Masai Mara has to be seen by all once in your lifetime
On arrival in Nairobi, you really feel you have entered Africa. The people are very friendly and willing to help you in anyway.
Travel to and from the Masai Mara is, well lets just say, an adventure. Traffic is horrendous, roads are a poor state of repair and getting used to seeing lots of garbage at the side of the road takes a lot of getting used to.
However, once you reach the Masai Mara, you enter another world. The scenery is magnificent and with the help of a good guide, seeing the animals is beyond expectations.
If you cannot enjoy yourself here, you cannot enjoy yourself anywhere.

Beautiful people and exciting animals every day.
Even with all of the rain and flooding taking place in Kenya are experienced was amazing amazing. The people were beautiful and so willing to help and I could not believe all of the animals we were able to see every day.
Our trip was planned out in full detail by Esther.And our driver Duncan made everyday an adventure.We were able to visit three of the national parks and stayed in wonderful hotels along the way.
I cannot think of one thing. I would have changed other than maybe repairing a few pot holes in the roads, but it did not take away from our experience at all.

The GREATEST TO EVER DO IT! Innocent
Just finished the three day safari adventure. From start to finish had an amazing time. Our coordinator Happiness was communicative and responsive. Our transporter, Chief was funny, energetic, and informative. Our driver, Innocent provided history, excitement and enthusiasm throughout our entire journey. Even after long days, he had a smile on his face and brought a lot of enthusiasm throughout the entire drive. Cannot wait to show all my family friends, the amazing animals and other species we saw along our adventure.
10 out of 10; will come back!
Thank you again, Innocent!!! ❤️

A Trip of a Lifetime - a polished safari ticking all the boxes.
We went on the Six-Day Lion Trail - Botswana for 2people. It started in Maun, Botswana and ended in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We arrived the day before the start of the Safari. Were met at the Maun Airport by Liberty, our guide for the safari, and taken to Crocodile Lodge, that Skytheme Safaris had booked for us. There we met by Olorato Chombo,(Ozzi), the Director of Skytheme Safaris, who led us through the details of the safari and answered our questions about it, over a cool drink.
The next day we were picked up after breakfast at the lodge by Liberty and taken into town to buy our drinks and other shopping needs. We met our chef for the safari and he asked about our preferences for breakfast and other meals. My partner and I are both vegetarian and the chef had been advised in advance so was well prepared for this. After that we went back to the lodge and our suitcases were packed into our safari jeep. We set off on the road to Moremi Game Reserve. Even before we got near the reserve we had already seen a number elephants, giraffes and other wild animals. Liberty, our guide, was full of information and happy to stop along the way to let us excitedly take photos. When we arrived we were very impressed to find our camp had been completely setup and waiting for us. There was a was a spacious two-bed tent with a self-contained bathroom attached and a separate dining room where we relaxed and had a drink, before our first evening drive. The camp was pulled down and re-established in two other camp sights over the next 5 days by a team of three very pleasant men.
That was great start to the whole safari where we saw and learned about many wildlife including lions, elephants, crocodiles buffalo, leopards, hippos, wildebeest, warthogs and meany smaller animals as well. With just two of us in the 8-man jeep we had plenty of room and freedom to stop and start when we wanted to, always with the wisdom, freely given knowledge and amusement of Liberty, our guide.
Each day there were two drives, there was iced water and the drinks we had bought available in the jeep and a morning and sunset table set up along the drive. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were meticulously prepared and delicious. Dinners were served under the stars. We visited three very different areas, the Okavango Delta, Savuti swampland and Chobe National Park in the dryer north.
At the end of the safari we were picked met by a separate team to get us through the Zimbabwe border and spend 2 hours viewingthe astounding Livingston Falls before being delivered to the Livingston airport in time to catch an afternoon flight.
The whole safari and trip was seamlessly coordinated by Ozzi, Skytheme's director, including dealing with our unplanned one-day delay in arrival. My partner and I both agreed was a TRIP OF A LIFETIME!

Outstanding safari with fabulous guide
The two day safari was outstanding (Tanrangire and Ngorongoro Crater). Not only because of the beauty of the two areas, but because the guide was the best I ever had. Omary is extremely knowledgeable about the fauna, vegetation, Tanzanian culture including the Masai. He is friendly and funny. He is a very good driver. We saw 4 of the big five and many more animals (giraffes, zebras, ostriches, baboons, and birds. An unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Omary.

Great tour
The tour was very well organized. Our group was the only one on the tour so everything was flexible for us. We stayed at a couple of different places which allowed for different experiences during the tour. Everything went well from the schedule to communications. Not a bad word about the tour. :)

Very reliable and flexible tour operator providing the best services, always on time
I arranged my termin with Peter and he was ready to meet and go through the program before my departure, even adapt the program according to my wishes. He replied immediately to all my questions either via email or per whats app.
I was travelling with Mr. Anderson and we had very nice time I would say we even became friends during the whole trip so there was no lack of communication. My 9 day program was very intensive and I managed to see almost everything I wanted. The only factor that nobody can predict is the weather. I personally think the money was adequate for what I saw and what accommodation and food I had (much better than I expected) I could rely on Anderson anytime and I enjoyed the trip very much. He also had a very good knowledge about the country so he guided me often himself.
The only thing which everyone has to be aware of is the tips for tour guides/rangers, which are expected basically everywhere, however, it is also written in the contract, but might increase your expenses.
Thank you Buyaga for making my trip so adventurous and complex. I had opportunity to see really a lot.
