Truly an amazing experience!
We had an awesome adventure with Wildlife Sun Safaris. Our time was limited, and James and his crew made sure we got the most out of our 3 days safari! We had an amazing safari, 3 friends in a private car with one driver, Thoya, which was great. Had lots of game drives and were lucky to see all big 5! James were also very helpful regards to travel information, and also booking train tickets back to Nairobi from Mombasa. It was all in all a great experience and would definitely recommend Wildlife Sun Safaris to others.
Great Experience
Well organized, friendly and experience staff. Great safari experience and I would recommend this company to everyone.

A fantastic journey.
Okay - so we have just finished an amazing tour of Kenya with Wildlife Sun Safaris. There were 8 of us travelling together in 4 minivans. We did an ambitious 16 day safari, visiting Meru, Samburu, Aberdare, Nakuru, Lake Bogoria, Masai Mara, Amboseli and West Tsavo National Parks.
From the start, James was fantastic to work with. He was a great help in assisting with the planning of the trip. He answered all our questions promptly and clearly. He was very honest and delivered our safari as planned, except for longer than expected travel times. For the number of parks we chose and the time we had, it was a very busy trip. Because some of the travel times were longer than expected due to traffic and road conditions, we really needed a few more days to make the trip a little more relaxing. But - this was the itinerary we chose and the company did their best to deliver.
The minivans were great to travel in. Our drivers were very good and knowledgeable. Kudos to Jackson, Simon, Toya and Sulieman. They drove very patiently and safely, and did their very best to find animals for us. (And we found many!!!). We could have had a little more input from them at times, but I think this was an unusual situation for them, where there were 4 of them travelling together, with 8 opinionated adults to deal with! But all of the drivers were very professional. They were always on time, kept the vans clean and fuelled, and could trouble-shoot any mechanical problems that arose. We always had plenty of water in the vans - a very important item when travelling all day in the heat. Our lodges were great. We were happy with all of them. The food, for the most part, was very good, and no one got sick. There was also the excellent service of picking us up and delivering us to the airport. Much appreciated!
Bottom line - it was a fantastic safari. I would definitely travel with Wildlife Sun Safaris again and would not hesitate to recommend them. In fact, I wish I were back in Kenya with them now!

Excellent safari experience
We took a 9 day tour to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Mara North. EXCEPTIONAL (5*) part of the tour were the following: (i) The tour guide is the person who guides you for the whole tour and can make or break a tour. We were fortunate to have Mr. Thoya as our driver-cum-tour guide. Extremely punctual, well groomed, communicative, friendly, extremely safe driving; most importantly, he had an exceptional knowledge of the bush and always knew where to find the animals, depending on the time of the day. He is also well networked and helped a couple of guys when they had flat tires. I am sure, if he had faced any problems (which he didn't), he would have been able to organise support quickly. Thanks to him, we got to see the big5 on both days in Masai Mara. We also got to see Cheetah hunts twice. All-in-all extremely satisfying (ii) Lodges, in order of our liking - (a) Mara Serena Lodge (truly exceptional place this) (b) Keekorok Lodge (c) Kibo Safari Camp. AVERAGE (4*) part of the tour were the following: (i) Flamingo Hill Camp at Lake Nakuru - staff could definitely improve their courtesy. Following aspects could have been IMPROVED : (i) Upkeep of the Toyota Safari vehicle provided to us (ii) Error in booking 3 single rooms instead of 1 double occupancy and 1 single occupancy room due to miscommunication. The number of rooms to be booked should come out clearly in the quotation

Trustworthy, helpful, courteous, reliable.
James was helpful and upfront from the beginning right from first contact. The proposed itinerary was changed without any problems to suit our time table . James met us before the trip and put our minds to ease since the Kenyan elections were just over , we were a bit worried.He listed out what to expect during our safari.
The trip to Masai mara and Lake Nakuru was real good thanks to Francis , our driver who was reliable, always on time and knew about the animals, he was also a good spotter , especially the leopards that were camouflaged up in the trees. Francis was also a safe driver. We saw all the big 5 and many more.
The camps and lodges were all excellent so were the people we met.
Thank you Wildlife sun safari.

