An experience to remember!! - We enjoyed this 3-day safari package with the family. The most fascinating of all the national parks to visit were Tarangire and Ngorongoro Craters. At the end of the safari, we took some wonderful pictures there. The guides gave us in-depth information about the wildlife and forests of each park. Our entire trip was very educational and enjoyable, and we enjoyed every moment.

An amazing 3 day safari trip - a trip of a lifetime - 3 Day Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater
and Tarangire National Parks.
An amazing 3 day Safari trip that went far
beyond our expectations. From start to
finish the experience was nothing short of
excellent thanks to our expert driver and
guide Shirimi from Silver Sky Travel. His
expertise in driving and knowledge of the
areas, flora and fauna and all the animals
and birds and where to find them each day
w a s exemplary.
On arrival at Arusha Airport after a short
comfortable flight with Precision Air, we
were met by Shirimi who advised that we
had a slight change of itinerary swapping
day 1 for day 3, which turned out to be
excellent advice.
After leaving the airport we travelled to
Lake Manyara where we saw, baboons,
giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, warthogs, many
elephants and an abundance of birds all in
natural habitats. We viewed elephants and
hippos wallowing in the lake at quite close
range and had many opportunities for
photos and videos. Shirimi provided us
with a picnic lunch whilst we chatted
a b o u t h i s i n t e r e s t in all t h e a n i m a l s a n d
birds. After a very enjoyable day we drove
to our lodge/accommodation Eileen's
Trees w h e r e w e w e r e m e t with h o t t o w e l s
and a welcome drink by friendly staff who
s h o w e d u s t o o u r a c c o m m o d a t i o n w h i c h
was very comfortable and in a perfect
setting. We relaxed by the poolside before
eating a delicious buffet dinner with lots of
choice of meats, vegetables and salad and
reasonably priced drinks. We had a very
good sleep in a comfortable cool room.

Later, after we had lunch, Shirimi had
information there had been a leopard
spotted in a tree nearby and we had an
exciting race to get to the site before some
of the other drivers. Shirimi's knowledge of
the layout of the park and excellent driving
skills got us there, and parked in a prime
spot for viewing the leopard after he had
just eaten his kill. We spent some time
there before our departure heading
towards Kilimanjaro airport, chatting to
Shirimi about his life and family in Africa
and our experience there.
All in all the whole experience was perfect
in every way, far outweighing our
expectations. We had been lucky enough
to have seen The Big 5, thanks to Shirimi,
and would highly recommend this trip to
anyone travelling in this region. We felt we
experienced the "real Africa" and will
cherish this memory forever.

Unforgettable Safari Tour! - Unforgettable Safari with Simon!
Our safari with Simon was just great! We could not have imagined a better driver and guide. He told us so much about the animals and the land and responded to all our wishes. Thanks to him we saw an incredible number of animals and enjoyed the tour to the fullest. A great experience – we are thrilled! A big thank you to Simon!

An indescribable experience with super service! - From start to finish everything was super well arranged! A summary:
- Quotation / first contact
I requested a trip through the website. Soon I received an app in English from this company. In a neat pdf the trip was described in which it was clearly indicated what was and was not included in the price. Please note that this company organises private trips, so you will only be in a car with the people you book this trip with. If you go like me alone then it is quite expensive, if you go with several people then that will reduce the price per person. With 2 people I think is perfect, also in terms of standing space in the car.
- Confirmation and payment
After clearly discussing what you want to book via whatsapp, and there was plenty of room for questions, you received a confirmation and payment link. Here you could pay by credit card. Contrary to what the company initially indicated, extra had to be paid for making the payment. I am not sure if it is cheaper to just transfer the money to them from your bank account, this may still be worth checking. Furthermore, the payment via the payment link was fine and I received a confirmation via email.
- Contact after payment
After the payment I was linked to a regular contact person, in my case Paul, and soon I received an app with the plane tickets in pdf. Furthermore, I could ask all the questions and comments I would like before, during and after the trip. This was very pleasant. I was also allowed to pass him on to the hotel and my family as a contact person, as I was going to make this trip on my own. I also got the number of the driver/guide during the safari and the number of the taxi driver on Zanzibar.
- De Game Drive/Safari
At Arusha Airport Mr.Arnold was waiting for me with a sign. There was a little opportunity to visit the toilet and then we went to the first park in the Toyota Landcruiser: Tarangire National Park. A beautiful park where we have seen many animals. What is very convenient is that the drivers have radio contact with each other. Not only for emergencies, but also to warn each other if they see a certain animal or even a pack somewhere. Super handy! Furthermore, you just drive at the pace you want and you can just indicate when you see something beautiful that you would like to photograph. Furthermore, the driver himself obviously also pays close attention to whether he sees animals. Mr.Arnold asks nicely after each stop if you have finished taking your photos / videos and only then continues driving. On the 2nd day Ngorongoro Crater and the 3rd day Lake Manyara were planned. Three different parks with their own charms, definitely worth it! While driving, the driver talks about the parks and animals, which is also very interesting.
- The hotel
After a day full of beautiful impressions you will be taken to a hotel, in my case Eileen’s Trees. A great lodge with great service, rooms and food. All in buffet form, but that was otherwise good. Drinking is at your own expense, but hardly costs anything (cola for example 1 dollar for a big bottle and coffee / tea was even free). The only thing that disappointed me is that there was no housekeeping between the 1st and 2nd night, so also the towels and bottles of water are for 3 days. Furthermore, you had a top service here. Every morning after breakfast you could put together a packed lunch (for the first day the driver already has a packed lunch. Tip: ask if you can put it in the cooler)
Rounding
I was delivered to, in my case, Kilimanjaro airport on time and had another good trip back to Zanzibar. Both the outward and return journeys were also well arranged by taxi.
In short, this was a truly unforgettable experience which you have to experience yourself to really know what something like this is like! Hopefully the pictures give a small impression:)

Couple experience - Great trip. Many emotions and good times with our driver. It's still a lot of road, but it's well worth a visit. I highly recommend this company, it is serious and we were safe from start to finish. A big thank you

Fantastic Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire (from/to hotel in Nungwi) - Before going on Safari, we spent a few days on Zanzibar. Then we went on safari with Silver Sky - everything from the pick-up at the hotel at Nungwi beach to the return 3 days later just worked perfekt. We had planned everything in detail with Lordland from Silver Sky Travel some months ahead of our trip (the Safari was customized to our desires). All our expectations were met or exceeded, overall it was just an amazing experience. Thanks to Simon, our driver, we were able to see cheetahs hunting (what an experience), we saw all predators and so many animals of different kind (herds of buffalos, zebras, elefants you name it) - we were just impressed. Simon was also a super-friendly, cautious, attentive and experienced driver who told us a lot about what we were seeing (and he knew where he could cross the creek ;-)). The vehicle was in good shape and well maintained. We spent our nights in tented camps (which we enjoyed), safe, good food, very friendly staff typically welcomed us with the "Jambo, jambo bwana ..."-song (something we needed to get used to ;-)). I could go on and on and on ... our Safari was just, fantastic, we will come back!

Perfect 3 day safari. The deiver came on time to pick us up at Arusha airport, guided us through 3 national parks, 10/10 - Everything was perfect. Amazing scenery, lots of animals, kind and flexible guide, perfect accomodation in Ngorongoro conservation area.
