We were overwhelmed by the whole experience
While planning the safari, we appreciated the rapid and full answers to all our queries - and never having travelled in Africa before, we had many! Throughout the trip all our transfers were efficient. Our safari driver/guide, Dickson, and the cook/expert in all things, Paskal, were excellent. Pascal's skill in presenting varied, delicious and plentiful food with very limited equipment was admirable, and his cheerfulness, ingenuity and energy really added to our enjoyment. Dickson's patience with all my questions, his kindness when my husband's mother became very ill in Australia, and his tireless efforts keeping our vehicle functioning on such rough roads was extraordinary. Once a leaf spring broke, and our two heroes managed a temporary repair which enabled us to carry on, as well as providing us with unexpected entertainment.
We saw many, many more animals than we expected. Sometimes we were so close to the action e.g. mating lions, or vultures feeding on a buffalo carcass, that it felt like a tv documentary. The vast beauty of the Serengeti, the herds of elephant, wildebeest, zebra, and the various types of antelope, as well as all the friendly people we encountered made for a magical holiday.
Accommodation: The staff and accommodation at Christina's House in Arusha were very pleasant. On our return visit there were some problems with availability of water, but Helen and Christina could not have been more helpful. We liked the room at the back on the ground floor best, as it was quieter. Christina even took me shopping!
We slept very well in the tent - and the shower and variable toilet facilities of the public campsites really added to the adventure!
Hiliki House in Zanzibar was very comfortable and beautifully furnished - and the breakfast was wonderful. It would have been helpful to have known we needed shorts or similar and beach shoes for the trip to Prison Island, but that was a minor issue.
Nungwi was a bit of a disappointment after all our previous positive experiences in Tanzania. We had marvelled at the lack of rubbish in the landscape, but there was a lot of litter (and too many touts) there. I presume it was because of the number of tourists present. The accommodation at Amaan Bungalows was very pleasant, and the food reasonably priced.

Nothing but great service
I booked my Safari from new york because Big time had the best prices so who knew what to expect.
They recommended a great hotel for me in Nairobi, got my bus tickets to Mombassa at no extra charge.
Our Safri was wonderful and we had Ken as our guide and driver and we saw everything and more plus he stopped for snacks when my son was hungry. He was fantastic and had connections with other guides so
we got to see it all. Could not be more satisfied. Did Masa Mara and Lake Nakuru; the accommodations at
Masa mara are tents with bathrooms very basic and 4 star at Lake Nakuru. The price might be a bargain but the service is exceptional all around. Love Big Time thanks for making it affordable.

4 Day Luxury Kruger Safari
We enjoyed our Safari, it was well organised. We saw many different birds, aswell as the big five. My favorite was the baby lion cubs playing under the tree near the lioness. The accommodation was superb and i would recommend Amos Safaris to anyone as they were very fast with their response and the whole safari went as planned.

A lifetime experience - thank you ACZ Safaris, John, and Martin
I always wanted to write a review on my safari experience with ACZ but it took me long to do this because there are just so many things to cover and I want to make it right.
Long story short, we went on a 10 day safari trip in Kenya in August this year and we had a unbelievable experience at a reasonable price. We chose ACZ as our tour operator for the trip. During the 10 days, we cover almost all the famous safari spots in Kenya incl. Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, etc. Here are the things I would like to tell you:
1) choose ACZ Aafaris as your tour operator - John will take care of you.
Before I decide on the trip, John was always so responsive in responding to any of my questions and taking care of the trip details and polishing the itinerary for me. I immediately decided that John is the guy and I would like him to take care of my first time safari. It turned out to be a great experience.
2) choose Martin as your drive - Martin is the best. From a safari tourist perspective, having the right driver and guide is the most important of all. The places you go, the animals you see, etc. all depend on the driver and guide. From our own experience, Martin took great care of our needs. He always asked us what we would like to see everyday and tried his best to meet our needs. We wanted see Lions mating, he delivered that. We wanted see Cheetah hunting, he delivered that. We wanted see Wildebeast crossing river, he also delivered that. He was always vigilant and kept his radio on and his eyes sharp to look for prize. What's more, he is a wonderful driver and can so fearlessly drive off roads and take us closer to the game. We just loved that. Sometimes the roads are bumpy and the road are confusing, but he just know the place by heart and we totally relied on him for the entire trip.
Overall, safari in Kenya is one of the best experience you can get for your vacation. Choosing ACZ to organize the trip made it even better. We are thankful to John, Martin and their team's effort and would highly recommend them to anyone who would like to go on safari.
