definitely come back to this incredible part of the world, and definitely use Sun Safaris to plan it when we do.

First class, extremely knowledgable and helpful.
Over the years we have been on Safari in Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia, in large and small lodges. Our experience told us that we wanted a small safari lodge, close to water, a rustic lodge with modern conveniences. Michelle recommended Mapula Lodge. In fact Mapula Lodge exceeded our expectations! It had everything we wanted, and more. Excellent game drives with a very experienced and knowledgeable guide (Chaba), a fascinating mokoro trip with an expert guide, first class food and accommodation, and very friendly, interesting and helpful hosts, particularly Nono and BK who lunched and dined with us every day and taught us a lot about Botswana, all in a beautiful, rustic setting. Can we say more?
