Tansania - what a very nice place It was our first time in East Africa and it was a great trip. The organization, food and accommodation left nothing to be desired. Alex, our German- and English-speaking guide during the safari, drove us safely along the Tanzanian roads. He imparted a lot of knowledge about the country, the people and the animals and made sure we had a lot of fun. Thanks to him in particular and to the whole team, it was a great experience.![]()

Excellent safari with Alex We had the pleasure of having Alex from Sundown as our guide and driver for a 4 day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We stayed in fabulous accommodation, saw so much amazing wildlife, and met many warm, friendly and kind people. We can’t recommend a safari holiday highly enough for fun, adventure and learning. Alex was an excellent guide and by the time he dropped us at Seronera airport for our flight to Zanzibar, we had become friends. We hope to be back to beautiful Tanzania.![]()

1,000 times more amazing than what I had guessed If you’re thinking that going on an African Safari will be wonderful, let me share with you that my trip with Sundown African Adventures was seriously 1,000 times more incredible than I had guessed. The lodgings that Sundown African Adventures chose were all top-notch and the places they took us to were all magnificent. We received excellent service from our Guide-Driver, “Alex”. He was very professional, kind, and always aware of our safety. His extraordinary knowledge of the animals and the environment were remarkable. Alex had a sixth-sense about what the animals were actually thinking. I’m planning on sending my daughter and son-in-law for their honeymoon on tour with Sundown.![]()
