Fantastic tour - Masaai mara
My family and i enjoyed every moment of this trip. The planning was perfect, met the best driver and tour guide
and we managed to see all the big five. Accommodation was well organized just like what we expected.

Exceeded expectations
Bigmac runs a professional and enjoyable safari. I went on the 3-day wildebeest migration safari in the Masai Mara. Anthony, our driver, went out of his way to give us the best photographic opportunities. We got close to a leopard, saw several cheetahs atop a photographer's van, and drove alongside herds of migrating zebras - and were often among the first companies to reach the scene. In addition to the usual lions, elephants and giraffes, the above shots really exceeded my expectations.
Given that I booked the budget option, the lodging was comfortable and the food decent. When one member of my group complained the first night about the bathroom, Bigmac rebooked us into a different camp for the second night. They were attentive to our needs. I highly recommend them to anyone going on a Masai Mara safari.

The best driver, the best guide, the best cook, and the best animals
The trip last for 7 days. We went to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Anthony's wife kindly picked us up and sent us to a place to change for Kenyan shilling. The safari van is comfortable, and it even has wifi! The food is delicious, healthy and enough. Our guide and driver Anthony was very professional and easy-going. He could name every animal we met during the trip, and he could find those rare ones. It's joyful to talk with him. The safari is wonderful. It's a memorable experience for me.

Great adventures in Kenya
When planning our visit to Kenya going on a safari was one thing we really wanted to do. After sending our several emails there was almost instant reply from Bicmac Africa Safaris. All our questions were answered, always quick and very friendly. After booking a safari for several days we also booked a few day tours and we were not disappointed at all.
We were picked up on time and had great drivers for all the parks, they all knew lots about the wildlife and gladly stopped over and over again for us to get our pictures of zebras, rhinos, or lions.
For the big tour at the end of our stay we were able to leave some of our luggage at the office, before leaving for Masai Mara and the biggest surprise, they even managed to have a cake for my friends birthday at the camp we were staying at.
We really enjoyed our tours and our stay in Kenya and would always come back again.

Outstanding Safaris for Serious Wildlife Photographers!
~ I've been on two exceptional safaris with Bigmac Africa Safaris — one in February, 2014 and the other in October, 2014. In both cases the guide/driver, Mr. Anthony Gitau, exceeded all expectations, in terms of getting me near to rare bird, animal and plant species in order to take high quality photographs. As Anthony himself is a gifted photographer, he understands the special requirements of birders, big cat specialists and those who love wildflowers and foliage. In Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria, Lake Navaisha, Samburu and Meru, Anthony was highly familiar with the terrain and with the habits of the species there. Bigmac Africa Safaris and Anthony arranged world-class safari programs which emphasized long game drives to observe and photograph rare species in optimal settings. In every respect, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bigmac Africa Safaris to all who have dreamed of visiting East Africa with fine camera gear to take the photos of a lifetime. Anthony Gitau will make your dreams come true, as he's done for me. Contact him...you won't regret it!

An epical journey
My adorable twin gals wanted a great Christmas treat, the time was fast flying and their mother could not be given an off day, it is not in the nature of her work. We only had three days left to Christmas and at the same time we had do the booking before all the available spaces at the great Samburu Sopa were taken. We trusted in Bigmac Africa Safaris, they did not let us down. Everything was meticulously arranged, the roadtrip, the scenic view of the countryside on our way to samburu, taking selfies with my daughter at the Equator was a great experience to my gals, the sight of Mt Kenya was great. At the park, was the great experience, the birds, the lion, the giraffe, the leopard with its catch atop a tree...wow
This year BMAS will be flying us to the Seychelles, we are not changing our tour provider any time soon after all that great experience!

Great Time in Amboseli!
We had a great time using Bigmac for our Amboseli safari! Anthony was an amazing, knowledgeable tour guide that showed us so many great animals and went out of his way to help us set up some great photos! He even got us up close to some lions, which are very rare in Amboseli. Communication with Bigmac was also great while we were planning. Every email was answered very quickly and payment could not have been smoother. The itinerary was also very detailed. The only reason this wasn't five stars is because the lodgings they use at AAA were a tad rustic and the service there, while friendly, left a little to be desired. The other small issue was that in transit to and from Amboseli, when we stopped for a restroom break, it was always at some roadside gift shop with very pushy sales people. Other than that, things were pretty perfect! Bigmac did a great job with nearly every aspect of our trip and really was the high point of our Kenya vacation.
