Totally recommend
We totally recommend somewhere in Africa for a Safari tour, it was a great trip. We went on safari for 5 days, visit Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater, stayed in camps (which was amazing) and beautiful lodges. Our guide was very experienced, reliable and great company to be with. He did his best to show us the unknown places, which is one of the reasons we have seen all of the big 5! Great communication beforehand while making the booking.

Friendly, helpful, and responsive to our wishes!
We had a lovely safari experience with Sunset Adventure Safari. The tour operator, Emma, was very patient with our many questions and was very quick and clear to provide answers. She was always available through e-mail or WhatsApp to communicate with us. The tour guides were also very friendly and open to our suggestions for our safari experience. They did their very best to accommodate to our wishes. Both Emma and the tour guides were also very open and responsive to feedback. Some planning about the safari experience was unclear to us, but through talking with Emma and the guides, we got the planning straightened out. I suggest you ask about this at the start of your safari so the tour guides can fill you in on the details of the experience.
Overall we were provided with great service. The tour guides really worked hard to show us as much wildlife and scenery as possible, providing very interesting facts and information and answering all our questions. Every night they also set up all the tents for us (since we booked a camping safari). The cook also provided us delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, waking up very early to prepare it all! Some feedback I gave about the camping gear, was to provide extra protection for the mattresses - so as to reduce the dust they collected along the drive - and some pillows - as these were not provided. Again, Emma and the tour guides were very responsive to this feedback and assured us that they would look for solutions to provide comfortable camping gear.
I would say we got a great value for our money with Sunset Adventure Safari. The tour itself was amazing, with many unique scenes. The staff were open to our suggestions and proved their reliability towards those suggestions. I recommend booking with this company as everything went very smooth!

Great tour operator with knowledgeable and friendly driver
Our driver Edward really made our 7 day safari a great and memorable trip. He was very knowledgable about the parks and animals and answered all our questions. We booked the value option but nevertheless accommodations were great, especially the tented camps in Masai Mara and Amboseli, these I would highly recommend to anyone considering a safari tour in Kenya.

Very friendly, flexible and accommodating!
We booked a 5-day budget safari, which included Tarangire, Serengeti national parks, and Ngorongoro Crater. On the first day, our flight was re-scheduled last-minute so we had to be picked up from a different airport, which was fine by the Safari Company. After being picked up, they made sure we had some time to rest and then did a short trek to a nearby waterfall. The safari started the next day and it exceeded all our expectations; the tour guide and the chef were very friendly, approachable and funny. The first two nights we stayed in budget hotels and for the next two in tents near/in the national parks. Overall amazing experience!

One day safari in Selous
Our first safari was cancelled because there was technical problems with the airplane, but they quickly proposed us other dates and we were able to go. Service was great, only minus was, that in the airport we didn't get much info where to go and which was our plane etc. Our guide Anton was amazing! We saw lots of animals. Lunch in the bush was really good also.

Safari with Dixon is a joy!
Went for 2 days to the Masai Mara with lenchada and our driver Dixon. I have been on safari many times before but have never experienced anything like this. Dixon got us up and close to 3 different cheetahs and 5 different lion families. I can’t believe what I saw! He was so relaxed but also stopped when we wanted another photo of an elephant. He taught us so much about the animals and is always on the road so even could tell us stories about certain animals we’d meet along the way

Brilliant guide and a wonderful day in Mikumi
An incredible day all round! We flew early from Zanzibar for the full day our of Mikumi, which included transfer from our accommodation.
Silas was our guide for the day and he really made the day special. His warmth and passion for the park and wildlife was evident from the moment we set off and he has deep knowledge on all aspects of the animals we saw. There was not a single question all day that he wasn't deeply knowledgeable on, plus he managed to engage our kids (6+8) with a range of fun games. They left as experts on African wildlife!
On the day we saw lions, elephants, towers of giraffes (just learned this term), hippos, crocs, and even a 5m long African rock python. All in the stunning landscape of Mikumi.
Transport, food etc all worked smoothly. Joshua and Silas are a great team and I would strongly recommend them to any other visitors!

Excellent
I have been both to the hot spring and Materuni waterfall. Both of them were sensational and I had as a guide Mr T, which is very knowledgeable in the entire culture of Tanzania.
I recommend trying it.

Accommodating and helpful
I contacted Norman rather late the night before we wanted to travel. He was very accommodating and was happy to arrange our tour at the last minute
All was arranged professionally. The usual accommodation was full but Norman managed to arrange alternative accommodation. He was always on tume, happy to make suggestions and happy to Jake adjustments as needed. Cold bottled water was supplied every day Norman made suggestions and gave info as needed. .
The Pilanesburg tour was very interesting and we saw many animals , more than anticipated. The first day we drove in Normans car and for the evening and following morning drove we drive in a series vehicle.
Accommodation was excellent. Pool, restaurant and other activities were available at this resort including rock climbing, scooters .
The Soweto part was interesting, Mandelas house and D Tutu 's house as well as some museums. Also went to Soweto brewery.
A very interesting tour and highly recommended
After the Pilanesburg tour Norman was happy to be our driver and

Everyone was very considerate and nice and gave us a wonderful trip!
We went five girls from Sweden on a private three-day safari and had an absolutely incredible trip. We were picked up at the hotel by a large safari vehicle that drove us to Selous. During the entire trip, we were served good food and always had access to water. We also had the oppurtunity to request what we wanted to eat and the staff arranged great vegetarian dinners for us on our request. We also asked for fruit and got it with every meal.
We went on a boat safari, a car safari and a walking safari. Both the boat safari and the car safari were absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations. We had very nice guides who told us all about the animals and the nature. We would definitely like to do this kind of trip again.
We slept in tents outside the national park. The tents were nice and provided with mattresses, pillows and blankets. It worked very well and it was fun to live so close to the wildlife. There was also access to 2 showers, 2 toilets and good charging facilities for phones etc.
At night, as you can expect, there are quite a lot of insects, so a good mosquito repellent and full-covering clothes can be nice to bring with you. It can also be good to bring some snacks to have in the car if you get hungry.
All the staff on the trip were super nice and it felt like everyone went the extra mile which made us have an unforgettable trip!
