Amazing!
If you’re looking for an exceptional safari experience at an exceptional value, choose SAFARI BIG 5. The price (per person, per day) is one-fifth of many alternatives but delivers the full experience with flawless logistics and great accommodations. Perhaps most importantly, our assigned guide, Nadin, was a delight to be with. From the pick up at the hotel in Nairobi to the final drop off in Arusha, Imran Esmail at Safari Big 5 was on top of everything detail and cheerfully met all of our needs. The vehicle was in great condition and was driven off-road by an expert who was passionate about finding every animal for our viewing. The Kati Kati tented camp was beyond our expectations, with excellent beds, washrooms, and dining facilities. The Octagon Lodge was full of character and we especially appreciated the huge barbeque they put on for our last night. The Ngoroongoro Wildlife Lodge overlooking the Ngoroongoro crater was nothing short of breathtaking.
You can pay five times as much, but I’m hard pressed to understand how our experience could have been improved by paying more money. It was quite simply the experience of a lifetime.

So much more than expected.
Nicholas was very helpfull in every way and arranged for a perfect trip in all aspects. He answered patiently all my questions and emails very quickly with helpfull answeres and information.
On the airport I was met by my driver / guide Chris who were equally helpfull and had a thouroughly good knowledge of everything from Rwandas history to its culture and animals.
If I get the opportunity I most certainly will use Nicholas and his company again and I will have no trouble of asking for Chris as my driver once again as well.
I recommend Gorilla Trek Africa for all its worth.

Wonderful tour
My family and I typically do not do group bus tours, but we all loved this one. Our guide Antonella was friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining, and guided us through Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. We were given short tours/introductions to each town and had plenty of time to explore each one on our own. My favorite stop, however, was lunch at a farm along the way. The food was great, the setting was charming, and we bought some wine to take home! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Last minute Safari
It was a spur of the moment decision to go on Safari in Tanzania, the procedure of receiving Visa upon arrival in Tanzania is just so convenient. We explored the Northen Circuit and spent a week in Manfia island,learning how to Scuba dive, Marco is a great Padi instructor. Great times.

The most memorable experience of my life
Malcolm!
Find myself one month removed from what was the most memorable experience of my life feeling like it just happened yesterday! This trip and your guidance exposed me to the very core of life, nature, the wild! To have witnessed up close and encountered so much amazing wild life in their natural habitat like the two lioness was above and beyond any expectations, thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to go back!!!!

A Memorable Safari
My two friends and I went with Sunny Safaris on our 6 day/5 night camping safari in Tanzania. We visited four parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The scenery and wildlife was stunning everywhere we went.
The trip, logistics and customer service exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process, Jesca, the manager, was prompt and informative in her responses. She was very willing to cater to our requests. Moreover, we appreciated the fact that she would check to see how we were doing every few days during the trip. That is customer service at a supreme level.
We were also very pleased with our driver/guide, Abdullah, and our cook, Dogo. Abdullah always listened to our requests and made awesome recommendations on where and when to visit the parks. He is very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna in the area and was eager to educate us on them. Thanks to his instincts and experience, we were able to see wildlife that others may not have seen, including leopards, a rhino and a male lion. We thoroughly enjoyed Dogo's cooking. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety and tastiness of his food, especially since we were camping. It is always nice to have hot food and beverages and Dogo was able to do so with smiles.
Overall, Sunny Safaris delivers high-quality and value-driven vacations. As with every tour operator/vacation, you will need to do your research and ask questions during the planning stage if you would like the vacation to meet your expectations.

Great experience!!
Came home from the United States for the holidays and decided to travel to a couple of tourist destinations that I had never been to. I had a great experience. Dancom tour management was accommodating and offered great advice on places to visit. The cost was very reasonable. When I visit Kenya again soon I will definitely go on another trip with Dancom tours!!

Overall a very good operator, also for the budget traveler.
I had an unforgettable experience in Kenya with Big Time, seeing the Big Five! The program was custom made (3 days Masai Mara, 1 day Nakuru) and they are very flexible in setting up this program! Accommodation is average, but the food is luckily good for African Standards! Furthermore, program is fixed and punctual. I would like to thank everyone, John and in particular Stanley + Joseph for being great drivers during the Game Drives.
