Cultural Moments

Japan was amazing, the people were just lovely, and the sights and sounds were awesome. We have some amazing memories that we will treasure forever.
The itinerary was spot on, and the private guides were excellent. We really believe we got a feel for and insight into modern Japanese life, culture, food and history.
We are now thinking about our next adventure, which we will again call on you for help with. Watch this space!

We had a brilliant trip to South Africa, possibly one of the best family holidays we’ve done. Motswari Retreat was without doubt the highlight. The personal service was incredible, the food and accommodation were superb, and our guides were extremely knowledgeable, passionate and focused on conservation and animal welfare. We loved the mix of walking and driving safaris, which gave us a completely different perspective on the wildlife and environment. The whole trip was full of memorable experiences, from exploring Cape Town to the incredible safaris and unforgettable South African sunsets.

Laura organised an unbelievable trip to Borneo for us that took in all of the wildlife, a few days at a luxury hotel on the beach and a couple of days in Kuala Lumpur. I was apprehensive as we were travelling with a five-year-old and we'd never been on this kind of holiday before, but I needn't have been. Laura tailored our trip to be adventurous and to see all of the sights, while still being child-friendly and at a pace we could all enjoy. The hotels and lodges were fantastic, and every flight, transfer and boat was organised to perfection. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy it. Genuinely a holiday of a lifetime.

Sundowner have designed four holidays for us so far, with a fifth planned for November. Our latest holiday was in Thailand and Cambodia, and we have also travelled to Tanzania, Japan and Madagascar with the company. The holiday consultants listen to what we want and tailor our holidays to suit us. We have stayed in some magnificent places and enjoyed lots of cultural, historic and wildlife experiences. We would also like to mention that they deal with any issues professionally and are always available when needed. We would highly recommend Sundowner for tailor-made holidays and are very much looking forward to our trip to Peru in November.

We thoroughly recommend Sundowner as a travel company. Our trip to Madagascar in July 2026 was the second holiday that we have booked with them and, just like our first trip to Borneo, it didn't disappoint! Lucy listened carefully to our ideal scenarios for a holiday and tailored it perfectly. Everything during the holiday ran like clockwork, with the drivers, guides and all staff at the hotels showing the utmost professionalism and consideration. Overall, it was a wonderful holiday with lots of wildlife and stunning scenery. A huge thanks to all the staff at Sundowner for their professionalism!
