Choose Sunset Adventure Safari and ask for Seleman - the guide who became part of our family.
We travelled with Sunset Adventure Safari in October 2026: two weeks through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Mto wa Mbu, then Zanzibar. We are a family with two daughters, aged 10 and 8, and this was our first trip of this kind.
Sunset Adventure Safari is a wonderful company: attentive, flexible and truly caring. The team planned everything around us as a family: the pace, the number of days, and lodges with swimming pools so the girls could release their energy after long days on the road. Every wish we had was heard.
The heart of our journey was our guide, Seleman. He knows the animals deeply and shares their stories in a way that kept our children fascinated for hours. He always read how tired the girls were and adapted the day with great care. With half a word, a look or a gentle hug, he could turn a difficult morning around. I came with many questions and quiet fears as a mother; every answer he gave came with such calm and grace that I felt safe and at peace. He became part of our family, and both our girls cried when we said goodbye.
And he is a true professional. With Seleman we saw the Big Five, more than once. He always seemed to know where the animals would be: a cheetah eating its lunch very close to our car, lion families together, and a family of hippos playing under the water that he spotted when we could see nothing at all. Soon a crowd of other cars had gathered around us. His eyesight is incredible, he always placed the car at the best angle, and he planned each drive on the spot, talking with other guides to find the best places. He knows every road and shortcut by heart, so we spent our time with the animals, not in traffic. We saw every animal we had hoped to see.
We were also lucky with Alex, who guided us with the Hadzabe at Lake Eyasi. He speaks their language, translates beautifully, and was very sensitive to our younger daughter during the hunt. Our bicycle day in Mto wa Mbu, with a wonderful local guide, was another highlight.
If you are travelling to Tanzania, and especially with children, choose Sunset Adventure Safari - and when you book, ask for Seleman by name. He is the reason our trip was not just good, but life-changing. He will make your journey safe, joyful and unforgettable.

An Extraordinary First Safari Experience
We are relaxing on a gorgeous beach in Zanzibar, reflecting on our extraordinary 14-day African safari adventure with Sunset Adventure Safaris. What an unforgettable experience!
A huge thank you to Emma and the entire Sunset Adventure Safaris team for making our African safari dream come true! From the moment I first reached out to several safari companies, Emma’s prompt responses, thorough communication, and attention to detail gave me confidence that Sunset Adventure Safaris was the right choice. The organization, communication, and care throughout the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
Our driver and guide, Yohana, was absolutely outstanding! He navigated the rugged terrain like a pro and shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, national parks, and local culture. Most importantly, he was attentive, thoughtful, friendly, and incredibly funny. We thoroughly enjoyed his company!
Yohana also did an amazing job keeping our surprise sunrise hot-air balloon excursion a complete secret! Throughout our daily game drives, he seemed to have a knack for finding the most incredible wildlife encounters. From tracking down the elusive leopard high in a tree, to discovering 11 different prides of lions, spotting a pair of cheetahs, and finally finding rhinos—the last of the Big Five for us—on our very last day of safari, he continually surprised and delighted us.
A HUGE Asante Sana, Yohana! (Thank you so much!)
While the incredible wildlife was undoubtedly the star of our 14-day adventure, there were so many other memorable highlights. Our bike tour through Mto wa Mbu village gave us a wonderful glimpse into authentic village life, and the breathtaking sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti, followed by a champagne breakfast, was truly magical. It was an extremely early start, but absolutely worth it!
The accommodations and food throughout our journey were fantastic. A few places particularly stood out:
* Heart & Soul Lodge, Lake Manyara: Beautiful grounds and the most amazing staff, who made us feel so welcome.
* Marera Valley Lodge: A huge bedroom, a lovely private balcony with a view, a beautiful pool surrounded by lush gardens, and delicious food.
* Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort: Exceptional staff, outstanding service, delicious food, and beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect place to unwind and end our once-in-a-lifetime African adventure.
We are leaving Tanzania with incredible memories, a deeper appreciation for its remarkable wildlife and culture, and immense gratitude for the people who made this journey so special.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Emma and her extraordinary team at Sunset Adventure Safaris to anyone dreaming of an African safari. From the initial planning to the final day, they delivered an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.
Asante Sana, Emma and team, for making our African safari dream come true!

An Unforgettable Journey Through Tanzania and Zanzibar – Perfectly Organized from Start to Finish!
From October 4th to 18th, we enjoyed an absolutely wonderful trip through Tanzania and Zanzibar, organized by Sunset Adventure Safari. And what an incredible experience it was!
