Delightful, from their communication to their services before & after. Made it a million $ experienc
With only two and a half days remaining after our family trip to Kilimanjaro, we weren't expecting to experience one of the highlights of our time in Tanzania. Thanks to Big Mama Safari Adventures, that's exactly what happened.
From the moment they picked us up from our family home in Machame and hosted us overnight in Arusha, every detail was thoughtfully curated. The following morning, we boarded a short flight to Seronera and embarked on an unforgettable safari experience.
Our guide, Aziz, was exceptional. His knowledge of the Serengeti was nothing short of extraordinary, and his passion for the wilderness was evident in every moment. He went above and beyond, traversing the plains tirelessly to ensure our family experienced the very best of the Serengeti. Remarkably, we encountered four of the Big Five on our very first day, with only the elusive rhino escaping our sight.
Our evening at Tukaone Hembe Camp was equally memorable, with beautiful accommodations, warm hospitality, and the perfect setting to immerse ourselves in the magic of the Serengeti. The following day, our journey through the breathtaking Ngorongoro Highlands on our way back to Arusha was the perfect finale to an extraordinary adventure.
What truly sets Big Mama Safari Adventures apart is their genuine care and commitment to creating lifelong memories. Every detail felt personal, from the seamless logistics to the thoughtful gifts and goodie bags that delighted our children.
In a world where exceptional service is increasingly rare, Big Mama Safari Adventures delivered an experience that exceeded every expectation. They didn't simply organize a safari; they created cherished family memories that we will treasure forever.
To Tunu, Aziz, and the our very patient driver in Arusha, thank you for your warmth, professionalism, and hospitality. We recommend Big Mama Safari Adventures without hesitation and look forward to returning for another adventure in the near future.

Perfectly organised and good communication.
The communication beforehand was very good and clear. A few days in advance we were reached out to, for an extra confirmation. The trip we went on was amazing. The guide was professional. We stayed inside the park, but never felt unsafe. Would recommend.

Amazing Wildlife and Great Service
Our safari experience was absolutely spectacular! We visited three national parks and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five. In addition, we saw countless birds, monkeys, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, flamingos, warthogs, and many other animals. The landscapes were breathtaking and exceeded all our expectations.
The guides, Omari, Alex, and Habibu, were outstanding. They worked incredibly hard to make sure we had the best possible experience and shared their knowledge and passion throughout the trip.
Tunu, the manager who looked after us throughout the entire trip, was fantastic. She was always attentive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. We were picked up at the airport, received a detailed briefing before the safari, and after the tour they ensured we arrived safely at our hotel. The day before our departure, she even came to check on us personally to make sure everything had gone well during the safari.
The food was delicious, plentiful, and always satisfying. The only aspect that could be improved was the hotel room and its bathroom, which felt somewhat outdated and could benefit from better maintenance. However, we understood that this was a budget-friendly safari, so we were not expecting luxury accommodations.
Overall, we highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a beautiful safari with incredible wildlife, stunning scenery, and exceptional service. We saw all of the animals we had hoped to see and felt very well taken care of throughout the entire experience. It was truly an unforgettable trip, and we would definitely choose them again.
100% recommended!

Available and always ready to help
Big Mama Safari Adventures and their operators were extremely available, always ready to answer to messages and calls, no matter of what was the time or the day. The day before leaving for the safari, Mr. Juma even came to my hotel to explain me how the following days would look like and make sure I was properly equipped for the experience. Transport was always punctual and ready. The safari itself was just magnificent!
I recommend a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, and if you'll have Joel as a guide, he will make your day :)
If I'll do a safari again, I know who to rely on. Asante Sana!

We booked a tour to Mikumi with Big Mama Safari Adventures. The tour operator responded immediately, despite the fact it was beyond the working hours, which is highly appreciated. The tour itself was very well organized. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend to choose Big Mama Safari Adventures.

Reliable, well-organized safari operator with great guides and always available for questions.
Fantastic safari with Big Mama! Everything was well organized and relaxed, and Big Mama was always available for questions before and during the trip. We visited Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara all very different and beautiful. Thanks to the knowledgeable and friendly guides we saw loads of wildlife, including lions, elephants and rhino. Highly recommended!

Very responsive operator, affordable prices, and very friendly guides.
The Tarangire safari and the Ngorongoro Crater are two must-see destinations for a complete change of scenery. Our two guides were very friendly and always available to provide further explanations. A bonus was that one of the guides spoke French.
Thank you to the entire Big Mama team for being so attentive to our needs.

Punctual, they took really good care of us!
The tour was very good! From the communication via whatsapp that was really good, they were very informative about everything. They picked us up on time, communicated well trough everything. The tour guide was very nice, the lunch was tasty and filling. We saw lions, elepthants, zebras, buffalos and monkeys up close!! Our car unfortunately broke down, which is understandable because od the rought terrain in the park, but they got us a new one and they offered us a free taxi ride whenever we wanted to conpensate for it, which was so lovely of them and it really helped us!! I reccommend this company :)
