Amazing experience I will always remember
My safari with Sunnycreek Safaris was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! The entire way, from booking to final dropoff, everyone was very professional and friendly. The transportation was reliable. James was very responsive for booking and all questions. Moses was an experienced, friendly, and funny driver. We saw so many awesome animals and events while in the park, and it was even better because of the knowledge and experience of Moses. All of this was at an incredible price. If you are looking to do a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend using Sunnycreek Safaris!

The best above the rest world over.
It is most reliable. The memories we created while at Mara with my family are the best, Courtesy of Yuan Da. I bet none of my friends and family members would regret any dealings with Yuan Da time and time again. We are always grateful. We were offered best customer service and the drive around the park was absolutely amazing.

Experience of a lifetime!
Huge thanks to Eli and Philo for giving us a magical experience and memory for life!
We did a 4 day safari tour including Serengeti, Ngorngoro crater and Lake Manyara. The accommodations were all top standard and quality, including a very cool experience spending a night in a clamping tent on the Serengeti. Communication and coordination prior to our trip worked very smooth and we felt we definitely got a lot of value for our money.
Thanks to Eli, our very knowledgeable and experienced guide (20+ years as a safari guide), we were fortunate enough to see the big 5 and a lot of other wildlife. He went out of his way to make our trip as great as possible.
I would recommend anyone looking for a lifetime experience to use African Savannah Trekkers for their safari!
Thanks again!

Mt. Kenya "A spiritual walk everyone should embark on in their life time".
To start off; Lennox with Axis Africa was very helpful with the advising process on what tour to take. He'd review your level of physical fitness with you, your objective, your expectations and your availability. After that he'll email you detailed options of tours for you to choose from accompanied with his recommendation based on what you are looking for. His response was very prompt. His description of how the day will turn out on day 1 (from pick up to beginning of the hike) was exact. I greatly appreciated this; because embarking on such a lengthy journey can come with a level of anxiety.
Before I proceed; I feel it is important I share the purpose on why I embarked on this hike. My Goal was to spiritually connect with Ngai (God); to understand why my ancestors took on a similar pilgrimage in order to present themselves in Ngai's powerful & divine presence and pray to him.
Meeting my tour guides - Jimmy Kinyua, Franco (Best Chef Ever!!) and David (my porter) was a divine connection.
Mr. Kinyua reached out to me the day before I drove myself to Nanyuki to ensure I had everything I needed and to discuss a preferred rendezvous point. Through that conversation I realized I had left my facial cover (balaclava mask) behind. Mr. Kinyua offered to personally buy me one and to worry about it. On the night before met - he text me to ensure I went to bed at decent time to ensure optimal rest.
Day 1 - We met up at the agreed upon location; loaded up our gear and headed to the Sirimon Gate. Prior to our departure; Chef Franco whipped up an delicious healthy meal. They made sure I was mentally ready prior to taking off. They were all very involved and checking up on me to make sure all was good to go.
Day 1 to Day 5: As soon as I shared my purpose of taking this journey; they literally walked with me in it. Mr. Kinyua is an encyclopedia of cultural wisdom. He understood the mission from the get go and taylored the hike to it's actual purpose. I had brought my JBL hiking mini speaker to listen to my kikuyu music; however I ended up loving Kinyua's playlist - songs that were accompanied by cultural lessons narrated by Kinyua.
Every night they'd sort out my tent, ensuring I was comfortable (in the presence of rain, the cold & heavy snow). Every morning; they'd be awake before you are and you'd find a cup of hot chai and warm breakfast waiting for you. Did I mention Chef Franco's skills are out of this world?
Throughout the hike; they paced themselves in line my physical ability. I wasn't rushed, they were extremely patient, they gave plenty of advice on how to safely accomplish the daily long hikes ( 6 to 8 hour hikes). They were very informative; especially on safety measures. Chef Franco's first aide kit is extra equipped - I thought mine was. I'd be very surprised if he didn't pull out an automatic defibrillator from him kit. The night after our summit - I lost my vision in the middle of the night - pitch black. For a good 3 to 4 hours. I was disappointed and thought to myself; we'd have to contact the air medic services to air lift me. Kinyua and David knew what to do as soon as they recognized what had happened, they placed warm tea bags over my eyes and soon my sight was back (fully back in 8 or so hours).
The day that we summited; it was just Kinyua and I up there. Surprisingly, no one else was there. Like I said; he understood the mission. For a period of 30 to 45 minutes at Lenena Point; we embraced the moment, deeply prayed together and spiritually connected with Ngai.
I am forever indebted to those 3 gentlemen. We safely made it back down to Chogoria.
My recommendation to anyone hiking:
- Attentively listen to your guide. There was a couple that didn't listen to their guides recommendation of summiting with us and ended up being unable to summit the following day because of the heavy rainfall and snow that followed after our descend. (We prayed for rain & he answered).
- Open up about your objective to your guide.
- Be patient with your body - it's not at easy climb.
- Tip your guides, chefs and porters. They are literally taking care of you. $15 to $20 a day if you can.
- Be present in the moment. I now understand the wisdom in the life's philosophy my ancestors put in place. Abundant Love and Servitude; greatest legacy anyone can ever leave behind.
I know it's a long review. I have so much to share.

A memorable trip with an amazing team
We had an amazing Safari experience thanks to our guide and the company. Our 5 days and 4 night trip was perfectly organized, from the pickup point; to the visit of Tarangire and the Serengeti national parks, having not forgotten the wonderful Ngorongoro crater. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable on wildlife, we got unforgettable impressions due to him. He ensured we had; the best experience possible. He knew where and when to get the best sights, this made our trip unforgettable. I highly recommend organizing safaris with this operator. The services were remarkable not to mention the communication, I cannot fail to admit all that is said about the company in reviews is true. They deliver more than expected! Accommodation was top notch, it was a loving team that cared about nothing but our satisfaction. I can say this won’t be my last time working with them. Thanks again for all the memories.