From our very first contact, we had a great feeling about this company. Their website is clear and easy to navigate, and requesting a travel proposal is very straightforward. Our itinerary was fully customized to our personal wishes.
We communicated with Emma, who speaks Dutch, which made everything even easier for us. She was absolutely wonderful! Emma always responded quickly to our questions, provided helpful advice, and made sure we were well prepared. We received detailed information, useful tips about Tanzania and Zanzibar, and a comprehensive packing checklist. A few days before departure, we received all the final details. Everything was perfectly organized.
And then our adventure in Tanzania began, with Sele as our driver and guide. What an amazing person!
From the moment Sele picked us up at Kilimanjaro Airport, we felt completely at ease. Sele is not only an outstanding guide but also an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and caring person.
He was always perfectly on time, the safari vehicle was spotlessly clean every single day, and there was always plenty of drinking water available. Lunch boxes? Taken care of! Practical arrangements? All sorted! We genuinely didn't have to worry about a thing. Sele thought of everything, often before we even had the chance to ask.
He is an excellent and careful driver, has an incredible knowledge of wildlife and nature, and shared so much interesting information with us during our safaris. We also noticed how helpful and supportive he was towards his fellow guides, which says a lot about his character.
But what truly made Sele special was his personality. He went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. He was always cheerful, attentive, and great company. We also shared wonderful conversations and lots of laughter during our meals together.
Sele became so much more to us than just a driver and guide. He played such an important part in making our journey truly special. Saying goodbye to him was genuinely emotional.
Sele, thank you so much for everything! You will always have a special place in our hearts. ❤️
After our safari adventure, we continued our journey to Zanzibar. Once again, everything was perfectly arranged. Upon arrival, Liz welcomed us at the airport and took us to our first accommodation in Stone Town. The following day, we explored the city with a local guide. Later that afternoon, we were transferred to our next accommodation, where we spent the final relaxing days of our holiday. Our transfer back to the airport on departure day was also perfectly organized.
What impressed us most was how smoothly everything went, from our very first contact with Emma to our final moments in Zanzibar. We never had to worry about anything and could simply enjoy all the beauty Tanzania and Zanzibar have to offer.
Sunset Adventure Safari exceeded all our expectations. A professional, reliable company with a personal touch and truly wonderful people.
Emma, thank you for organizing such an amazing journey. And Sele, thank you for making our safari an experience we will treasure forever!
We wholeheartedly recommend Sunset Adventure Safari to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Asante sana! ❤️
An Amazing Adventure!
Don't know where to start, Our trip was amazing! From the planning stages with Emma, going back and forth with the planning, she was great. We had multiple iterations and she took our input and created an amazing adventure. The day before we departed our flights got cancelled, we were now going to arrive 2 to 3 days later. I got in touch with Emma (flights were on us) and she was willing to try to get refunds for those missed days. In the end we booked another flight and arrived hours later than the original plan. Thank you for everything you did Emma.
The safari was more than we ever imagined. We did a 7 day safari with another 5 days at Zanzibar. We visited the following National parks, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Northern Serengeti (for the great migration), Ngorongoro. There was no shortage of animals to see. We even witnessed 2 crossings in Northern Seregeti. Our driver/guide Patrick was amazing, very knowledgeable on the animals, plants, and birds. He knew how to position us for some great shots. We saw 4 of the 5 big five on the 1st day and the elusive Rino on the last day at Ngorongoro National Park. Thank you Patrick for making this a trip we'll never forget! You were fantastic.
My Blue in Zanzibar was nice. Needed some time after the safari to just relax. the resort and beach were very nice, the food was good and staff was very accommodating, making you feel right at home. Thank you Sunset Adventure Safari for making this a trip we;ll never forget!
Tanzania is a fabulous Safari destination and Sunset Adventure Safari is the way to do it.
We did all our planning with Emma & Sarah of Sunset Adventure Safari. They were totally helpful in molding the perfect safari experience for us including places to stay and excursions and also the timing of the great migration which we witnessed 3 times in one day. They provided us with a wonderful driver named Sele who got us to all the right areas so that we would see the "Big Five" and more and also as I had mentioned before to witness the great migration all 3 times from start to finish. If you are looking to have the best safari experience contact Emma & Sarah of Sunset Adventure Safari. They can arrange and handle everything and give you all the information possible to make the trip easy for you and the best value. Great service. Great driver and the accommodations as well as the excursions also was great. Surpassed our expectations.
