Second excellent safari experience
This was my second Sun Safari experience and like before, the organisation was perfect. Working with Michelle for a second time was like being back in contact with an old friend....nothing was too much trouble for her and her and all the arrangements that she made in my rather complicated itinerary worked beautifully.
The camps all met my requirements and knowing what I had experienced last time, Michelle was able to suggest options that complimented my last trip, rather than repeating what I'd done before.
If you are hesitating about booking with Sun Safaris....don't - they're great!

Exceptional personal service and attention to detail
Sun Safaris did an exceptional job helping us plan a custom 8-day safari (which was really an extension to a 10-day Sun Safaris trip that friends had already asked us to join). We asked for a wildlife-focused itinerary that would complement our friends' 10-day safari in South Africa. "I want it to be the same, but different," I said. (Big help, I know.) Somehow they read my mind and delivered the perfect mix of safari experiences. Each of the three lodges (Ngoma in Botswana, Elephant Camp in Vic Falls, and Somalisa in Hwange, Zimbabwe) offered exceptional wildlife viewing, luxury surroundings, great food and an unparalleled level of personal service. But they were markedly different in scenery, style and ambiance. We had thought that 18 days of wildlife viewing might be too much of a good thing, but thanks to Sun Safaris' careful planning, we left wanting more. Somehow they put together a package that was well-rounded, interesting and affordable. Though Jako was the planner of the trip, Michelle took over with grace and enthusiasm. She made sure that all the last-minute details were taken care of and that no question went unanswered. I would highly recommend Sun Safaris to anyone who wants to "do their own thing." They will help you figure out what that precisely means and make it happen!

First trip to Africa
Liselle at Sun Safaris helped us with our first trip to South Africa. We were so pleased. Every step of the way it was perfect. Not knowing where to start or where to go we trusted her judgment and we're thrilled with her choices. It was a trip of a lifetime and no doubt we will go back. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable trip we have ever been on. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We highly recommend Sun Safaris! Liselle makes it easy and Simple. We love Africa!

Amazing Safari, Well Planned
My girlfriend and I wanted to send a word of thanks for organizing such a wonderful safari for us. Klasserie Sands River Camp was absolutely stunning, we truly loved it. The owners, ranger and staff were all amazing. Our accommodations were wonderful and the food outstanding - Angie's cooking is unforgettable. We saw all the big five -- just awesome. It was a real treasure.
HoneyGuide was unique and different and we loved our time there as well! An elephant came right up to our tent. Tents were understandably less luxurious but the proximity to the animals and being immersed in the safari bush experience -- it was perfect.
Thank you so much! We can't thank you enough for organizing such a terrific trip for us.
We have booked through Sun Safaris many times and we always get what we want.
Sun Safaris have just organized our 6th trip, this time to Zambia. They have always known what we want and give us plenty of options to choose. Once we decide, the bookings are made swiftly and flawlessly. Over the years we have made great friends with all the staff and especially Natasha Allan. We have even visited them in Cape Town and met up with them at an anti-canned lion demonstration!

Sun Safaris did an excellent job of coordinating all our plans in Africa.
Sun Safaris booked all the accommodations and transportation for a 3 week visit in Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya and South Africa for us. It was a very involved and extensive trip, but everything fell into place perfectly, thanks to their coordination and execution of what we requested. There were no glitches and Brett took a very personal interest in making sure that we were very satisfied with Sun Safaris. Thank you for a very awesome vacation.

Perfect Trip to Southen Africa
My wife and I just returned from our first trip to southern Africa where we used Sun Safaris to arrange all land transfers and lodges - and they were brilliant! Natasha at Sun Safaris had everything arranged perfectly and our travel was stress free and a wonderful experience. I used frequent flyer miles to book airfare (South African is part of the Star Alliance with United) so I was looking for a safari consultant to arrange the "on ground" portion of the trip so that we could travel independent of a big group. I told Natasha that we would like to visit Sabi Sands Game Reserve in South Africa, Victoria Falls, and Chobe Natl Park in Botswana, and that we wanted small lodges with a personal feel, away from the more touristy areas, in a mid-range price level. Her selection of lodges fit us perfectly! Her selection of transfer companies was also great - we were met at each airport by a friendly driver who took us to the lodges and we were picked up punctually from each lodges to move to the next destination. Each lodge was well informed of our arrival and departure times and we learned that Natasha even checked with one lodge while we were there to ensure that things were going smoothly - a nice and personal touch! I am a university Professor and I would give Sun Safaris and Natasha a grade of A+!

Wonderful safari experience in Botswana
We booked our 7 night safari in Botswana through Natasha at Sun Safaris. Everything from the inital contact with Sun Safaris, to the organisation of our safari, to the transfers and arrivals at the camps was perfectly done. We stayed at three camps which all fitted the brief we gave to Natasha and lived up to our expectations.

Experience of a lifetime
We are from Canada and contacted Sun Safaris via email. We were a little worried at first being so far away and with dealing only through internet, but we were very satisfied with the quick response every time we emailed a question or with a change in our itinerary. For multiple reasons, we dealt with 4 different agents, the last one, Michelle, was superbe. Always delivering the information as promised. During our stay in Cape Town, we even stopped by the office to meet her.
As far as the tour arrangements were concerned, we spent 25 days in Africa, in South Africa, in Zambia and Tanzania. All accommodations, all flights all tours were exactly as booked, no surprises, all went according to itinerary. We were thrilled.
We loved our accommodations, the food was wonderful, the staff at all locations were exceptionnally friendly and very helpful.
We loved our African adventure and would highly recommend Sun Safaris to anyone.

Fantastic trip to South Africa
We travelled to South Africa in Dec 2014 as a group of 5 and stayed in 2 camps in greater Kruger national park over 7 nights. Both camps were brilliant. We then went on to Cape Town for 8 nights. Everything went according to plan and the recommendations from Natasha were great! The safari was better than we imagined and Cape Town was also beautiful with plenty to do! Natasha was always very fast responding when I had a query. I would certainly book a safari through Sun Safaris again. Excellent service!
