Brett - dishonest, took our payment for personal mortgage payment
1/5

We (4 guests) paid US55,600 for our 'trip of a lifetime' only to find that Brett had taken our final payment to pay personal expenses in relation to his mortgage.
Despite being reassured that he would settle the payments prior to our departure from various accommodation providers, we had to pay directly an additional US18,500 to avoid being stranded.
We travelled in October and have been continually promised a refund which has not materialised.

The Owner of Sun Safaris has left us devastated.
1/5

In October 2025, our group of four travelled to Southern Africa on a tour organised by the Owner of Sun Safaris. The trip was required to be fully paid in advance before leaving Australia.

On arrival at our first safari camp, The Old Drift Lodge, we were informed that our accommodation had not been paid for by Sun Safaris. Despite apologies and assurances from the Owner of Sun Safaris, we were forced to pay ourselves using credit cards for accommodation we had already paid for.

Unfortunately, this situation was repeated at the remaining three safari camps, with continued promises from Sun Safaris that were not fulfilled. This caused significant stress throughout what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

After returning to Australia, we continued to seek reimbursement and, despite many promises, we remain out of pocket by approximately USD $18,500. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Sun Safaris and advise future travellers to proceed with extreme caution.
