A tour service that exceeded our expectations!
We had a great game safari in Botswana travelling from Maun to Kasane, passing through Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta and Kobe National Park. our driver, Doctor, was an excellent guide and a driver. He was relentless in his effort to show us as many lions and leopards as possible. He would go the extra mile to track the foot prints of the lions to reach their hide-outs; though not always with success. We saw lions galore. We also had the privilege of receiving excellent services from three people (chef, waiter and a helper) who accompanied us to the camp sites. The chef cooked delicious meals for lunch, dinner and breakfast. They were so good that we asked about the recipe for almost every meal. The waiter was a young man who was eager to do anything we asked him to do. The helper was equally good by making our beds, providing us with hot water whenever we asked and doing all other chores exceptionally well which fell under his responsibility. Our tented bedroom was spacious... Read more and the beds were very comfortable. It was the first time we stayed in a tent and our experience was wonderful.
Thank you Olly and his team.

Unforgettable experience
An amazing 9 day safari through Botswana, staying at 4 different locations and tenting all the way. KB our guide had fantastic knowledge of both animals and birds and always managed to find animals and position us for maximum viewing. The 5 staff who came with our group of 5 worked tirelessly looking after us, nothing was any trouble and they did it all with smiles on their faces. Brighten, our cook, produced outstanding food, all cooked over an open fire, right down to gluten free bread, wow!
We saw more animals than we could have imagined, and more than just ticking them off, we learned so much about their habits and behaviors. Thanks Olly, KB and the team, it was so special!

A special experience in Botswana.
We did the 8 night Safari tour with Sky Theme Safaris from Maun to Victoria Falls.
The entire experience was brilliant. Everything was taken care of and was provided at the highest standard.
Our guide was with us throughout Botswana and was extremely knowledgeable and open to answering questions.
The campsites were impeccable, and the highest standard of camping I’ve ever undertaken. The camp crew ensured everything was taken care of, from hot water for showers to the bedding in the tent itself. The food from the camp team was brilliant and was more than enough.
Overall, I cannot rate this highly enough. It was a truly 5 star experience and I recommend anyone to book with Olly and SkyTheme Safaris.

The 8-day Botswana and Victoria Falls safari was very well-organized. Our guide was skilled and shared great insights. We saw a lot of elephants, lions, and the stunning Victoria Falls. The itinerary was balanced, and the price-performance ratio was excellent. Highly recommend!

Sky Theme Safaris offer a well-rounded and an incredible experience! Highly recommend
We recently had the pleasure of traveling to Zimbabwe and Botswana with Sky Theme Safaris. We did their 9-Day Victoria
Falls+Chobe+Makgadikgadi+Okavango Delta tour and I highly recommend it.
This tour was a breathtaking journey through two of Southern Africa's most stunning countries. From the majestic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to the rich wildlife of Botswana's Okavango Delta, every moment was filled with awe and adventure.
Organization and Planning: From the moment I inquired about the tour, Olly (owner of Sky Theme Safaris) and his team were responsive and thorough. They helped me customize my itinerary to include all the highlights I wanted to see, such as Victoria Falls and the wildlife of Chobe National Park. Their attention to detail made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
Accommodations: The lodges and hotels selected were fantastic! Each place was comfortable, clean, and offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. The staff... Read more at each location were friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.
Vegetarian Food Requirements: We were particularly impressed with Olly and team accommodated our vegetarian dietary needs. Every meal was delicious offering a variety of options that made dining a pleasure. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meals.
Guided Tours: Our guide, Brian, was incredible—knowledgeable, enthusiastic and always ready to answer questions. He made each experience engaging and memorable. His passion for the region’s wildlife and culture truly enhanced the tour. We spotted hippos, crocodiles, elephants, zebras, lions, buffaloes and many birds while learning about the unique ecosystem from our guide.
Activities: Olly and team arranged a wonderful mix of activities, from exhilarating safaris in Chobe National Park to an adventurous drive in the Okavango Delta. The boat safari on the Chobe River offered an incredible perspective of wildlife. Every day was filled with adventure, and we appreciated the variety they offered.
Customer Service: Throughout the trip, Olly and Brian checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, more so given our parents who are senior citizens (above 70 yrs of age) were travelling with us. It was reassuring to know that they were just a call away if we needed assistance.
Final Thoughts: Overall, my experience with Sky Theme Safaris was exceptional and it was worth every penny. They provided a seamless and unforgettable adventure through Zimbabwe and Botswana. If you’re looking for a well-organized tour with amazing experiences, look no further than Olly and Sky Theme Safaris!!

An incredible deep dive into Botswana's wildlife!
I booked the 4-Day Okavango & Moremi tour as a solo traveler with a general idea of what to expect, but all four days exceeded my every expectation. My guide, Liberty, and the rest of excellent team kept me laughing and learning. Liberty was a wealth of knowledge about the animal life (birds included), and he was able to help me spot wildlife I never would have been able to find on my own. His expert guiding enabled me to see elephants, hunting wild dogs, baby hyenas, lions, a leopard, and so, so many more animals. Each meal provided was its own masterpiece. The chefs cooked over an open fire (a skill in itself), and it was evident that love was poured into each meal. From fresh chocolate cake to a spinach frittata, I was never hungry. I could not have eaten better at a Michelin star restaurant. I was so glad the itinerary included the mokoro experience as it allowed for the Okavango Delta to be experienced in such as tranquil and unique way. I could not recommend Liberty and everyone... Read more else at Skytheme Safaris enough. The experience from start to finish was professional yet personalized.

Olly's team lead by Liberty were fun and very informative
Our Guide Liberty and his team KG, Dennis and Dickie took excellent care of us. Our tent and the amenities were comfortable. We had no want for warm water either in the makeshift sink outside the tent or for the bucket shower in our "ensuite". KG the chef prepared wonderful wholesome meals for lunch and dinner. We especially loved his morning porridge and the midmorning coffee and snack he prepared for us to have while out on the morning safari. Over 7 days we travelled from the Khwai Concession on the Okavango through Savuti to Chobe, all diverse habitats seeing a stunning array of species from pygmy mongoose, and honey badgers at one end to jackals, wild dogs, lions on the move, hippos, even a leopard, giraffe, all manner of antelope and herds of elephant. And I haven't even mentioned the prolific bird life. Without Liberty's astute eye we would have missed a number of these. His knowledge of these habitats, both the flora and fauna is extensive and is volunteered with clarity and patience. A safari worth repeating and recommending.
