Professional tour operator that excelled our expectations
We highly recommend Sunny Creek Safaris. Maureen is an excellent communicator who replies quickly to emails and ensures that your safari is completely tailored to your requirements. John was a fantastic guide and always made sure we were one of the first to arrive at any big sighting. We saw an amazing number of animals including a leopard, numerous lions, elephants, giraffe, buffalo, cheetahs, a huge wildebeest crossing and even a close up kill. This was all thanks to John's knowledge of the animals and the Masai Mara terrain. Thank you Sunny Safaris for an absolutely amazing trip. We will definitely be back for another safari with you in the future!

Disappointed
we booked for 5 days. We have safari experience. unfortunately we were disappointed. The group is too big, the cars are not comfortable, some drivers seem inexperienced and so you don't see much. And the meals are catastrophic and not generous. In short, everything was counted. and shortened safari times. After Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania, we are disappointed. especially since the Balule reserve is really not terrible with electric cables crossing the area and which takes away the charm of the real safari.

The most amazing experience ever
We did a 3 days/2 nights safari with transfer by plane from Zanzibar. We are a group of 4 and my friend already wrote a review, but it was so good that I also have to write one. It was the most amazing experience ever. We stayed at the Selous Impala Camp and the accomodation was simply perfect. The tents had everything you could possibly need plus the most beautiful view on the river and the woods. The food was delicious and the people working there were amazing. They really did everything to make our stay great, from wake up service with coffee brought to our tents to complimentary laundry (done wayyyy better than what I do at home). The bush babies visiting us in the evening were super cute.
Our guide, Godlisten, was more than amazing. He knows everything about animals, nature, Masai culture, .. he was never tired of answering all our questions (and there were a lot) and was always in a good mood. Godli is also the best driver and was very respectful of the animals and everyone’s safety. The activities we did were one better than the other, and everytime we tought it couldn’t get any better he was able to top himself again. We saw a lot of animals, giraffes, elephants, lions, hyppos, zebras, pumbas, baboons, hyenas, impalas, monkeys, crocodiles, birds, … it was a dream coming true. My personal highlight was having a delicious breakfast by the river, watching the hyppos nearby and other animals drinking a little further away.
I absolutely recommend this safari. Selous Impala Camp and Godli will provide you with the most magical experience ever. The only negative part was that we had to leave :) I would have loved to stay longer.

Exemplary organisation & wonderful choice of locations created a trip of a lifetime! Thanks Rose!
Rose was extremely helpful and responsive from the outset. She provided some excellent suggestions to our fairly woolly brief! Everything was organised to perfection, with exceptionally friendly and helpful guides and drivers in country.
Both Safari locations in Kenya offered very different landscapes, animals and experience, and Tulsa Resort in Zanzibar was relaxing and beautiful.
We would highly recommend Encounter Mara camp in the Naboisho Mara Conservancy; great recommendation by Rose, we saw more wildlife than we could have hoped for, our local guide was amazing, our rented accommodation luxurious and the camp staff friendly and very helpful. We would also recommend Lodo Springs on Loisaba, a very different landscape and out of this world luxury on an escarpment, with mind blowing views; again our guide was wonderful and the service and experience exemplary.
Thank you Luxury Safari Company and Rose for making this a trip if a lifetime for our family.
I would add we are a family of 3, with a 10 year old and everything organised suited both adults and our daughter.

Nothing too much trouble
We used these guys for our summer holiday in Kenya in 22. I have to say we couldn't have had such a great holiday without them. The organised transfers and accommodation for our tour and no matter what we asked for, they were accommodating. Highly recommended

Wonderful way to see Namibia and surrounding countries.
Our drivers/guides (Sammy and Frank) could not have been more helpful. The vehicles were comfortable and we felt very safe with them in charge. The guides were very knowledgeable about the country and personally were very accommodating with our private tour which included 14 family members aged 5-65. We could not have asked for more in the choices of accommodation and the supply of food!

Well planned trip but choice of accomodation was poor
It was a memorable week in Kenya considering a first time experience with African Safari. However, things didnt turn out the way it was expected. Firstly poor accomodation choices haunted the stay with no power in accomodations at Amboseli and Masai Mara where we sometimes woke up in pitch dark rooms in the middle of the night and couldnt charge our camera and mobile devices. On top that we had zero to poor sightings of the main 4 (Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Rhino) which may be our bad luck or poor guide routes not sure. Also extreme long road trips every day were very tiring. I would suggest spend a couple of days or more at each location to get proper sightings as well as better rest between game drives.

Excited tour
My tour was about Masai mara and Nakuru, the accommodation which is reserved was so nice, and also our driver showed us so many types of animals, it was so excited! He was driving well and he knows about national park well. I was with my aunt who can’t walk without cane but the Driver was so kind to take care of her. We appreciate this tour all. Thank you
