experience of a lifetime
from the first contact which was just to check into whether this would be the year to go, it was professional and comfortable, and not a hard or up sell on any level. lisa was AMAZING. everything was clear and covered and we never felt like we were alone or on our own while traveling. she was even supportive and helpful for the loss of our luggage on flights that were not in our package. i would recommend them to anyone traveling to that part of the world. we will definitely use them again on our next trip to south africa. top notch.

Incredible trip
Edward and the team did a wonderful job of arranging our trip. We only had a week to see the some of the highlights of Kenya and Tanzania - Lakes Naivasha and Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorogoro Crater. The Masai Mara was my favourite park. We saw many gazelles and antelope, giraffes (my favourite!), lions, a cheetah and elephants along with ostriches and other birds. Our guide, Ephraim, was wonderful - he had so much knowledge to share about the area and its wildlife; he even helped me learn a few words of Swahili!

The best Safari Tour we ever hat !!
Our Camping Safari Tour with Sunset Africa was a great experience and we will certainly book with Sunset Africa next time again.
The camping material and the car where in a very good condition. First we just wanted to do 4 days Serengeti and Ngorongoro. At the office they advised us to do Tarangiri NP as well, because of the long drive to Serengeti.
We are very glad that we followed this advice, because Tarangiri is a beautifull Park with a lot of Animals too.
On our trip we had excellent and enough food prepaired by our cook Ibrahim. Our driver and guide was Abdul a very nice guy who knew every thing about the annimals, plants, birds, surroundings etc.
They both did everything to make us feel comfertable and give us the trip of our life.
And they did give us the trip of our lives !!!
We can highly recommend Sunset africa as a touroperator, we checked various Touroperators in advance and they were the cheapest !! They offer a lot of value for money.
Thank you guys expecialy Abdul and Ibrahim for this experience and hope to see you again !!!!

Incredible Density of Elephants
We were blown away by the number of elephants we saw during our trip to Tarangire National Park. We sat by a mud hole at one point and saw four different groups of elephants with 20-30 elephants per group come through and take a mud bath. In total we saw at least 200 elephants in just a few hours at the park. There are also many great baobab trees to admire. The variety of animals is fairly low and we didn't see much density outside of the elephants. We saw a few giraffe, zebra, and buffalo. The one word of caution I would give is to avoid East African Safari Touring Company (EASTCO). Our guide was rude, unprofessional, unsafe, and had terrible communication. The owner, Simon, was completely unhelpful when we brought complaints to him. But I'm sure there are many much better companies that can help you explore this beautiful park.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Denis D'Arbela
Well worth the trip off the beaten path. I stay at Broadbill lodge which is a tent overlooking the rainforest. Their hospitality was excellent. Meals were good and the accommodations provided a real coming feel. It rained at least twice a day. The vegetation was marvelous. A lot of Ephiphytes on the tree trunks. We trekked about 12 km roundtrip to see the Gorilla's on steep hills. Be prepared to bring rain gear because we were drenched on the way back. Also be ready physically because trekking can be quite a challenge. Birding was limited because of the tree cover in the Jungle I am sure that would be a separate trip altogether given the time frame of my visit. The Ugandan Wildlife Authority rangers are very versed and professional, and very informative throughout.

A beautiful destination for the nature lover who prefers rugged safari without the luxuries
This my second visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. On my first visit I went on the game drive on the Mweya side and stayed at Mweya lodge which was great. Everything was rated for. Three wholesome meals and great accommodation. I took a boat tour down the Kazinga Channel where I was able to see a lot of game on the lake shore. Which includes Hippos, Elephants, Baffaloes, Crocodiles, and Birds (African Fish Eagles, Pied Kingfishers, Goliath herons, Pelicans, Spoon Bills, Jacanas etc)
My visit this time was at the Kisenyi gate. I stayed in more budget accommodation at the Njovu lodge near Lake Katwe. It was good for the price. I was able to hire a guide through the lodge as I was driving myself. I finally saw three female lioness' which I hadn't seen the first time, and more of the regular game of which included Elephants, Water buck, Uganda Kob, Buffaloes. I was also able to see Flamingoes which I hadn't before at Lake Katwe literally hundreds of them. It was well worth the visit. One needs to remember that every visit is different, and you always see something new every time you go.

An amazing experience in Linyanti
Duma Tau camp is a real gem in Linyanti!
We arrived late and were whisked straight off on a safari immediately such that we didn't see our room in the daylight until we returned from the following morning's safari, when the sun had finally risen. But that deserves a first comment - the room was worth the wait! The double bed was comfortable with effective mosquito net and the adjoining bath and shower were clean, with warm water for showering making things easy.
The safari experiences were fantastic - our guide, Lazi, was a real local expert with knowledge of tracking animals. I appreciate that things can be different depending on your guide but we didn't meet anyone else with a different guide who had complaints during their trip. The thing is, everyone's so enthusiastic that they're looking for the best game so they can see it themselves, and we got lucky seeing leopards, wild dogs, lion prides, lion cubs - it was hard to believe we were only there for three days!!
We would go back in a heartbeat. The service was impeccable, and that's without touching on the food which, like most Wilderness Safari camps, was mouth watering.
A fantastic base in Linyanti reserve.

Review about Uganda by Denis D'Arbela
Got to see the big game Lions, Baffaloes, Uganda Kob, Elephants etc. Birding was limited other than Flamingo spotting at lake Katwe. Over all a great experience.

Perfect Amazing Unforgettable professional comfortable
Eddy and his wife are exceptional. I have been on many safari's and by far I would rate this as the best. They are so accommodating, professional and serve gourmet food. The tents are huge. They supply everything, from bedding, towels, soap, wash basins, warm shower etc. Eddy is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have ever had and he will go out of his way to find the animals. I would highly recommend him. Do not do a private game reserve where they 'plant' the food for the animals. It is cruel. With Eddy you will see Africa, as it should be, in the wild.
