Awesome trip with very nice crew!
Though our 4-day Safari trip was booked last minute the organization was really good. Nice accomodations and a very cool campside with wildlife at night. The driver was professional and made us feel safe all the time. He knows the best spots for watching Big Five animals and has knowledge about all Wildlife and Safari facilities. The landscape is so impressive and I really enjoyed my experience with Big 5 Voyage :-)
Successfully summit & 1day trip to hot spring
As I mentioned in the title, our trip with this company included a climb to Mount Kilimanjaro, and in the remaining days before our departure, Elly and Amoni treated us very kindly and helpfully. Elly acted as our local guide and showed us the entire city of Arusha, catering to all our wishes and requests. He also shielded us from local "businessmen," ensuring that we obtained souvenirs and food at the best prices. Additionally, he organized a full-day trip to the Hotsprings, where, I must say, the journey was a bit tedious and lengthy, partly due to the unpleasant weather. However, upon reaching the destination, things improved significantly, and we had a great day with Elly.
Regarding the trek up the mountain, I believe that for the price this company offers, it's one of the best in its field, and during these days, we lacked nothing. From the superb team of Adinan and Shaban, we always received excellent value for the money we paid. So, our personal experience with this company is positive. As the locals say, "Hakuna matata" with this company.

A great trip to Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Big Five organized for us a safari taking us to Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days) and Ngorongoro crater. This was linked to a successful Mount Kilimanjaro climb the previous week, organized by them as well. It was an amazing trip during which we got to see myriad of animals in all kind of situations, including the Big Five - most of them from a very close distance. We went also to the south of Serengeti where the Great Migration is during the dry season to see the endless plain filled with wildebeests. Each day was a really unique experience.
A big thanks goes to our guide Idrisa, who was very knowledgeable, with a great instinct where to take us for the best views and experience.

Best Budget Travel Option
My parents and I were in Arusha looking for a cheap 2-day safari option to Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater. We couldn't afford expensive packages, so a hostel connected us to James from Big Five Voyage. When we heard about the $300 pricetag each for a two day adventure we were excited, yes, but skeptical. Other trips of this sort could be well over double the price but we gave it a try. Are we glad we did! We booked the day before we left and our time with Big Five Voyage surpassed our expectations by a long shot. The communication was great throughout the process, and James even offered to refund our whole trip when a few hours after paying I called saying my dad was sick. What a good guy! He didn't have to offer the full refund but was very understanding. We're glad my dad recovered in time to go, of course. We enjoyed the safari vehicle, old but in good condition (we were expecting a clunky van), the plentiful home-cooked meals (we were expecting dry sandwiches but enjoyed feasts instead), and the good company. We were also expecting to be squished in a vehicle, but had a private one to ourselves on the first day since others cancelled. Bonus! The campsite was basic, but had nice showers with a good view. Plus, the tent even had a cot and a small mattress, when we were expecting a sleeping bag on the ground. There was a short acrobatic show after dinner where one guy balanced another guy on his head, no hands, which impressed us. Dinner conversation was fun because we met travelers from all over. The next day we saw lots and lots and lots of animals, and made good friends with the two others who joined our vehicle. The $300 really included everything, from water, food, and tent (minus the tip, of course). If you're a budget traveler, this travel company is for you.

Great safari experience that I can truly recommend
I did a 5-day budget safari, a day trip to Arusha national park and a Arusha city tour with these guys. I got to see the big 5 and lots and lots of other animals in their natural habitat, which is something I will always remember. Organizing everything was super easy by Whatsapp and everything went pretty much as agreed. The driver/guide on the 5-day safari was professional (Thank you Ayub!) and the food was super good (Thank you Samuel!). The staff was helpful and I felt good and safe the whole time. Arusha NP day trip with guide Steve was a great experience too, as well as getting to know Arusha city by foot with guide John. Thank you guys!

Amazing 4-day Safari
We booked our Safari very spontaneously and last minute but everything worked out as planed. In only 4 days we saw the best places to visit on a safari in Tanzania and it was just a great time. Very relaxed, without hurry and according to our wishes the guide drove us through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara NP. The chef cooked us delicious local food and even the vegetarians in our group got great meals 3 times a day. We had so much fun with our driver Dula and the rest of the crew that it became a unique experience while our travels in Tanzania. Last but not least was the price-earning ratio more than just very good. Thank you Big 5 Voyage for those remarkable trip!!!
