One of our top trips ever!
I have to say, our trip was one of our most memorable and fun trips ever. We had been on safari years ago through another operator and were very disappointed. But Natasha did not disappoint. The lodges we stayed and the hotels she chose were spot on. In addition, our transfers were flawless. The one time a driver was running late because of a traffic jam, we were told when our flight landed and had an easy solution. Natasha really knows South Africa and also really spent the time to craft a trip that was right for us! It was a milestone birthday for my husband, so this mattered! And everyone knew where we stayed and he was treated to cake, singing, etc. And can I say the animals are just amazing!!! Thanks to Natasha and the team!

Top-Notched service from Natasha at Sun Safaris
Natasha has been exceptionally patient, enthusiastic and resourceful in dealing with this safari booking. It took over 3 years and more than 150 email messages for this trip to materialize. The original booking was made prior to the pandemic with deposit held by Sun Safaris. Natasha was able to put together a wonderful 10 day luxurious African safari within a reasonable budget, beating the price of big bus premium tour.
We travelled as a multi-generational family of 6 , from age 9 years to age 79.
We had a superb time in South Africa and we made a lot of good and fond memories.
Overall , everything was top notch and all the transfers were seamless and the drivers were on time.
We especially like all the accommodations that were suggested by Natasha. Each has its pros and slight cons.
Victoria and Alfred hotel, Capetown for its location- at the waterfront , you can't beat that. So near all the restaurants and attractions.
Shimungwe Lodge, Thornybush Reserve- Great for family as we can have the whole resort to ourselves except for one night. Exceptional food and game viewing. We are able to see all the big 5 for 2 days.
Slight cons- ants infestation outside 2 of our rooms ( I think this can be dealt with). It will be nice to have bathroom slippers and bath robes as the nights can be cold. In addition , if the lodge can offer free local beer, drinks and liqueurs that we really differentiate it and make it a high end luxury resort . That is only because we were able to compare with lodges that we went to 15 years ago eg Mhondoro lodge , Madikwe safari lodge and Thakadu camp. They were all recommended by Sun Safaris.
Victoria Falls Safari Suite, Zimbabwe - Beautiful and unusual hotel. The 2 bedroom suites were really nice. We love the all inclusive package.
Special mention - we really enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Zambezi Explorer esp with the all inclusive drinks and canapes. This makes it more exclusive and luxurious.

Another fantastic African safari experience perfectly organized by Natasha at Sun Safaris.
My wife and I have just returned from our third trip to Southern Africa and the third time we have entrusted the organization of the safari portion of our trip to Sun Safaris. This time we were assisted by Natasha. As with the 2 previous trips everything was organized perfectly without any problems whatsoever. We found Natasha to be extremely helpful, reliable and returned all our correspondence promptly. It is our experience that the pricing from Sun Safaris is fair and reasonable. That applies to the 2 previous safaris as well. That is why we continue going back to Sun Safaris.
We plan to return to Africa in the near future and will most definitely be using Sun Safaris and Natasha to organize our safaris.
We do not hesitate to recommend Sun Safaris, and Natasha, to anyone who wishes a well organized and hassle free safari.

Excellent safari experience. Natasha was amazing at helping me with everything!
We had a FABULOUS time on safari in the Greater Kruger in South Africa.
The staff at both camps (Xanatseni and Tangala) were very friendly and helpful.
The lodge and tents were beautiful and the camps themselves were super nice.
Our drivers and trackers were so good at their jobs.
We were able to see the Big Five and the Ugly Five along with many more animals, including rare wild dogs.
We got up close and personal with all of the animals. We were amazed at the way the trackers were able to find hidden animals, like many lions and leopards.
We were also able to see baby elephants, lions, hippos, buffalos, and also a baby leopard. I loved watching the babies playing and trying to do as their mothers were doing.
Overall, this was much better than I could have ever imagined and the best trip ever.
Thank you so much to Natasha for booking this trip. She always responded to all of my questions and issues promptly.
Everything went very smoothly, and I didn't have to worry about anything.
I will definitely recommend you and your company to my friends and other family members.

Ticked all the boxes we sought in a Botswana holiday
Brett organised a bespoke tour for our family based on a few requests to see diverse locations, learn about the local culture and to have an adventure that engaged the family . The tour fulfilled all our requests and exceeded our expectations. The camps were exactly what we sought, being small personable and unique and well situated in the game areas. The days allocated to each was great and we didn’t feel we missed out anywhere. Unbelievable wildlife including lions, zebra migrating, leopard, elephants and hippos. Each destination on the tour gave us opportunities to see different ecological zones and life. We didn’t have any hitches with transfers despite moving between several locations by land air and boat. Great value and reliable service. We would highly recommend sunsafaris to others and already are looking to book another holiday!

Brett is knowledgeable and has terrific connections
Everything was incredible, for me it was truly a transformative experience. Everyone I met was polite, helpful and loved sharing their knowledge. They created lasting memories and I saw amazing animals, experienced super close encounters and was witness to nature at work in the bush. This was my first time as a solo traveler on a different continent; I was well cared for and felt safe the entire month of my journey. My heart is so happy!

Our Safaris where gréât and so was the choice of camps.
The timing was respected and the staff in the camps very professional and sympathetic.

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful!
Natasha was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were travelling with a group of 13 and she made our entire trip effortless. Even when we had airline delays from the U.S. she changed our internal flights in S.A. without any issues.
We did 2 different safaris and then 6 days in Cape Town. We didn't have to worry about a thing, Natasha had taken care of every little detail for us. Would highly recommend using Sun Safari's for your best vacation ever!!

Sun Safaris (Brett) was excellent to work with her extremely knowledgeable,competent & communicative
Brett was extremely reliable, prompt with answers to questions and very knowledgeable. We had researched where we wanted to go and he booked our safari and air travel for less than we could directly. His arrangements and communication took all the stress out of going on an unfamiliar kind of trip. We would highly recommend Brett and Sun Safaris based on this experience (and Sun Safaris was recommended to us by a friend who was also a very satisfied customer.)

Excellent City & Bush Holiday Experience!
We worked with Natasha at Sun Safaris to plan our 12 day ‘City and Bush’ family holiday. Our trip exceeded expectations! We loved Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the Wine Country. The Lawhill Apartments in Cape Town were an excellent choice - well located in the V&A Waterfront, nicely appointed, clean and excellent guest services. Natasha coordinated transfers and day trips in Cape Town and for the Safari camps - all very professional and knowledgeable.
Our safari experience was fantastic. Simbambili Game Lodge at Sabi Sands was a highlight of our trip - it was wonderful and I would not have changed a thing. The staff, food, environment, bush drives - everything - was absolutely perfect! We also enjoyed Jackalberry Lodge. Between the two lodges we saw so many animals and learned so much.
Natahsa was such a pleasure to work with and her knowledge of Cape Town and Safari was so helpful. She was very responsive, and coordinated all of the details that resulted in a memorable, seamless holiday experience. I highly recommend Natasha and will definitely use Sun Safaris again when we are ready to plan our next adventure!
