Natasha at Sun Safari's always books us the best camps and locations for incredible experiences!
I have been using Sun Safari's services for the last 10 years and I would not use any other company to book with. I have family still in South Africa and visit as often as I can and always add 2-3 private game reserves to each trip. The trip we just did was the best to date for our family of 5. We stayed at Umkumbe and Tangala this time and saw everything and then some more. In all my trips the leopard has always eluded me and this time we had lots of sightings in both camps, super special. I find staying 2-3 nights in each camp gives a more varied experience in both camps, camp culture and a chance to see different game, especially in the reserves backing onto Kruger. I can't wait to book my next trip...

Sun Safaris is the best
We've been working with Natasha for a number of years, and she has been the best as far as organizing our trip, and finding excellent lodges at which to stay. Natasha is so detail oriented and so quick in getting responses from the lodges! When we have special occasions, Natasha ensures that the lodges know, and they often celebrate these special occasions with fun ideas. When we book our next safari, we'll choose Sun Safaris--always so pleased with their ideas for lodges.
As for the lodges, we booked Shimungwe with Lucan again as he is an amazing ranger. He's very knowledgable! The food as always is delicious and the staff so nice. I love that they have rusks and wonderful vanilla-tasting cookies in the room!
Inyati was our favorite. The lodge celebrated my birthday with rose petals on my bed, and a lovely bottle of champagne waiting after dinner!! That was so special! Omega was a terrific ranger--so fun and funny! Joel was a great spotter. We saw so many animals including a leopard w a 3 wk old cub and a leopard taking a kill up a tree! We were fortunate to see a herd of 300+ buffalo, and several lion kills. I had dropped my glasses on the ground while the buffalo were splashing around and walking through the mud. Can't believe that Omega and Joel found them and only a bit of mud on them--no scratches! The lodge was so open and the rooms were great. I had a view of the river which was fantastic. When we return, we will request Omega....we had such a great time with him.
Thabamati was really nice again...the tents are so luxurious and comfortable with individual decks that overlook the watering hole. The staff is just so hospitable and nice! They had a wonderful breakfast in the bush for us--so nice! Like last year, Thabamati's food is just incredible. The chefs really know how to cook for my vegetarian diet.
We will always turn to Sun Safaris when we book our trips to SA!

Epic Trip! Sun Safaris facilitated a trip of a lifetime for our group of four.
'Epic Safari trip'. Sun Safaris ( Brett Thompson ) worked with us to create a 30 day trip to South Africa that covered Cape Town, Wine Country, and Whale watching before we went on Safari. Next came a flight to Botswana , one camp in the Okavango Delta and another camp at Chobe National Park. Then off to Victoria Falls for two days.
The next phase took us to the Kruger National Park area and three more camps, finishing in the Sabi Sand. Each camp was unique and provided first class accommodation, food, and service, The guides were outstanding and each went out of their way to take us to see the animals.
After the Safaris we went for some relaxing beach time in Mozambique.
Flawless execution on every aspect of our 'Epic trip'. Thank you Sun Safaris and Brett Thompson.
