4 days and 3 nights campaing safari, one of the best experiences in my life!
We arranged a 4 days and 3 nights safari with James (dilunga), including Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He explained in advance all the details about the tour, like locations, meals, game driving schedules, etc. The experience later on was accurated to his previous explanations. in summary, we got what he promised we would get.
James helped also to make part of the payment using our credit cards without paying any fee. He kindly proposed us to pay the entries to the parks for the whole group, and pay the difference in cash. Thank you again!!
We decided to go for a budget safari, sleeping in tents, but the experience was unforgettable. We saw the Big 5 and I personally had the best experience in Ngorongoro Crater, amazing place! (try to be down in the crate as soon as possible when you visit it).
At the end of the trip, James came to the hotel and asked us about our feedback and suggestions about what could be improved.
SAfari is an amazing experience, and Big5 Voyage made it great for me!!
Asanté!

A well organized safari in an amazing country!
We booked our safari immediately upon arrival when we met James in the hostel. He promised us a great 5-day safari in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro for a fair price. Well, it has been amazing and lived up to all the expectations:
- A comfy 4x4 safari jeep with a helpful and funny guide (Lazero)
- Accomodation during the trip was good with great food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared by marquaia
-Plenty of time in wonderful national parks (serengeti, ngorongoro & taranguire)
Long story short, amazing safari and good value for money!
Regards,
Amedee & Branko

A wonderful and very well organized Safari experience
Got to Arusha without having any plan on what to do. Then luckily James found me (he is very well connected with Arusha's backpackers place).
My budget was low but we worked out a 3 nights / 4 days Safari (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater). After negotiating really hard (sorry James!) I got a price that was more than fair for what I have experienced in the parks. All people involved (James, the driver and the chef) communicated very clear and also all what was discussed has been met as per arrangement. Even after the Safari James helped me to book the right bus to Kigali. In conclusion this was a five star service! Thanks to big5voyage.

Incredible experience! Amazing guides and sensational food. 5* treatment!
When me and the boyfriend signed up for the 3 day safari our expectations were low, as we were on a budget but desperately wanted to go to the Serengeti. We were lucky to find Big Five Voyage but didn’t expect much for the price and signing up to budget camping but, man we’re we wrong! Our expectations were completely blown away by the 5* treatment and quality of the tour. Steve our ranger was so friendly, he went above and beyond on our game drives. Matthew the cook made the most incredible dishes, in fact the food he cooked was the best food me and my boyfriend experienced in our whole 2 week trip around Tanzania!. I honestly can’t recommend enough. Don’t be scared of the camping and budgeting it up with these guys because they honestly make it the best experience and you won’t regret it. If I had more money and could do it all again, I’d still go with these guys and wouldn’t change a thing!. Thank you Big Five Voyage, Steve and Matt for the most unforgettable experience!

Everything perfect!
We were stressed out to book our low budget safari after reading a lot of scams occuring on different company riviews, but our 3 nights 4 days safari booked with James Dilunga of Big 5 voyage was amasing! We find him with Arusha backpackers hostel. He explained really well the tour, the fees and the schedul, he answered well all of our numerous questions and everything was has he said. Not everybody in the truck had book with him, but our driver\guide Reggie and our chef Mr. D were great with everyone. They were professional and took really good care of us. Food was so good and guys were so nice. We saw the big 5 and so many animals, it was really an unforgetting adventure! Assante sana!
It was a well organized experience
The communication was very clear, everything was arranged, there was no stress for us to enjoy the experience. We could just sit back and enjoy the amazing experience of the safari

Great experience. I'd rate it with 4.5 at least.
I booked with James on the same morning of departure, and everything we got in the safari was as he had previously explained to me. In the jeep we were 6 (plus driver and cook), and only some of us had booked thru Big Five Voyage, other travelers booked thru other companies and in the end we all got the same trip.
Both the cook and the driver/guide were very nice and professional, they deserved the tips (and probably a better salary!)
The first and only issue was a flat tire just an hour after departure, but it was quickly fixed in minutes.
To me, the only negative aspect would be the picnic lunches... Didn't enjoy them. The rest of the meals were good; I am a vegetarian and the cook always made sure that the veggie/rice/pasta portions were bigger, coz, you know what? In the end the vegetarian plates emptied faster than the meat dishes!
The overall experience was great. It is expensive for most travelers, especially budget/backpackers, but this exclusivity keeps those wonderful spaces wild, quiet and untouched. Enjoy the bargaining, too... Try to get a good price!
