Martha Galvez provided the best travel service for me when I booked my trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica. I treated my niece to the trip for her 21st birthday. Martha took the time to hear my plans and ensured all my requests were fulfilled. She was in touch with the resort and upon our arrival there was a birthday banner on the door, a slice of birthday cake and a bottle of wine awaiting us. I didn't have to do anything but tell Martha what I wanted. I'm truly grateful for her service as my travel agent. Thank you again Sunset Travel & Cruise AND my agent Martha Galvez!

Highly Recommend Ryan and his company for all your travel needs.

Our travel agent Ryan Roman from Sunset Travel guided, coordinated and organized our dream wedding at Dreams Natura in Cancun Mexico on 10/26/24. My husband and I shopped around for an agent who could help us find exactly what we visioned as a destination wedding. He skillfully and patiently listened to our requests, followed through and delivered. Our wedding was amazing. From the location, to those who coordinated events and the staff who decorated and weighted on us hand and foot. It all turned out exactly how we wanted. Ryan took the time to understand what we wanted for our wedding. He communicated clearly, worked diligently with hotel staff, and responded in a timely manner with all my guests. I highly recommend Ryan for any future destination weddings or leisure traveling. We have kept in contact with him as we plan our future family vacation in April 2025.

Experience Africa

  • The Wild Side

    Cape of Good Hope
    Along with spectacular views, you can also swim with the penguins!

    Hell’s Gate National Park
    Named for the intense geothermal activity within its boundaries, the scenery alone is worth the price of admission.

    Serengeti
    What better way to see lions, tigers, and other wildlife than on a safari through the desert?

  • Spectacular Sights

    Mount Kilimanjaro
    At 19,340 feet, the inactive stratovolcano is the highest free-standing mountain in the world – and ready for climbers.

    Giza Pyramid Complex
    When in Cairo, you have to see one of the most recognized and renowned architectural structures in the world.

    Victoria Falls
    As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, it’s a must-see full of adventure and fun.

Victoria Falls

As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls is found on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia and is like nothing you’ve ever seen before in your life. And there’s no shortage of exciting activities.

Explore the scenic terrain and swim in the Devil’s Pool. Then go on a helicopter flight, bungee jumping, abseiling, ziplining, microlight flights, and whitewater rafting.

If that’s not your style, hop on the back of a horse and take on the surrounding trails, go on leisurely elephant-back safaris, and even walking with lions – which is every bit as thrilling as it sounds.

The bush walks alone will enthrall you while you take in the breath-taking scenery and learn about the culture and traditions of the local people. Contact us to book your entire travel experience!

Cape of Good Hope

The Cape of Good Hope, the most south-western point of the African continent, is a promontory off of the southern tip of South Africa. The best thing to do here is to simply enjoy the beauty – but there are other things you can do while taking that in.

Visit the ostrich farm, explore the abundant wild nature of the area in the nature preserves and gardens, and enjoy delicious food in Cape Town. This popular excursion is often combined with one to Boulders Beach for a fun-filled day trip.

While the coastal scenery is amazing and the sights are incomparable, one of the big draws is that you can get up close and personal with African penguins. While most people are content simply watching the adults and fluffy babies, some visitors take it one step further and take a refreshing swim with the penguins.

Along with the spectacular views and animals friends, you can also hike, climb up the lighthouse at Cape Point, or go whale watching during the summer months.

Giza Pyramid Complex

The oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Giza Pyramid near Cairo was originally built as a tomb for the pharaoh in 2560 BC.

One of the great mysteries is how they were built, and what’s known is that more than two million blocks of stone were transported from various quarries to the site in order to build this imposing structure – all using skilled manual labor.

The Giza Pyramid Complex comprises several buildings and structures including the most famous, the Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops.

When it comes to visiting this great wonder of the world, most tourists prefer to see them on a full-day tour from Giza or Cairo. These tours often also include a Nile River cruise or stops at other sites such as Memphis, the Egyptian Museum, and the Khan El Khalili Bazaar.

Once at the pyramid site, you have a couple of options – you can explore on foot, but why not hop on the back of a camel?

Hell’s Gate National Park

Don’t let the name fool you, as there’s nothing evil about this destination. Located in Kenya, it’s known for its stunning scenery and varied wildlife.

Spectacular sights includes the towering cliffs, water-gouged gorges, hot springs, stark rock towers, and imposing volcanoes.

Not to mention the plumes of geothermal steam that make it one of the most atmospheric parks in Africa.

Visitors might run into lions, leopards, raptors, cheetahs, zebras, gazelles, hyenas, and vultures. Hike the amazing gorges for wildlife sightings or side-track to the Obsidian Cave for black glass-like rocks formed with help of volcanic flow.

Activities include hiking, bicycling, motorcycling, mountain climbing, camping, and the Maasai Cultural Center, which highlights the culture and traditions of the Maasai people.

Serengeti

As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Serengeti spans over 12,000 square miles in Tanzania and Kenya and is known for its large lion population, along with the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world.

We suggest you begin your adventure at Serengeti National Park where you can start your guided exploration of the flora and fauna through woodlands, grasslands, swamps, and forests. Here you’ll get the chance to see lions, leopards, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, and many other animals in their natural habitat.

Stay the night in style in a remote luxury tented camp where you can hear the wildlife at night, take in information and exhibits at The Serengeti Visitor Centre, visit the gigantic rock formations of Moru Kopjes, and get high up with a hot air balloon ride over the plains. Depending on when you visit, you may even witness part of the great migration.

You can roam on foot or by horseback for guided wildlife tours or call Sunset Travel & Cruise schedule you a Jeep safari, which is one of the best and safest ways to explore the land while taking in the once-in-a-lifetime sights.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Located on the border of Kenya in northern Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro trekkers and mountaineers from around the world visit this site every year.

Towering at 19,340 feet, the inactive stratovolcano towers is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. But don’t let the size fool you if you’re intimidated about taking the hike. It’s considered a relatively easy ascent, but the healthier and more fit you are, the better your chances of reaching the summit.

Considered a moorland zone, which makes for lush vegetation and plentiful rainfall, there is more to this area than just climbing. Easy hikes can lead to leopard, buffalo, baboon, bush pig, mongoose, elephant and many other wildlife sightings.

The best time to visit Mount Kilimanjaro is in January and February, which are the warmest months, and make it easier to climb. But regardless of when you go, the views are simply spectacular. Contact us to arrange your entire trip!

Insights…

“From the amazing natural environment to the history rich in culture,

the friendly locals to the vibrant markets, Africa has everything, sometimes all at once. There’s just something about this fascinating continent that pulls you in, and once you’re there, you’ll want to return again and again.”

“So many of the most awe-inspiring animals,

including elephants, hippos and lions, call Africa home. And while going on safari may kind of be a bit of a travel cliché, you’d be hard-pressed to find a traveller who wasn’t in complete awe when watching the wildlife world in motion.
