Excellent service, Professional, and truly dedicated – an unforgettable safari journey
5/5

Our experience with Sun Safaris, and especially Natasha, was excellent from start to finish. Communication was always clear, professional, and warm – we felt truly cared for throughout the planning process. The lodges matched our needs perfectly and offered an outstanding safari adventure.

Natasha’s support made everything seamless and stress-free, and thanks to her we enjoyed incredible sightings, including all of the Big Five. We deeply appreciated her positive energy and I suggest to adopt the spirit of Peace, Love, Unity & Respect she mentioned – it truly reflects the way she works with her clients.

This was a memorable and well-organized trip, offering great value and reliability. We would gladly recommend Sun Safaris to anyone and hope to return to South Africa again with the whole family!

Exceeded all of my expectations.
5/5

Sun Safaris did an outstanding job arranging a custom itinerary based on our preferences. We really wanted to see a river crossing, which is iffy and depends on the wildlife, so they arranged a tour designed to give us the best opportunity possible at multiple locations. And it worked! Communication was excellent and the trip ran smoothly from end to end. We stayed at high end lodging, so it was not cheap but good value for the money compared to other companies we looked at. We had excellent, very comfortable lodging and outstanding wildlife viewing. The logistics on our trip were fairly complicated just due to the different places we wanted to go, and they arranged it seamlessly. Would highly recommend!

Accommodating, understands our requirement and Natasha has an excellent response time.
5/5

It was a great trip, arranged for us by Natasha. She was accommodating and always made great suggestions which meers our requirement. We enjoyed all 3 places. Umkumbe was excellent
1. Great food. The chef was good with the varieties of spread
2. Good accommodation - clean and nicely made up bed every morning and night when we come back from the Safari. I Love how clean and trusting everyone is. We don’t even lock the doors. It’s only the monkeys we need to watch for
3. Safari - Charlie is an excellent guide. Day 1 was good. day 2 and 3 we didn’t see much but the evening of day 3 - we were so lucky to catch the leapord eating his catch. It’s an amazing picture we took. Also saw good view of elephants walking so close to the jeep. Saw most of the animals there. But did not sight of Rhino / Buffaloes / Lion. Day 4- I skipped but my husband went and he saw elephants
4. We also took the afternoon to Kruger park and Flip was our guide. We saw lion, hayena, hundreds of buffaloes crossings our path and many hyppoes.
Essentially we saw the big 5 in a day. It was a lucky day with excellent weather.

Overall the Bush lodge is an excellent accommodation. Great friendly staff, cleanliness is super perfect, great food and excellent safari guide.

Both Cape Town and Cape Town was also brilliant holidays. Steven was an excellent guide. The day out and around Cape Town we learnt so much and were grateful for such wonderful knowledge and brilliant overview of the town, we saw the penguins, table top mountain and an excellent scenic drive.

Brett was very attentive, helpful, and quick with all requests; I felt safe with his support.
5/5

The hotel is exactly as pictured, beautiful and cozy. It was the most exciting experience of my life, going on safari. Our guide, Sunday, is incredibly knowledgeable about nature and did everything he could to make the tours even more enchanting. The entire hotel staff was always very kind to us. The chef was also wonderful; everything was delicious. I don't have enough words to describe the experience.

We lived our dream
5/5

Brett Thomson and Sunsafaris went beyond our expectations in planning our recent trip. Everything was flawless and so well planned to give us the maximum experience we could imagine. Thie selected lodges were awesome with great staff and guides. They were all top-quality and a pleasure to experience. Selected locations in Nairobi, including the Karen Blixen coffee, gardens, Amboseli and the Massai Mara ( Alex Walker’s Serian Original) were all top notch. We could not be more pleased with the organizing done by Brett Thomson and Sun Safaris

Very engaging wildlife tour in Botswana
5/5

On our 2-week trip to Botswana we were interested in seeing wildlife in a variety of ecological settings. After working with us for a few weeks, Brett put together exactly the right series of lodges, from the northern Kalahari to very different parts of the Delta, then Kwai and ultimately Chobe. The camps and lodges we stayed in were small and very well-run. The guides were uniformly excellent. All the connections among camps and lodges worked smoothly. When we had a couple of questions during the journey Brett responded immediately. We will work with Sun Safaris again for future trips to Botswana and elsewhere in Africa.

The most incredible travel adventure of our lives!!
5/5

t was our first time visiting Namibia and Kruger Park (Sabi Sand Reserve). After speaking with a few travel agencies, we discovered Sun Safaris! Brett’s guidance and experience completely won us over, helping us shape our dream travel adventure.

We spent 10 days in Namibia, exploring the Namib Desert and Damaraland with a mix of guided experiences, flying from one location to another, and finally doing some self-driving on the country’s stunning gravel roads. ;-) The quality of the lodges and the food went far beyond our expectations. The coordination of each step of our trip — from car drop-offs to guides, drivers, and agency contacts — was impeccable.

Our final 6 nights were spent in the Sabi Sand Reserve, specifically at Sabi Sabi’s Little Bush Camp Lodge. Wow — what an unforgettable experience and a lifetime of memories we’ll carry with us.

We highly recommend Sun Safaris, Brett, and his amazing partners at Namibia Tours & Safaris.

An unforgettable adventure, with seamless planning and exceptional communication
5/5

Brett impressed us in every aspect of our safari planning. He delivered an amazing itinerary that was tailor-made for me and my husband. Brett consistently replied extremely quickly during the planning stage as well as during our safari when I had a question. He was very transparent with the pricing and worth every penny. He provided dependable transfers, reliable local guides who genuinely cared, and an unforgettable safari experience. I didn't have to worry about anything more than what to drink at the sundowner. Every part of our trip was perfect!

Knowledgeable, communicative and very helpful
5/5

Planning our safari trip to the Greater Kruger Area in South Africa with Natasha Allan was a great pleasure. Following our first email exchange with her she provided us with several excellent options for our trip and we eventually settled on Kambaku River Sands Lodge in the Timbavati Game Reserve and Umkumbe Bush Lodge at Sabi Sands where we spent three nights in each location. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to initially cancel our trip but later recontacted Natasha to see if it would be possible to rebook. She made an exceptional effort on our behalf to reinstate our lodging and flight reservations and responded to numerous questions we had about our trip promptly and thoroughly. Kambaku River Sands was an exceptional lodge with a highly knowledgeable staff and very nice accommodations. We saw abundant wildlife on the game drives and enjoyed our guide, Palance, whose commentary was both informative and lively. Our experience at Umkumbe was less satisfactory, however, due mainly to the limitations of the game drives that were restricted to the lodge's property which is much smaller than the area available to the Kambaku lodge, which is part of the large game reserve property at Timbavati shared by other lodges in the region. Umkumbe Bush Lodge offers a beautiful garden setting in the camp and the food was quite good, but overall it did not compare with what we experienced at Kambaku. Nonetheless, we truly enjoyed our safari and thank Natasha for helping us organize it.

Very professional, organized and perfectly planed trip to Kenya
5/5

We were a group of 6 and we spent time in Karen in Nairobi as well as Safari at different camps. Our trip was well planned and perfectly managed by Sun Safaris. All properties and guides on safari were top notch and wonderful. Everyone aims to please and there is over the top awesome food, beverages and service. Fourth time in Africa and first time to Kenya and I would return in a heartbeat. Many thanks for memories of a lifetime:)
