Absolute full marks go to Skyview of Africa Ltd. When Deb and I contacted Stephen for information regarding a request for a most intensive Safari opportunity during the two week Holiday season in December, he came through with the best package one could hope for - a complete comprehensive tour plan, with all the lodge bookings, (through the busiest time of the holiday season). Our personal expert guide Sam Peku made our trip safe and stress-free, with his wildlife knowledge we were fortunate to see all the "BIG 5", and many other majestic animals and birds of Africa. If you are considering a Safari in East Africa, please contact Skyview of Africa Ltd. as your best bet for a "TRIP OF A LIFETIME"!!! We did and loved it.

My husband and I wish thank Skyview of Africa Ltd and wonderful team for putting together an exciting honeymoon safari in Kenya and Tanzania, ending with a holiday in Victoria Falls. It was an amazing experience we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. We were particularly impressed with your choice of Serena lodges and Stanley Safari Lodge. We truly enjoyed the intimacy and warmth of these luxurious lodges. We’ll highly recommend your company to our friends and colleagues.  We’ll definitely come back to African for another safari. Expect us again. Thank you so much again.

Karen Schnell and her husband, Paul Newton, from Britain booked a Kenya, Tanzania and Victoria Falls honeymoon safari between Dec 13-28, 2010.

 
 

Stephen, as I had indicated to you earlier, this was our first holiday to Africa and we only knew about Africa from what we had read in the internet when researching for the best places to do our African safari. Although we had sent out safari requests to several tour operators in Africa and America, Skyview of Africa Ltd – in particular you (Stephen) – highly impressed us by putting together an exciting itinerary with great choice of lodges in both Kenya and Tanzania as well as Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel in Zanzibar and your timely responses to our emails and your wide and rich knowledge of the safari and lodges you were offering us. We also pay special tribute to our tour guides Richard Pulei in Kenya and Hamisi Harisi in Tanzania for ensuring a free flow of the itinerary by ensuring we were right on time in arriving in our every next destination and their wealth of knowledge of African wildlife. Your price for the safari was the most competitive and we enjoyed every penny. To be frank with you, our marvelous holiday exceeded our expect ions and dreams.

Andy Scott and his wife, Judy, from Texas in the USA booked a Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar safari between Dec 11-27, 2010.

 
 

We had an amazing experience on our safari throughout Tanzania and Kenya. From our guides, to the accommodations, everything was wonderful and we appreciated the smoothness of checking in and out of the hotels and lodges and how friendly everyone was to our group. Skyview of Africa Ltd put together this amazing trip for us and we all agree that it was the trip of a lifetime . . . We would so highly recommend your services to any who inquired . . . since we've been home, friends ask us what was the highlight of your trip? I can't seem to come up with an answer except to say, everything!

This was by far the most amazing trip we anticipated. Thank you so much for making this trip so worthy in terms of our cash and experience. We visited a Manyatta village in Masai Mara and had a wonderful time learning the culture and dances of the Maasai tribesmen. Victoria Falls adventure was quite amazing and was worth every penny we paid for the safari. Your driver/guides and the African people we came across were extremely hospitable. Our itinerary had a great combination of culture, game drives and adventure. Thank you for giving me and my friends a holiday of a lifetime. We got more than we expected.

Amee Gujarat and his 4 friends from India booked a Kenya-Tanzania-Victoria Falls safari between Aug 8-30 Aug 2010

 
 

We had a great time in Serengeti and Masai Mara. But the most enjoyable part of our safari is our overnight in Treetops Lodge in the Aberdares as we watched wild animals at the water-point under floodlights. We have amazing photos and will never forget this trip. Kudos to you and your firm for put together a great travel package for me and my wife. We knew about the amazing Africa from what we read on the internet what we saw on TV – but thanks to Skyview of Africa, we know it like our finger tips.

Prof Richard Michigan and his wife Paula from Chicago in America booked a Kenya and Tanzania safari between 25 July - 6 Aug 2010.

 
 

We planned our trip to Africa purposely to witness the extraordinary trek of wildebeests. We were not only lucky to come across the herds but our patience on the banks of Mara River paid off when the beests arrived and took the amazing plunge into the crocodile-infested river. Your guides in Tanzania and Kenya are incredibly experienced and have an uncanny ability to spot even the tiniest of animals, so that we didn't miss anything in the survival of the fittest in the African jungle. Sam ensured we were at the Mara River at the right time and we owe the crossing sighting to him. Thanks for making our dream come true!

Jonathan Power and his wife Suzie from Canada booked our 14 Days Migration Safari Tanzania & Kenya hot seller between 3-16 July 2010.

 
 

Stephen, your timely, well-informed, candid and insightful responses to all my queries left me with no doubt that you have a good mastery of African tourism and you have great passion for your job. Other tour operators I had contacted, alongside your company, took long to respond to my queries and some answers left serious doubts about the services they offered. Your patience amazed me and gave me confidence I was dealing with a worthy travel agent. As we boarded our departure flight at Zanzibar Airport on the last day of our holiday, I was glad we picked you to plan our African safari. Once again, thanks for putting together a detailed and informative itinerary with a superb selection of lodges. Our wonderful stay at Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel in Zanzibar cupped the happiness and fulfillment of a great holiday.

Rita Dominic and her husband, Hezron, and their 3 children from America booked a Kenya-Tanzania-Zanzibar safari between 20 June- 4 July 2010.

 
 

This was our first safari to Africa. We carried rich memories about your great country and your great company and members of staff back home. We are glad we settled to your company from the choice of five other operators, three being international travel agencies.

