I couldn't imagine booking with anyone else - above and beyond expectations in every way
Our Safari was very difficult to plan, we were booking with a terminally ill member of our group which meant we needed to be as flexible as possible - we wanted to book hotels and flights ourselves with cancellation to ensure that in the worse case scenario (all of us not being able to go) we could recoup as much money as possible or move dates etc.
This approach was met with an immediate no from most of the tour providers that we contacted, but not Big Time Adventures. Nelson & the team ended up being pretty much the only people that would entertain this and were as helpful as possible the entire time. Our decision to go with Big Time pretty much came down to this however that was just the start.
Our bags ended up getting left in Nairobi by the airline and the team at Big Time Adventures were there at the airport to assist, calling the airports and arranging two separate drives to collect our luggage from Kilimanjaro and bring it to us near the Serengeti when our bags eventually arrived. In the meantime they also provided us with some shirts and our driver took us to a supermarket to grab some basics. They were there at any point and constantly checked in to make sure we were ok and offer updates. The service was unbelievable.
The safari itself was incredible. 9 days from Tarangire to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, and all the way over to the western Serengeti. our driver Naaman managed to find all the big 5 (and just about every animal out there I think) and is also just a fantastic person. He started out the holiday as our guide but finished as a friend.
Big Time Adventures arranged all of our extra activities (Hot Air Balloons, Canoeing etc) and even booked our end of safari trip to Zanzibar (that we were planning on just trying to sort ourself). They were a huge help and made us feel like nothing was too much to ask.
On top of all of this, they even flew out to meet us in Zanzibar on our last day just to check everything went well and to say goodbye.
There is a real family vibe with the company and they can't do enough to help. It's incredibly rare to find a company that does everything right, I hope they continue to grow and grow but keep this incredible customer service. If anyone reading this is worried about booking with Big Time Adventures - don't be!

The most amazing experience from start to end
We recently returned from a four-day safari with Lobo Africa, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.
From our very first contact with the company until the moment our safari ended, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy what turned out to be one of the greatest experiences of our lives.
Our guide, Chris, was the heart and soul of the trip. He didn’t just do his job—he went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the wildlife, incredible ability to spot animals, and passion for nature were truly impressive. But what made him exceptional was how much he genuinely cared about making our dream safari come true.
Our itinerary included one day in Tarangire, two unforgettable days in Serengeti, and we finished with the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks to Chris, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals and unforgettable moments. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and Chris always seemed to know exactly where to be at the right time.
This safari exceeded every expectation we had. It wasn’t just about seeing incredible wildlife—it was about feeling welcomed, safe, and taken care of throughout the entire journey.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate to book with Lobo Africa. And if you’re lucky enough to have Chris as your guide, you’re in for an experience you’ll never forget.
Thank you, Lobo Africa, and especially Chris, for giving us memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.

Excellent and attentive service
From the very first contact I made with Kojuu they were responsive and accomodating. They paired me with a guide specifically chosen with me in mind and the trip exceed expectation in every way.
Kojuu provide a luxury experience, such as ulimited drinks and snacks while on safari, and tented campsites with butlers for each room, for a very reasonable price.
On the safari itself I was thrilled with seeing every animal I had wanted to and having many up-close encounters throughout my 5 days. I could not recommend Kojuu enough.

An Unforgettable Safari with the Best Guide We Could Have Asked For
Our safari with Balu Travel was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent.
The biggest reason our safari was so special was our amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and determined to give us the best possible experience. He worked tirelessly to find wildlife and made sure we had the best viewing opportunities. Thanks to his dedication, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, and many other incredible animals.
The lodges, vehicle, and overall service were excellent, and we always felt safe and well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.
We highly recommend Balu Travel to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

He was the best driver out there, we were the first to everything and got all of the big 5!
Our guide/driver Johny Jackson was the best, we got to see all of the big 5 right away and were first to see all of the exciting events! He knew all of the places to take us and had such a great knowledge of everything we saw. I definitely recommend booking with Johnny if you will be doing a safari with JungleRoam.
