First safari trip turned into one of our favorite vacations!
I traveled as a group of 4 females to Kenya and heard about Big Time Holidays through coworkers. They spoke very highly of the exceptional service they received and we were not disappointed! Allan, Simon, and George met us at the airport and gave us a huge welcome upon our arrival. They greeted us again the next morning when we left for our safari. Our camp was beautiful! We stayed in 2 person tents that were warm, had hot running water, flush toilets, and mosquito nets. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner from an excellent chef while were at the camp, as well. George guided us on our safari for the next 3 days and we were impressed with his knowledge and explanations of everything we saw. George wanted us to see as much as we could in our relatively short time in the Masai Mara Reserve. We have never had such an awesome experience as getting so close to wildlife normally only seen in zoos or on television, as well as seeing animals that we didn't even know existed! This trip was definitely at the top of everyone's favorites list. We would not hesitate to recommend Big Time Holidays to anyone looking to visit Kenya. George and Allan were as friendly and helpful as people come and gave us a most pleasant experience!

The most comfortable, memorable, and enjoyable safari experience!
Big Time Holidays set the stage high with the experience that we had. Allan Milambo and his crew made sure our experience was unforgettable, comforting, and above all, real. George was amazing in his skills as a guide, as we shared many stories about the past, our own lives in general, and about the tour. The hospitality displayed by Allan, George, and overall Big Time Holidays was spectacular. Never for one moment did we feel concerned, manipulated, or taken advantage of. I would highly and without question recommend this company to provide you with the ultimate safari experience! Thanks Milambo and George .... never will we forget our experience!

Magical Safari by Big Time Holidays
My Family and I made arrangements with Big time holidays to visit Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru national park on 15th January 2014 to 19th January 2014. We were warmly welcomed and picked at the airport by George, who was also our guide during the safari.
Big Time Holidays was superb, provided advice as to right parks, hotels and restaurants. Allan, a travel consultant of this travel company was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and his suggestions were spot on point. He also negotiated great rates for the safaris. The flexibility and capabilities to make activity changes without problem as we went along our safari was such a bonus. We felt so warm and welcomed not only in the planning stages but also throughout our safari with the company.
The attention to finding a perfect safari by our travel consultant was fantastic! From the specific activities to the hotels, even down to the personality of the guide, we felt this trip was created especially for us. The guide, George was wonderful! He made the safari perfect, fun and easy... we felt that every detail was covered so we could relax and enjoy. We knew that if we were scheduled to be picked up, someone would be there. It allowed us to travel throughout the wonderful country of Kenya care free.
They also arranged a very special, memorable and fun birthday celebration for my son Iverson at the Maasai Mara. It was wonderful! It totally surprised him and the staff was so much fun. We had a magical and amazing safari. The company gave us truly a life changing experience.
Big time holidays did such a wonderful job with details and I will always travel with them and have already recommended 5 friends.

Professional, courteous and efficient customer service!
From my very first inquiry to my return flight home I was especially pleased with Big Time Holiday’s professional, courteous and efficient customer service. They were able to customize my vacation to my requirements and budget and were able to offer me some package options very quickly after my inquiry. The staff was professional, warm and welcoming. I felt very at ease when I left for my safari to Kenya. They were able to answer all of my questions and helped me through the process of preparing for my trip. Big Time Holiday helped to make my journey in Kenya an unforgettable one. It was a trip of a lifetime. I was extremely satisfied with the service they provided and have already recommended them to family and friends. Looking forward to booking with Big Time Holidays in the near future for another great safari experience :)

Great guide for fair price
We had pleasure to had safari organized with Big Time Holidays in October 2013.
I've expected adventure, good tour guide, friendly staff and good price. I've got all of this. Especially George as our guide did great.
I've been prepared for poor accommodation and services for this price, but we got something on really good level.
Safari in Kenia has been crafted for us, Alan also arranged other company in Tanzania that took as to parks there.
I'd like to recommend Allan's company as Safari operator.

It was amazing- we saw lion cubs, giraffes, zebras, baboons & leopards, in a short amount of time.
The communication and service was wonderful. We were able to get in contact easily and received replies quickly about any questions we had. Everyone at Big Time Holidays Ltd was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our guide was also very knowledgeable about all of the wild life we saw which made the experience even better. I definitely recommend going to Samburu with Big Time Holidays Ltd!

Trip of a Lifetime!!!
My son and I booked a Safari holiday with Big Time Holidays. It was the best experience of our lives! The company's tour manager, Alan, was very helpful in designing our safari to meet our personal needs and interests. He was always extremely prompt in replying to my emails and kept me well-informed of our itinerary as we tweaked it to meet our needs.
Our safari guide, George Odingo, proved to be outstanding. Besides being friendly and accommodating, he was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and flora that we saw. He made our safari an enjoyable as well as great educational experience .
I would not hesitate to recommend BigTime Holidays to anyone for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience in Kenya!

Enjoyed the stunning African safari of the life time.
It was a quick and a sudden decision for a safari tour. I checked with many sites, at last i found Big Time Holidays Ltd to match my needs.
They were quick responsive with reasonable rates.
We explored the Masai Mara game reserves with an expert local safari guide and sighted many wild species. Most amazing incident was tow male Cheetahs hunted a Wilder beast and feasting. We managed to fill our memory cards with the beauty of African landscapes & natural wildlife.
Big thanks to Big Time Holidays and we highly recommend you for best safari adventures.