I just wanted to write and tell you what a fantastic time we had on our safari with our guide Sam Peku. It was truly an awesome experience. Sam is an amazing guide. He was very professional, personable, and worked very hard to make sure that we had a great time. He even went out of his way to guide us out of Nairobi once we picked up our car.

Kenya is a beautiful country, and though some may say that its greatest resources are its animals and national parks, I would argue that Kenya's greatest resource is its people. Thank you for all of your efforts on our behalf. We couldn't have chosen a better way to start our honeymoon.

My wife and I highly recommend using the travel services of Skyview of Africa Tours & Safaris Ltd. When we were planning our safari from the United States, we contacted a number of local travel agencies, as well as a few international ones. Not only did Skyview provide the most comprehensive and responsive customer service but they gave us far better flexibility and affordability than any of the other agencies.

Skyview’s Managing Director, Stephen Muiruri, personally responded to every one of our emails within 24 hours and put together a top-notch Kenyan safari, including a week-long excursion to Zanzibar, at a much more affordable price than his competitors.
My wife and I have already recommended Stephen to a number of our friends and relatives. Our dream safari wouldn’t have been realised without our able guide Sam Peku.

Having lived in the Middle East and having traveled to over fifty countries, I can say from experience that Skyview’s customer service is the best in the business. From the minute I contacted Stephen with our proposed itinerary to the time we were on the ground in Kenya, we felt comfortable and confident with our decision to use Skyview. As for the safari itself, I highly recommend to all those interested in a life-changing experience, book an African safari through Skyview Ltd.

Tim Kennedy & Paige Valdiserri, Washington, D.C: They booked a bush and beach safari to Kenya, Mombasa and Zanzibar between August 2-16, 2009.

 
 

This was our first trip to Africa. We couldn’t have chosen a better tour operator. We were delighted with your service and our tour guide, Sam.

Vishwa Chandra and his wife, Anu Sharma, booked a bush and beach safari to Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar Island between July 15-29, 2009.

 
 

I want you to know that we had the BEST time. It was a fantastic trip. Sam was a GREAT driver/guide. I would recommend him to anyone. Our visit to Victoria Falls at
the Stanley Lodge was the perfect ending. Every arrangement worked out
perfectly.

I will recommend you to everyone that asks about our experience. We could not have asked for a better "safari" experience or a better introduction to African wildlife.

Dr Albert Harris and his wife Jacqueline, from America, did a safari in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia’s Victoria Falls between May 21-June 2, 2009.

 
 

The safari was good, nice hotels, good suggestion the Holiday Inn in Nairobi and Sam a safe and smart driver. We appreciated very much the job you have done. We will travel again with you or I will send to you same other clients.

Valentina and I couldn't be more satisfied of the service you gave us, we are both surprised of your knowledge of the territory and animals in the masai mara and of the whole area around. We had great time with Richard, professional, friendly, thanks you him we actually did a very good "TEAM SAFARI". Having said that, I talked to Richard, I promised that we will advise any of our friends to choose your service!

When I proposed marriage to my fiancée, I thought it would also be a great idea to give her an additional surprise – we go for a honeymoon safari to enjoy the famous gorillas of Uganda and Rwanda. Initially, she never liked the idea. Later on, she reluctantly agreed when I convinced her that the safari would be so fantastic as none of us had ever seen the primates. Thanks to the great safari you planned for us, my newly-wedded wife is now full of praises of the great adventure we had in the land of the gorillas and you have saved my new marriage and the love of my life! Keep up your good work Skyview and your able team. Antonio

We had a wonderful flight back to Frankfurt and we just wanted to thank your team and your company for the romantic honeymoon safari we did in Northern Tanzania and Zanzibar. We had an amazing time and everything was far better than we ever expected. You have a treasure in Ahmed, your guide.

Ivica Podolski and Lena, Germany, visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar in June 2008

 
 
Thank you for organising an unforgetable and enjoyable two and a half week Safari.

Using a local Kenyan company we were not only able to support Kenyan enterprise, we got a personal custom designed holiday with our own van and driver for the same price as a standard package in a shared van from a European Tour Operator.

For us there is no comparison.

I had a great time on my safari weekend. Thanks so much Skyview of africa for your efficient arrangements.

The Sarova Mara hotel was wonderful - the food was great and plentiful, the service very kind and solicitous. The game drives were outstanding. Our dirver, William, was first on the seen of a python squeezing a jackal to death with the jackal's partner circling in distress. It was amazing.

Best regards,

Dear Stephen,

We had a great adventure in Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. Zanzibar was truly a perfect choice for us to relax and enjoy the Indian Ocean waters. I and my wife will definitely recommend your company to our friends.

Stefan Mykjaaland and his wife, Solveig, Norway, visited Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar in May 2008

 
 

My group was happy with the excellent arrangements you made for our safari to Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Peterson, was great and he really put in extra effort to make our holiday quite a success and memorable. The group was delighted they made it to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.

Our trip to Africa was awesome. In particular, we liked the tour of Robben Island and the jail that was for years the home of Nelson Mandela. Stephen, everything went perfectly as planned to our great satisfaction. Wish you good luck. Regards.

David Homes and three others from the US visited Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa in May/June 2008.

 
 

It was a wonderful holiday. I and my husband have previously made two safaris to Africa through other tour operators. But the holiday you organised for us in South Africa was the loveliest holiday we have had by far. Thanks very much for all your efforts in putting it together.
