Very well worth it. The tour guide and the cook were the best. Please ask for Sam and Kevin
I saw any animal and every animal possible. Sam picked me up and I give it to James the owner, he made sure that Sam was at the airport and Sam took me along for the trip. Sam was very informative and James explained the trip.
Sam made sure that he did everything to get me to the places that I needed to go. He was cordial, polite and helpful. He knew the feeding hours and we saw it all. Sam was amazing.
Kevin was a great cook. Loved the food. Loved the hospitality. Wonderful.
The coordination was a little rough. We were told that we would start on the 1st early and arrive back in the evening on the 3rd. However, we lost a half a day picking up another couple at the airport. We also had to have them back at the airport at 1430 so I lost nearly a half a day on the tour. Furthermore, it takes about 1.5 hours to get into each park. The paperwork should have been completed sooner to accommodate the trip.
I would definitely recommend the tour. The tour guide was a little rushed, but did all he could to ensure a phenomenal trip. If they work out those details it will be great.
Also, bring a flashlight and some sweats. The first site was 7 degrees Celsius and I nearly wasn't prepared.

Kilimanjaro + Safari
We arranged our trip to Tanzania with BMS for 6 days of Kilimanjaro (Machame) and 5 days of Safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Manyara national parks).
The price we had was overall reasonable in comparison to other companies and they generally took care of us well considering we were budget travellers.
Only problem we had was tipping after Kilimanjaro which is not related with company actually but only with porters, and do not believe what you read online otherwise you are expected to be paying 300 USD which is crazy.
BMS is a good company and we can recommend to anyone. (Especially ask for the guide named ''Elias'', an experienced, genuine guy makes your trips more enjoyable.

Great tented 3day safari
We went on a 3 day tented safari with BMS and it was just great. We saw the big 5 and other amazing animals. Food was good and our guide Livingston had an excellent knowledge about the wildlife. Only the drive was quite long but you need to make small sacrifices if you want to see this beautiful peace of nature.

Perfect 3day-Safari
We saw the Big 5, special thanks to our great guide Walter and our chef. Food and guidance of both was perfect. Walter did everything to see as much animals as possible. Chef prepared the food fresh and everyday something different.
Campsites were also cool and a great experience. Animals (zebra and hyenas) were next to the tent, great adventure.
Would definitely recommend going with BMS. Best opportunity for NPs you can't discover by your own. Value for money is good..

Good esperience for the price paid
The safari and really nice and all the support too.
The tent and the camping was ok, appropriated for the price I paid which was nice comparing to the other companies that Ive looked.
So in general, an honest price for the experience I had.
If you want a good safari for a low budget, for sure I would recommend!!!

Fantastic Safari, lots of unforgettable experience
BMS Safari is a very well organized company. They were very friendly, helpful and answered all the questions and wishes we had before. The driver of the Safari was great, he did his very best to show us the most impressive things and had an awesome sense where to see the best animals. Eventhough the nights in the tents were a bit adventurous (quite cold, animals at the tent, no proper bathrooms) the experiences at daytime compensated it. The price was compared to other Safaris very fair!! We can only recommend BMS Safari!!

Overall nice safari, but only average service
Communication was poor (e.g. it was not communicated that we were only supposed to bring medium backpacks with us, because the bigger once we traveled with would not fit in the jeep, it was difficult to receive Information from staff regarding lunch, dinner or travel time ….), the provider organized meals badly which sometimes resulted in 10 hours between meals or breakfast 7 Hours after standing up, also the tour guide did not share much Information about flora and fauna with us. Anyway, the Safari was an unforgettable experience. Based on what we have seen it was awesome!

It was a great experience with two very nice guides.
We had a very nice and organized Safari Tour with BMS safaris. Everything went according to schedule. Our tour guides (cook = Jafari + driver = Kennedy) were very nice and sweet. The food was very good. We saw a lot of animals which was great (and apparently is not always the case so we were quite lucky). Our driver was very patient and stopped when we wanted to take a look at something or went back when we asked him to. All in all a very great experience and I can highly recommend this tour operator and the two tour guides!
