Great safari experience that I can truly recommend
I did a 5-day budget safari, a day trip to Arusha national park and a Arusha city tour with these guys. I got to see the big 5 and lots and lots of other animals in their natural habitat, which is something I will always remember. Organizing everything was super easy by Whatsapp and everything went pretty much as agreed. The driver/guide on the 5-day safari was professional (Thank you Ayub!) and the food was super good (Thank you Samuel!). The staff was helpful and I felt good and safe the whole time. Arusha NP day trip with guide Steve was a great experience too, as well as getting to know Arusha city by foot with guide John. Thank you guys!

Amazing Safari with Big5 voyage
The Safari details were agreed before our arrival via e-mail and whatsup. Amon came to us to the hotel the day before and we paid the safari at his office.
The next morning he came on the agreed time and we left to Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Our driver, Steve was amazing he had a lot of knowledge about the animals. He wanted to give us the best experience and he did!
The chef, James, provided us excellent food and shared a lot of insights about Tanzania’s culture.
The company and the guys made our Safari trip unbelievable!
Thank you for them!

Safari with very nice and warm Tour guides
The Safari with Big 5 is a very good organized trip for people who do not want to organize much on their own. You get the full service of transfer to Arusha, hotel transfer and are taken for Safari. Even if you want to see something of Arusha in the evening, eat local food or go to local parties, the tour guides care for you so much and always make you feel welcome. I was very happy with organizing with Big 5.
The safari is great and I saw your wonderful Tanzanian nature, so I really got addicted to it. I totally recommend the booking with that company!

Simply Class! These guys know 1st Class service
It was my 1st safari and genuinely had no idea what to expect when we booked one of the cheaper alternatives which claimed to provide ‘budget’ service. We honestly would have paid double the amount it was that impressive from start to finish. Right from picking us up from our hostel to dropping us off at the next, these guys were simply awesome! Steve was a truly 1st class ranger and made our group so comfortable, making the experience so special! Matthew’s cooking was amazing, well thought out and incredibly fulfilling! Genuinely cant fault the service of these guys at all and if we’re ever back in Tanzania, we’re coming back!

Incredible experience! Amazing guides and sensational food. 5* treatment!
When me and the boyfriend signed up for the 3 day safari our expectations were low, as we were on a budget but desperately wanted to go to the Serengeti. We were lucky to find Big Five Voyage but didn’t expect much for the price and signing up to budget camping but, man we’re we wrong! Our expectations were completely blown away by the 5* treatment and quality of the tour. Steve our ranger was so friendly, he went above and beyond on our game drives. Matthew the cook made the most incredible dishes, in fact the food he cooked was the best food me and my boyfriend experienced in our whole 2 week trip around Tanzania!. I honestly can’t recommend enough. Don’t be scared of the camping and budgeting it up with these guys because they honestly make it the best experience and you won’t regret it. If I had more money and could do it all again, I’d still go with these guys and wouldn’t change a thing!. Thank you Big Five Voyage, Steve and Matt for the most unforgettable experience!

Big 5 Voyage is your best choice
I just finished a 3 day budget camping safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and I recommend 100%!
Amon replied all my e-mails with doubts and helped me a lot. Steve was a great and very experienced driver, he has skills to find the animals and to drive softly in a bumping road (I even was able to sleep during the car drives) and Matthew prepares lots of excellent food (I ate very well all days).
They are friendly and you can trust them. I am a solo female traveller and they put me in a group with more 3 people (around the same age), so it worked very well. They bring all the stuff in the car and lots of comfort for a Budget camping!
The views are stunning and there are quick stops for pictures and washroom.
I do not have a single complain for this trip.
Lots of success to Big 5!!

Everything perfect!
We were stressed out to book our low budget safari after reading a lot of scams occuring on different company riviews, but our 3 nights 4 days safari booked with James Dilunga of Big 5 voyage was amasing! We find him with Arusha backpackers hostel. He explained really well the tour, the fees and the schedul, he answered well all of our numerous questions and everything was has he said. Not everybody in the truck had book with him, but our driver\guide Reggie and our chef Mr. D were great with everyone. They were professional and took really good care of us. Food was so good and guys were so nice. We saw the big 5 and so many animals, it was really an unforgetting adventure! Assante sana!

A well organized safari in an amazing country!
We booked our safari immediately upon arrival when we met James in the hostel. He promised us a great 5-day safari in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro for a fair price. Well, it has been amazing and lived up to all the expectations:
- A comfy 4x4 safari jeep with a helpful and funny guide (Lazero)
- Accomodation during the trip was good with great food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared by marquaia
-Plenty of time in wonderful national parks (serengeti, ngorongoro & taranguire)
Long story short, amazing safari and good value for money!
Regards,
Amedee & Branko

A wonderful and very well organized Safari experience
Got to Arusha without having any plan on what to do. Then luckily James found me (he is very well connected with Arusha's backpackers place).
My budget was low but we worked out a 3 nights / 4 days Safari (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater). After negotiating really hard (sorry James!) I got a price that was more than fair for what I have experienced in the parks. All people involved (James, the driver and the chef) communicated very clear and also all what was discussed has been met as per arrangement. Even after the Safari James helped me to book the right bus to Kigali. In conclusion this was a five star service! Thanks to big5voyage.
It was a well organized experience
The communication was very clear, everything was arranged, there was no stress for us to enjoy the experience. We could just sit back and enjoy the amazing experience of the safari
