Cheetahs!! - Great Safari! Our highlight was that We saw a cheetah family with a fresh wildebeest kill! It was amazing to see them all together having a meal!
Our guide Ben was absolutely fantastic. He knew exactly where to take us to see what we wanted to see. A very skilled driver to maneuver, the rough pot holed roads. We would like our fellow travelers to know that this is a great trip however it takes 6 to 7 hours to get to Maasai Mara right now. We booked ourselves a little too tight. Just be prepared for the time it takes and the rough road conditions. It was definitely worth it, but we were not prepared for the road or the time it took to get there. We loved the Mara Sopa Lodge that was chosen for us. I would stay there again. Enjoyed the swimming pool and the food. I was nervous about purchasing a trip like this online but The Viator team was very good about communicating with us prior to our Safari. Be sure to have WhatsApp on your phone.

Masai Mara - We did a three day tour with John as our driver. He made us feel well taken care of and safe all the time. His skills for finding the animals are just amazing. The car had seen better days, but taking the “roads” into consideration, it could have been far worse. The only thing we missed was some sort of briefing before the drives. We can highly recommend both a John and the company.

Experience of a Lifetime! - Absolutely fantastic experience! Anthony was the best guide anyone could have asked for. You can tell that the animals there are his passion and he is always happy to give as much information as you can handle. He always would go above and beyond to ensure we had the ultimate Safari experience. Would recommend to anyone!

Great trip to Masai Mara - We totally enjoyed our safari trip to Masai Mara organised by Bigmac Safaris. We were provided with a detailed itinerary and getting more info was quick and easy. Our travel guide and driver, Michael was a lovely guy and we enjoyed his company during the three days. His experience meant that we managed to get the most out of the game drives and the trip from and back to Nairobi.
I would book any future safaris with Bigmac.

Wow, just wow - We chose to arrange our safari our selves instead of engaging a travel agency in Denmark. We found Bigmac Africa Safaris and contacted Magdalene. She helped us make a perfect trip, made just for us and another family, just to our liking. It was always easy to get in contact with Magdalene, who always answered all our questions.
We were on a 7 days safari and visited Ambuseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara, two days each. And what a treat!! Our driver, Anthony (as well as the other family's driver, Joseph) were knowledgable, flexible and good company. They drove us safely on the highways as well as at the gravelroads in the parks, and they were amazing at finding the animals we wanted to see.
I would like to give my warmest recommendations to Bicmac Africa Safaris, Magdalene, Anthony and Joseph. They really gave us an incredibly good experience we will remember always.

Masai Mara Safari - We actually did 3 nights in the Mara and then flew down to Diani Beach everything was arranged by Bigmac Safaris.
From our pick up at hotel in Nairobi to the end of our safari everything was smooth and professional. Our driver/guide Joseph, was a great driver both in the city and in the game park. We saw every type of animal and bird that you could wish to see and Joseph was knowledgeable and most importantly a really nice guy. It was a pleasure to spend 4 great days in his company.
Please use a local tour company if you’re planning to visit Kenya it helps the economy which helps the game parks survive.
Thanks Joseph and Magdalene.

Great driver (Peter). Terrible companies. - Failure to provide the service I paid for on three occasions. Shallow justifications were given, however the service should have been provided regardless, as a commitment was made, as it was not delivered, I requested a partial refund. This was denied. Three failures of service occurred:
1. They did not pick me up on the day that I booked for. I had not cancelled. I had to book another hotel night as a result, unable to refund the night I was due to stay there after the safari. Expected a refund to the cost of the hotel.
2. They did not provide the morning safari I booked. They blamed this on park permits changing. I opted not to pay an extra permit, so I expected a refund for the driver that day as the safari did not go ahead.
3. They did not arrange a hotel drop off, I had to get dropped off at someone else's hotel and arrange an Uber myself.
This meant I had to pay for another night at the hotel, arrange my own transport back, and missed a morning of safari. And to add to that, the customer service was shocking. Shouting over me on the phone, leaving the explanation to the driver when they knew beforehand, just not acceptable.
They even made the other tourists wait in an unsafe area on the streets of Nairobi, fortunately I did not have to do this. They also seemed unable to grasp why I tipped the driver (great service) but still had these complaints.
If you do not want to risk an experience of a lifetime, I suggest going with other companies.
