Great safari, honest & fun people
I loved this safari adventure! It is amazing when you see all of the animals (and so many) up close! But you have to remember this is real and not Disney. You have to work to find the animals sometimes. Sunrise Travel helped us see all of the “big 5” ... we got up close and they were also aware of our safety at all times. You need to know you can trust the tour operator, and these guys were so great. Plus, they took care of all of our tent camping and making delicious food. I made long time friends with one of the operators, Issa, and I hope you have the pleasure of booking your trip with him!
Climbing kili was amazing, doing it safely, even better
Now it is very popular to climb kili. It makes it seem easy and in some ways it is because it is not a technical climb. But you have to realize you are going to 20,000 feet! Next time you are in an airplane, realize how high you are. I was excited but a little afraid because I have asthma. African Sunrise Travel made me very comfortable. We all took it slow “pole pole” and on some times when I needed extra help, they helped me but didn’t make me feel like I was Standing out. I also paid a small amount of extra money (around $80 USD I recall) to have a porter to just help me with my backpack and water. It does help a lot to know you don’t have to carry 20 lbs all day! My guide was Issa and we still stay in touch today. I know the people who work for this company are trustworthy and will do their absolute best to create an amazing and safe experience for you! I have been on all 7 continents and this was the most memorable exceptional experience of them all!

Our excursion to the waterfalls and coffe plantations with Issa was amazing!
Thanks to our guide Issa, who is very professional, patient and friendly we had a very good & special time together in the lovely area of Moshi, with the beautiful waterfalls and interesting tour about organic coffee. We learnt a lot about Tanzanian culture, shared experiencies and laught & sing together while relaxing ourselves.
Very recommended tour for everybody.

Awful vehicle
After checking potential tours and their providers through the African Safari website, my husband and I recently booked a 3 night, 4 day safari tour to Selous and Mikumi with African Sunrise Travel. Their price was USD 980 (incl bank fee) per person +USD40 for the driver-guide, similar to other quotes we received.
Not everything was as described ( e.g., the Mpingo Lodge did not have WiFi), but the vehicle was a modified Landcruiser. However, we needed two vehicles: the first one was ancient (mid-eighties?) and a complete wreck. Rundown, inside and out. No thread on the tyres. Dangerous and not road worthy. It broke down within 15 minutes, and we had to wait for an hour before we were back on the road again with a replacement car.
The second vehicle was also very old but marginally better, at least the tyres were good. However: the air conditioner was not working, and therefore we were exposed to breathe in dust for most of the journey from Dar Es Salaam to Selous and from Selous to Mikumi (I am not referring to the game drives!). Our near new suitcases, other luggage items and ourselves were coated in a thick layer of dust. Nothing worked on the instrument panel. The odometer’s reading was stuck at 467000 km, no idea when that was. The seatbelts were only lap belts and therefore inadequate. There were no hand grips to hold onto.
In short: the tour was uncomfortable, unhealthy and unsafe.

The Kili Challenge, Short & Sweet Safari
Went to Tanzania on 4th January and climbed kili from Lemosho route and then went north of the mountain and ascended up from school hut. It was a beautiful 8-day trip and I would highly recommend this route up. Had some beautiful views over Shira and as we went north some views of Kenya. The porters were absolutely fantastic. They were charismatic in their duties and all extremely happy! The preparation before we got on the mountain was brilliant. As well as the organization leading up to the climb. Food was marvelous going up, it really surprised me! Tents were very stable. All in all, I was looked after very well and enjoyed myself an enormous amount. The Safari was great, went to Tarangire which was an immensely beautiful place and saw a bundle of the big 5. Also went by Lake Manyara which was a very personal experience with the animals. Finally, I finished in Ngorongoro which was absolutely beautiful, brought a tear to my eye! The beauty was overwhelming and you would be an idiot not to go! The accommodation we stayed in was fantastic and my guide on this safari was super amazing. Kudo to Erasto

