Very professional and accommodating
Very prompt in the communication . Were able to also arrange a car seat for our child travelling with us. We could not have asked for a better guide than Julius. Highly recommended!

A good safari experience with African Sunset Safaris
A safe trip with good accommodations, good food and experienced drivers who managed to take us to see the big 5.

Absolutely wonderful to work with
My son and I recently enjoyed a 2-week safari through African Sunset Safaris. We had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Haron was extremely responsive to all of my emails and the multitude of questions I peppered him with. He made sure that everything was just right for us and even went out of his way to accommodate our every wish. The animal sightings in both countries were wonderful. We had Gidion in Tanzania and he was such a fun guide to have. I would definitely travel with African Sunset safaris again.
Exceeded our Expectations! Fantastic Tour of Kenya/Tanzania
I highly recommend African Sunset Safaris, a fabulous tour outfit that far exceeded our expectations. Owner & Manager Haron was excellent with communications and very helpful during the tour. He customized for us a 13 day safari in Kenya/Tanzania during the Great Migration. The lodging was tremendous, and our guides -- Julius and Lazaro -- were incredibly experienced, professional, and knowledgeable. We so enjoyed our conversations with them over (exceptional) meals about life in East Africa and the region's many natural splendors. We saw the Big 5. We saw gorgeous birds, baobob trees in Tarangire, stunning sunsets, watering holes of crocodiles and hippos, and huge herds of elephants. Julius and Lazaro were respectful of the wildlife, mostly avoiding the big scrums of tour vehicles while still getting us up close and personal with the animals -- resulting in incredible photographs. If you want to see lions stalking their prey on the foothills of Kilamanjaro, rare rhinos in Nakuru, leopards, cheetahs, vibrant flocks of flamingos, and humongous herds of wildebeest, go with African Sunset Safaris!
Wonderful experience in Kenya and Tanzania. We recommend this company 100%
With 3 friends we hired 10 days of safari with this company and from the first minute they took care of us. In Kenya we pass through the Nakuru National Park and Masai Mara Reserve, then cross to Tanzania through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park. The experience was magnificent. Haron, our tour operator took care of every detail and was flexible to our needs. The accommodations in each park were magical, each with its seal. We had two guides - drivers (one in Kenya – Patrick, and one in Tanzania - Gideon), who showed all their experience and willingness with the group. We were lucky to witness the migration of zebras and wildebeest from Serengeti to Masai Mara! ... simply wonderful. African Sunset Safari exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend this company. In addition, it is a good way to favor local entrepreneurship because this company is from Nairobi.
Con 3 amigos contratamos 10 días de safari con esta compañía y desde el primer minuto se preocuparon de nosotros. En Kenia pasamos por el Parque Nacional Nakuru y Reserva Masai Mara, luego cruzamos a Tanzania pasando por el Parque Nacional Serengeti, Ngorongoro y Tarangire. La experiencia fue magnífica. Haron, nuestro operador turístico se preocupó de cada detalle y fue flexible ante nuestras necesidades. Los alojamientos en cada parque fueron mágicos, cada cual con su sello. Tuvimos dos guias – conductores (uno en Kenia – Patrick, y otro en Tanzania - Gideon), quienes mostraron toda su experiencia y disposición con el grupo. Cada cual se esmeró para cumplir con nuestras expectativas. Tuvimos la suerte de presenciar la migración de cebras y ñus desde Serengeti a Masai Mara!... sencillamente maravilloso. African Sunset Safari superó todas nuestras expectativas. Recomendamos esta empresa totalmente. Además, es una buena forma de favorecer el emprendimiento local ya que esta empresa es de Nairobi.

The service was above and beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier.
The tour was exceptional. The vehicle was spacious and water was provided. They thought of everything

Our 15-day Kenya/Tanzania experience was thrilling and exceeded our expectations.
I read through a few guidebooks and screened several operators listed on safaribookings.com before selecting African Sunset Safaris, owned and operated by Haron Gashao. Their "15-day Best Program for Photography" Itinerary (Amboseli, Sweetwaters/Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Nakuru, Naivasha, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) was near-perfect for what we wanted. Haron is an excellent, personable (even droll at times), professional and knowledgeable guide, familiar with the animals and their habits and therefore an excellent spotter. He can and does go off-road where permitted -- all the better to spot such amazing sights as 3 roving rhinos, a mother cheetah with 4 playful cubs, a pair of mating ostriches, and yet another cheetah in tall Mara grasses lunching on a gazelle. Along the way, you will view every animal possible -- the "Big 5" almost certainly. We saw 4 different leopards along the way, and they can be very elusive. Parades of elephants and giraffes, every antelope-like creature from the tiny dikdiks to the enormous elands. Sure, many lions and hippos. A stampede of thousands of wildebeests. A zillion zebras. Crested cranes and many many other birds. Hyenas, wild dog, jackal, pointy-eared African foxes, mongoose...we even spotted a rarely seen small cat, the serval. Haron is also a very skillful driver of his large Land Cruiser -- important for the often very bumpy and sometimes flooded dirt roads that you will inevitably encounter. We stayed in wonderful lodges with outstanding food, accommodations, and views (e.g. Serena and Sarova properties) and also in a few very comfortable if only slightly spartan tented camps. Haron was good about communicating and answering questions up-front, and adjusted and added to our trip plans per our interests and requests. He seems to have good relationships with the lodges and camps that enable him to get very good value . . . much better pricing than booking through a US company (that would only subcontract with an African operator anyway) and even better than many other African operators that I looked into. Be on notice that Kenyan and Tanzanian guides, per local rules, can only work in their own countries... so that you will have a different guide for part of a 2-country safari. In our case, Haron had promised the highly-praised Gideon for our Tanzania portion, but his Land Cruiser broke down and couldn't be repaired in time. The replacement was a capable and personable young guide, Erick, but the vehicle was somewhat older and smaller. Hey, stuff happens. It also rained a lot the week before we arrived (a month before the annual rainy season). That caused some challenges with huge ponding puddles and mud, and some concern about possible itinerary adjustments, but it all worked out. We had a wonderful and amazing experience. Keep your sense of adventure and sense of humor, and go with the flow . . . with African Sunset.

Wonderful birthday present safari!
There were some communication glitches, but we worked everything out. Our guide on safari was Gideon and he was fantastic. He really took care of everything and gave us a great experience. He was very informative about the wildlife, terrain, and the Maasai culture. I would definitely use Gideon again. This was a wonderful experience of a lifetime!
