Small groups
By travelling with a maximum of 12 people, you are able to witness Africa and have first hand contact with this amazing continent and its people, without being a negative influence. This has been a key factor in our continued success. Our trips appeal to a wide demographic of traveller. Our clients range in age from 25 to 65+, with the average being 45. The range of travellers gives a variety of perspectives which adds to the experience of each safari.

 2 Sunway tour guides
Group leaders are the key to any safari. On a Sunway safari you will travel with two qualified and registered field guides (Field Guides Association of SA). Two guides as crew, not a guide and a driver, means interesting trips with maximum knowledge and information. Our guides have a passion for Africa, her people and wildlife, and they love nothing more than sharing their knowledge with you.

 Guaranteed departures
Departure dates on each itinerary shown as bold, are guaranteed departure dates. This means this departure will run no matter how many clients book, so you can secure your flights without worrying about the tour cancelling. All other departures operate with a minimum of four people.
Please contact our office for a list of the guaranteed departure dates or see the DATES/PRICES tab on each detailed itinerary page of the website. The website’s online live availability and guaranteed status is linked to our reservations system and updated constantly.

 All inclusive price
When we travel ourselves, we always feel that if we're in a country we should find and see the best it has to offer. So when planning the Sunway routes we ensure that each trip provides the best possible inclusions and experiences. For example, if you go to Botswana, you have to visit the national parks in an open 4WD - it is the essence of the Botswana wilderness. If you tour Zambia, then you must visit South Luangwa National Park and do a game walk with a local scout.
When booking on a Sunway safari there are no hidden costs. All of the entrance fees are included, and a wide range of activities, and most meals. We have included many highlights in our tours, so that you will see and experience all the highlights without having to pay extra when you get there. So when you decide on which safari company to book with, look carefully at what you’re actually getting. You may only visit a place once, make sure you get the most out of it.

%20(23).jpg) Safety
Our fleet of vehicles are custom built to ensure comfortable and safe touring. Each is constructed by an authorised passenger vehicle builder, to the latest safety requirements, with a safety shell, and every seat has a lap belt. This gives you peace of mind when travelling with Sunway Safaris on the often demanding African roads.

Responsible travel
Our commitment to sustainable and responsible African safari tourism is reflected in our low impact travel style where all we take is photographs and all we leave are our footprints. Being an African company we have the grassroots contacts to make a real difference in the lives of the people whose lands we visit.

 Solo Travellers
Going it alone won't make your holiday more expensive; our reservations staff will match you up with another same-gender traveller to keep your holiday affordable. If however, you request a single room or tent these are available with a price supplement. (Half room booking is not applicable to Classic Journeys).
|
Experience
We have more than 25 years experience planning tours throughout Southern Africa. As such, our itineraries and routes have been perfected over many years ensuring that your tour will run smoothly. We visit the highlights of Southern Africa, but ensure that you do not follow the well trodden tourist track. All of us at Sunway Safaris have extensive travel experience in Africa, and throughout the world. Being adventure travellers ourselves, we know how to plan trips that give you a broad experience of the countries that you will visit.

Probably the most important part of a Sunway safari is that we are an African company with offices in South Africa and Botswana. We live in Africa, we travel in Africa and it is our passion for this amazing continent that makes Sunway your best travel option.