Excellent experience
The tour operator James suggested a great itinerary for the tour and was able to accommodate our specific choice and the time frame.
He greeted us at the airport. Our flight was delayed but he even took us to a lovely dinner.
Our guide Simon was very knowledgeable, pleasant and spoke English very well. He also was able to assist with many requests that we had.
We saw all the animals and Simon was very good at finding them and keeping us safe.
Our hotels choice were wonderful, especially in Amboseli. The lodge in Maasai Mara situated well and the room was lovely, but wish for better food choices.
Our days were memorable.
Definitely one of the best trips

Some Fantastic Days in Safari and City Tour Mombasa
My girlfriend an me had a very good time with WildLife Sun Safaris during our Holiday in Kenia.
First we booked a 3-Days Safari to Tsavo-East National Park and Amboseli National Park for a fair and good Price. Our Driver Thoja gave us a pleasant Ride to the National Parks and also inside the Parks. During the whole Trip we felt save and comfortable in the car and also in the Accomodations. By the way the Accomodations were much more luxury what we expected. If we had questions or a request to Thoja, he always took the time to answer us and to fullfill our request.
Because of the very good Safari Tour we booked another 1-Day Safari to Shimba Hills and a full day City Tour which were also absolutly satisfactory Trips. You will definetely not do something wrong, if you book a Trip with WildLife Sun Safaris. Definetly 5 Stars.
Also many thanks to James who has answered always and very fast to our Mails and Questions. Thanks for the great days in Kenia!

Great experience!
We did a 5-day-safari and had a private car with a really great driver. The whole safari was just great. The lodges were luxurius, we saw all the animals we wanted (even a leopard!) and our driver Mr. Tonya had a huge knowledge about all the animals etc. He always checked his radio device to ensure that we were one of the first buses where lions were spotted and had the best view. We can absolutely recommend Wildlife Sun Safaris and a trip to Kenya whichis, by the way, a safe country (if you do not behave stupidly) which very friendly people.

Excellent company...genuine personal attention in all aspects of the holiday. Strongly recommended.
Wildlife Sun Safaris are an excellent company to use for travelling in Africa.
From the beginning the responses to my communication was prompt, clear efficient and travel requests extremely well priced.
The boss of the company, James , was always there to assist & nothing was too much trouble.
I took a lot of items for orphanages there and James was fantastic in looking after these cases whilst I went off on Safari. He actually transported them from Nairobi to Mombasa where they went to the Shanzu Good Hope Orphanage. If you go do take whatever you can with you and donate to them...they are so poor and don't know where the money is coming from for their next meal. James will take you there or direct you yo another Orpganage in Nairobi. His company is the best ...we had an excellent driver who kept us informed about all aspects and spoke very clear good English.
You can either let James propose your itinerary or he will execute your own intinersry at very fair prices. He is genuine and you do not have to worry .i was surprised that during the course of three weeks we never saw or even heard a mosquito.,,having gone prepared, the Jungle Spray it never came out once even on Safaris.
Once you find this company there is no need to look any further as you will have found the best & I know you will be very happy st the end.
Our driver, Toya was an excellent safe & cautious & even took us to the airport too at the end and we were very sad to leave this great country having found a good company to look after us, seen an amazing selection of animals & animal activities in the wild & can't wait to go back! A big thank you to James and his team for a wonderful holiday,
Contact James..,you do not have to look any further!!
Excellent and unique experience
We had a great and unique time with Wildlife Sun Safaris. Our guide - Ben - was very knowledgeable, understanding and respectful. He could find and point out animals from a very close distance, what made the trip even more exciting. The hotels, we stayed in were amazing. Moreover this was not only experience of wild life, this was a full experience of Africa. We fully recommend this.
