Great safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania
5/5

We had a great time in Africa (12 days in Kenya and Tanzania).
Our first tour guide, Ben, said that he was there "to make it count". He and the two other guides certainly made it count.
The general organization of the tour was OK, the guides were present on time on every appointment, great accomodations, good food. All this for a reasonable price.
There were one or two problems but they were quickly forgotten thanks to the beauty of the landscapes and the animals. And that's the most important, we did not think to see so many animals so close and that's a fantastic experience.

1st Safari. Best experience ever.
5/5

Everything was very clear. I had to transfer 50% of the safari value to Haron and the rest I paid to the driver. The driver picked us at the hotel in Nairobi and drived us to Amboseli. The accomodation that we choosed (Kibo) was amazing. Couldn't ask for better 1st Safari. I hope to come back to Kenya or Tanzania and if so, I will contact Haron again to request his services. Thank you very much!! Tiago and Andre, November 2018

Great safari trip, good guides and very enjoyable
5/5

Haron was very communicative via email for the booking and organising of the tour. We visited 4 parks across Kenya and Tanzania, both Paul in Kenya and Peter in Tanzania were great guides, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable - saw lots of wildlife including lions, leopards and cheetahs, and learnt a lot in the process. Had a really great time.
Slight hiccups:
1) a misunderstanding by one of the lodges, but I would like to underline that Haron sorted it out IMMEDIATELY and it was NOT the fault of African Sunset Safaris, the lodge had made a mistake (I mention this despite it having zero negative effect on our trip as it shows how responsive and quick to fix things the team at African Sunset Safaris are);
2) slight disappointment the early morning game drive on the last day in the itinery turned out to be a mistake, but we had seen so much by then that actually not getting up at the crack of dawn on the last day wasn't a big issue!
All the lodges/tented camps (mix of mid-range and a couple of luxury) were amazing, beautiful rooms, attentive staff and delicious food.
Would definitely recommend African Sunset Safaris (and already have done to a friend).
I am going to copy this review to FB and tripadvisor, as some travellers use those forums to double check reputability etc, and I would't want others to be put off by a lack of reviews on either of those - great company, great people, great trip.
Thank you very much for everything!

They were most accommodating to meet my private tour needs adding surprises and a good tour guide.
5/5

Out of all the Tour Operators on SafariBookings.com, African Sunset Safaris was the most responsive, making the extra effort to communicate and ensure that they could do private tours to both Kenya and Tanzania.
And after that there were 100 over emails, at planning stage and later we kept touch through whatsapp. They were responsive and able to provide well needed advice at planning stage as to which National Parks were worth visiting for the unique experience. Prior departure advice on inoculation, currency and trip costs gave me the confidence that they knew their business.
On the word go it was obvious that they cared, from picking us up at the airport to courtesy vehicles and responding to requests immediately, they far exceeded expectations and made us feel totally at home.
Our Tour Guide/Driver in Kenya had 19 years experience and was knowledgeable of all the 7 National Parks we visited and more importantly how to locate the elusive cats. He even went out of the way to include other locations if he thought it would interest us.
He showed his true nature, when I came down with food poisoning, taking me to the hospital and staying with me there and even missing his meal.
We had a very interesting trip, having lunch surrounded by wildebeest, under Acacia trees and taking breathtaking shots.
It was no different in the Serengeti, we changed Tour Guide/Driver who was so clued on because he had a two way radio and shared information on the game with other operators. It was so exciting. My bucket list ticked.

I would rate them 10 out of 10.

Wonderful safari trip to Kenya with a great guide Paul
5/5

African Sunset Safaris organized for us a private 5-day safari trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park, and I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a great safari experience: not overpriced but still very comfortable and flexible in terms of the organization.

The only problem worth mentioning is that the Sarova Mara camp which was included in the offer was not available during our visit, but we were informed about it only after paying 50% value of the whole trip. The tour operator proposed an alternative camp which did not meet our expectations (lower standard than Sarova Mara). Eventually, after a bit of research on my side and several e-mails exchanged with the manager, we managed to find an available camp, satisfying in terms of the standard. So a bit of advice: make sure that your chosen accommodation is available before transferring the money.

Otherwise, everything was excellent. The pickup was on time, the car super comfortable (really appreciated during a long ride on bumpy roads), equipped with binoculars and several books on African wildlife. The route plan, the meals and accommodation was as agreed, they even managed to comply with my dietary restrictions.

And special thanks to our great driver/guide: Paul Ngugi! He is experienced and knowledgeable and at the same time very flexible: he ensured that we saw the Big 5, flamingos, crocodiles and whatever else we asked for. I think we were lucky to have him as a guide during the trip and it was a pleasure to travel with him.

Great safari time in Tansania
5/5

We had a fantastic time in Tansania. Our guide Gideon is a very friendly, open and reliable person who knows a lot about the different national parks and its animals. He picked us up from the airport and spent 5 days with our family in Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara. The jeep was in a good condition and Gideon is a good driver. Extra plus he is a mechanic which is always helpful. We had a lot of fun with him, the kids (12, 15, 18 years old) loved him and everything was organized very well by Gideon. We can fully recommend African Sunset Safari as a very well organized and reliable company. Even Haron the owner came from Narobi to Arusha in order to say hello to us personally.

Excellent safari experience with African Sunset
5/5

Only positive memories and impressions we have after safari in Kenia and Tanzania with African Sunset. Starting with our meeting in Nairobi airport, then during safari in Naivasha, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and till the end in Arusha airport - always in time, nice lodges and camps, good 4x4 vehicles. Our manager Haron was answering all our questions fast, offered reasonable price. He personally picked us from the airport and presented nice gifts from the company. Later he accompanied us during crossing of Kenia/Tanzania border. Special thanks to out guide in Tanzania - Gideon. He has perfect knowledge about all animals and birds you can meet during safari, he is a good storyteller and easy person to communicate. And thanks to him we had a chance to meet all animals we wanted.
Thank you, African Sunset safaris, Haron and Gideon. I strongly recommend going to safari with you.
