3 Days Safari - Ngorongoro crater & Serengeti
I booked a 3-day camping safari with Sky View Adventures and it was really excellent. Everything was well organized and Deo, our guide, was so nice and helpful. He knew so much about the animals and the places and could tell us about everything. The communication was really easy via WhatsApp and Paulo was always available if you had any questions. The food was excellent and we got something different every day. I can really recommend Sky View Adventure.

Serengetti Safari
I have just returned from a fab safari with sky view. Everything was very well organised, communication was brilliant, our guide was very knowledgeable. The food was excellent too! Overall great value for money. The team even helped me with getting my PCR test, picking me up and taking me to the hospital on my return.

The operator is professional in all his work.. from booking to service provisions
I with my partiner choose a 3 daya package, visiting the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro. I liked the way the tour operator communjcated with us, before, during and after the trip. We had updates/debriefing in evert step we had to take. The staff were friendly and made us feel at home. Our tour guide, Dullah (Abdallar) who was our driver also was very good, knowledgeable of the wildlife and places and and very friendly. Our Chef, Emmanuel was an excellent cook. The meals he prepared made us feel at home away from home. I will definetely recommend the Tour operator to all friends intending to visit Tanzania

Great!
Myself and my partner have just returned safari with Sky View Adventures and we loved it all!
Our guide Julius was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and parks, answering all of our questions and made sure we got to see all of the big 5 over the three days! He even helped us get a great photo to remember the animals whenever he could!
We had food provided for us throughout the trip by the chef who put thought into a vegetarian option for us. Bottled water was also provided throughout the entire trip so no need to worry about bringing your own.
We visited Serengeti and Ngorongo crater during the days and we chose to stay on the campsite each night, which meant we were able to experience animals up close in the evening but under the watchful eye of rangers and our guide to keep us safe. If camping isn't for you, there's a lodge option which might suit some better but camping fits perfectly with the entire experience!
We've seen countless animals up close and in their natural habitat thanks to this experience and it really has been incredible. If you're looking for a company to book your safari with, I recommend Sky View Adventures!

Professional
Thank you very much for our experience from Sky View Adventures! Both myself and my partner just returned from a 5 day safari to the serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The service we received was extremely professional from our collection at the airport, our safari briefing and the actual experience itself.
Thanks to our guide Julius we managed to see all of the big 5 - rhino, elephant, leopard, lion and African buffolo. We also managed to see countless other amazing animals including a group of 5 cheetahs, lion cubs, maribu stork, eagles, zebra, antelope, kudu, giraffe and countless other animals that I couldn't possibly list.
With regards to the accommodation we stayed in the budget option which is a campsite, so if you are looking for luxury this may not be the best option for you but for us it massively enhanced the experience and gave us the opportunity to truly experience nature with like minded individuals. This made the experience much more exillerating, but beware if you choose this option it is a little scary at times as you are living with nature, again for us this made the experience unforgettable as many animals came into the campsite at night, we saw buffalo, kudu and elephant, but we did feel safe thanks to our guide staying at the site and the rangers keeping us safe.
The chef also looked after us well, providing us with vegetarian options each day.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Well organized, good people in team, very happy
Communication with Paul was excellent, his e-mails were to the point and it was a breeze to book and organize. Our driver was responsible person and chef cooked delicious food. But the main thing, safari, was amazing and we were so happy with overall experience. Thank you!

Excellent budget-friendly safaris
Perfect organization, communication and service. We booked a budget-friendly 4-day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Due to flight changes we could only do 3 days so they planned an extra day at Materuni falls especially for us, paid for our hotel and drove us around to restaurants. Excellent service, very friendly and helpful!

An amazing adventure
I did the 4 day/3 night camping safari, what an excellent experience!! Our guide Francis was very friendly, knowledgeable and importantly an excellent driver. The food was delicious and plenty, and the tents very comfortable. We kept dry even in the pouring rain.
I can definitely recommend Sky View Adventures!

excellent organization and communication by Paul!
I went on a 4 day safari through southern Serengeti, ngkrongoro crater, and tangarire park, and it was really spectacular. Paul really did an excellent job organizing everything, and having the option to communicate with him over Whatsapp made it easy to stay informed and to ask any questions.
The group I was in was somehow a mix of a few different companies, so don't be shocked if that happens, but the people in the truck were all very nice and we had a great time. The guide, Benson, was very knowledgeable and able to spot animals I never would have seen, like leopards in trees 300m away. I talked to some of the other people in my group as well who booked the exact same trip as me in Arusha, thinking they probably got a better price, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case, we paid nearly the same, and I got an airport transfer and hotel rooms both before and after the safari included in the price. I was a bit nervous carrying around so much cash, but it was possible to pay in advance using wire transfer, and then only a part when I arrived in cash.
The safari itself was really wonderful, we camped in normal tents 2 nights and a glamping kind of thing on the 3rd night. O e of the nights a hippo wandered into the campsite! We also managed to see the big 5 in the first 3 days, including one of the apparently 5 rhinos that live in ngorongoro! My impression is that the biggest differentiating factor once you're a really on safari is the lodging, because everyone basically goes to the same spots, eats the same food, sleeps in the same tents (if you're camping and not in a lodge), and rides in the same Toyota trucks, so I was very happy to have gotten what seems like a great price and definitely excellent organization from Paul.
If I were to go again, I would choose SkyView adventure!

A life-changing experience we will definitely repeat (only with Sky View Adventure)
My mother (55) and I (27) went on a 4 day safari at the beginning of March 2019. From the first contact with Paul Samuel via email Skyview Adventure proved to be an incredibly professional and experienced tour operator. The experience in Serengueti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire went far and above our expectations. Our guide (Francis) our cook (Tuma) and our guides in Arusha (Ali and Tualbu) were our highlights: always on time, friendly always, approachable and knowledgeable. They even went out of their way to take us around town (Arusha), to teach us some swahili, to share personal perspectives on politics, religion and social norms, We were amazed to see lions everyday, have amazing weather, to laugh together with other travellers in the Jeep (a magical car that took us through mud, stones, grasslands and riverbeds). We enjoyed so much the great conversations, the memorable views, the insights and the delicious food that we booked an extra day excursion to Materuni Waterfalls/Coffee Tour. We always felt welcomed and taken care of. All the arranged accommodations (Venice Hotel, Ambassador Hotel, Seronera Camp, Simba Camp and Migombani Campsite) were different and all memorable. Clean, friendly, comfortable and sturdy tents and mattresses. In short our trip to Tanzania was only possible and only so life-changing because of Skyview´s staff and organisation. There is not a single thing we can think of that could have been better. Thank you forever and farewell until we come back!
