We saw the big 5 and he drove great
We were with Solomon (Spanish guide) and Patrick (English guide and driver). Thanks to their experience we were able to see the Big 5 in Africa, as they had contacts with all of them and they notified us by radio. They helped us at all times, they informed us if the prices were abusive in certain shops and local vendors. In short, great.

The safari provider with the best price-performance ratio
First of all, a big compliment to our tour guide Richard. He drove us through the six days with his calm and confident manner and was able to show us all the animals (including lions, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos). The hotels: Mara Chui Lodge in the Masai Mara was good, the Lake Nakuru hotel was excellent and the Tremisana Lodge hotel in Amboseli was very good. I can only recommend the Big Time Safari, especially as their prices are very reasonable. Well done! Thank you for the great holiday!

Wonderful experience!!
I recently visited Kenya and had an incredible experience with Bigtime Safari Company. Throughout my trip, I had the pleasure of having Derrick Abongo Akoko as my driver and guide. Derrick's exceptional skills and deep knowledge of the area made my safari and visits to various popular sites truly unforgettable.
Derrick was not only incredibly helpful but also very friendly and professional. He went above and beyond to ensure that I had a great experience, providing insights into the wildlife and culture of Kenya that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. His driving skills were top-notch, making me feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey.
If you're planning a trip to Kenya, I highly recommend requesting Derrick as your driver and guide. His dedication and expertise will undoubtedly enhance your travel experience.
Thank you, Derrick, and Bigtime Safari Company, for an amazing adventure!

A nice experience
I book this Safari remotely, after a bit of research I decided to take the safari with Big Time Safaris and I regret it not even a bit. I booked the 6-day medium-range package and it was great value for money, nice lodges and nice food. Big Time Safaris' staff is nice and friendly, we also had a great van driver. All in all good as a very pleasant experience which I may repeat soon!

Incredible experience with amazing team. It was PERFECT.
All the drivers were so commited to reach the goal-to fing the big 5. Drivers gave us plenty of information about animals and Kenyan culture. They were available in every moment, and also going on safari with them was really funny. I highly recomend this trip and safari with these people, i will probably go again.

The best
It was excellent. Our guide was Stanley. This Safari was beyond expectations, we saw everythin, and we are grateful for his efforts, excellent observation and knowledge of the terrain. I must especially highlight his commitment to bring us literally a few meters from almost every animal we saw, and thanks for the large amount of information about each animal that he selflessly conveyed to us. This was an unforgettable experience.

Very good value for money and a very professional operator
We have booked an 11 day safari through Kenia and Tanzania. Beforehand Big Time Safaris got in touch with us and handled everything very professional.
For the Kenia part Simon was our tour guide, who did an incredible job! He took care of us from the very first minute and we felt very safe driving with him. He gave very good recommendations e.g. to be aware of sellers that are popping up everywhere you stop and to not feel pressured by them.
When it came to game driving Simon was absolutely outstanding! He was very well educated and could tell us all about the animals and their surrounding. He maintained very good communication with the other guides in the park, he knew where to look for animals, he knew when we wanted to take a picture and achieved a great perspective without the need to tell him.
Beware that travelling through so many parks involves a lot of driving on very bumpy roads, which can get really stressful and should not be underestimated. Some days involved 12h of driving on those roads which has to be endured once onboard.
However, when looking back we remember all the great memories we could collect with Simon! Thank you!

Professionals who care about your experience
Australian, solo male traveller, age 30.
Big time safaris are professionals through and through. They offer great service at a budget price.
For myself, I intended to complete 11 days safari but after 4 days I wanted to go hiking instead. Steve, David and Jimi arranged this for me with zero stress and zero worries through WhatsApp.
The safari time that I had was perfect. Patrick was my guide and he was knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. Don’t expect luxury accomodation or transport, it is a budget tour after all but with that said, the van is perfect for your safari needs and the tent accomodation meets your needs of saving costs (ask the organisers to upgrade you if you want something more comfortable, which they will gladly arrange).
Hiking mount kenya was an unreal experience and I am so grateful to the big time crew for organising it because it will remain my holiday highlight.
Thanks big time, I had a great time

Very professional
Jambo and thank you so much for the experience. It was an amazing opportunity to witness wildlife in its natural habitat and a chance to get to know wonderful, lovely people on the road. Our guide Patrick is a legend (a photo for him is attached), everybody seemed to know him and respect his tall figure. Even though we didn't have the fastest vehicle, he always managed to get us first in the action. What a guy!
We did a 5 nights safari, 2 in Maasai Mara, 1 in Lake Nakuru and 2 nights in Amboseli. We saw all big 5 and much more than that.
My family had an amazing time in Kenya and please accept my regards on an eye opening experience.
See you in the future, on one of your other African adventures
