Experience of a Lifetime!!!!
I had a wonderful experience with Big Time Holidays. Milambo was always quick to email me back and answer all my questions. I joined a group 5 day Masaai Mara safari and it was the experience of a lifetime. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler from the U.S. and appreciated how well organized and fun the safari was. It was also amazing value for the money. The tented camp we stayed in was clean, the staff was great and the food was good. Our game drives were breathtaking and we got to see cheetah, elephants, lions, the great migration, hippos, hyena, buffalo, leopard and so much more. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to travel to Africa but is on the fence for safety or budget reasons. I had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much!

Wonderful Company
I've been on several safaris with different companies and I have to say Gamewatchers are the best. I only used them for the Nairobi tented camp and game drives in Nairobi National Park but the entire staff had a deeper knowledge of the history of Kenya, the characteristics and habits of the animals and conservation than anyone I've met. The staff was great and they go above and beyond to make sure that your trip to Africa is the most amazing experience ever. Will definitely use on my next trip to Africa. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Amazing Experience
I had to book this safari at the last minute when I had a change in travel plans. They accomodated me as a solo traveler which I really appreciated because without them I would have not gotten to see Amboseli Park. This safari had excellent communication, great organization, and good value for the money. I got amazing pictures of Mt. Kilamanjero with elephants under the mountain. I got to see thousands of flamingos, large herds of elephant, buffalo, hyena, ostrich and giraffe. My driver was very patient and let me watch the elephants as long as I wanted. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler from America. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!!!

Once in a Lifetime Experience
This safari company was awesome! I booked a 5 day Masaai Mara budget safari as a solo traveler joining a group safari. Milambo's communication was excellent. He would quickly respond to emails I had with questions and had the safari well coordinated . I felt very safe as a solo female traveler from America and the safari was fun and well organized. We stayed at a budget tented camp which was very clean with good food. I got to see cheetah, lions, leopard, elephants, buffalo, hippo, hyena, vulture, the great migration and so much more. I highly recommend this to anyone who has wanted to visit Africa but is on the fence about it for safety or budget concerns. Thanks again for the experience of a lifetime!!! I will visit Kenya again someday!

6 National Parks with Kileo Tours
We Safari and Trekking with Kileo Tours for 10 days in total. We start with a day of trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro, where only got to the first camp. Very good walk, the truth is perfect for exploring this mountain but without the need to make the 6 days of the complete circuit. You get to see the top and the scenery is very beautiful, good activity to do for a day.
After that we walked five national parks in Safari mode. We start by the Arusha National Park, which is very interesting because it is the only park we stayed in that had a lot of jungle, so we saw many types of monkeys, not found in other parks. After that we went two days at Tarangire National Park, a day at Lake Manyara National Park, 3 days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro after 1 day.
Highly recommended especially the last two parks (Serengeti and Ngorongoro), in addition to the Arusha National Park, as the Lake Manyara and Tarangire are almost the same animals.
We loved traveling with this company because it is operated by the owner and are really friendly, which is vital for Safari that lasts 10 days. We stayed 10 days with the same people and the truth is I really enjoyed it, we laughed and talked all. On top of that are very skilled at what they do, they know perfect behavior of animals and places in the park visit, as they are also very good in the mountains, being the companies that sometimes makes summit on Kilimanjaro.
The company did everything for us, since we picked up at the airport until the last day took us right where they were responsible for arranging accommodation and all safari. They were very cooperative when we asked if we could take some place to buy souvenirs or gifts to bring to our country.
I highly recommend visiting the parks we did, although I think you can do almost the same thing in fewer days, just to visit Arusha, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park, it has covered much of the animals.

Day Trip to Hell's Gate National Park and the Rift Valley
My wife and I did a day trip with AWS in December 2015. The tour and safari were both spectacular and the overall experience was excellent.
Joseph picked us up from the airport and made great time to the Rift Valley and Hell's Gate National Park. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. While enroute we stopped at various picturesque locations and during the safari he not only found a wide variety of animals but also educated us on the flora and fauna of the area. The trip included a walking trip through an ancient riverbed canyon led by a local Masai. It takes a full day and is totally worth it.
Before the trip, the booking process and getting clarifications with Mike were very simple affairs and we would book with this company again, in a heartbeat.
