We had a group one-day safari organized by Mafie Adventures from Arusha to Ngorongoro. It was very well organized, car was very comfortable, our driver was professional, he told us interesting facts about the nature and was able to show us spectacular animal sightings. We had also very tasty breakfast and lunch included. Full recommendation from me!

Fantastic experience
David at Travel Creations helped us to create a bespoke safari for 6 nights from Maun to Kasane. We travelled through the Okavango delta, Kwai, Savuti and Chobi national parks , and the campsites were private and in scenic locations. The camp staff were exceptional, and the food cooked by Bishop was fabulous and he catered for me being veggie so I never missed out !
We had an excellent Mokoro ride as part of our safari, as well as a boat ride on the Chobi river and a bush walk too. Our guide T.C. was very knowledgeable and experienced, and managed to help us see all the big cats, wild dogs, and a wealth of other sightings . 5 star recommendation .

We had an AMAZING experience with Sky Theme Safaris after being recommended by Safaris By Ella.
The owner Olly arranged everything for us in a timely manner, not easy with only 10 days notice. We had a fantastic guide in Mopane (known affectionately as Muffin). He was an incredible, highly trained tracker with an innate ability to take us (and radio assist guides from other trucks) over tricky terrain to catch fantastic sightings such as a cheetah and her 3 cubs, 2 lion prides, leopard, ... I could go on. He was known in the park as the Lion King/Whisperer, the other drivers would tell us this ... and to top it off he is just a lovely human being. We also had a brilliant chef in Eddie and his assistants Omphile and Raps made sure we were warm and comfortable at all times. Together they were a great team!
We have been on at least 10 game drives/safaris in several countries now and this was by far our best experience; a truly wonderful adventure. I can highly recommend Sky Theme Safaris

The best safari with the best guide
It was a spectacular safari, made even more special by our guide, Gerard. From start to finish, he made the whole experience friendly, comfortable and enjoyable, always attentive to our needs. He never missed a single animal or a special moment, and made sure we didn’t either.
It was the best adventure, made even better by the feeling of safety and confidence he gave us throughout the entire trip. Thank you, GERARD, for making it so unforgettable!

An incredible first safari experience in Tanzania
This was our first safari experience in Tanzania, and it turned out to be an unforgettable trip.
Our guide and driver, Captain James, made a huge difference to the experience. He has extensive knowledge of the animals, the ecosystem, and life on the African savannah. We learned a lot from him because he was always willing to explain what we were seeing and answer our questions.
James was also an excellent driver. He was careful and paid close attention to the condition of the vehicle, including stopping to check it during the safari. We always felt safe with him. At the same time, he was extremely patient when looking for wildlife and had a great eye for spotting animals.
One of the most memorable parts of the trip was witnessing the Great Migration crossing. We were incredibly lucky to see two crossings on the same day — one smaller crossing and another much larger one. James put a lot of effort into finding the best opportunities for us, and we were also fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five during our safari.
Beyond the animals, we really enjoyed seeing how different the landscapes were throughout the trip. Every day offered something different, and seeing so many wild animals in their natural environment was an incredible experience.
The accommodation and food were good overall. The safari lunches were mostly packed lunches, which we understood was part of the safari experience. James also remembered our dietary preferences and even noticed when one of our lunches had been prepared incorrectly.
Overall, Key2Africa provided us with a well-organized and memorable safari experience. We highly recommend the company, and especially Captain James. His knowledge, patience, careful driving, and dedication to finding wildlife made our first safari in Tanzania truly special.

An unforgettable safari experience with Key2Africa and Captain James
We had an amazing safari experience with Key2Africa Safaris and would definitely give them five stars.
What impressed us most was the overall planning and organization of the trip. Before the safari, their communication was excellent. They responded quickly and answered our questions in detail, which made the whole planning process very smooth and reassuring.
Our guide and driver, Captain James, was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. He has excellent knowledge of wildlife and the African savannah. He was always happy to explain what we were seeing and answer all of our questions. His driving skills were also excellent. He paid close attention to the condition of the vehicle and regularly checked it during the safari, which made us feel very safe throughout the trip.
James was also very good at spotting animals. He worked extremely hard to find wildlife for us and was especially determined to help us see a Great Migration crossing. We were incredibly lucky to witness two crossings on the same day — one smaller crossing and another with a much larger number of animals. We also managed to complete our Big Five sightings during the trip!
The accommodation and food were good overall. We appreciated that the company provided a quote based on the accommodation level we requested. Safari lunches were generally packed lunches, which was fine for us. James also remembered the foods we do not eat. On one occasion, the camp prepared the wrong lunch for us, but James noticed it immediately and helped take care of the issue.
The only small downside was that the safari vehicle did not have Wi-Fi. However, James was very thoughtful and provided his own mobile data for us, so this did not really affect our experience.
We saw an incredible variety of wildlife and beautiful landscapes throughout the trip. None of our friends had been to Tanzania before, and we also had not done a huge amount of research online. We compared around five or six safari companies before choosing Key2Africa, and we are very happy with our decision.
We highly recommend Key2Africa Safaris, and we especially recommend Captain James. His knowledge, driving skills, patience, and dedication made our safari truly unforgettable.

Absolutely amazing
This was a solo trip for my birthday to the Mara and Robert and his team went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Grace was so patient with all my questions and made sure to get me the best deal possible. His team also organised a very cute and personal birthday surprise which was the sweetest thing. Our guide was Joshua and he was extremely skilled at driving and made sure we had the best sightings possible while being in accordance with the rules of the parks. I would highly recommend travelling with this team!!
