Great Budget Safari
Everything was great, safe, and affordable (for budget safari). The guide was very helpful, Martha is too patient and answered all the questions and the concerns. The people tried to do their best to make my trip to Kenya a great one. I can say, I spent less money in Kenya than what I will spend in my country for the same period of time. Masai Mara was awesome, Hell's gate was too nice, I was very happy and the other tourist from all over the world had the same feeling.
All you have to take care about is the hotels, sometimes they try to deceive me to take more money (for ex. fees on Wi Fi !!!) but this happens anywhere in the world that's why it is ok for me.
If I come back, I will choose big time safari. I will recommend it to my friends too.
Thanks.

value for money
My contact David is very helpful. I had taken the three day trip to masai mara. It was a wonderful experience and a must do for all wildlife enthusiasts. Had also visited the giraffe center and crocodile park in nairobi. Had recommended big time to many friends and everyone was all praises. Hoping to have more experiences.

Well organized, beautiful experience and they do what they promise!!!
We had a great time. Communication by mail and almost immediate response. Everything was possible, we made changes, and changes again.... And at the end, everything was 100% organized.
Correct driver, and the cook made nice meals. Accomodation as promised. The safari itself was superb, we saw the Big Five within 3 hours. Really enjoyed the tour with Big Time Safari.
Martha and John, and everybody else who made this such a great experience: THANKS!!!!

10-day Safari in Kenya & Tanzania - Fantastic Experience!
We recently went on a 10-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Big Time Safaris Ltd. The process from start to finish was fantastic. In the early planning process they helped us cater the tour to cover exactly where we wanted to go and package it to our budget and time constraint. The staff (especially Martha) was quick to respond to us and helpful in all communication. When we arrived, they were so friendly and made sure we were very comfortable throughout our stay. Our tour guide Wanjau was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and really made our trip a once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for the best safari company.

A unique experience made possible by Big Time Safaris team
I selected Big Times Safaris company to organise a 15 day family trip to Kenya based on research and reviews over the internet. The whole experience turned out to be exceptional by all standards thanks to the professional service provided by BTS team members. My wife and 3 teenage daughters enjoyed very much the Safari part in the Massai Mara, Nikuru lake and Ambosselli parks. We saw plenty of animals: gnus, buffalos, several species of gazelles, zebras, lions, hyenas, guepards, elephants, birds etc... We were very lucky to have witnessed a massive river crossing by the gnus.
The camps and mini bus we used during the travel were very clean and the driver/guide was not only a safe driver but also very knowledgeable and courteous guide.
We also spent few days in Mombassa area which gave us the opportunity to rest and enjoy the Indian ocean and a large variety of delicious food at the Reef beach hotel. We also discovered how beautiful the corals around the Wassini island were.
Overall the whole experience was very good and we will recommend it strongly to our friends.

I recommend Martha Mutanu
I am south korea born, American educated student who travelled in Kenya and Tanzania a few years back. Martha Mutanu was amazing in every aspects of my experience with her. She did everything awesome! She is super kind, very informative, friendly, loving, and always smiling. I just loved having her as my guide for Safaris. Anyone who is booking a tour, I highly recommend her.

one of our best ever holidays
We went on a 7 day safari with our daughter and had one of our best holidays ever. Obviously nervous at first, as we didn't book via a tour operator, but Big Time Safaris met us at the airport as arranged, and everything went very smoothly. We have reviewed the holiday on Trip Adviser, if you want more details. Big Time Safaris are a ligit company and do all that they say they will. The best recommendation we can give is that we are booking to go with them again next year.

Definitely a trip of a lifetime
I visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire in 5 days/4 nights with Big Time Safaris and I saw everything I always wanted to see. My friend and I travelled in April which is apparently “low season” Weather was wonderful, except few rain showers at night, and prices were much lower, I would recommend travelling during low season if you are on budget.
Our tour guide John was very helpful and friendly; he recommended a stop at Maasai village which is an unforgettable experience and a “must see” At first, we signed up for camping safari, because it was in our budget, but upon our arrival to Arusha, our travel agent asked if we wanted to spent few nights at the lodge for a reasonable fee and that turned out to be a great decision and opportunity. The lodges at Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were amazing and the food was incredible. The views are fascinating. I woke up every morning at the down to see the sun rise. If budget permits, I would recommend staying at least one night in one of the lodges. Our cook was good, our meals were well planned and they made sure that meals were prepared according to our specific diets.
Everyone at the agency was wonderful and very helpful. The tour agent in Arusha gave us good recommendations on where to dine and helped us with plane tickets from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar. The travel agent in the main office, Martha, stayed in touch with me throughout the trip and made sure that everything was ok. Martha went a mile further and even helped book a hotel in Zanzibar.
