Lifetime experience
The Big Time Safari company made our holidays in Kenya unforgottable. We choosed them for five day safari (Massai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli) and we did not regret it. The organization of the tour was highly professional. we enjoyed every moment. We had a great driver and guide with 11 years experience, he explained us everything, showed us nearly every single animal in park and answered our additional questions. He made everything for our comfort, stoped for additional pictures
The food was really delicious, even if we were a bit sceptic at the beginning. The staff was really nice in the camps, they helped us all the time we needed.
The tents in the camp and also the hotel in Nakuru was fine, the camp in Amboseli was the greatest experience as it was situated in the pure nature far from civilization.
I would like to thanks to the whole team to make our holidays as perfect as you could. I will highly recommend to choose you as a safari operator :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dishonest, bad hotels and unprofessional
The 13 day safari we booked with Big time safaris was massively over priced for what we received. The hotels were poor quality compared to other similar priced tour operators. They advertise as covering Tanzania yet set us up with a completely different dishonest company that did not fulfil the trip we had paid for, cheated us out of our lodge that we had paid for and lied to us the whole time both about animal facts and our trip. Do not use this company under any circumstances.
