It was amazing
Our safari with Sunnycreek Safaris was truly one of the best travel experiences we've ever had. From the very beginning, everything was professionally organized, smooth, and stress-free. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy the incredible beauty and wildlife of Kenya.
A special thank you to our guide, Robert, who made this trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and animal behavior was exceptional. He always knew the best spots for sightings, patiently answered all our questions, and ensured we had the best possible safari experience. Thanks to Robert, we were able to witness some truly spectacular wildlife moments that we'll cherish forever.
The accommodations, planning, and overall service provided by Sunnycreek Safaris exceeded our expectations. Their hospitality, professionalism, and genuine care for their guests were evident throughout the journey.
If you're planning a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend Sunnycreek Safaris, and if you get the chance, ask for Robert as your guide—you'll be in excellent hands. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Unforgettable 6-Day Private Safari – Incredible Itinerary and the Best Guide Ever!
We just returned from an absolutely flawless 6-day, 5-night safari, and we cannot recommend sunny creek safaris enough. From start to finish, the itinerary they designed for us was perfectly paced and allowed us to maximize our time in the parks. We were provided with an excellent, comfortable, and well-maintained safari car that made the long drives smooth and enjoyable.
However, the absolute highlight of our trip was our incredible guide, Samuel. He was truly the answer to all our prayers. His knowledge of the park is unmatched—he literally knows it like the back of his hand. Thanks to his sharp eyes, deep understanding of animal behavior, and tracking skills, we were able to check off all our dream, rare wildlife sightings.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, he is a fantastic, skilled driver who always made us feel completely safe on the road. Most importantly, he went above and beyond to look after me and my wife, ensuring we were comfortable, happy, and well cared for every single day.
If you are planning a safari, book with sunny creek and ask for him.
Thank you for making our trip a memory of a lifetime! Looking forward for the next one.

Safaris excellent experience with John
We spent an unforgettable 14 days exploring Kenya’s national parks and reserves with John, and we couldn’t have asked for a better safari guide. His knowledge of wildlife behavior, tracking skills, and keen eye made every single game drive incredible. From navigating the terrain to timing our drives perfectly so we could witness the iconic wildebeest crossing, John went above and beyond every step of the way. He was warm, patient, highly professional, and deeply passionate about Kenya’s wild places. If you’re planning a safari, request John—he truly made this a trip of a lifetime!

An Outstanding 14-Day Safari with John — Highly Recommended!
Our 14-day Kenya safari from July 31 to August 13, 2026, was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of what made it so special was our guide, John.
John is knowledgeable, professional, conscientious, kind, patient, helpful, and—perhaps just as importantly—has a wonderful sense of humor. After spending 14 days with him, we can honestly say that he is one of the best safari guides we could have hoped for.
Exceptional eyesight and game-driving skills
John has an amazing ability to spot animals that we would never have noticed ourselves and to anticipate where they might move next.
On August 2 at Ol Pejeta, around 11 a.m., he spotted 11 lions resting under the trees that none of us had seen. He quickly positioned our Land Cruiser in an excellent spot so we could take photos and videos.
At Buffalo Springs National Reserve, we watched a very cute young leopard resting in a tree. It repeatedly changed its sleeping positions before eventually climbing down. John patiently repositioned our vehicle several times so we could enjoy the leopard from different angles and capture the best moments.
On August 3, 2026, around 4:30 p.m., at Buffalo Springs National Reserve, we watched a very cute young leopard resting in a tree. It repeatedly changed its sleeping positions before eventually climbing down. John once again demonstrated his excellent positioning and timing skills, allowing us to fully enjoy this special sighting.
We saw the same skill with elephant herds, the sunset at Amboseli, flamingos at Lake Nakuru, and the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River. John seemed to have an incredible sixth sense for wildlife!
He puts wildlife before photographs
One moment particularly demonstrated John’s strong professional ethics.
On August 4, during an evening game drive in Buffalo Springs, John found two cheetahs—a mother and her cub. At first, there were only two or three vehicles, and we were enjoying taking photos.
Within about ten minutes, more than ten vehicles arrived and surrounded the cheetahs. The mother tried several times to escape, but couldn’t, while the cub followed behind her looking frightened.
John asked us whether we had taken enough photos and suggested that we leave. He explained that the number of vehicles was clearly stressing the animals. We couldn’t control what the other drivers did, but at least our departure would reduce the pressure on the cheetahs.
We immediately agreed.
That moment really impressed us. John understands that a safari is not just about getting the perfect photograph—the welfare of the animals comes first.
Kindness goes beyond his guests
On August 6 at Lake Nakuru, around 9:40 a.m., we came across a vehicle that had overturned at a dangerous angle. Several safari vehicles were nearby, but John was the first—and, as far as we saw, the only driver—to immediately get out and help the passengers. He helped them get out safely and assisted with directing the situation.
We witnessed at least four similar occasions during our safari when John stopped to help others.
He also regularly shared our leftover packed lunches with hardworking park rangers. These small gestures showed us that his kindness and generosity extend well beyond his own guests.
A very respectful driver
At the Mara River on August 7, John found us an excellent position for the wildebeest crossing. While we were photographing a wildebeest being caught by a crocodile, another vehicle suddenly rushed in from our left and completely blocked our view.
John didn’t argue or become frustrated. He simply repositioned our vehicle so we could continue watching.
We saw similar situations several times in Maasai Mara and Amboseli. Some drivers drove aggressively through crossing animals, sped around other vehicles, or created huge clouds of dust.
John never drove that way. He was always patient, courteous, and respectful of the animals, other vehicles, and other safari guests.
Knowledge, connections—and a great sense of humor
During our 14 days together, we learned so much from John about Kenya’s wildlife, animal behavior, plants, geography, climate, and local communities. He was always happy to answer our questions and share his knowledge.
He also seemed to know everyone! He was constantly communicating with other guides and park rangers by radio. Whenever he suddenly accelerated, we knew something exciting was probably waiting for us!
And John has a fantastic sense of humor. There were many long drives between the parks, but he made those long-distance journeys feel much shorter and never boring. His jokes and funny comments often had all four of us laughing, even when we were tired after a long day.
He knew when to share his knowledge, when to make us laugh, and when to give us some private time. That balance made traveling with him especially enjoyable.
A guide we will always remember
Today is our last day in Kenya, and tomorrow we fly back to the United States. I have already started missing this beautiful country.
Looking back on these 14 days, John is undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend John. His knowledge, sharp eyes, driving skills, professionalism, kindness, humor, respect for wildlife, and genuine passion for his work made our safari an extraordinary experience.
We would also like to sincerely thank Veronica for arranging this wonderful trip for us—everything was perfectly organized, and we truly appreciate her support in making this unforgettable journey possible.
Thank you, John, for giving us 14 days of incredible memories. We will remember this safari—and you—for many years to come!