Wonderful 7 day Safari with African sunrise travel
My husband and I recently embarked on a trip to Tanzania, arranging the entire journey through African Sunrise Travel. From the outset, the team demonstrated excellence, meticulously crafting our itinerary and readily addressing any inquiries we had leading up to our departure. Upon our arrival in Tanzania, we were introduced to Daniel, our guide, and his trusty modified Land Cruiser. Daniel proved to be nothing short of exceptional. His profound knowledge of the wildlife and the regions we traversed was remarkable, and he graciously fielded countless questions, no matter how trivial, with unwavering patience.
Under Daniel's expert guidance, we were fortunate enough to witness the famed Big Five and a plethora of other wildlife. His keen eyesight was invaluable; we marveled at his ability to spot animals that would have otherwise eluded us. Moreover, Daniel's prowess behind the wheel was unparalleled. Despite the rugged terrain, he navigated with finesse, humorously likening the bumps to a "free African massage." While others encountered mechanical issues, Daniel's vehicle remained steadfast throughout our journey.
During one memorable day in the Serengeti, we encountered an unexpected storm. Yet, Daniel's calm demeanor and leadership ensured our safety as he expertly led the group through the challenging conditions. Without hesitation, we highly recommend booking a safari with African Sunrise Travel and specifically requesting Daniel as your guide. Our experience was nothing short of extraordinary, making it the best holiday we've ever had.

Great Safari, a dream coming true
We did 1 day safari in the national park of Tarangire and it was absolutely wonderful ! You will stay the whole safari trip with your guid/driver. He was just perfect with us, we told him what kind of animals we prefer and he was looking to the right roads to find them and make us happy !
When he got the information that a couple of lions is appearing, without any hesitation he drove us to the place to see them (lions are rare in tarangire park).
You can easily see elephant, zebra, buffalos, monkeys.
Note that the park cant be visiter in 1 day, if you want to see more and visit more places of the park, you should fake more days.
The price was good depending to the time to go there and return home, and the experienced guide we were with.
The lunch is included and binoculars are furnished during the trip.
The guide can answer about your questions and wondering in cas of need.
About the communication, the guide was speaking english.
You will stay in the car during the whole trip but you can open the roof and see well the park, animals etc…

Outstanding and Unforgettable
For our 5th anniversary my wife planned a 4 day safari to the 3 best parks in Tanzania -Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti with African Sunrise Travel; a wonderful local tour operator managed by Amos. It turned out to be a really great safari experience with Anderson our guide. His breadth and knowledge for Tanzania is unparalleled, answering our tirade of questions exhaustively and still kept us captivated at all times. It was very relaxing staying at some of the best lodges with all our needs catered for by excellent staff, fine dining in amazing wild & free atmosphere.
I will live to remember this trip. Thank you very much Amos and Anderson. You guys are the best

Professional and Expert Guide. Very Well Arranged
I had gone on other safaris and the success of a safari depends a lot with the guide and prior planning. None of the previous guides come close those of Anderson of African Sunrise Travel as experienced during the 5 days we were with him in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Anderson was exceptional, he kept the vehicle clean and well stocked with cold water/refreshments. His 10 years plus experience was evident from the way he knew best spots to find the animals, how to position the vehicle for so that we could get nice photos. We cannot also forget to mention Amos the owner who had done all the groundwork to arrange the whole trip. Even his lodgings selection was very good and priced within our budget.
Our safari was an incredible experience thanks to African Sunrise Travel.

We Endorse African Sunrise Travel
We traveled with African Sunrise Travel to Tanzania. Amos the owner assisted us with the plans and everything worked out perfectly. He made all the arrangements in Tanzania from transfers, accommodation and all the activities.
Our guide was Anderson. He showed us lots of animals including some memorable encounters like a cheetah on our vehicle, lions mating, hyenas fighting off vultures over carrion, elephants crossing Tarangire river, rhinos in Ngorongoro…… We loved that Anderson is a birding enthusiast like us and we enjoyed watching so many different bird’s species.
It’s been great all the way with African Sunrise and we have no reservations recommending them to fellow travelers.

Once in a lifetime experince
If you are planning to go on a Tanzanian safari then look no further than African Sunrise Travel. Thomas, a driver-guide gave us an amazing time on safari. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater where we experienced wild Africa at its finest. There were lions, elephants, hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest and so many others.
Thomas is highly knowledgeable about wild Tanzania and answered our many questions with a lot of patience, explaining so much from his past experiences in the parks. Aside from the highly experienced driver-guide, Amos was wonderful during the booking process. It was a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.
