The experience was super awesome having to travel back in Africa after a long while abroad.
5/5

The communication by the tour operator was simple and easy to understand. The tour operator was more than willing to help me around everytime I had a question. No doubt I would still choose Suntrip Africa Safaris in my future travels!!

11 day Kenya-Tanzania Safari, Bad accommodations in Arusha, truck broke down twice in Tanzania
2/5

I had an 11 day tour of Kenya and Tanzania with luxury accommodations. Before I left for Africa, I really had a good communication with Susan/Suzy, she answers questions all the time thru WhatsApp, it's when I arrived in Africa when everything starts to become bad, when I got there, she changed some of my accommodations, the accommodations in the national parks were amazing, I chose the luxury accommodations and they were indeed nice! But my accommodations in Arusha were very bad, she put me in bad places that have dirty rooms, slow shower pressure and stinky rooms! Also, our truck that we used in Tanzania broke down twice, one day we have to spend a few hours in a junk shop in the middle of Serengeti to have the tires fixed then the following day this truck broke down again and we have to hitch a ride with another tour group to go back to Arusha! She booked us thru 7 wonders in Tanzania, I guess this safari company in Tanzania is not reliable! Also in Kenya, they used a van that was converted with a roof that can be lifted during game drives, its not those 4x4 safari trucks! The bad thing about this is it's very bumpy during game drives and roads in Kenya and Tanzania are not paved and very dusty! I just would like to point out that the drivers I had were amazing, Anthony in Kenya and Linus in Tanzania were both nice and they can easily spot animals even if they're very far from the vehicle. Overall, I enjoyed this trip I was able to see the big 5 and I would still do it again but I would probably choose another African countries next time and if I have to be back in Kenya or Tanzania then I'll choose a different tour operator next time

1/5

I went on a mount kenya safari and would not recommend this firm at all.

They charged extra when i arrived in the morning and we also ended up paying for items that should have been included (like transport back to nairobi).

Additionally, the pre-trek guidance was awful - they didn't provide an accurate itinerary or a list of required items. This meant we had to buy extra stuff when we arrived. We were also very surprised (and disappointed with the lodgings).

There are better and professional operators available!! From now on I will only use KATO-certified operators!

Very good tour with Anthony
4/5

Very good budget tour. Very nice communication in advanced with Susan. Excellent tourguide and driver Anthony. He did everything possible for us to see the animals. Nice car and camp, too.
Just the manager of the camp was unfriendly but this was not the fault of the agency. I can really recommend this tour.

Awesome 6Day Masai-Naku-Amboseli safari experience on a budget
4/5

Susan organized everthing for us and was quick to respond to our queries. It was my second time in Miti Mingi ecocamp and was happy with the renovations done on the tents/rooms. It is now way better than it was last September 2018. At Kimana camp, we stayed at newly built room too. The rooms now look better than what you'd see on pictures posted on Tripadvisor. We managed to see white rhinos in Nakuru but a baboon got inside our van and took a small bag full of snacks. From a group of 7 people in Masai, only 2 of us proceeded to Nakuru and was joined by another guest. On the way to Amboseli, there were just 2 of us + Anton, our guide. Anton was a great guide. In Amboseli, we got clear skies on the last day and was lucky to see mighty Mt. Kilimanjaro. So satistied with the overall experience and service from Sunstrip Safaris.

4/5

First of all the crew is lively,they have good communication skills and thus services offered are satisfying.The safari tour should just try and advertise themselves a little bit otherwise good job.

DREAM TO MAASAI MARA COME TRUE
5/5

We were so happy with our driver guide Solomon who was so experienced and friendly. We highly recommend sunstrip africa safaris for anyone who has a dream to visit the kenya parks.The food was good and in plenty, water was warm too. I was so happy to join the rest of our group to the village where we danced and interacted with the maasai people.

you are the best operators. Thank you so much.

A wonderful safari with an outstanding guide who truly made the difference.
5/5

Our safari with Sunstrip Africa Safaris was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our absolutely outstanding guide Bony. His knowledge of wildlife and nature was remarkable, his dedication was evident every single day, and his passion for what he does made every moment special. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience — we cannot praise him highly enough.
The accommodations throughout the trip were also excellent — comfortable, well-chosen, and a perfect place to rest after each exciting day in the bush.
However, we were disappointed by the communication regarding payment. We were told in advance to bring cash for the safari. When we asked if euros were acceptable, they confirmed this — but upon arrival, they applied an unfavorable dollar-to-euro exchange rate that was significantly worse than the standard online rate, without having informed us beforehand. As a result, we ended up paying more than 10% above the expected amount. Interestingly, we were then able to pay the remaining difference by card, which raises the question of why card payment was not offered from the start. We would strongly encourage the operator to communicate payment conditions and exchange rates clearly in advance.

Amazing safari experience!
5/5

I joined a 7-day safari tour and end up with great satisfaction. Josef and Anthony were my tour guide, and they tried their best to find animals.
They are knowledgeable and taught me many things with their erudition. Finally I found BIG 5. Also, balloon safari was amazing, and you should try.
For more improvement, i prefer staying sweetwaters, instead of samburu 2 days. The place is very rocky and not so many animals around.
