Professional, timeous response, kept us informed
Thanks so much Natasha for arranging such a superb trip to Zimbabwe for us, for always getting back to us when you said you would, and for putting up with a multitude of questions from us.
Our 3 nights on the house boat in Kariba was perfect. Our next stop was Mana Pools Safari Lodge which provided excellent accommodation, guided walks and close up viewings of lion, wild dogs and elephants - at our doorstep.
You were so helpful and a joy to liase with - thank you for a 10 out of 10 trip.

Everything was seamless
I contacted Brett last March to see what he could advise for our trip to South Africa. Once I did he took all the arrangements in hand. He suggested accomadation and day trips and we were so well looked after.
The trip was a dream come true. We have 4 children from age 13 to 18 and they have said it was the best holiday ever.
They are already trying to book our return visit

Organized, affordable, and have their clients experiences at the forefront.
I just returned from an incredible 14-day adventure through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. The trip was flawlessly organized, with breathtaking wildlife experiences, luxurious lodges, and exceptional staff. The guides were knowledgeable, the accommodations were stunning, and the food was outstanding. Every moment was unforgettable, making this trip a dream come true. Highly recommended! Natasha planned a well though out trip that forever be one of our favorites. Her knowledge and willingness to answer any question was appreciaited. Because of her, we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that everything was taken care of.

Perfect organization of the trip
We loved every bit of it. Sabi Sand was great, lots of activities regarding animals. Many times seeing leopard, lions. Lodge is great too. Nsala was very special. We were the only ones there, and we could feel the experience of “deep in the bush” stay. Time slowed down. Didn’t know that S. Africa could be freezing cold (loved that). The local team was so nice to us. Food was 5-stars, literally. Saw a white lion. We had tears in our eyes when leaving. Safari Moon was a great location too. Interesting project of the estate. Our Kruger day made us fall in love with the park. Felt like Garden of Eden to me. Definitely we want to go back and explore more of the park and its distinct regions. We also did the boat ride inside the canyon - what a beautiful place.
We are feeling a very strong African blues…
Thanks one more time for arranging our trip in such a short notice. It delivered and went beyond.
An awesome itinerary with flawless execution.
Sun Safaris exceeded our expectations. We are from the United States, and found planning a trip to South Africa to be a little challenging. Brett at Sun Safaris made booking our vacation very easy. His suggestions for an itinerary were excellent, the accommodations he picked for us were wonderful, and our guides were knowledgeable and kind. I plan to use Sun Safaris again! Their service and responsiveness is top-notch.

Faultless, professional with superb local knowledge
I have never been to Africa before. An Internet search provided me with a local agent, Sun Safari, and Brett Thomson. From the very first contact by email and then over several Zoom meetings, I rapidly realised that I was dealing with a very professional, ethical, and knowledgeable travel advisor. This superb organisation has an amazing Internet and IT Setup. All the camps recommended were outstanding. All flights and transfers happened seamlessly. During our holiday, he responded almost immediately to any email requests. Am truly unique and memorable African and Botswana Safari holiday with, I suspect, one of South Africa's best travel agents. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

A tour planning service that is reliable, helpful, knowledgeable, dedicated and flexible.
First time to Africa so we wanted to do it right. Friends that have been to Africa many times recommended Sun Safaris. Sun Safaris asked us what we liked and didn't like. They replied with several ideas. We choose what was the most appealing that met with our timeline. Then they replied with a proposal. We tweaked it and changes were made. Then we did a "Zoom" face to face, mostly dealing with what to do and not to do regarding travel to our specific travel spots in Southern Africa. There were four events in our program - 1. Tour of Cape Town Area including wineries. 2. Trip to Victoria Falls - Two night stay with exploration and experiential events. 3. Transportation and two night stay to a safari game camp. 4. Transportation and two night stay at another safari game camp with a totally different look and feel from the prior camp. All events completely exceeded our expectations!!! We were so pleased with Sun Safaris that when we got back to spend time in Cape Town, we contracted with Sun Safaris to provide another full day excursion. Highly recommend Sun Safaris !!!!

Outstanding partner in planning a perfect safari.
From the beginning, Brett at Sun Safari was incredibly helpful. He took the time to understand what our group wanted, what our budget and time resources were, and then worked with us to design a perfect excursion to Kruger. Everything he planned for us worked out perfectly, from the flights, to ground transfers, to the magical safaris themselves. We spent a few days at Rhino Walking Safari and a few days at Thabamati Luxury Tented camp. Brett had advised this so we could experience the intimacy and excitement of a walking safari, and then experience the different perspective of a drive safari. The staff and guides at both camps were extraordinary, and we learned so much about animals, tracking, birds, and plants. We ended up seeing everything possible (except cheetah) - even a black rhino on the walking tour! We have already recommended Sun Safaris to family and friends and would not use anyone else to help plan a trip when we return. Brett is very responsive and goes the extra mile, and we felt that we received incredible value for the money. This was one of the best trips we've ever had!

We have used Sun Safaris on many occasions and we are delighted with their services.
Natasha Allen of Sun Safaris has booked safaris for us in many countries. At our recent one in Zimbabwe her selection of Deteema, Verney’s and Mana River Camp was spot-on for us. After just a few weeks back home we now are planning next year’s trip, our thirteenth safari and we will of course contact Natasha who we regard as not just an adviser, but as a friend.
