Kenya

The endless plains of the Maasai Mara. Amboseli’s great horizons. Rift Valley lakes and mountain country. Kenya is not one safari story — it’s many.

05 / The Big Time story

Not just where we work. Where we belong.

Our story is inseparable from the landscapes of East Africa: the Maasai Mara, the Rift Valley lakes, the Serengeti and the forests of Uganda.

From first-time travellers to lifelong explorers, we help people find their own connection to Kenya and Tanzania — through group-joining journeys, private safaris and adventures shaped around them.

A few good questions.

Practical answers for the start of your East African adventure.

Ask our team

When is the best time to go on safari?

Kenya and Tanzania offer safari experiences throughout the year. Seasons affect rainfall, wildlife movement and availability. Tell us what you hope to see and when you can travel so we can suggest a suitable route.

Can I join a safari as a solo traveller?

Yes. Group-joining safaris are an option for solo travellers. Departure availability, room sharing and any single supplement should be confirmed with the team before you book.

What is the difference between group and private safaris?

A group-joining safari shares the journey with other travellers. A private safari travels with your own party, with more scope to personalise the route and pace.

Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania in one trip?

A combined journey can connect highlights in both countries. Allow time for transfers and confirm border, visa and entry requirements for your nationality before travel.

What should I budget for a safari?

Cost depends on your dates, duration, accommodation, group size and route. Request a personalised quote with clear inclusions rather than relying on a generic from-price.

How do I start planning with Big Time Safaris?

Begin with your travel dates, who is travelling and the places or experiences you are interested in. The planning page helps you prepare those details for our team.
