Well organized, good communication, good value
5/5

I did the Sunways Elephant Safari tour in July. There were 9 of us in the tour. We saw a lot of animals especially elephants. There is a lot of time spent driving, so be prepared for long hours in the bus. The lodges/tents we stayed at were pretty nice. The one thing I would change is getting more time in Botswana's Chobe national park. We arrived in the afternoon, and had a lovely trip on the river. However, I would have loved to spend a day, or at least half a day at the park. Instead we had to pay extra for 2.5 hours in the park with another company, and because it was so rushed, we didn't really get to see much.

The guides Aloyis and Allen were knowledgeable and professional. When things went wrong (like running into a sandstorm) they acted responsibly and with ingenuity.

A tour with Sunway Safaris is an amazing adventure
5/5

Even if I wanted to, I could not find anything negative to write about my tour with Sunway Safaris. For me, it was the trip of a lifetime. I got to know some amazing new places, learn about different cultures and connect with the other people on my trip. Being on a camping trip, I felt very connected to the nature around me and that I was able to explore the country in a closer way. It truly was an adventure with lots of breathtaking landscapes, fun trips, interesting animals and so much more. My guides, who were very professional and knowledgeable but also lots of fun, played a big part in making the trip such an amazing experience. They worked very hard to help us whenever needed and to bring us safely from one place to the next. The size of the group I travelled with was perfect. If we had been any more, I don’t think I would’ve been able to make such strong connections to my group members. I also felt like I got all my moneys worth on the trip. Considering the amount of food we got provided with, the included national park entrance fees, the included activities and the amount of driving we did, I would say the price of the trip was absolutely fair. Booking the trip was very simple and I always got fast and helpful answers to my questions.
I can definitely recommend booking a trip with Sunway Safaris. I am left with some incredible memories and can’t wait for my next trip with them.

It was an adventurous safari for people keen to discover the African nature.
5/5

As we looked for a reliable and not too expensive trip, Sunway seemed like a very good choice. And it did not disappoint! We experienced Africa to the fullest during the wild camping - an adventure that we really hoped for. It is not a trip for people that don't enjoy getting dirty or sweaty but a perfect option for Travellers. I would not hesitate to do it again!

Sunway Safaris delivered an exceptionally well‑organised, great‑value, and unforgettable adventure!
5/5

My recent Zimbabwe & Botswana Game Tracker Safari with Sunway Safaris was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Sunway delivered a phenomenal experience from start to finish, thanks in large part to their incredibly knowledgeable and highly experienced guides. Their passion for the wildlife, landscapes, and culture of Southern Africa brought every moment to life and made the journey feel both immersive and effortless.

The itinerary offered a terrific range of accommodation styles - each thoughtfully chosen to match the character of its location - and every stay was comfortable, welcoming, and uniquely memorable. Activities were exceptionally well organised, varied, and perfectly suited to each destination, giving us an authentic and diverse perspective of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

What stood out most was how accurately the trip matched what was described on the Sunway website. Every promise lived up to reality. From unforgettable game viewing to seamless logistics, the safari exceeded every expectation.

Thank you, Sunway Safaris, for an extraordinary experience. I couldn’t recommend this safari more highly!

Well organised, great guides from Sunway and hooked us up with fantastic local guides, in the Delta and elsewhere (Oliver our game guide in Moremi, Savuti and Chobe was truly excellent!).

Wonderful safari, perfect organization, knowledgeable guide
5/5

We recently returned from a safari through South Africa and Mozambique, including stops in Zululand and Swaziland. This was our first trip to South Africa, so it was not without some trepidation. Well, our holiday was up to, and actually exceeded, all our expectations. The places visited, accommodations, activities, food and general organization were excellent. Our guide, Clinton J Venter, did everything to make this trip amazing. He was really professional and knowledgeable of wildlife, and at the same time friendly and good humored. A perfect driver. We've always felt safe! I would highly recommend this trip to everyone. Thank you Sunway Safaris for excellent organization, we'll travel with you again.

Zimbabwe and Botswana Game Tracker was excellent
5/5

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.

One of the best
5/5

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.
