Wonderful experience!!!
I can say that big 5 voyage is a wondeRful operator tour, we had the opportunity to see all big 5 Africa animals, including the Leopard which is most of the difficult animal to see. The attention and food was very good. The experience during the night, sleeping in the middle of the jungle was unique.
Thanks Amon, thanks to all your team
We strongly recommend use this operator to everyone

Big Five stars for Big Five Voyage
My girlfriend and I did a 6 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara.
We were treated to a really personal service by Amon and Oscar prior to our trip and upon arrival were taken for lunch, looked after around Arusha and made to feel very welcome. Had a fantastic time on the safari with a dedicated driver who was able to find us countless big cats (alas we only saw 4 of the big 5 - in spite of our driver's concerted efforts the Rhino were in hiding!) and we had great food and service for the 6 days we we spent with them. Highlights included the Serengeti, the Panorama campsight and the village tour of Mto Wa Mbu, and Johnson our driver has to be commended for his care in helping to look after my car-sick girlfriend!
The Panorama campsite aside, the campsites were basic, but then again, we got what we paid for and we were right in the heart of the action (Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater campsites) - walking past Zebras on the way to the washrooms in the night stays in the memory!
The only small fly in the ointment was an uncomfortable visit to a Maasai village where we were made to feel like walking dollar bills. Although this was at our request I would suggest this is best avoided.
Amon's preferred style of communication was via whatsapp which was somewhat unusual at first but we found him to be highly trustworthy, helpful and personable - and we left the country feeling like we had made a new friend. I'm still in touch with him and would gladly go with him again if I come back (which I plan to, someday).
All in all, a small, but friendly, professional, trustworthy operation who provide great value for money - thanks 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!!!

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!

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.
