The safari was fantastic- we got to see everything we dreamed of and our guide was great.
The office staff were helpful with answering g questions prior to the trip. We were pleased to be picked up from the airport, even though our safari didn't start until the next day. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Be prepared for bumpy roads and fast driving! The camp we stayed at was suitable. The beds were not the most comfortable but it was nice to have water and some electricity available. The food was good and all staff members were friendly. The safari was amazing! We were not disappointed. We got to see everything we hoped for and more.

Good timely and enjoyable trip
The guide in the safari tour to Masai Mara was knowledgeable about the place. Stay in Masai Mara camp could be improved as there was no electricity throughout the night. Reached back Nairobi safely and on time. Nice journey.

Good experience with low budget
The BigTime safaris is good company they could develop a very good program for you and follow up with you to make sure your are satisfied especially with the low budget I paid. The food however is not that good in Kenya camps but in Tanzania they provided private chef which cook for you whatever you like but you need to mention the food you like before you travel so that they prepare the materials.
The Tnazanian counterpart who should take care of us in Tanzania on behalf of BigTime Safaris were not a honest guy and tried to decive us of bus tickets by doubling the price but when we contacted the bus company they confirmed that the price is half of what we paid him so after confronting him he admitted and returned the money ($90) and refused to drop us to the bus station which was 15min walking ( difficult with luggage) and it was very early morning no taxis

It was good and awesome, they make us sure were safe and comfortable. They treat as us well.
Well, the communication is quite good, we understand each other and the service rendered is very good. We had so much fun during the game drive, even though i didnt saw the big five atleast i saw four of them. I can recommend big time saari tour to one of my friends. My overall experience, it was good and great.

Good Value for Money
We visited Masai Mara for this trip (3 days) last July 6-9, 2016. We are happy overall for the services provided from airport pick-up up till the end of the trip. Though at early July the animals are difficult to track we did enjoyed our first African Tour. This trip was a great introduction to Africa. Special thanks to Martha.

Very good experience and was easy to deal with
The tour was my first safari in Africa. It was an amazing experience and exciting time very well enjoyed. The initial communications and arrangements were very good. Picking and dropping were on time and punctually done by drivers. The accommodation was marvelous and so food. All was excellent and I would like to thank the whole team and especially Martha. Hope to join you again for another safari trip.

Good accommodations, good wildlife, good people.
I went on a three day Maasai Mara safari. For the price, I thought it was a great experience. About $330 dollars for transportation, accommodation, meals, and the guide. A few minor problems here and there with the vehicle and getting nickel-and-dimed for water. You stay in these cute little tents with private bathrooms, community meals in the morning and evening with a packed lunch on Saturday. I went alone and happened to get a pretty good group in my vehicle. Make sure you ask for extra time on Friday and Sunday in the park. If your group is willing, you can get up early and get a few extra hours. We had one passenger who was complaining, but honestly, a lot of people spent more than $300 per DAY for safari in this area. Definitely a steal for students, budget travelers, or anyone who doesn't need a luxury lodge.

frist time on safari: it was fantastic
We saw all the big 5. The tour was perfectly organized. Our guide richard was awesome and the food was good. Only thing to complain: there was no hot shower even if they told us there is one.

Lots of animals and incredibles places with excellent guides
The parks are amazing: we could enjoy them and the animal sightings in a comfortable car. Our guides were impeccable; they were always ready to answer our questions, explain us about the animals or the parks in a good mood. Food and meals were delicious and the acommodations comfortable. If there were some problem it was always good resolved with good mood. It was a very incredible experience, we saw all kinds of animals and I will absolutly recommend Big Time Safaris.

A fantastic family vacations due to a very well planed journey with good sites and excelent guides
We had a very good previous experience during the planning of the safari. We were able to modify the trip and select the places and duration according to our request. Most of the success of the journey is because of the flexibility shown by BTS in preparation. Once there, both guides (in Kenya and Tanzania) showed a high acknowledge of the sites and were dedicated and warm.
Definetely, an awesome experience
