Best safari company!
We lived in Tanzania for 8 years and started out searching for different safari companies for guests. The first couple of years we were not satisfied with who we used. I was embarrassed to make a booking. Then we found sunset adventure. I went on a safari first to see how they were and they were amazing. First the communication with booking was by far the best I had found. They were good at giving me different prices and ideas for different places. The safari itself was amazing. The guides went out of their way to find us animals. They were excited to share more information about each animal and took their time at each spot. I have been on safaris that feel like the guide is rushing you but this was not my experience with sunset adventures. My children even commented about how nice they were and how much better this company was than others. I have not have a bad experience and will continue to refer friends, family and guests to them! Best company out there.

Very affordable Safari
Last year we booked a safari with Sunset Adventure and it was amazing. Safari in Tanzania is very expensive and we were looking for an affordable trip. We did a 5 day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We loved the lodges and our guide Ben was truly amazing! He was so much fun to be around and he knew lots of stories about the parks and animals. Thanks to Ben the safari was unforgettable.

Great safari, well organised
This was our first trip to Africa. Leona from Sunset Adventure helped us with the itinerary and answered all our questions. We were very excited when we arrived at the airport and perhaps a bit worried because it was our first time in Africa. As promised our guide Patrick was waiting for us and welcomed us. Our 6 day safari exceeded all our expectations. We stayed at beautiful tented lodges which were inside the parks or just outside the park. At night we could hear the animals. We were really lucky with our guide Patrick. He had a good sense to find hidden animals. He mostly took us to remote areas to spot animals like a cheetahs and lions. Good thing he was never in a hurry. We could always take our time to see the animals. We look back at a wonderful trip and hope to come back one day!
Professional and excellent service
We had some doubts about travelling to Tanzania with the current situation but we were so happy we did. We never worried about Covid-19 during our trip. It was easy tot keep a safe distance and in the parks it was very quiet. This was our second time in Tanzania and we enjoyed it so much more. Our lodges were amazing and the staff was so friendly. Our guide Gerard was extremely knowledgeable, We were amazed by how much he knew about the parks and animals. He had a good eye for animals and we saw so much more this time. We also want to thank Leona for her patience with us before safari. She answered all our hundreds of questions which we are very thankful of. Team Sunset Adventure : asante sana for this amazing experience!!!!

Perfect family safari
We booked a safari for two families: 4 adults and 5 children. We did a two day safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro and several day trips. The kids loved the safari but probably the day trip to the Kikuletwa hot springs even more! What an adventure it was. Our guides Ben and Omari were so friendly, they were always on time and the kids had a blast with them. During the safari we slept in a tented lodge in the middle of bush. We never worried for a second because the guides and the staff from the lodge took such good care of us. It was an adventure both our families will never forget. Hopefully we will be back one day!

Perfect experience
Sunset Africa was recommended to us by friends, and we planned our trip directly with Godfrey. Everything was perfectly organized. We had a 10 day Safari, and most of the nights we stayed at public campsites. The sites were basic but OK. We enjoyed being close to nature all the time, and had an amazing experience with elephants walking around the campsite at night and see them passing by our tent. At meal times we were spoiled by our cook Juma. He prepared delicious European and Tanzanian style food. He even managed to bake a birthday cake for one of us. He took perfectly care of us together with our driver and guide Ommy. Ommy had a good humour and was really outstanding. He explained everything to us and showed that he is dedicated to wildlife and the national parks. It was anazing how he spotted the animals in the Savannah and we had lots of time to take photos, get detailed information from him or just look. We saw all the animals we had hoped for. Thanks to Ommy’s intuition and experience we also had the chance to see the river crossing in northern Serengeti. In total this was an unforgettable trip, maybe the trip of my life. A birthday wish became true - thank you.

Ngorongo Crater Safari with Patrick!
We would highly recommend Sunset Africa Ltd. to anyone looking for honest, quality service when embarking on an African safari. After finding our family of five in a difficult situation due to another company’s incompetence, Sunset Africa Ltd. came to our rescue and made sure that we were taken care of. Godfrey, the managing director, ensured that we knew exactly what we were getting so there would be no surprises. Patrick, our driver, was knowledgeable, friendly, considerate, and made sure that we were able to see every possible animal in Ngorongoro Crater. While the kids’ favourites were the zebras, we all enjoyed the wide variety of birds, herbivores, and carnivores. Patrick’s patience, experience and long-standing relationships with other drivers meant that all of us – our kids ranging from teenager to toddler – had a memorable time.
Our sense of being taken care of did not end with the safari portion; Patrick coordinated with Godfrey to drop us off directly at the airport instead of changing vehicles in Arusha (as planned) to make sure we arrived on time. We have nothing but gratitude for the positive experience and are thrilled by the animals we were able to observe in their natural habitats!
Note that Sunset Africa Ltd. further specializes in mountain trekking, camping and lodge safaris, balloon safari, cultural tourism, beach holidays, hotel reservation and volunteering programs.

Once in a liftome experience!
We did an unforgettable beautiful 12-day tented safari with Sunset Africa. We started at Tarangire National park in which we saw, next to the ‘normal’ zebras, wilder beasts, impala’s, giraffes, warthogs and more, an amazing number of Elephants and we had our baptism of fire with lions next to the campsite.
After Tarangire we went to Lake Manyara were spent a day driving along the lake where we saw all kind of animal in het bush and millions of flamingos.
Although the first two national parks were impressive the tour did build up to better and better. Ngorongoro crater is a truly beautiful place where we added hippo’s and (nine!) rhinos to our list. In the Serengeti National Park, we saw a really unbelievable amount of wilder beast and zebra migrating through the area and we completed the Big Five with a number of leopards. Since we had a couple of days in this big park we were able to get away from the standard locations we could really enjoy the various landscapes and the variety of animals.
Next to the wonderful landscape and the number and variety of animals we were spoiled by our excellent driver/guide Ben who was able to spot and identify animals at enormous distances and could tell all kind of background stories about the animals, the parks and Tanzania.
Of course, there are things to improve like a slightly bigger tent and slightly better chairs and diner table but that really does not change the way we feel about this adventure. The car was in good condition and the served breakfast, lunch and dinner was tasteful. Public campsites are basic, but we still feel that our choice for those campsites instead of lodges by which we could add a couple of days to the safari was the right choice. Next time we would consider special campsites.
Guide Ben and Sunset Safari, thank you for this experience and we would like to recommend you to all travellers. We hope to contact you for our next safari soon.

Fabulous Safari experience
We had a great Safari experience with Sunset Africa. We went for a one-week safari in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater before flying to Zanzibar for another week of beach holiday.
Godfrey, with whom we organised the trip, was highly responsive and took good care of all our individual requests. He welcomed us personally at our first evening in Arusha.
Our driver Beni was highly knowledgable on the local wildlife, friendly, a safe driver who takes good care of the jeep and flexible.
Sunset Africa can also arrange holidays and tours in Zanzibar. We went on a great tour through Stone Town with our guide Abraham.
All in all we had an exciting and once-in-a-lifetime experience in Tansania. We can highly recommend Sunset Africa and would happily book with them again in the future.

life time experience. 1 week Safai, 1 week Sansibar beach
we, family of 4, with kids at age 15 and 17, enjoyed this trip very much. The service and care taking of the SunSet Afrika team was really more than we expected. All the way from planning though execution all agreements were met or even deliverd beyond. Great team with very experienced people. Flexibel, reliable and caretaking.
