Independent feedback from our Travellers
Let me thank you and express the highest degree of satisfaction we felt with all the arrangements you made. Normally, there is at least a bump or two; however, all guides, lodgings and itineraries were smooth sailing and high quality. We were impressed, which is not too easy for us! I have already shared my itinerary and your details with other families here in Tokyo!

I’ve been meaning to contact you when we arrived home. We are back to a very hectic life. We had an absolutely fabulous vacation and thanks to you. Very happy with the whole experience. Derek was a brilliant driver and a fun person to have in the car! I would recommend Sun Africa Expeditions to anyone travelling to Uganda. The cooks were excellent – we had delicious meals every day and they catered very well for different dietary requirements. Thank you.

I am just getting home and settled after my wonderful African safari! Thank you so much for arranging such a fabulous trip! (Sun Africa Expeditions or their affiliate in Botswana) phoned us several times to check in to see how we were enjoying the trip. The drivers and guides were all thoughtful and courteous – and we really enjoyed their company. The hotels, staff and meals were quite good. I would highly recommend an African safari to anyone – much better than a traditional tour – with a busload of people. We got to see and experience things others have not. Amazing – I will definitely visit again! Best to you and thanks so much for all your assistance!
Ruth & Claudia - Switzerland December 18, 2017
The main aim of my holiday was to go on safari and I wasn’t disappointed – the guides showed outstanding knowledge of the animals and the landscape, making sure each drive was tailored to our interests. I chopped and changed bits through the months leading up to the holiday but none of this was ever a problem. Having my laptop with me and your quick responses in the last minute details worked out very well. Thank you so much Pharida and the team at Sun Africa Expeditions, it really was the trip of a life time! I will definitely visit again.
Matt Kostadinov - Varna August 8, 2018
Thanks for all your help. I am settled back home and would love to provide feedback. We had a fabulous time! I must say overall I was blown away by the experience. It was so incredible to see all the animals, relax, meet amazing food and eat great food. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves – I can’t think of a single suggestion to make it better! I can’t stop telling everyone how great you were and how easy it was to set it all up through Sun Africa Expeditions because you customized it to exactly what we wanted and did your best to keep it in our price range. You made it easy and stress-free. Thank you!!

About 5 weeks ago, you helped me book a trip to Uganda for vacation with my wife. We have just returned, and I wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time. Thank you so much for your assistance. You set us up with a fabulous guide, and all of the hotels were excellent. The safari tents were a surprise at first, but turned out to be a lot of fun although a bit cold in the wee hours of the mornings. Thanks again, I hope to be able to use your service again in the future.
Charlotte Hardwich - USA August 13, 2019
My wife and I would like to thank you for the splendid time we had in Uganda. Everything was perfect, from car rental to accommodation. We were really happy with the staff of all the hotels and location – what can I say, other than that it was simply fantastic! I have traveled to quite a few places (the US, Europe and the UK, to name a few) and this was the first occasion where I have taken support from an expert like Sun Africa Expeditions. What I really liked was the way in which you captured our requirements and answered our tons of queries with patience. I guess that is what customer satisfaction is all about! I would recommend you to every person I know. I again thank you because without your service, I do not think the trip would have been possible.
Bernhard & Simone - Bremen October 15, 2019
We have just arrived home from the most wonderful trip to Uganda. We are quite experienced travelers and must admit that this safari was definitely one of the best of all of our travels. I feel that this is in large part due to the wonderful guide - Brian that we had the pleasure of enjoying for the past 2weeks. He was not only very knowledgeable and informative but he gave us all a real feel for the Ugandan culture of gracious hospitality. He has a terrific personality and a fun sense of humor. He takes great pride in his country and loves showing it off to his guests. But more than that, he is insightful and keen at learning personalities. For example, he became very aware of our likes and dislikes so that when he ordered food for us, he remembered that my husband did not like goat cheese, meat rare, that another of our companions liked his meat rare and that eggplant was my favorite. I felt that he took very special care of us, but I am sure that he treats all of his guests as well. Although he always maintained a professional demeanor, he became a good friend as well. I feel that he is a very special person and you are very fortunate to have him in your employ. Thank you for a memorable holiday!

My travel consultant Pharidah discussed my interests at length and helped me select an itinerary perfect for me. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! You nailed it! The safari that you arranged for us was simply perfect, and everything went flawlessly the entire trip. The transfers were effortless, lodges were fantastic, the staff was great and always smiling, the food was amazing, the weather was great, all of our requests were accommodated… And the game – well, we saw the Big 5, two wildebeest crossings, 100 elephants (at the same time), 42 giraffes (at the same time), four leopards, tens of thousands of wildebeests (at the same time), and watched the Tanzanian Super Pride (22 lions) playing with each other for over an hour. The hot air balloon ride was also incredible. We really appreciated your recommendations and suggestions. You made it a great safari. I’m not just pleased – I’m over the moon!

East Africa is an extraordinary destination!! Although my wife and I have travelled to many other parts of the world, Uganda, Kenya & Tanzania provided something of interest and wonder every day we were there. We’re also
pleased that we could concentrate on sightseeing. The travel arrangements made by Sun Africa Expeditions worked almost flawlessly. All the guides and representatives were knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Though we had trouble understanding a few guides, we still had good tours at every stop. The hotels were at least the standard we expected, and some, like Clouds lodge in Bwindi National Park Uganda, were pleasant surprises. Thank you especially for the arrangements at the Ngorongoro Conservation area in Tanzaniaand the Mara Sopa Lodge in Masai Mara, Kenya. The naturalist guide and the extra bedroom made an enormous difference. I will certainly recommend Sun Africa Expeditions to friends who envy our trip to East Africa, and I would use Sun Africa Expeditions again for a return trip to Africa. Thanks so much for your help in planning the itinerary and for giving us happy memories of travel.Nicole & Richie - Canada February 20, 2022
Every travel detail was perfectly arranged by Sun Africa Expeditions. The drivers were courteous, kind and punctual. The tours and activities were fun and informative. The logistics went off without a hitch. We didn’t have to worry about a thing the whole time. Our Gorilla trek was more than exceeded our wildest expectations. We have so many new tales and memories to cherish from this excursion that will last our entire lifetime. We felt very fortunate to have seen as manyGorillas as we did. We took home lots of great memoirs to share with friends and family from Uganda. The safari through Queen Elizabeth & Murchison Falls Parks was beyond words – we did not imagine getting so close and intimate with nature in its wildest forms! We think it should be something every human being should experience in their lifetimes. Once in Zambia, we were lucky to have arrived at a time when the water levels were low enough to allow white water rafting down the Zambezi, where I’ve dreamt of rafting for many years! It was an incredible day only to be topped off with our tour of Victoria Falls. Compliments to the team at Sun Africa Expeditions, you’re the best!
