    The guides were fantastic and I loved the itinerary. It was an amazing trip. My only complaint is that Tour Radar took way too long to respond to my questions before the trip.
    Sunway Safaris commented on this review
    Hi Lorraine, thank you so much for the review, and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed both the guides and the itinerary. Our delay in responding to your questions is due to the fact that our offices are closed on weekends and we do not have access... Show more

    Great tour of South Africa covering so much of the country. You'll get a variety of experiences including safaris, hikes, national parks, beaches, wineries and cities. You'll meet and see so many smiling faces of South Africa and enjoy their culture. Accommodation ranged from really basic in the Drakensberg mountains to really interesting huts in Kruger and Estiwini to amazing beautiful resorts outside of Kruger. There were some really long travel days in the truck but given the size of the country and the places covered it was totally expected. Sunway Safaris is a local company and you can see that they do their best to help local communities.

    Our guide supposedly had a lot of experience but in comparison to other tour guides (I've taken many tours), he did not give us ongoing information specific to areas we were traveling through. He was sometimes difficult to hear & understand. While looking for animals on safari, he was sometimes on his phone & appeared somewhat disinterested leaving it to the driver, Louis. Unfortunately our 2nd to last night he got quite drunk before he joined us for our dinner at a restaurant. He explained that he had 'worked hard on the tour' and deserved to 'relax'. His hygiene practices could improve & were a concern in meal prep. I felt Louis our driver was good. He was competent, easy to understand, provided interesting information but did not take over what the guide should be doing & did his very best to keep the tour on schedule. The itinerary was good as it included a lot of areas. The accommodation was good, except for the Drakensburgs (I only had hot water in the kitchen even after repair). It was especially good in Knysna - Lagoona Inn. I am sorry to say negative things about our guide, but felt I should be truthful. ~ Maureen

    I have just returned from Sunway South Africa Rainbow Route tour (17 days). It was an absolutely wonderful tour from start to finish and I cannot recommend or praise it enough! It far exceeded my expectations in regards to sights, accommodation and mostly our guides and food! Our guides Stefaine and Sifiso were incredible and 100% made our trip as amazing as it was with their genuine love of guiding people through the sights of South Africa, knowledge & passion for wildlife and culture and luckily for us their amazing cooking skills.
