Affordable!
We are very unfortunate on our way to Masai Mara because our car had a problem and we were waiting for 2hrs to get it fixed. But despite of the misfortune, we had a good game drive. Masai Mara is so magical! We have seen Lions and Cheetahs, amazing! The camp we stayed which is the Enchoro Wildlife Camp was fantastic, they have a nice food too! Just one downside of the tour is the guide is not so informative.

Unbelivable experiance
Everybody says something about Africa but when i come&see, Africa is unbelivable. There is not a such experiance like Africa. You must feel this freedom.
I had no long time and i attent to the 2 days mikumi safari tour. And it was good to feel the ambiance. The road to national park is too too long. The car has no A/C. But our tour guide is so nice and trying to make us comfortable and so you are forgetting all the things. He is so kind and helpfull. We get very very close to the animals. We have change to see all the animals that park has. Even lion family with 3 little kids. Elephants are amazing. Guide makes us some off roads to see the animals closer in the bushes. I love elephants so much. The guide is so important and he finds and shows them again and again and again

Extremely trustworthy, comprehensive experience
On site tour guides drove our family all throughout the country and were very reliable and helpful in negotiating the details of our experiences. Separate from the guide, the company also set up a Whatsapp discussion group with the owner and office staff in case we had any further questions or problems that they could Manage in real time. The only real problem we had was one of the hotels had our family booked in the wrong room type despite the company confirming previously but with a whatsapp message and our local guide intervening, it was fixed immediately. overall I would recommend them as a very reliable domestic based company in SA for a privately guided group trip (which will save an enormous amount of $ over the US & UK based companies).

four day Masai Mara Safari
Our guide Erastus was able to get us in front of pretty all animals we wanted to see; lot’s of communication going on all the time on the radio between the guides.
The road trip (specifically Masai Mara to Nairobi is NOT recommendable - super lousy roads so it takes ages and has no value - take a plane)

Fantastic Guides
Went on three safaris close to Arusha. Our guide's name was Alpha and he was great. He was very capable in controlling the car and just amazing at spotting animals from a distance. Great conservationist as well. Great experience.
It would be 5 stars if not for the experience before the safaris. Do yourself a favor and ask for where you are going to be staying and do some research around that. Our group was doing the safari after the climb and we got lodged in a pretty bad place - Arusha Tourist Inn.

Cool Safari experience in Tanzania!
Experience with Okoa africa tours was Great, would just wish a bit more help with a choice of the tour beforehand. It is very important to choose the right spots at the right times because of animals migration and weather condition. The communication was from the beginning flawless.
We visited central and southern part of Serengeti during migration, Ngorogoro crater (the best!) and lake Manyara and stayed 3 nights. After seeing it I would next time exchange lake Manyara for Tarangire NP for the variety of animals, but also like this it was great as all 3 NPs offer you very different view on the nature (savannah, tropical forest, lakes, crater).
Our guide Halifa was absolutely amazing and knew so much about all the animals and plants and was very flexible regarding our plans and answering all our curious questions. We did the camping tour so we also had our Chef Sokofo always with us and he was just the best! Did not expect having such great food in the middle of nature. Campsites were all very clean and enjoyable, but be prepared to sleep surrounded by animals (not dangerous, just a strange feeling when a buffalo feeds himself with a grass right around your tent.
The price is very appropriate for the experience you get, it was just stunning!

Affordable and reliable Safari tour
I and my boyfriend did the 7 days Safari tour in December 2019 and we are really happy with the experience. It was our first Safari.
We saw a lot of different animals and environments, doing several interesting extra activities (we suggest mountain biking in Hell's Gate, boat tour in Nakuru and The Masai Village visit). Our driver/guide Jeff was exceptional: he was friendly and helpful, with long-standing experience. Please note that some accommodations/meals in the budget safari (the one we chose) are quite basic and sometimes a bit wild (like the tented camp in Amboseli)... but of course, that's part of the adventure ;)
Also, it was positive to us the fact that communications with Big Time Safari Ltd, before our arrival in Kenya, were constant and clear: Martha has been very patient in answering all our questions, satisfying our requests (like the presence of vegetarian meals) and evaluating with us different Safari tour options.
