    This trip was awesome ..the experiences were wonderful but, I cannot express how much this was also due to Brian and Jo Jo, who with their eagle eyes, amazing knowledge, brilliant cooking and desire to go above and beyond what was expected, ensured we had the best experience. I am looking forward to coming back and doing another trip. Well done Sunway you have 2 amazing and absolute gentlemen working for you.

    Tour was generally what was described in all the information provided. Sunway did a great job of providing written material about the trip, so one should not have had too many surprises.Visited many, many parks, historic sites and scenic views. Liked the small group of 12 or less. Most accommodations were equal to or better than promised (although not all). All had a/c, which was greatly appreciated after long, hot days. Also had wifi often available, even though our brochure stated it was not. Nice to have two guides, both who were knowledgeable about wildlife, history and what to expect. The large, safari van worked well. Not perfect, but certainly what was needed for the trip.Van did have a/c, a great surprise to us. Overall very hot during the day but always cooled to a very comfortable evening temperature. Bugs and mosquitoes were minimal, and one could enjoy the cool evenings outdoors without suffering. If covering large areas and seeing many parks is what you are after, then this is a great trip. Hard, but it is Africa. Now the bad. Almost two-thirds of our promised accommodations were changed 30 days before departure.Some were improvements, but one (Matobo) was tented, not accommodated. Lived in a tent with minimal, shared showers and toilets. This should have not been allowed. Seems like poor planning or bait and switch. Travel van seats were very hard, and became very uncomfortable when travelling 6 to 8 hours per day. Had e-mailed Sunway and asked if we should pre-book optional tours. They replied that it was unnecessary and could be done upon arrival. Bad advice. Optionals in Victoria Falls and Okavango Delta were not available, and we either did without or re-scheduled for a less convenient time. Better planning is needed. Food prepared by the group was average at best. Seemed to be an effort to keep food costs down. Always plenty, but often mostly filler like pasta, maize or rice. Although different guides might result in a different outcome.Safari tours in the parks often started too late. By 11:00am most game has disappeared. Starting late meant the wildlife we saw was minimal considering the number of hours we spent looking. Sixteen days and we did not see the big 5. One sighting of lions, one close sighting of rhinos and none of leopards. In contrast, I took an individual trip back to Kruger after the Sunway tour ended, entered the park early and had close-up, big 5 sightings by 10:00am on both days we toured.The Khama Rhino experience was not good. Our safari van is large, is not 4 wheel drive and not able to make it through the deep sands of the park. Seems like getting stuck in the sand is a common problem, yet Sunway continues to not use the safari jeeps available at the park which are made for these conditions. Spent all of our time at the park pushing a large van out of the sand. No close sightings at all. Only a lot of tired, sweat drenched tourists. Even in September it was hot. Often over 40C (104F). Be prepared.

All questions
  • N

    Nancy

    Asked on December 27th, 2024

    Do you provide any and at what cost? single room for the Cape to Victoria Falls accommodated trip.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten December 2024

      Single Supplement Rate is €830 should you wish for your own room/tent for the duration of the tour. If you are booking solo, you will find group travel a great opportunity to share your travel experiences. If you are happy to share with another single lady/gentleman, then don't book the single supplement, and we will room you with another solo traveller.

      Nancy

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      I understand that I have to arrive in Cape Town one day before the start of the tour. How much is the cost of that extra night? Also, providing a medical certificate - I will be 66 at the start of the trip- seems very strange to me as I am very fit and there are no strenuous activities.

    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten December 2024

      Most travellers opt to overnight the night before tour starts at the City Lodge V&A Waterfront. For clients over 65 years old we request that they complete a self-declaration medical form. It's not so much about the medical condition of the client, but rather their understanding of the Sunway trip type of travel.

    • N

      Nancy

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Does the safari truck have a/c? Is the Zimbabwean visa given at the port of entry and how much is the cost? Day 3 do we have the option of kayaking in the river? Day 4 at the Fish River Canyon is not quiet clear to me. Do we see the sunset as per the highlights, have lunch and time for a walk or we just stop briefly to take some photos?

    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten December 2024

      The safari trucks are air cooled which, when all the windows are closed, will lower the ambient temperature by around 10C. Yes the visa for Zimbabwe can be purchased at the border on entry. Yes you will have the option to kayak on the Orange river. You will visit the canyon and walk there with ample time to explore but you will move onto Keetmanshoop where you will overnight.

    • N

      Nancy

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      From what I read, the views of the Falls are much nicer on the side of Zimbabwe than on that of Zambia (this tour ends in Zambia). It was also my understanding that crossing the bridge you can get to the other side. How much time would require to do this, to walk on both sides+ crossing the border?

    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten January 2025

      The Zimbabwe side of the Victoria Falls offers the most iconic and panoramic views. On the Zambian side you have a closer experience with the waterfall particularly at Knife edge point. You can walk over the bridge, this involves a border crossing but it is quick and easy. Most people spend 2 to 3 hours exploring the Falls.

    • N

      Nancy

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Do you accept payment from an american passport holder? How much would be the cost of the trip and the down payment? I will be sharing a room with a friend so there is no need for a single room any more.

    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten January 2025

      The cost of the CVa21 in US$ is US$ 4225 per person sharing. On booking we ask for a 20% deposit with the balance of payment being due 6 weeks prior to travel.

    can you tell me what the group would look like? Is there other solo travelers with age between 30-40years?

    Age Range
    Group size
    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten December 2024

      this departure has 1 seat still available and is a guaranteed departure. The age and nationalities are as follows: German x 2 both aged 25, UK x 1 aged 83, German x 3 aged 70, 69 and 65, Netherlands x 5 ages 71, 70, 45, 42 and 60

  • I

    Irene

    Asked on November 14th, 2024

    Would that be an option to pay single room fee on this trip?

    Single supplement
    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten November 2024

      If you are happy to share with another single lady/gentleman, then don't book the single supplement, and we will room you with another solo traveller. There is no charge for this, even if you end up in a single room. However, if you feel you would be more comfortable with your own single room, then you should book a single supplement.

    • I

      Irene

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      What is the main differences between CVa21 and CV21? Would you be able to give me the price in AU dollar price for CV21 tour and CV21 single supplement?

    • Sunway SafarisOperatorWritten November 2024

      The main difference between the CVa21 and the CV21 is that the CVa21 is an accommodated tour; meaning that you stay in lodges, whereas the CV21 is an under canvas camping tour; they both follow a very similar route. The cost per person on the CV21 tour is AU$ 4 675. Single Supplement Rate is AU$ 464 should you wish for your own room/tent for the duration of the tour.
