Great experience and perfect organisation of our trip to Kenya
We took private safari trip with Skywide Tours and Travel and we knew we were in good hands as soon as we started the correspondance with Skywide by email. They responded quickly to our request and were able to adapt the safari to our personal wishes. The lodges proposed by the agency were lovely and vey high standards, since we like smaller and more eco accomodations instead of big hotels they also adapted the safari to our needs and made sure the places we stay are still high standards.
Our tour guide and driver was very knowledgable and nice, flexible to adapt the hours for safaris and other trips to our wishes, found places to try local food and even teached us some Kenyan songs. It was all in all a great experience and I can highly recomend this agency.
The only thing we regret is doing most of our trip in Kenya by car and we might prefer flying some long distances instead, since the roads are sometimes not the best and very busy. That was of course our choice and we cannot blame the agency. If you would like to reserve some internal flights, I would also recomend to do it through Skywide, since they can advise you which airport is the closest and which flight to take (this includes small airports and flights that are otherwise hard to find online). The plane they reserved for us from Diani to Nairobi was very nice and modern as well. They also picked us up at our arrival to Nairobi and drove us to our Nairobi hotel, even through our safari with them only started two days later.

Efficient
Everything about our tour was handled beautifully. We were well cared for and had a marvelous time. Our driver/guide was very knowledgable and friendly and accommodated our desire to start about before sunrise. He went the extra mile for us to see 5 lions. We enjoyed our trip to Amboseli very much.

Eexcellent trip with friendly guide, highly recommended.
Overall excellent experience during the entire 5 days. We visited several tribes during our visit and saw many different types of wildlife, including lions, zebras, herds of elephants and giraffes as well as many other animals. Accommodations varied from an adequate tent with working plumbing, to a tent in bad condition with a broken toilet seat, then back to a nice hotel. Our driver (Jimmy) was excellent and friendly, as well as helpful the entire 5 days. The vehicle we drove in had excellent viewing windows and a roof which opened, allowing for many photo opportunites of animals close up.
A highly recommended experience for Travellers not afraid to rough it in tents or spend 5 hours a day driving, who are up for seeing the Safari closeup and having a unique experience.

Skywide Tours were very efficient, helpful and prompt with email responses.
We were very happy with the service that we received from Skywide Tours. From the first email all our questions and concerns were answered promptly. Skywide Tours were able to book our whole trip which included Victoria Falls, Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Safari, Maasai Mara Safari and Nairobi. It was very helpful that one company could handle all our travel needs. We dealt with Peter Muthike and he was very helpful with arranging our trip to our requirements, as we were on a budget. I'm sure we must have driven him mad with all the changes and additions to our trip, but he was always very positive and helpful in his responses. The whole trip went without any problems. There was always a car to pick us up at airports and hotels. The Safaris were excellent. On the Tanzania Safari with Antelope Safaris we saw the big 5! The Maasai Mara safari was also wonderful. We only saw 3 of the big 5, but not for lack of trying by our driver/guide. Our accommodation was 3* due to our budget. All the permanent tented camps and lodges that we stayed at were clean and comfortable, with lovely staff and unique locations. Always pack a torch as the camps run on generators and the power is only on from 6pm-10pm and in the morning 6am - 8am! It was wonderful that Peter and David from Skywide Tours took time out to come and meet us in Nairobi, where their office is. We highly recommend this company for your tours and safaris in Africa.

Well organized tour with an excellent driver/guide
It was an excellent experience for us to see a variety of wildlife, especially many herds of elephants, a large number of flamingos. Unfortunately, Mt. Kilimanjaro was mostly in the cloud, we could see the top of the mountain for a while. The driver/guide, Joseph is very good, His guidance was good, he understood what we want, and he behaved accordingly. Accomodation at Kibo Safari Camp was fine.
One point I should like to suggest is that it would be much pleasant if we could have picnic lunch at an open terrace or in the open field, not in the dark house of a souvenir shop.
