Michelle was incredible with us, everything went perfect!!! I really recommend her.
Went to the &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp on the first week of October 2018 with Sun Safaris. Its was an AMAZING trip, the hotel was really nice 5 star!! and the guides and staff really make sure your having a really nice experience (I really recommend this hotel if your staying at the Masai Mara Reserve). Saw the big 5, witness a killing and have a really good trip.
Michelle our operator was really nice, she made sure everything went perfect and we had everything tailored made for us. The transfers and hotel (Eka hotel Nairobi) between Nairobi and the reserve were excelent and the people so nice. Even got to experience a VIP treatment at the elephant orphanage.
Sun Safaris is the best travel agency to visit Africa, I´ve also used Abercrombie & Kent and it was a lot more easier to do everything at Sun Safaris.

Stress free
I would normally have booked our accommodation direct but our trip to Roam Private Game Reserve was Organised by Natasha at SunSafaris. I found Natasha very responsive and professional. She was quick to respond to questions and proactive in asking after us following our visit. I would certainly recommend working with Natasha and visiting Roam for a 2 or 3 night Karoo experience.

Fabulous safari adventure in Botswana.
This trip was the seventh that Sun Safaris has organized for us and again we were not disappointed. Natasha Allan gave us plenty of options for Botswana and we chose 3 camps run by Desert and Delta. The first for 4 nights was Savute Safari Camp which we have visited many times before and is our firm favourite anywhere. Natasha made sure we booked the best cabin by the water hole, definitely recommended. Next we flew to Camp Xakanaxa in the Moremi reserve. The camp was our first time there although we know the area from previous trips. Beautiful scenery and great game sights, especially the wild dogs. The best part of Xakanaxa is their resident hippo, Oscar, who wanders round the grounds to everyone's delight. The last camp was in the Magkadigkadi region, south from the Delta and a completely new area to us. Camp La Roo Latau has beautiful cabins high on the escarpment of the Boteti River, surrounded by semi arid desert. The game is not as dense as the Delta but never the less is full of extraordinary sights. The optional full day drive to the Nxai Pans is recommended despite being quite arduous - the water hole at the pan is magnificent as are the Baines Baobabs nearby.
Natasha not only booked our camps but also all connecting flights including from Johannesburg to Botswana and back. Everything went flawlessly and we could not be happier with the arrangements. Natasha also helped us with the booking of our further driving trip around KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. Her suggestion of Rhino Ridge Lodge in the Hluhluwe Park was wonderful - one of the most luxurious places I have stayed in.

Beyond the highest of expectations
Initially we were determined to self-book the entirety of the Safari trip as first time travelers to SA and first time safari experience. The available websites are informative but they do not come close to the wealth of information and convenience provided by our booking agent Natasha Allen. She found us an experience within our budget and matched to our appetite and even provided us with a number of options. She was never pushy and always helpful.
We attended 2 safaris, the first more rustic, the second in a lodge. Both had their own attributes that were very pleasing and we will definitely be returning once again. We saw all the wildlife we hoped to see and we felt that the experience was authentic with rangers and staff all being residents of the area.

Great! Took into account all of our wishlist and patiently answered my millions of questions
Liselle was amazing she planned us the perfect South African safari.
Our flights were smooth and transportation was on time to and from Klaserie Sands River Camp which was also absolutely perfect, the staff and the accommodations and of course the animals it was a dream come true an unforgettable experience! All payment transactions were smooth and easy as well.
Liselle took into account all of our wishlist and set us up at the perfect small but beautiful lodge for our time safari.
She was so patient helping me with the millions of questions I had over the last year! Needless to say I will definitely come back to sun safaris for any future safaris and will be recommending them to my friends and family.

Great service and planned an AMAZING trip for us!
Friends recommended Sun Safaris, so I reached out to them back in 2018. From the first communication with Michelle, I was already pleased with them. Out of all the agencies I reached out to, they were the quickest to respond with tons of helpful information and questions to further understand what we were looking for. They even provided itinerary examples from he beginning, which really helped to understand how the trip would work.
From there, Michelle was great at answering ALL my questions (I had many), and really guiding me through the process. She made it so easy, and offered many options for what we were looking for.
We booked the trip in 2018, and just got back from a 7-night Safari trip in Botswana....and it was INCREDIBLE! The camps were great, the services was amazing, the game viewing was better than we expected, and we just absolutely loved it. Everything was so well coordinated, and if we do another safari trip again (which we probably will), we would definitely use Sun Safaris again.

Responsive and meticulous consultant who helped us design a tailored safari for our requirements!!
What a relief to have had Natasha help us from start to finish. Truly a star. To highlight key points:
1. Very considered and thoughtful approach. I went back and forth with Natasha over dates, price range, and general 'experience' we desired to find our lodge. We cycled through 3-four before finding the right one
2. Natasha thought about all the things we didn't think of such as transport to the lodge, food allergies etc. She then checked in periodically to make sure everything was on track. It allowed me to feel comfortable and relieved that the trip was soundly planned
3. Overall just a cheerful and positive person to talk to and exchange emails with
Strongly recommend. If you want to escape to the bush to just relax and immerse yourself in another world, let someone who knows the area and has done it before take care of all the worries for you!

The Safari of a Lifetime made easy
From the first contact with Natasha until our trip was booked the process was tailored to my needs. Natasha listened to what I wanted from our safari experience and made suggestions and provided options so we could tailor the trip to meet our needs. After we finalized our plans Natasha continued to stay in touch with us to make sure we had all the information we were ready to go. When we had airline problems she was ready to help us make an alternate plan if needed. I would be happy to book another trip with Sun Safaris and Natasha. We had the trip of a lifetime and it was all possible because of great planning and help from this group. Thanks so much for making this happen.

Excellent communication and service
Natasha assisted me and my two friends, with planning a short visit to the Timbavati and Sabi Sands Reserves near Kruger National Park. She was an excellent communicator, answering queries and general emails quickly and with all the information we needed to plan our trip. I highly recommend Sun Safaris and would definitely use them again when planning another safari in the region.

Helpful
Janelle helped us plan an amazing trip. We were overwhelmed by all the choices on line but Janelle helped us book two wonderful lodges within our budget as well as our ground transfers and flights. With Janelle’s advice I felt confident enough to plan this once in a lifetime trip!! I highly recommend Sun Safaris.
