Credible, cost-effective, efficient 4-day Masai-Nakuru UPGRADE Landcruiser transport and Luxe accon
Dennis is the man who does the organization really well! We took a 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru private tour on a Landcruiser car and stayed in Lake Nakuru Lodge and Mara Sopa Lodge. We saw all the Big Five (and lots more) and had some exposure to a Masai community. From the initial touchbase communications, through deciding on the package, through tweaking of arrangements, payment options, and even decisions on upgrades, Dennis is there all the way through! We also had an awesome experience with driver, John, who has been very flexible and shared with us knowledge of the parks (he has done this for almost 20 years). Thanks again, Dennis for the flawless organization, competitive pricing, efficient communications, and the superb service by John our driver!

7 DAYS SAFARI: Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Lake Naivasha - Amboselli
I wanted to thank Big Time Safari and especially to Agnes for everything they’ve done for arranging my Safari :)
It was such an unique and unforgettable experience. Everything has, honestly, exceeded my expectations.
Lodges in Massai Mara and Naivasha-Kongoni have been my favorites!!!
Lake Nakuru could be better, I guess there were a lot of guests, and it’s quite ruin down.. but location is amazing ! and AA Amboseli was very good, as well (very friendly and helpful staff)
I also want to particularly thank Felix, my guide. He has done an amazing job and he took a very special care of me and the group. He has made my experience even more enjoyable.
I have heard many stories and bad experiences from other people who booked with other companies, and I must say that I am very happy that my experience has been such a success! :)
Thanks once again!!
Wish you all the best!
Hope to get in touch again for future travels
Warm Regards

A wonderful once in a lifetime experience thanks to Big Time Safari
We booked a three days budget in Masai Mara via Big Time Safari, and from the beginning we have been well taken in charge by the team.
Concerning the services, the driver took us at our house and took to us to Masai Mara, he was very niceand compliant. The food served -typical kenyan meals- was excellent and illimited. The accomodation was peaceful and comfortable.
The safari itself was amazing!
They took charge of everything (even water bottle) and offered us ourbest experience so far, we totally recommend them!

Excellent service, great accommodation.
Everything was great about this experience, communication leading up to the tour was good, any queries I had were answered quickly. As soon as we were picked up at the airport we were wanting for nothing, our guide Bakkies was friendly, funny and informative.
The safari was great, we had quite a few morning and evening safaris and they lived up to our expectations. The accomodation and food in each of the places we stayed at was exceptional, as was the service.
Thanks Go Touchdown Travel for helping us achieve one of our dream holidays.

Small is beautiful.. and it comes with great value for money!
I was driven to book my 17-day vacation in Kenya with Best Memory Safaris by the good reviews I had read online, and I was not disappointed.
Isaac, GM of Best Memory, contacted us personally from day one helping us to organize our safari and a few leisure days in Diani beach before coming back to the European Union.
Getting in touch with him to plan, arrange, make changes, get suggestions or ask any kind of question was as easy as to write a message on Whatsapp. This is a fact that you will appreciate in case the unexpected happens or in case you need to rearrange a service while already in Kenya. Indeed, a small agency allows for customized service and personal touch and communications. Isaac will be following and monitoring your safari (interacting with your driver) from remote everyday, calling your driver every evening or as often as needed just to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Isaac came to welcome us in Nairobi and also came to say goodbye to Diani, where we had the chance exchange few impressions and where we also gave him a few hints to further improve his program and services.
If I can give you readers and advice, please try to book a 4WD car (van or Jeep – we had a van and it worked out perfectly).
Also be aware of distances in Kenya: roads are not always as good as in the Western world and it takes much longer than expected to go from one place to another. Most parks are located in remote areas where dust roads and big potholes are the norm. But the animals will be waiting for you upon arrival.

Wonderful trip ！
It’s a nice trip. This is my first time to travel in Kenya. I choose big time safari and Martha was always enthusiastic to help me. Including the picking between airport to hotel, seven days national park safari. Our guild, Maxwells, is also a very nice man. He was responsible for our safe, searching for wild animals. Many thanks for this trip.

A dream vacation!
The communication from the time of booking until we returned was great. The accommodations, transportation and tour guide was outstanding! We had a fantastic time everyday and Humala was the best! The staff, food, luxury tents and safari drives was an experience we will never forget. The best part of this tour is that is limited to six people which makes it more personal. We had 4 other people that are now friends because we created great memories like having drinks at sundown watching Rhinos! The only negative thing to say is the at the Lion park and Pilanesberg we were not in groups of 6 but in buses with 20 plus other people and lost that personal touch we had the rest of the tour. It was crowded and it catered to people in front of the bus next to the driver, not everyone. We also wished we had more time in Pilanesberg, wished we got there earlier and stayed after lunch not just half a day. Other than those two things the vacation was a dream come true! The food was great and the wine even better (alcohol is not included but very affordable, something like 2 bucks a glass, same for beer bottles). We have so many great pictures of animals and the beautiful scenery of Africa. Thank you Touch Down for a great time! Improvement in Lion park and Pilanesberg vehicles to a group of 6 will make this a five star rating. I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5!

We could tell so much about everything we have experienced and enjoyed and how wonderful everything was. But... we say: perfect in every way. We do not know, how something could have been better.
We can not thank enough Nicolette, who was so helpful and kind in advance and made all reservations and listened our changes and wishes and made every of them possible! Such a perfect personalised service, and how in earth she can be so fast!
And Marc, our guide. Ten points in expertise about nature, animals, history etc. Ten points in making our holiday so easy and relaxing. Ten points in taking care of us and our needs. Ten points in exceeding our hopes and dreams. Ten points in beeing just a wonderful person and part of our holiday, not just a guide. And ten points in listening to finnish sense of humour...
Nicolette and Marc really made our dream come true, and even more. Now we are not dreaming of a white christmas, but we are dreaming of a new trip/holiday with help of Nicolette, Marc and Nature Travel Namibia.
