Reviews from our customers

Our experienced guide, Adam, brought us to lots of place that we can see lots of different animals. The game drive in Serengti and Ngorongoro Crater are spectacular, in which we chased a cheetah hunting group, a young mating lion couple etc. Regarding the accommodation, Anna was helpful to share us options and support us to make changes as per our budget and feedback. Entire journey, starting from we arrived airport, is well planned with flexibility.

Sunset Adventure Tours exceeded all my expectations. As a licensed Travel Advisor, I knew the competition would be fierce. But from the get go, Emma impressed me with her attention to detail and prompt, personalized communication. My friend and I completed a three-day safari of Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We were blown away with our guide Omary his knowledge and expertise! He knew exactly where to go to find all the animals we’d hoped to see. One other thing, the quality of our accommodation was 10/10.
