Botswana safari Maun to Victoria falls
Highly recommend Skytheme -
We did 9 day safari and collected from Maun and travelled up to Victoria falls.
Having not camped for years we found it was brilliant- beds comfortable and showers worked great and the team worked so hard to provide amazing meals/warm water waiting for us at the end of the game drives. We felt clean and looked after. We enjoyed the sounds of the wildlife around us.
Moremi/Khwai/Savuti 2 nights in each were amazing! The travelling between each is essentially a game drive as you go. The 5.15am wake up for breakfast has you out of camp by daybreak at 6am each morning.
Liberty our guide was superb-enthusiastic and knowledgable and totally professional. He worked so hard to find/track the wildlife each day.
The density of wildlife including family of cheetahs/hyenas/breakfast interrupted by wild dogs on a hunt that we were able to follow/leopard on 3 separate occasions with lions and elephants daily and over 100 species of bird…. And we usually had it all to ourselves with hardly any other vehicles… great time for birding in Sep/Oct as fewer leaves on trees so visibility good.
The river trip on Chobe River was fantastic -and there is a heronry full of herons/storks at the end if you ask your driver to pass your starting point and go slightly further downriver -which we went to approaching sunset and was very atmospheric!
We were nervous at handing over so much money to a small company -but Skytheme were great-fully equipped/punctual and experienced and totally professional-would certainly book with them again.
Brilliant Safari
We did the 10 day safari from Main to Vic Falls in June 2025. Cannot praise Olly and his team, particularly tour leader Brian, for an unforgettable safari through the heart of the Delta and north to Khwai and the Chobe. Nothing was too much trouble, Brian & the team were always informative and helpful. Brian’s knowledge of the bush and relationships with the other guides (from different operators) at each individual safari area ensured that we were able to enjoy amazing sightings, including a lioness with very young cubs, a pride of lions with four males and five females on a kill, a leopard close enough to the safari vehicle to touch, buffalo, and more elephant than we could count. Cannot recommend SkyTheme enough and we would go again in a heart-beat.
Brilliant, accommodating and knowlegeable
Olly, the owner/operator, was very accommodating while we were planning the trip, nothing was too much trouble - all the while keeping value for money front and centre. Brian, our tour leader, and his team, made the safari a seamless experience for all of us. The key, we think, was Brian’s knowledge of the area and relationships with other guides who all co-operated on sightings so we saw amazing outcomes - a lion pride resting near a kill with 3 males, 5 females and 4 sub-adult cubs, a leopard close enough to touch using our vehicle as cover, more buffalo, elephant and hippo than we could count. A true trip of a lifetime and we would go back tomorrow.

Amazing!!!
My family and I enjoyed a one-week long safari in Botswana and Victoria Falls with SkyTheme Safaris. Olly and his team were very attentive when it comes to our likes and dislikes. They catered the menu and drinks directly to what we enjoy. The food was 1st rate and the friendship and camaraderie even better. Olly's brother Liberty was our driver and was outstanding at helping us find lions, leopards and cheetahs, not to mention a honeybadger and ostriches. I would highly recommend working with SkyTheme for any of your safari needs. Olly is extremely responsive to any questions or concerns that may pop up. Absolutely Amazing!!!
