Self Drive for 10 Days
We rented a Rav4 for self-drive for 10 days in February. Didas was great before, during and after answering my MANY questions. The car itself had a lot of mileage (200,000 km), but worked fine! There was free delivery of the car to our hotel in Arusha, we then left it at our hotel near the airport (for a fee). Our security deposit was refunded right away when the car was returned. During the time that we had the car we drove to Lake Manyara, Arusha park, Lake Diluti, coffee plantations near Moshi etc. We had planned to go to Lake Eyasi, but the roads were too difficult for us. In retrospect, it would have been better had we hired a driver/guide for at least half the time (for Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyara), and then done the other part on our own. We rented the car in early February, after it had been raining a lot, and some of the roads were flooded and difficult for us. Having an experienced driver on hand would have allowed us to enjoy the trip more. However we strongly recommend the company.

Fantastic!
Our trip was nothing less than fantastic! Bison worked with our priorities for sites to see and our timetable. They did a great job at ensuring we saw what we had hoped for. Having a nice itinerary planned with activities and travel settled was such a nice treat! The stress of traveling in a foreign country was gone! Loved the activities planned and also the cars we traveled in were great! It was such a relaxing and wonderful trip!

What a perfect safari trip, every detail is planned in advance according to the season and the animals’ locations
Booked a safari trip for family of 5 in March 2020.
The pre booking process was very pleasant. Gladis was kind and presented us with a unique itinerary tailored to our needs with lots of useful information answered in a professional manner.
William, our tour guide picked us up from the airport with a new Land Cruiser and welcoming snacks & drinks.
William escorted us for 6 full days. He is very knowledgeable, always available and provides excellent service.
Our schedule included an authentic village tour with a local guide and a special Tanzanian lunch in a banana plantation, a fabulous 5 day safari trip with amazing views of animals in their natural habitat, including lions, cheetahs, buffalos, wild beasts, zebras and many more.
The acacia migration camp was definitely something to write home about: sleeping in spacious tents with private showers, wildlife sounds throughout the night, warm camp in the evening fire and a very hospitable staff at your service at all times, waiting to fill the bucket with hot water for your shower.
In summary I would say it was a memorable experience

Fantastic Tour
Fastastic tour between Serengeti and Ngorongoro and final week in zanzibar in Mchanga Beach Resort.
Perfect lodges and we have seen all big five more and more times and the gnu crossing has been very amazing.
We had the best days inside the wild.
Thank you safari avventura for great organisation and day by day support during safari.

Efficient 2D1N Trip
Overall, an efficient 2D1N trip covering two neighboring countries. We chose to do the gorilla trekking in Uganda since it is a more affordable option, but still manage to city tour Rwanda's capital city. Would highly recommend to those people who do not have much time.
Abdul was our guide for the trip and he was very attentive. The day we had to drive cross country from Kigali to Bwindi National Park (7 hours drive), the border happened to be close for 2-3 hours. So Abdul took the initiative to phone his colleague to drive another car to the other side of the border.
After clearing custom at Rwandan side, we left our car behind and walk 100 meter to Ugandan customer. Upon clearing Ugandan custom, we took the other car driven by his colleague to continue our drive. His colleague would then wait to get our original car. It was such a thoughtful way in making sure we would not waste time getting stuck at the custom.
On the day of our trek, Abdul ensured that we were assigned to the right gorilla family. We were initially concerned as the average return trip takes around 8-10 hours. In order to catch our flight, we have to complete the trekking within 4-5 hours max. Abdul helped us communicate to the rangers to assign us to the gorilla family closest in distance to the main road in order to avoid taking the risk missing our flights.
Thank you for the hospitality, Encounter Africa Safaris.

A life-changing experience we will definitely repeat (only with Sky View Adventure)
My mother (55) and I (27) went on a 4 day safari at the beginning of March 2019. From the first contact with Paul Samuel via email Skyview Adventure proved to be an incredibly professional and experienced tour operator. The experience in Serengueti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire went far and above our expectations. Our guide (Francis) our cook (Tuma) and our guides in Arusha (Ali and Tualbu) were our highlights: always on time, friendly always, approachable and knowledgeable. They even went out of their way to take us around town (Arusha), to teach us some swahili, to share personal perspectives on politics, religion and social norms, We were amazed to see lions everyday, have amazing weather, to laugh together with other travellers in the Jeep (a magical car that took us through mud, stones, grasslands and riverbeds). We enjoyed so much the great conversations, the memorable views, the insights and the delicious food that we booked an extra day excursion to Materuni Waterfalls/Coffee Tour. We always felt welcomed and taken care of. All the arranged accommodations (Venice Hotel, Ambassador Hotel, Seronera Camp, Simba Camp and Migombani Campsite) were different and all memorable. Clean, friendly, comfortable and sturdy tents and mattresses. In short our trip to Tanzania was only possible and only so life-changing because of Skyview´s staff and organisation. There is not a single thing we can think of that could have been better. Thank you forever and farewell until we come back!

Amazing people, amazing service, an overall amazing experience.
Never a hiccup, since the day I contacted Waves Safari Derrick was there to answer all my questions and solve all my doubts.
Our 3 day Safari with Sammy went beyond expected! We had a lucky star guiding us through our experience and we got to see all big 5 and many of thems, having a one-on-one with 10 Lyons and a very close up with a white Rino. Hotel choose and pick was absolutely aligned with my needs and what I was actually quoting by myself , so like they read my mind.
I recommend eyes closed Waves Safari, and we are so thankful for all that they did for us.
