Botswana Wild Parks 4. October - 17. October 2026– my vacation was a truly unique experience. Our guides, Ayibongwe and Thabani, played a major role in making it so. Beyond sharing their extensive knowledge—covering everything from the countries we visited and the local flora and fauna to broader social topics—they were always ready to answer any questions we had, providing expert responses every time. Furthermore, the organization of the trip, the preparation of our meals, and the handling of any personal requests from fellow travelers were always managed with courtesy, attentiveness, and efficiency. Ayibongwe’s daily briefings were clear and easy to follow, always building a sense of positive anticipation. We were deeply impressed by his calm and friendly demeanor. At every moment, we felt safe and, above all, completely at ease. Both of them contributed significantly to a positive group dynamic, which was key to the success of the trip. It is also worth highlighting that the two of them managed to spot many animals for us—we had already seen the "Big 5" within just 7 days. An absolute dream! All of my expectations were more than exceeded. I will look back on this vacation for a long time to come, and I will always remember both of them fondly. ❤️

I have just returned home from a 21 day overland trip, Cape Town to Victoria Falls with Sunway Safaris. My friend and I had a couple of extra days in Cape Town prior to commencement of the safari, and again at the end, to take in a few extra sights not included in the itinerary. Our guides, Marcus and Fundi took us on an unforgettable adventure from the spectacular scenery of mountains, gorges and rivers to the abundant wildlife.Their insightful knowledge of history, land and animals gave us a better understanding and appreciation of Africa and her people. They were always professional in their approach towards the group and they worked hard to ensure we all were comfortable, well fed, safe and felt included, being differing nationalities we were a diverse group indeed! Travelling overland gave the unique opportunity to be immersed in the sights and culture unique to each country we visited. Often the days started early, and for me, being an early bird I enjoyed the mornings with the magnificent sunrises and the quiet before others were fully present. The roads travelled were a mix of sealed and unsealed, the latter being a little bumpy at times, but all part of the adventure. We learned what an ‘African Massage’ was, but sorry guys it’s still a long way from a Thai massage, now THAT is crippling!🤭 We knew what to expect for each day being given a short briefing the night before however, travelling through the borders, country to country was an experience I won’t forget easily, nothing, not even the briefing can prepare one for that! Thanks to Marcus and Fundi we all managed to enter and exit without too much fuss! Our accomodation overall, was comfortable and the hospitality from staff, for the most part was exemplary. One place however made us (the group) feel very unwelcome, that, together with the strange dome shaped accomodation, around ten steps up to the entry door (no handrail) and immediately as the door was opened, the same amount of steps down (again no handrail) made me question how many people have left the property in an ambulance (or similar) to the local hospital due to injury? (Being in the business of healthcare I notice these things) From beginning to the end I’ve been impressed with the level of organisation, efficiency and attention to detail by Sunway to make this trip memorable, it has exceeded all my expectations. PS: thank you Sunway for the little surprise, given to us one evening by Marcus and Fundi, after the mix up with our pick up point for the added activity. Now back home, I’m thankful for all I’ve encountered and experienced. I have many happy memories which will linger a long time, and if I do feel the memories are fading, I have a million photos to remind me, new friends and a little piece of Africa in my heart. I never want to forget. Overall, if you asked would I do it again, short answer is yes! Thank you Sunway Safaris, Marcus and Fundi

In September 2026 I participated in a walking holiday in South Africa. The journey was very well organized. The accomodations were good and often very special. Dylan and Shumba (guide and driver) were really enthousiatic, friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. They also provided us with delicious lunches and a real African braai. Thanks to them this trip was unforgettable.
