A fantastic partner for a once in a lifetime experience
Fantastic journey and safari from Nairobi through Amboseli. Our guide Robin was brilliant and knew exactly where to go when. The vehicle, water etc was what we needed and we had a comfortable night at the Sentrim Lodge. A big thanks to Robin, yourself, and your team for the facilitation of a once in a lifetime experience. We’re telling all our friends.

hight recommended to everyone!
On the booking stage Chris supported all the way with itinerary ideas for us to experience the best safari for our requests and budget, very helpful and even after we had a mishap with the payments he managed to find a quick work around
Our Driver “David” was very knowledgeable about Kenya, the route, parks and mostly about the Animal and their habitat, he made our trip very enjoyable
He is also a very skilled driver that made the some atrocious road more tolerable, he told that the Pothole are part of the experience and can give you the best “African massage”, we had plenty of “massages” and while the car (4x4 land cruiser) made easier he surely help to navigate the road puzzle, we was a great driver that I believe the car had an automated gear box and at the end when I pay attention to it I realized it was manual all alone
We been on 4 days (3 night) safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara (2 nights) then lake Nakuru (1 Night) and back to Nairobi, even if the weather was poor we had lost of rain we still managed to see plenty of animals and exactly when and where David told us.
We really had a trip of a lifetime, and we like to thank SunUp Adventures team, Chris and David for it!

Amazing service and experience
We really had the best time during our 4-days safari in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha organised by SunUp Adventures!
The communication with Chris was great, he helped us customise our safari and was always very responsive and kind. He also booked our trains tickets to Mombasa since I could not do it from Italy.
During the safari, our guide David has been simply AMAZING. Not only he was very funny and gave us a lot of information, but he was really able to make our safari a great experience we will remember for ever. He is really talented in spotting animals and went above and beyond to show us the most possible and make it memorable.
We couldn't recommend these guys enough and we really hope to come back one day!

Well organised, tour guide was knowledgeable, once in a lifetime experience
From start to finish the tour was well organised, with responsive messages from Chris who managed our booking and answered all our questions prior to the safari taking place. The safari jeep arrived bang on the time expected and the safari itself was absolutely incredible. Jack our guide was funny, knowledgeable and listened to our requests of wanting to find particular animals. This is what made the experience all the more enjoyable. We cannot wait to do another safari in future as our minds have been blown away by this experience.

Sun Up Adventures did an outstanding job in setting up our trip. Chris was great to work with!
We just got back from Kenya and our trip to Kenya was outstanding. Our party of five had a wonderful time. The accommodations were excellent, the food was delicious, and the staff at each location went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of.
We especially enjoyed the Mara Maisha and Kibo camps, where the environment, facilities, and food options were exceptional. Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort was a good location with a lovely lodge building and restaurant, though the individual rooms were just okay.
The wildlife viewing was incredible. We undertook three excursions: a bike ride through Hell's Gate, a hike up Mt Longonot, and a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. All were very enjoyable, with special thanks to Jeff, our knowledgeable guide for the bike and hike.
Our guide, David, played a pivotal role in the success of our trip. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. David's expertise in wildlife, botany, and Kenyan culture enriched our experience immensely.
We saw a wide variety of wildlife and captured many memorable photos, including lion prides playing and eating, a cheetah hunt and kill, large elephant herds feeding, and close encounters with cape buffalo herds, giraffes, and zebras. David always positioned us perfectly for great pictures, including one instance where we experienced the smell of a cape buffalo kill being consumed by a pride of lions. My daughter and son's girlfriend will never forget that.
David's friendliness and connections were impressive. At every stop, he was warmly received with handshakes, hugs, and smiles from policemen, park rangers, hotel staff, and vendors. His attitude, laugh, and smile made everyone around him have a great time.
Two examples of David's exceptional service stand out:
1. My daughter's bag did not arrive with our flight. David immediately got involved, made several phone calls, and took a trip to the Nairobi airport on Sunday before our adventure. Although the bag wasn't there, he arranged for it to be delivered to Wilson airport on Tuesday. David then drove us to Wilson airport on our way to Lake Sopa resort, securing her bag and allowing us to continue our trip seamlessly.
2. On our last day, Sunday 6/29, our flight left at 11:58 PM. We arrived in Nairobi at approximately 4 PM. David took us to the Sheraton Hotel near the airport, spoke to the concierge, and arranged for us to stay at the hotel for dinner, secure our bags, and have transportation to the airport. This was a lifesaver, providing us with a nice break, a great dinner, and a chance to rest before our long journey home.
When we said our goodbyes to David, my wife, daughter, and son's girlfriend were in tears. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed David's company.
Having had many travel guides throughout my travels, including sight-seeing, fishing, and hunting guides, David is the best I have ever had. We hope to return to Kenya and will definitely use Sunup Adventures again, requesting David specifically.
Special thank you to Chris at SunUp Adventures. He did an excellent job in setting up the trip based on what we wanted and his communication throughout the process was great.
Highly recommend using SunUp!
