African Skimmer Safaris is a professional tour operator providing amazing custom safaris.
I have booked multiple trips through African Skimmer Safaris over several years. The company always provides knowledgeable guides who are friendly and professional throughout the trip. The guides are always on-time, if not early, and eager to get to know the group. The vehicles are well maintained with cold water always available. During the game drives, guides share an abundance of details about any animal we come across, from the smallest birds to the larger animals. They offer outstanding trips at a reasonable price point, whether it is a day trip from Nairobi or a longer multi-day / multi-park trip.
On my most recent trip, we did a multi-day safari, starting at the Kenya-Tanzania border and visiting Amboseli National Park and Tsavo West National Park. When arranging this trip, African Skimmer Safaris was very flexible in dealing with our dynamic travel plans. I could not have asked for a better company to work with. They effortlessly coordinated our transfer from our hotel in Tanzania to the guide at the border. Our guide was early to our pick up point on Day 1, giving a smooth start to the trip. From there we had a wonderful afternoon game drive in Amboseli, followed by a full day in the park including a picnic lunch with an amazing view. The next day we moved on to Tsavo West for another couple fantastic drives. We arrived back in Nairobi on time with no problems.

An unforgettable honeymoon safari – thanks to Colours' professionalism and heart
My friend visited Tanzania for a safari this February and had an amazing experience. She highly recommended Colours Africa Tours and Safaris to us, so we chose them for our honeymoon as well.
Hatibu Yasini, our Journey Organizer, was exceptionally dedicated and responsible. Despite the time difference with China, he always responded promptly and resolved every issue we had with great reliability and care.
Mr. GoodLuck was our guide – highly experienced, knowledgeable, and humorous. On our very first day, we spotted four of the Big Five, and he also took us to a private sighting of a leopard. We even witnessed the spectacular Great Migration river crossing. He took care of us like an elder brother, with genuine warmth and humility.
Tom, our photographer for the entire trip, was a shy but incredibly hardworking young man. He did an excellent job, and we have already received the selected photos – they are so stunning that we plan to print them and frame them at home. The wildlife truly has an irresistible charm.
This was our first safari in Tanzania and our first visit to Africa. We feel so fortunate to have met Colours and all their staff. Every accommodation and activity was perfectly arranged. It was an unforgettable honeymoon, and choosing Colours was absolutely the right decision.

Exceptional tour that exceeded expectations
I have just completed my safari adventure and it was awesome. Our guides Richard (Kenya) and Goodluck (Tanzania) were incredible. They were so patient and accommodating and made sure we had the very best experience possible. They often worked longer days to ensure that we got to see and do everything possible in each park. Both were incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviours as well as the landscape and the culture of its inhabitants. Could not rate more highly. A trip of a lifetime. Thank you for the unforgettable memories!

Amazing safari tour with Steve and Lewis
Incredible tour through Tarangiri, Serengeti and Ngorobgoro national parks. Our guide Steve was amazing, he shared so many information about Africás life, Masais, animals. He answered all the questions, and described every place we went through. He is really like wikipedie. He took care about us all the time. I really recommend Steve and Lewis as the best guides ever.

From first email to Amboseli’s final sunset, Elite Ways made every moment unforgettable. Thank you!
After comparing several safari companies based on my budget, preferred dates, and customer reviews, I decided to get in touch with Elite Ways. Looking back, I’m so glad I did.
From the very beginning, Susan made the whole booking process easy. Booking a safari from overseas and sending money to a company you’ve never used can be a little nerve-racking, but Susan was always quick to reply, professional, patient, and incredibly kind. She answered every question I had with care, always reassured me, and never made me feel like I was asking too much. More than the great reviews, it was Susan’s warmth and professionalism that gave me the confidence to book with EliteWays.
While I was spending some time in Kenya, I recommended EliteWays to a friend, and we ended up going on the safari together. She also dealt with Susan and had exactly the same experience. Even when we asked questions we’d already covered, just to reassure ourselves, Susan was always happy to answer them again. That level of patience and customer service really stood out.
On the day of the safari, we had the pleasure of being picked up by Sospeter. He arrived on time in a spotless, well-maintained vehicle, complete with binoculars for us to use. We were also incredibly lucky to have the vehicle to ourselves, which made the experience even more special.
Sospeter was fantastic. His knowledge of the wildlife was genuinely impressive, and it was clear how passionate he is about what he does. He seemed to know every bird, every animal, and was always happy to share interesting facts without overwhelming us. We also had some wonderful conversations about Kenya, its culture, and everyday life. By the end of the trip, it honestly felt like we had spent the day with a friend.
He really went out of his way to give us the best experience possible, making sure we had great views of the wildlife while always respecting the animals. We saw so many elephants, beautiful birds, and plenty of other wildlife. One of the highlights was the sunset in Amboseli. Sospeter made sure we reached the perfect spot in time, and it was honestly one of the most beautiful sunsets either of us has ever seen.
Throughout the safari we felt safe, relaxed, and very well looked after. The mid-range accommodation was good, comfortable, and with good dinner and breakfast.
We came away with amazing memories, incredible photographs, and an even greater appreciation for Kenya and its wildlife.
A huge thank you to Susan for making the booking process so smooth and reassuring, and to Sospeter for sharing not only his knowledge but also his genuine love for Kenya and its wildlife. They are both wonderful at what they do and truly reflect the warmth and hospitality of the country.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend EliteWays to anyone planning a safari. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

Amazing experience, would definitely recommend!
The safari was amazing, Fransisca arranged everything for us including making some last minute adjustments to the accommodations.
Our guide was Joshua, he was a great driver and not only did he manage to find the big 5 and lots of animals but he was also very knowledgeable about the wildlife and shared lots of info about the Tanzanian culture and the Maasai's. Something not minor is that he is very kind and always eager to help other cars when they break down. We highly recommend Mellivora!
