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.

3 day Taita Hills and Salt Lick
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wildlife Sun Safaris. I made a request through the Kenya Association of Tour Operators website and James responded promptly. We agreed the itinerary by email. On arrival in Kenya, everything was well organised and delivered exactly as promised. The driver/guide was experienced and knowledgeable, and he took care of all the details.

Great safari in Maasai Mara!
We (a couple in our late 20's/early 30's) booked a 3 day/2 night safari in Maasai Mara with Wildlife Sun in August 2016. We had a great experience and highly recommend the company. The whole process of selecting a safari operator is stressful, but we found James to be very straightforward and professional when we communicated with him. Based on that and some good reviews online, we decided to go with Wildlife Sun and were very happy with our choice. (Note the company is based out of Mombasa, but they also operate in Nairobi.)
We were staying at an Airbnb in Nairobi, rather than one of the standard hotels downtown, but there was no problem picking us up. James offered us two quotes: one was a standard budget option, and the other was a bit more expensive. We chose the slightly more expensive option -- we stayed at a small, charming camp in Maasai Mara called Fisi Camp and had the safari vehicle to ourselves. Fisi Camp was a wonderful place: we were lucky that the manager of the camp decided to accompany us on our safari, so together with our driver from Wildlife Sun, we had 2 pairs of expert eyes to help us find animals. We were also lucky to see some rare sights like lions feeding, and a cheetah with young cubs. Throughout the trip our driver was very friendly, and very knowledgeable about wildlife in Kenya.

I highly recommed the company for making our safari a memorable life experience.

Excellent Safari Experience
My son and I enjoyed a 4 day safari with Wildlife Sun Safaris. I posted a request on the Kato website asking for a safari from Nairobi to the coast. James responded with some suggested itineraries, after a couple more emails we decided to visited Amobseli National Park and Tsavo East National Park. James met us in Nairobi and introduced us to Jackson, our driver/guide who drove us from Nairobi, through the parks, and dropped us off in Diani Beach four days later. Jackson was hardworking and tireless, he is a great game spotter as well as driver and he made sure we saw a lot of animals and took hundreds of photos. We stayed in the Sentrim camp outside of Amboseli and the Sentrim camp inside Tsavo East. Both camps were very comfortable and the staff were friendly.

Professional and perfect service for my unparalleled 8 days.
It was my first time in Kenya and I was lucky to choose wildlife sun safaris. and our guide Jackson.
Immediately after leaving the airport we saw James waiting for us. He wanted to introduce us to our guide Jackson and the general itinerary which was a great start.
Our guide Jackson has more than 20 years of experience, he is very professional and he never breaks the safari rules. At Amboseli the elephants were trying to cross the road, but many cars were blocking the road to get the closest shot of the elephants, Jackson stepped away a bit to let the elephants have more space, and dozens of elephants chose to cross right in front of us! It was a pretty spectacular scene!
In the Masai Mara we saw cheetahs feeding, many cars chose to leave after the cheetahs had gone far away and Jackson managed to predict the cheetahs' route, he led us to the two resting cheetah brothers under a tree, just a meter outside our window.
I forgot my camera cover in my life jacket at nivasha and when I got back to the hotel I realized my mistake and Jackson went right back and got it back for me he was really nice! Even though our English was not very good he did his best to help us and the ride was very smooth.
Also, I am very thankful to James, the hotel we booked in Lake Naivasha was not available due to special reasons James helped us to change to Naivasha sopa, which was the best and most enjoyable hotel we stayed in the whole trip! He could have switched me to a worse hotel but didn't. He also called us directly to explain when there was a problem, which was very reassuring.
Leaving Kenya was very upsetting, we didn't get to see the leopards and the black rock boy lions and sara boy lions that I wanted to see on this trip, but I don't feel bad about that because it will be the reason for my next meeting with Wildlife sun safaris, Jackson, and James.

Third time to Kenya
This is our third time traveling to Kenya. We designed our itinerary according to our preferences, and "Wildlife Sun" was able to accommodate our requests and make flexible arrangements. The price was also reasonable.
As always, every visit to Kenya is unforgettable. We would like to express our special thanks to our guide, Jackson. He not only took care of our transportation and meals but also, with his extensive experience and knowledge of animals, successfully predicted the direction of animal movements in the distance several times. As a result, we were able to observe the animals from the best possible distance, especially getting up close to observe the behavior of lions and cheetahs, which was truly thrilling. It's worth emphasizing that during our time at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, due to our interest, we were really keen on seeing Ankole cattle. Jackson tirelessly searched for them until the very last moment. Finally, just before leaving the conservancy, we successfully found the Ankole cattle, and we even had the opportunity to get up close to them, which was truly moving.
We will definitely return to Kenya, and we hope that next time we will still have Jackson as our guide.

The safari tour was very enjoyable and organised. We had a great experience!
My husband and I had a very comfortable stay at Salt Lick Lodge and had an amazing Safari experience with Wildlife Sun Safaris. The communication with the company was very efficient and clear. Our tour guide, Hemed, added to our experiene as he was very knowledgeable about the animals and we had a very fun time on our game drives. He made our experience very enjoyable. Everything was organised in the best way which allowed us to see a great variety of animals on our drives.

Professional, thoughtful and experienced.
My wife and I booked the 4 day Masai Mara trails with Wildlife Sun Safari's to see the great migration in Aug 2023. We had some issues getting into Kenya which might have delayed our trip and the team were happy to be flexible around our dates, but luckily we were able to arrive on time and proceed as planned.
While on safari, our guide/driver was very experienced, knowledgeable and respectful to the wildlife we were viewing. We really appreciated that he followed the rules and didn't drive off the designated tracks to chase animals like other tour operators did. We had a great time on safari and saw heaps of wildlife, including the great migration, and were well looked after thanks to the team at Wildlife Sun Safaris.

Wonderfull experience thanks to Wildlife sun safaris
We went on a 8 days safari together with our 2 children of 6 and 8.
On the first morning we were picked up at the hotel in Nairobi.
There the consultant James explained the journey and introduced us to the driver Toya. Both very nice and experienced guys!
From there we went to Masaai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. At the end our driver dropped us off in Diani beach. Toya was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and where to find them. We saw 3 leopards!
Every location and accommodation was of excellent choice and very affortable.
We had the best time thanks to this organisation and can recommend them to everybody!
