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!
