An enchanting experience that is relatively affordable and complete in one package.
SunnyCreeks provided my friend and I with an amazing experience that I truly recommend everyone should try out. They really made the most of the amount whilst not being too expensive. Everything was adequate and good for the price housing, food, safari car, everything! We went with Alex as our driver and guide and he did an amazing job at explaining and talking about all animals that we encountered. Alex really went out of his way to make sure each and every one of us had a good time and that I loved. We were able to spot all big 5. Though I have a few minor concerns over the whole experience.
1. I wish the tipping/fee culture was explained more adequately for someone who comes from a different culture tipping is not the norm however when visiting the masai mara village, then going over the river we were expected to tip, as well as pay a masai mara entrance fee which threw us offgaurd as I didn't expect to spend cash during. (thou the tipping wasn't a lot ~20-40$) I still would have appreciated an earlier headsup. I would have honestly preferred if the price of the package was increased to accommodate the tipping as I found it to be a negative part of my experience. As budget travelers we try to calculate everything involved and these unexpected fees do harm the experience.
2. The third day could have included more activities we visited the masai mara village (took around 2-3 hours) and travelled to the lake to check in. I really think we could have done a lot more in terms of visiting local attractions or just going around in the city or even a group entertainment activity. In the evenings there was a lot of emptiness we wished could have spent better.
3. I wish we were given more tips about pricing and tourism merchandise earlier. Just general tips that help when it comes to bargaining and discussing. We were cheated by the village people who guilt tripped us into purchasing mass produced items that were described as "unique and locally made" and paid 2-3x their usual prices. For many this might be the first thing we try in Kenya so general tips would be nice.
However, the above concerns still did not ruin the experience sunnycreeks is still an amazing provider and I would definitely come back with them again. Even before we landed in Nairobi Maureen made sure our itinerary was correct and that our airport pick up went smoothly. Sunnycreeks gave us nice recommendations of places to enter and spend time as our flights were in an awkward timing. and Maureen made sure our return to the airport went smoothly and even offered us rides to the airport on the way back.

Amazing experience!
Sunny creek especially Maureen is very organized and accommodating. Airport transfer was included even after the end of safari. Our tour guide, Jeff is the coolest, chasing lions and leopards. Highly recommended to all those seeking adventures.

Great experience
Service was excellent! Kikutu was our driver and did an excellent job accommodating our family. He had to work with constant changes to the schedule because of other guests, but he handled it very well.

Incredible experience with Richard, the best tour guide ever!
I done the 4 day safari with Lake Nakuru - cannot describe how amazing an experience this was! I've seen so many wild animals, met some amazing locals and Masai Mara Tribe! I sat and watched a pride of lions eating a buffalo and huge parade of elephants playing doing their thing. It was so good for the soul - I highly recommend. Richard our guide went above and beyond to offer us the best experience, he drove for hours and hours with a big smile on telling us anecdote on different species of fauna and flora. Lake Nakuru was not as impressive as I thought but not the sunnycreek's fault - I think if I was to re-do it I would go for the Gates of Hell instead!

Excellent Experience
This was a great experience overall. I had a 3 night Safari of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and was split between 2 groups as I moved locations. This wasn’t an issue and both guides were great and I would recommend both (Kikitu and Richard). I saw lots of animals, met great people, ate authentic Kenyan cuisine and felt 100% comfortable alone and would recommend this to any of my friends looking for a fun Safari at a reasonable price.

Once in a lifetime experience
Great value for money! The most affordable safari I have ever seen. Maasai Mara is amazing, we saw TONS of different animals and our guide was an amazing driver. Paying a little extra for water and airport transports was very worth it! Made the whole experience simple and helpful. The tent accommodation was much nicer than I expected with bathrooms and showers and mosquito nets, only the others in the camp were very noisy. As a single female traveler, I enjoyed meeting other travelers on the group join trip, 100% would recommend!

Absolutely brilliant!!
Such a brilliant experience, it was all arranged with James over WhatsApp. He was such a gracious host and guide, from collecting us from the airport, the drive to Mara.
We stayed at the Enkorok Mara Camp which was brilliant, the staff were super friendly and attentive, the food was also excellent.
The actual tour was magical, James knew the pack very well and we got to see a lot of animals, in fact, on the very first day of the tour we saw a pride of lions!! We also got to visit a local Masai village which was very educational and eye opening.
Thank you James for an experience of a life time, the trip was definitely value for money.
