We just got back from a 16 day trip with Sunway Safaris through Zambia and Malawi. It was incredible! It was an accommodated tour with three nights camping. Each of the places we stayed were great, particularly in South Luangwa national park, Kafue River and lake Malawi. The campsites/wild camping island were also amazing locations. During the 16 days we had so many different experiences, it felt like the trip was much longer. From canoeing down the Zambezi, wild camping with the sounds of hippos around to safaris and snorkelling in lake Malawi this trip was an adventure that we would highly recommend if you like the outdoors and wildlife. It’s not a holiday but an adventure with early starts each day and some very long travel days, however even the travel days were interesting watching the daily life of the locals from the truck. Finally and most importantly our guides were absolutely incredible Sfiso and Thawande (sorry for the spelling) were just the right balance between professional and fun. Nothing was too much to ask. They are both very interesting and knowledgeable, we felt they worked really well together. They always made excellent meals and ensured we were on time, never having to worry about a thing. We’ve been lucky enough to go on a few group tours to Southern Africa now but our guides have never been as good as these two. I hope we meet again sometime on another Sunway Safari!

The Jo'burg to Vic Falls trip via Botswana was an outstanding journey. Excellent guides, smooth organisation, lovely group, friendly locals,endless horizons, and most importantly many,many encounters with fabulous animals....rhinos, elefants, lions, a cheetah mum with three cubs, leopards, zebras, giraffes, hippos, a spectacle of birdlife, wild dogs and and and. Every day offered new and often breathtaking experiences Memories I will carry in my mind and heart forever.

Fantastic trip with amazing guides, all in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere

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. ❤️
