A SkySafari journey ticks many common New Year’s Resolutions

For many of us, each new year brings fresh hopes and intentions to make the next year better than the last. SkySafari can help guests tick off all their New Year’s resolutions with a spectacular private plane safari adventure.

It’s a clear front-runner for those who have a travel-related resolution of a bucket list safari to Kenya and/or Tanzania. The luxurious fly-in safari also inspires plenty of other resolutions including the ability to connect more with nature and spend time with animals. SkySafari delivers you directly into world-class wilderness with incredible wildlife watching in Kenya and Tanzania. Savour all the sights, smells, sounds and sensations of the African bush on your 8-day or 10-day adventure or go big with our 13-day Tanzania & Kenya itinerary. For those who wish to focus on wellness in the New Year, pampering and decadent spa treatments which use traditional massage techniques and incorporate local products are available at select Elewana properties including Loisaba Tented Camp in Kenya and The Manor at Ngorongoro in Tanzania on all SkySafari experiences. Or guests can add an indulgent post-safari beach escape to Kilindi on Zanzibar Island for ultimate relaxation.

For those with a palate-inspiring resolution, all the properties connected with SkySafari are proud to offer delicious local and sustainable dishes, utilising ingredients from kitchen gardens onsite and which often reflect the culinary heritage and traditions of the surrounding communities. Elewana’s Kenyan properties offer a Swahili inspired dish in the dinner menus for a traditional taste of Africa. Other foodie experiences include ‘under the stars’ dining venues which often incorporate live fire cooking and innovative new, sustainable dishes inspired by the growing list of products available in East Africa’s Garden of Eden.

Messages written in the Sky

As the year closes, we would like to thank all our guests for their kind support and positive feedback

We never take our five-star reviews on TripAdvisor for granted and are extremely grateful for the time that guests take to leave their valued feedback. We wanted to look back and highlight a few of our favourite quotes from 2023.

Family in September 2023

“Cannot imagine doing an African safari any other way. First the camps. They are spectacular, and each very unique. The food is outstanding, and the people are wonderful. Having worked in the hospitality industry, I am wildly impressed by the consistently warm and delightful culture that is infused in every camp.”

Couple in June 2023

“All the properties were all fantastic but offered a different amenities. All the staff we encountered were incredibly attentive and kind. All our meals were delicious, had great variety, and flexible to accommodate different tastes and intolerances.
I was afraid 8 days would be a long safari vacation, but I wish I had taken advantage of trip extensions and stayed longer. I look forward to more trips with sky safari.”

Mum and daughter in June 2023

“Our experience with SkySafari for our safari was more than we could have dreamed. It was truly a magical experience. The staff and guides were exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and attentive during our stay. Eve, John, Peter, and Ellie went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of spectacular. The hotels and lodging were phenomenal. We loved our stay at The Manor and appreciated the manager’s attention to detail and the immaculate grounds. We were blown away by the Tarangire Treetops and Serengeti Migration Camp. The safari guides were incredibly knowledgeable regarding animal behavior. The food during our stay was outstanding. I highly recommend SkySafari to anyone looking for a true 5-star unique safari experience!”

Festive Greetings from all of us at SkySafari

We would like to wish all our valued partners and guests a very Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. We have enjoyed hosting and getting to know our guests throughout 2023 and look forward to welcoming new SkySafari guests in 2024. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you onboard soon.
