A lifetime experience
We had a multigenerational Safari with 2x >70 years of age, 2x around 40 years of age and two kids 9&12 years.
Our guide Obedi was great and soon realized, that we are also very interested in birds. So apart from the big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) the elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, antilopes, etc., he also explained and found lots of wonderful birds for us. He drove very carefully and safe and did everything to fulfill all our wishes. The car was good and we didn’t experience a single problem. When he went to the petrol station in Serengeti on the third day, he left us at the visitors center and organized a great guide which showed us around.
We chose Big cats Safari because my sister and her family traveled with them last year and were extremely satisfied, and we were not disappointed a single minute of the trip.
We would definitely choose Big Cats Safari and Obedi again

Great experience and professional guide
We had a great time and would highly recommend the tour operator. Our guide was Matthew who took great care of us, and helped us in seeing many animals such as the big five. He was highly experienced and knowledgeable. Also, our accommodation was really great and unique while staying in the Serengeti.

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.

Alber qas very kind, he gave us a great experience and we felt extremely safe!
We had a 4-day, 3-night safari with Albert, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. On the first day, our group consisted of just four people (my friend and I included), and by the second day, three others joined, making it a full jeep. Despite the added numbers, Albert was incredibly attentive to everyone, ensuring that each person had the opportunity to fully enjoy the safari experience.
What stood out the most was how in tune Albert seemed to be with the movements of the animals. While the other jeeps would gather in one crowded area, Albert would often reposition us just a little further off, and time and time again, the animals would end up coming our way, giving us the best unobstructed views. He also made a real effort to accommodate those wanting more time to take photos, stopping in just the right places and using his experience to anticipate where the animals might cross next.
Beyond being a fantastic guide, Albert proved himself to be incredibly resourceful and helpful. On three separate occasions, we came across other safari jeeps that had broken down. In the first instance, Albert was the only driver, out of several who stopped, who actually had the tools needed to fix the issue. Thanks to him, the stranded group was back on the road quickly. On the second occasion, a jeep had 2 popped tires, and him along with others assisted woth replacing the tores. In another situation, a jeep needed a spare belt, which Albert had ready and willingly offered. These moments really highlighted not just his mechanical ability but his generosity and willingness to help others. This made us confident, that should we experience any jeep issues, Albert had the capability to fix and get us back on the road.
What really added to our peace of mind throughout the trip was Albert’s calm and careful driving. Safari roads can be rough terrain, but we always felt completely safe with his driving. His ability to navigate challenging terrain smoothly—and his instinct to stop and help others—made it clear that he wasn’t just focused on giving us a great experience, but also on ensuring safety and supporting those around him!!
Overall, Albert is more than just a safari guide—he's a skilled driver, a compassionate person, and someone who genuinely wants everyone to have the best experience possible, whether they're in his jeep or not.
I can't say enough good things about Albert, and I truly wish him the best in life and I will be recommending anyone I know to him, for a safari guide !

Amazing experience with the best tour guide ever
We did a sux days trip to Masái Mara, Amboseli and Nakuru. We went in good season, as in october there are lots of animals, not too many cars and the weather was perfect. However, we were extremely lucky to have Boni as our driver, because he was always trying to provide the best experience. With him, we show more than 20 lions, 20 rhinos, cheetahs, leopards and everything that can be seen there. We thing he was very important for our overall experience.

The most amazing adventure
Thanks to Alice for making such a perfect plan for our trip, we’ve really enjoyed the whole journey. Also our safari driver took a good care of us and showed us the big five in Africa with a lot of stories and knowledge. I am so satisfied with this perfect adventure that I definitely wanna come back again with Morningstar, for sure: )

From Sunrise in Tarangire to Sunset in Serengeti
I love taking pictures, so this trip was perfect. Everywhere from Tarangire to Serengeti, there are moments that are a mountain of regret to miss.
I have seen crocodiles on the banks of the Serengeti river to catch prey, and in Ngorongoro, I have encountered black rhinos and lions at close quarters. The guide has taught us a lot - the habits of the animals, the stories of the path, even his own experiences.
Every night I had dinner under the stars. Such an experience can not be described in words - ⟨⟨Seven Wonders Safaris⟩⟩ has really fulfilled the "adventure" as promised.

Morning Star made our Kenya adventure absolutely perfect!
We had an amazing experience with Morning Star!
From start to finish, Alice was amazing — super helpful, quick to reply, and really made the whole planning process so easy. We’re so grateful for her help!
Our driver and safari guide, James, was absolutely amazing. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals and always managed to position the car perfectly so we could see them from the best angles. The biggest surprise was on our very first safari drive — we actually witnessed two cheetahs fighting! It was such an unforgettable moment.
Everything went perfectly. Highly recommend Morning Star to anyone visiting Kenya!
