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!

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.

Superb service, amazing Kenya
We are a family with a child of 11 and travelled in Kenya with Wildlife Sun Safaris for 14 days at the end of June. Although it is a low season, the weather was sunny without rains, very pleasant. The tour was very busy. Nairobi - Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Bogoria - Nairobi - Amboseli - Tsavo West - Tsavo East - Diani Beach - Nairobi. We made our tour plan by ourselves based on the example tours at their website. James was prompt to reply to all our emails and the price for the tour was quite reasonable. He personally met us at the airport, in the middle of our trip, and before departure. He organized the tour very well. Our personal driver – Toya - was always polite, precise, and executed the itinerary with no faults. We had a 4x4 Toyota minivan. It is OK on good road and off-road. However, there are some roads under construction. Especially, if you go to Masai Mara you have to drive about 1.5 hour on washboard road. Here we wished we had a heavy Landcruiser. It is more comfortable, but more expensive too. This was our choice. We had an excellent journey and Kenya is really amazing. Don't hesitate to take children with you. It is a safe and comfortable country for the tourists. I was surprised to see no insects. Leisure at Diani beach was the right thing after 10-days safari. Get ready to meet many local people that sell things at beach. Swimming in the ocean is a challenge. We had everything we wanted in this tour. And it was gracefully done by Wildlife Sun Safaris. Many thanks to James and Toya.

Excellent company!
Excellent round trip through Kenia with Wildlife Sun Safaris!
After searching for a while on Safaribookings.com, we have chosen for Wildlife Sun Safaris because of value for money, positive reviews and properly contact with James.
When we arrived at the airport of Nairobi, James was properly waiting there to welcome us. Explained everything very well about how our round trip will proceed and the possibilities for any other excursion. We started our round trip the following day (Nairobi – Masai Mara – Tsavo East – Diani Beach). James was there on time again and we met our driver for the first time for our roundtrip: Thoya which I highly recommend!!
Thoya did his best to show us beautiful animals as much as possible and knows all the roads very well. His English is very good and he can tell you a lot of information about the animals/nature/country if you like. He was very nice to have with us and did not mind doing anything or insist to do something.
Every day he explained what we could expect that day about driving distances (including sanitary stops, etc.), arrival times and how long the game drive will take for example. Thoya was always on time and we got a clean car again every morning!
We had a car with pop-up roof for 8 persons, which was only used by 2 persons. This made it very comfortable during long (sometimes very bumpy) rides. In our car there was no air conditioning which wasn’t an issue for us. I know Wildlife Sun has more cars in their possession so maybe you can ask about the possibilities before.
Bottom line: I can highly recommend to book with Wildlife Sun Safaris who gave us an unforgettable holiday!
Have had great contact with James before our holiday and gave very quick responses. Either a properly confirmation of the paid deposit and remaining amount.
Kenya is a very beautiful country for an outstanding wildlife experience! Especially Masai Mara is a must to visit.
Thanks again to Thoya, James and Wildlife Sun Safaris for our amazing holiday!

A 7-day safari tour at Kenya
Our family of 4 recently took a 7-day safari tour at Kenya. We booked the tour through wildlife sun safaris. James was very hopeful through the entire process. He is very professional and always answers our questions in a timely way. The driver, Jackson, is a very nice guy. He is very experienced and is good at spotting animals such as lions and cheetahs (while elephants are easier to spot of course). Overall this has been a great experience for us and we strongly recommend wildlife sun safaris.
