Life changing experience
I started at Victoria Falls and travelled through Botswana and Namibia, camping for most of 21 nights. I was a bit apprehensive as my trip had been delayed 3 years, but Bruce and Grace's communication was helpful, friendly and positive and made me feel happy.
The trip itself was magnificent, it surpassed any expectations I had. My guides, Patrick and Moses were knowledgeable, humorous, hard working and catered meals to a high standard. I was well briefed each day about the itinerary, what to expect and lists of highlights. Geography, political and social information as well as superb information about the wildlife was constant and I gained such insights. I was comfortable in my tent and in the van - P and M always made sure to check I was okay.
I really felt like I saw what was special, the itinerary was well set. I left Livingstone and Africa feeling like I left home, with a love that grew because my experience was so enriching. I can't thank Sunways, Patrick and Moses enough for the experience of a lifetime. My tour was NB21 and I would do it all again - though I have been told of the Malawi Mozambique tour and am saving my pennies.

Great safari, bush walks and hiking!
Our hiking tour through South Africa, Swasiland an Zululand was wonderful. Our guides Colly and Cloud from Sunway did a fantastic job spotting moving rocks as animals from far away, sharing all their huge knowledge about wild animals, history and living conditions with us and showing us very beatiful scenery on our hiking tours. They are very kind guys, well organised, excellent cooks and deal with all upcoming questions in a way everybody can feel well.
The accomodations were fine, it´s a good idea to stay two nights and than move on to the next. The small group of five made the bus to our mobile living room.
Thank you so much for the gorgeous experience!

Ivory Route - fantastic
We have just returned from the 2-week Botswana & Zimbabwe Ivory Route, which exceeded our already high expectations (we have traveled several times with Sunways). The route was well chosen and the activities as well. The accommodations were all good, Hyena Pan was again fantastic with the many animals at the waterhole. The travel times were long but absolutely in order. Our highlights were:
- Matobos National Park, where we were only a few meters away from the rhinoceros (mummy, dad and baby)
- Moremi Game Reserve, where we have seen a young leopard have torn a little impala
- Shakawe - Okavango Delta, where we spent a night on a houseboat
- Maun - the flight with the open helicopter over the Okavango Delta (at his own expense)
- Chobe National Park, where we have seen a lot of elephants and of course a leopard with its two babies.
We will never forget this trip - our honeymoon.
Many thanks to Sunway Safaris and our two guides Chris Zvidzayi and Chris Zulu who have made this possible.
All in all, we can only recommend Sunways and already plan another safari with Sunways next year.
what more could you ask for?!
What can I say?....if you're reading this in contemplation of going away with Sunway...all I can say is stop contemplating, and book!!
I did the Rainbow Route with 9 others plus our guides Wayne and Mosses
The organisation is fantastic- Wayne and Mosses are true masters in co-ordinating our tour, taking us to stunning places, providing outstanding food, knowing so so much about the wildlife/areas/people we saw (quite incredible)....and being such vibrant characters- they were duly held on a pedalstal by the end of the trip :)
The accommodation was brilliant- very characterful places, often boutique-style. The vast majority was great for cleanliness and facilities, but please remember the places are c. 3 star, some slightly more basic....if you want 5star, this isn't the tour for you.
If you want to embrace adventure, where there are no guarantees (to coin a phrase from the guides!) ...you'll love this trip!

From the mighty Vic Falls to the dunes of the Namib and the Okavango Delta -a superb tour
We have had the most amazing trip that lived up to all expectations and exceeded them. The service provided by Greg and Dee, our guides, was superb; from the food to driving and most of all their experience and sharing of their love and knowledge of Africa. All the communications before the trip were spot on, and during the trip we were looked after perfectly so that the distances covered and array of activities laid on seemed effortless and relaxed. The weather was great (June) with sunshine days and heat and we had been given all the advice on clothes for cooler evenings and mornings so were perfectly prepared- all the information you need is in the itinerary - we just did take more than we needed! Would highly recommend Sunway and this tour to anyone wanting to see a beautiful part of Africa on an accomodated tour.

It was a time that my husband and I will never forget
My husband and I did a 14 day camping safari with our guide ;Jonathan Clements and Ende. We had the best time,they gave us an experience that we will never forget. All the way from the animals, birds that we saw, to the camping experience, great food,education of the country. If you want to do a safari- request these 2 gentlemen. They were the best.
Fantastic adventure
Sunway exceeded our expectations on every score. Grace in the office kept us up-to-date from the moment of booking, including new rules on visas for our trip.
We travelled on NB21 tour encompassing, Zambia, Namibia & Botswana, our guide Chris and driver Bri were spectacular in every way, patient, knowledgeable and super hardworking, as well as highly personable making us all feel at ease.
The equipment for the camping was first rate (once we learnt the nuances of tent erection).... The food that Chris conjured up on a gas ring in the middle of nowhere was amazing and plentiful.
The group chores, helped to gel the group and added to the whole experience, being a small group made for a wonderful experience.
Given the wondrous landscapes of Namibia, the thrill of the Delta and the ample opportunities to see the big 5, this trip was huge vale for money.
I can't recommend them enough 🙌

Great Safari Team!
This was our first African safari and we were thrilled that we chose Sunway Safari. All communication leading up to the Safari was prompt and thorough. Everything turned out to be as advertised or better. The Tour guides, Solomon and Disho were the best possible. Our family of 5 all enjoyed the Maun Botswana to Victoria Falls (BPAC11) safari to the fullest and everything involving Sunway exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

One of the best
This is a wonderful chance to see Namibia and Botswana, and although some of the journeys were long we got great insights into the very different landscapes from the arid southern areas to coast and on to the wetter north and the Falls. The wildlife viewing was exceptional – I did not expect to see both black and white Rhinos – bird life abundant, in fact everything you could hope to see. The excursions worked out well, and the couple of optional ones were well worth it.
Generally the lodges were extremely good, as was the food, but when staying inside Etosha there is a compromise, these are state run and are not up to the standard we were used to, but then it was worth it to get a head start.
Guides Colin and Edwin were superb, calm, thoughtful, helpful and clear with information and good fun to be with, they became part of our very happy group. I hope they felt the same about us.
The group of twelve was well balanced and we got on very well, I feel we all made friends very quickly and everyone pitched in.
It's not a luxury trip – some of the roads are rough – but I would happily recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore and learn.
I would happily use Sunway again.

Zimbabwe and Botswana Game Tracker was excellent
We recently completed the Zimbabwe and Botswana Game Tracker Safari with Sunway Safaris and it was excellent.
The guides, Shandele and Dickson were hard working, efficient, had excellent English and were great cooks. Most importantly, they each had a wonderful sense of humour and were kind and generous. We called them “The Two Smiling Faces of Africa”.
The food was healthy, delicious and plentiful both on the road and at our accommodation.
The accommodation was much better than we expected and each place had something special going for it.
The Red Elephant was as comfortable as it could be considering some of the rough roads that we travelled on. There was plenty of leg room and large windows.
The tour was well organised in terms of the variety of places we travelled to. We saw many, many animals as well as a variety of beautiful landscapes including many natural features.
The tour was very well priced considering the inclusions such as entrance fees. We booked directly with Sunway. The communication was prompt and Grace was very friendly and able to answer all our questions.
We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Sunway again.
