Adventure in Tanzania
"Climbing" Kilimanjaro was on the Bucket list and in 2011 we decided we had to go. We attended a presentation of Paka Adventures and landed on using them as our operator. We wanted to relax, go on safari and of course our main goal - Uhuru Peak at the top of Kilimanjaro. We arranged flight tickets from Norway to Dar-Es-Salam by ourselves - arrival Sept. 2013. The rest was arranged by Pakas. What a trip we had. Relaxed at the Lighthouse Beach Resort, adventure at Selous Game Reserve and to top it all - all ten of us made it to the top of Kilimanjaro.
Surprise of the trip - all the good food we where served :-)

Professional, courteous and efficient customer service!
From my very first inquiry to my return flight home I was especially pleased with Big Time Holiday’s professional, courteous and efficient customer service. They were able to customize my vacation to my requirements and budget and were able to offer me some package options very quickly after my inquiry. The staff was professional, warm and welcoming. I felt very at ease when I left for my safari to Kenya. They were able to answer all of my questions and helped me through the process of preparing for my trip. Big Time Holiday helped to make my journey in Kenya an unforgettable one. It was a trip of a lifetime. I was extremely satisfied with the service they provided and have already recommended them to family and friends. Looking forward to booking with Big Time Holidays in the near future for another great safari experience :)
Our visit to Xai Xai in Mozambique was a very memorable experience
The tour was very professionally organised by Johan and Elize. The friendly atmosphere within our group made our holiday experience very special. If you are looking for an enjoyable getaway, we recommend Flight of The Eagle Safaris and Tours.

A marvellous experience!
We had an amazing time, and all the hotel and tour arrangements were perfect, everything we wanted and more - Alym and East Africa Wild got it absolutely right! The service and speed of communication were also excellent, and our requirements and budget were really followed to a T. The Serena properties were all lovely, with a lot of character, and delicious food, as was the Kitela Lodge in Ngorongoro. Of course, as promised, the Kirawira Camp really was the best of all of them. Ajabu Adventures was a really excellent safari tour company that we were matched with. We really lucked out and saw pretty much every animal barring a rhino. We only wish we'd had more time and could have stayed longer in Tanzania!

Magical Safari by Big Time Holidays
My Family and I made arrangements with Big time holidays to visit Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru national park on 15th January 2014 to 19th January 2014. We were warmly welcomed and picked at the airport by George, who was also our guide during the safari.
Big Time Holidays was superb, provided advice as to right parks, hotels and restaurants. Allan, a travel consultant of this travel company was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and his suggestions were spot on point. He also negotiated great rates for the safaris. The flexibility and capabilities to make activity changes without problem as we went along our safari was such a bonus. We felt so warm and welcomed not only in the planning stages but also throughout our safari with the company.
The attention to finding a perfect safari by our travel consultant was fantastic! From the specific activities to the hotels, even down to the personality of the guide, we felt this trip was created especially for us. The guide, George was wonderful! He made the safari perfect, fun and easy... we felt that every detail was covered so we could relax and enjoy. We knew that if we were scheduled to be picked up, someone would be there. It allowed us to travel throughout the wonderful country of Kenya care free.
They also arranged a very special, memorable and fun birthday celebration for my son Iverson at the Maasai Mara. It was wonderful! It totally surprised him and the staff was so much fun. We had a magical and amazing safari. The company gave us truly a life changing experience.
Big time holidays did such a wonderful job with details and I will always travel with them and have already recommended 5 friends.

The most comfortable, memorable, and enjoyable safari experience!
Big Time Holidays set the stage high with the experience that we had. Allan Milambo and his crew made sure our experience was unforgettable, comforting, and above all, real. George was amazing in his skills as a guide, as we shared many stories about the past, our own lives in general, and about the tour. The hospitality displayed by Allan, George, and overall Big Time Holidays was spectacular. Never for one moment did we feel concerned, manipulated, or taken advantage of. I would highly and without question recommend this company to provide you with the ultimate safari experience! Thanks Milambo and George .... never will we forget our experience!

First safari trip turned into one of our favorite vacations!
I traveled as a group of 4 females to Kenya and heard about Big Time Holidays through coworkers. They spoke very highly of the exceptional service they received and we were not disappointed! Allan, Simon, and George met us at the airport and gave us a huge welcome upon our arrival. They greeted us again the next morning when we left for our safari. Our camp was beautiful! We stayed in 2 person tents that were warm, had hot running water, flush toilets, and mosquito nets. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner from an excellent chef while were at the camp, as well. George guided us on our safari for the next 3 days and we were impressed with his knowledge and explanations of everything we saw. George wanted us to see as much as we could in our relatively short time in the Masai Mara Reserve. We have never had such an awesome experience as getting so close to wildlife normally only seen in zoos or on television, as well as seeing animals that we didn't even know existed! This trip was definitely at the top of everyone's favorites list. We would not hesitate to recommend Big Time Holidays to anyone looking to visit Kenya. George and Allan were as friendly and helpful as people come and gave us a most pleasant experience!

Great safari and Kilimanjaro Trek (Machame Route)
I just finished a 6 day climb via the Machame route on Kilimanjaro, and did a 2 day safari beforehand. Thomas from TransKibo organized the whole trip (airport transfers, accommodation, safari, and Kili trek), and did a great job! The guides were very knowledgeable and well equipped, and the food, equipment, etc. was great. I wanted to do this trip on a budget, and TransKibo was very helpful in tailoring the different components to my price range (i.e. accommodation, number of tents, mess tents, etc.). Thanks for the great adventure!

Excellent service with nice drivers
Everything is excellent with service and communications, all the people in that company are very nice. They always do all the stuff according to my time table. For the living, the camp is so good when we were in some park. Highly recommand to book with kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd.
