Excellent safari
It was 6 nights safari, we visited Samburu, Aberdare, Amboseli, Tsavo West. James
has offered us the best price for this week. We started from Nairobi and finished in Diani beach. Everything was perfect! We saw almost all animals, even leopard 2 times - in Samburu and Tsavo West. Was no any problem, all that James promiced and wrote in contract - have been done. Our driver Jackson was very good guide, After rest on Diani beach we had short 1 day safari in Nairobi National Park, here we met white and black rhino. i recommend travel in Kenya with them, they are honest people and do the best that everything was pleasant to you.

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.

Fantastic last minute safari in the Mara
We decided whilst on our honeymoon in Kenya that we wanted to do a safari in the Mara, James at Wildlife Sun Safari’s was very highly recommended to us and I can fully understand why. We wanted to head to the Mara in 4 days time and because James was so quick at sorting this for us it meant that we were able to get the last 2 seats on the flight.
Due to the planes that take you to the Mara being so small there are weight restrictions on luggage, this meant we were unable to take our main suitcases, James was brilliant with sorting this out for us and arranged for our suitcases to fly to Nairobi with us (We had to pick up some passengers from Nairobi on the way to the Mara), our suitcases were then stored at the airport ready for us to collect after our Safari.
We were given 3 options of where to stay, we chose ‘The Fig Tree’, it was a really friendly and welcoming camp in the Mara. We had a fantastic guide and driver and were also lucky enough to have a safari truck to ourselves.
When we left the Mara we were heading to Nairobi to carry on our honeymoon, James surprised us by meeting us at the airport and had already collected our large suitcases for us.
I cannot recommend James or Wildlife Sun Safari’s enough, he was brilliant from the beginning right through to the end of our trip.
We are hoping that we will be able to return to Kenya in the near future and will not hesitate to contact James to help us organise our trip.

Amazing, well organized and comfortable
We took the safari with Wild Life Sun Safari a couple months ago. Our first trip to Africa as such we didnt know what to expect, how safe it would be etc. James and his team were well organized. James even picked us up at the airport the first night. Made us not worry about being in an unknown place. All our guides were really nice and knowledgeable. They did a very good job at sighting wildlife to make sure we got to see most of the predators. The hotels that were picked were fantastic as well. The guides were flexible with our needs. they even took us for our shopping needs on our last day for special gifts back (we did not want the typical souvenirs and so they took us to special place where they hand make beads and jewellery in Nairobi). The trip was planned out in detail and well thought through
We did have some issues with our vehicle on the Tanzania side where James's partners run the business. The terrain is pretty rough on cars and they can break down easily. But the vehicle they had in Tanzania was pretty old and beat up just increasing its chance of break down. and it did break down. But the our guide was very resourceful and got us into another vehicle to go back across the border. So all in all it worked out great. but this could be avoided if they use better vehicles. In James's interest to make sure your partner on Tanzania side keeps up with your high standards.
My overall assessment will be we could not have asked for a better experience and really were glad to have gone with Wild life sun safari. They are the best and we recommend them to anyone looking for safari in Kenya.

...wonderful experience!!
My husband and I booked 4days safari Tsavo East and Taita Hills with Wildlife Sun Safaris while in Kenya and had a wonderful experience. Everything was very well organizes.The driver/guide Thoya was friendly and nice.
We enjoyed the game drives and he was the first to spot the BIG FOUR and had a very good eye sight.
We stayed 2 overnight at Galdessa /1 overnight at Saltlick Lodge and loved the food and the local people.
I highly recommed the company for making our safari a memorable life experience.

Fantastic - an extraordinary once in a lifetime experience
My family just had our two week Kenya and Tanzania safari. It is such a wonderful experience that we are continuing sharing the trip every day with our friends and colleagues. Our safari organizer Wildlife Sun Safaris (www.wildlifesunsafaris.com) is so good that everything is great. The meticulous itinerary design, the valuable trip advice, the prompt communications, the various services provided to us (for example, one of the luggages was delayed arriving Nairobi and James offered help without hesitation to pick it up from airport next day at 6am), the list goes on and on. We are extremely grateful for all the services and help provided by James and his team for this safari. Our drivers, tour guides and cooks Thoya, Jimmy, Ali, Casey and Jackson are great gentlemen. Not only do they know their job well, they are very considerate and polite. With their expertise and help, we have seen lots of animals including over 50 lions with even a scene four lions killing a buffalo, 10+ cheetahs, leopard, black and white rhinos, hippos, hyenas, numerous elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, all kinds of gazelles, birds, flamingos and our beloved Hakuna Matata warthogs. We'd also like to thank Thoya and Jimmy for sharing their family stories, their job experiences and their hopes at the end of a safari day - It helped us learn about the culture, local economy and ordinary people's life. Thank you Thoya, Jimmy, Ali, Casey and Jackson! Thank you James and your team!
