Sunway Safaris delivered an exceptionally well‑organised, great‑value, and unforgettable adventure!
My recent Zimbabwe & Botswana Game Tracker Safari with Sunway Safaris was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Sunway delivered a phenomenal experience from start to finish, thanks in large part to their incredibly knowledgeable and highly experienced guides. Their passion for the wildlife, landscapes, and culture of Southern Africa brought every moment to life and made the journey feel both immersive and effortless.
The itinerary offered a terrific range of accommodation styles - each thoughtfully chosen to match the character of its location - and every stay was comfortable, welcoming, and uniquely memorable. Activities were exceptionally well organised, varied, and perfectly suited to each destination, giving us an authentic and diverse perspective of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
What stood out most was how accurately the trip matched what was described on the Sunway website. Every promise lived up to reality. From unforgettable game viewing to seamless logistics, the safari exceeded every expectation.
Thank you, Sunway Safaris, for an extraordinary experience. I couldn’t recommend this safari more highly!

Safari Tour Review
Pros:
This safari tour is a great opportunity to experience both African wildlife and the breathtaking natural landscapes of Africa. The scenery was truly stunning, and the overall concept of the tour is well thought out. It’s a memorable way to explore nature and see animals in their natural environment.
What could be improved:
It would be very helpful to clearly inform guests in advance about the cost of the pre-paid dinner, as this was not fully transparent beforehand.
Providing printed brochures or a digital guide with a daily schedule and timing for the tour would improve the experience. This could also include brief information about the locations and animals we are expected to see.
Guests should be informed that if breakfast is missed, breakfast boxes are prepared but must be collected independently at the hotel reception.
It is important to clearly communicate that cash payments are not accepted everywhere. This is especially critical, as without traveling with my friend, I would have been left without lunch.
More specific guidance should be given depending on the tour regarding whether to bring money, what clothing and footwear to wear, as routes and weather conditions vary. The current information provided is too broad.
The safari service itself could be improved. Our vehicle got stuck at a crossing, and we lost over an hour of the tour. Additionally, the brakes failed, and we nearly crashed into the lodge reception, which raised serious safety concerns.
It would be good to have a compensation or alternative program policy in cases of floods or road closures. Due to these circumstances, we did not see any big cats (lion, leopard, cheetah).
Overall:
Despite these issues, I would still consider using this operator again and would recommend it to friends, as the experience and nature itself were truly special.

Lems was a very good guide. With humour he was explained history of places and local struggles.
Very good experience. Camping had dome challenges but thats always the case when you live outdoors.
Food was decent but not amazing,for vegetarians might be more difficult

Perfect and Unforgettable
Choosing the 7 day Lemosho Route with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures was the perfect decision. The rainforest was quiet and beautiful and the scenery changed dramatically as we climbed higher to alpine moorland, scrub to the snow capped summit.
Our guide Katana was excellent and very experienced and his assistant Meshack was equally supportive. The crew set a steady pace which helped with acclimatization and made the climb feel safe and enjoyable, but still very tough. The porters were friendly patient and very helpful.
Regular health checks daily briefings and great food showed how well the team cared for us. Reaching the summit was an emotional and unforgettable moment and the most rewarding experience of our lives. We highly recommend the Lemosho Route and Tanzania Wildlife Adventures.

This 3 trip we got the best memories.
We came to Tanzania for our 3 day affordable safari with Agama Tours and Safaris, really it was very affordable for us. We visited 3 national parks. We were amazed to see elephants so close in Tarangire that we could hear them breathing. Lake Manyara felt like a hidden garden - green, peaceful and full of wonders, from hippos to colorful birds. The Ngorongoro Crater was overwhelming in the best way - there was so much life in one place that it almost felt unreal. What surprised me most was how emotional the experience became. Watching my children silently gaze at the lions felt even more powerful. Very safe safari and their proper guidelines made very enjoyable. We would like to be any family travelers who want this 3 day budget safari.

Solo traveller - experience of a lifetime!
I did a 3-night, 4-day safari with Baby Bird Safari as a female solo traveller, and honestly… it was unreal from start to finish.
From the very beginning, Chris was excellent with communication during the booking process; super clear, friendly, and professional. Payment was easy too: half deposit upfront, half cash on the first day, which felt very straightforward.
The trip itself felt like I’d visited three different countries in one safari. Amboseli National Park was absolutely unreal; the landscapes and wildlife were next-level and something I’ll never forget.
One of the biggest highlights was staying in Tsavo West, where the lodge actually left meat out for leopards. Watching them come so close in the wild was insane; something I never imagined experiencing like that.
The lodge in Ngutuni was outstanding and right next to a watering hole, so you could sit back and watch animals come and go. It felt peaceful, wild, and special all at once.
As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe the entire time. There was lots of laughter, cracking jokes, sharing music, and learning about different cultures; it felt relaxed, fun, and genuine.
Truly an unreal experience, and I’m so grateful for it.
Thank you so much, Baby Bird Safari. I’d recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation!

Trekking With Kili Team Adventures
Our family of four, parents in our late forties and two teenage boys, had an incredible experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on the 8 day Lemosho route with Kili Team Adventures. From the start, Moses guided us clearly on gear, rentals, and expectations. On the mountain, our guides Jabir and Steve were patient, knowledgeable, and motivating, while chef Booker and the porter team kept us well fed and comfortable. We loved learning about local culture, Swahili, and even helping collect trash along the route. Thanks to their support, all four of us reached the summit, a once in a lifetime family adventure we will never forget.

A perfect tour guide James Gichina
Especially, our tour guide James Gichina is grate. He is very kind, friendly and has a good community so it was easy to find a lot of animals including BIG5. This was our first time to visit safari in Kenya, but we are very satisfied.

Excellent experience
We were very pleased with our 3-day safari to Amboseli and Tsavo East. Our driver, Kitavi, picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and at the end of our trip he dropped us off in Diani where we are staying for the next week.
Kitavi was a very professional guide and did his best for us to see as many animals as possible. We saw a lot of different animals at a short distance at Tsavo East, including elephants and lions.
We were also happy with our stayovers at AA Lodge and The elephant lodge. 5/5 would recommend.

Once in a lifetime experience and absolutely worth it!!!
I booked it the evening before we left and it was no problem at all! I chose the 3 days Masai Mara, with two days in the park. I took the budget option and it was more than enough. The food was good as well, but everyday the same… Richie our guide tried his best to give us a great experience! We were way longer in the park than the description says. Of course it’s a lot of money, but a once in a lifetime experience and totally worth it!!! I would do it again and can only recommend it!
