Warm and friendly Guide willing to do whatever was most important to us
Thomas was Great in setting up visits with the wild dogs and rhinos in Mkomazi. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. Wonderful visit to the park where are we saw lesser kudu and oryx as we had hoped. Great trip!

Good price and so much fun!
I was in a group tour, although I wasn't staying at the same hotels with the rest of the group, but everything went great, thanks to our driver Gibson and other organizers, we left there with many unforgettable memories!
The price also was more reasonable compared to other tours!

6-day Safari: Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Pros:
- fast and easy communication with Best Days.
- experienced, knowledged, motivated and patient guide/driver (Jackson), who also took us on less frequented routes.
- accomodation (staff and food): octagon lodge and tukaone camp.
Cons:
- lunch box: the selection of food of the vegetarian option was not great.
Extra:
Remember wearing light colored (beige/caqui)and long clothes against tse-tse flies. Also a hat is recommended.
Be aware that you may be asked to pay in cash. If you prefer to pay by card, take into account that a 5% surcharge is applied.
All in all, we were happy with the trip. Therefore, we would recommend to book your safari with Best Days :-)

Experts in their field
Our experience was good, in spite of some difficulties in communication due to last minute unforseen facts, lapses of concentration and maybe a lack of clear objectives on our side.
The best of our trip were the safaris with our guide Raymond, an expert in finding animals no matter the hidden they could be. With him we got the sense of adventure, driving through the savannah and learning about wildlife.
You could say he is frugal, but he has a great sense of humour, he is supportive and sensible. We really recommend him.

Beautiful trip in Kenya and Tanzania with African Sunset Safaris
The rating would be 4.5 starts if I could select that. Aaron and the entire team were professional and reliable and we felt taken care of during the transfers from Kenya to Tanzania and back. We communicated the whole time via WhatsApp and the entire team was very responsive.
There were some hiccups with COVID testing and some coordination with the payment (issues with the $100 bills) and final transfer back to Kenya, but a lot of COVID planning is difficult to do with constantly changing regulations. Aaron did take care of us after all and helped us get all of our tests needed before returning to the US.
We had a great time on the safaris and saw more than we were expecting, including a serval. Both Aaron and Geoff were very good at communicating with other guides and taking us where all the action was. We all throughly enjoyed the accommodations we stayed at (especially the camp in Serengeti) and the wildlife we were so lucky to see. It was, overall, a truly memorable trip and we’re grateful to the African Sunset Safaris team for making it happen. Would recommend.

Exotic
the safari was very well organized with a great guide, very nice and funny, with a great cook who made us lots of good things including pancakes, lasagna, vegetables, good meals...the organization was perfect and excellent value for money, the only downside is that they told me to take only a sweater for the cold nights but it was 8° so you have to bring good fleeces plus a hat and gloves because their duvets are very thin..
caring and competant
the driver was good and safe knew his stuff in the field always on time it was a clean toyota landcruiser just the job plenty of water provided on the journey
the distances between each venue (national park) were huge but the main roads are good once away from nairobi
the hotels and lodges chosen by the team were all good with proper mosquito nets and sprays and good food and drink .
i would definitely go with this friendly team again

Very understanding and Fun
Lake Manyara, Tarangire, & Ngorongoro safari.
I had a family trip to the Tanzania national parks with shayona safaris. We had no issues booking the trip and all our amenities and requirements were met. Our guide was fluent in English and knew a lot about the wildlife. The hotels chosen for us were beautiful and had delicious courses. Our safari cruiser was top notch! We had charging sockets next to each seat and chilled drinks from the freezer! Overall the experience was fantastic. The owner Mr. Ajay is a very reliable and made sure our safari was going smooth through the trip by checking with us. Would surely recommend this company.
