Who are We?

The Big Elephant Adventures

Welcome to The Big Elephant Adventures, a proudly Tanzanian safari company dedicated to creating unforgettable journeys through the heart of Africa. We are based in Tanzania and specialize in authentic, well-organized, and life-changing safari experiences designed for travelers who want more than just a trip — they want a story to remember forever.

Tanzania is home to some of the world’s most famous wildlife destinations, from the endless plains of the Serengeti National Park, to the breathtaking beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater, the giant baobabs of Tarangire, and the scenic landscapes of Lake Manyara. At The Big Elephant Adventures, we bring you close to these wonders through expertly guided safaris that combine adventure, comfort, and deep respect for nature and local culture.

 

Our Passion and Purpose

Our name, The Big Elephant Adventures, represents strength, wisdom, and unforgettable presence — just like the mighty elephants that roam Tanzania’s wilderness. Elephants are not only one of the most iconic animals on safari, but they also symbolize the spirit of African wildlife: powerful, peaceful, intelligent, and connected to the land. This is the same spirit we bring into every safari we organize.

We believe that every traveler deserves a safari that feels personal. That’s why we focus on delivering experiences that are carefully planned, professionally guided, and tailored to your travel goals — whether you dream of witnessing the Great Migration, searching for the Big Five, enjoying luxury lodge stays, or exploring Tanzania on a budget without missing the magic.

 

What We Offer

The Big Elephant Adventures offers a wide range of safari experiences to suit every type of traveler. Our tours are created with flexibility in mind, so you can choose from ready-made packages or request a tailor-made itinerary designed just for you.

Our safari experiences include:

 

Wildlife Safaris

Our classic game drive safaris take you into Tanzania’s most famous national parks to experience wildlife in its natural habitat. These safaris are perfect for photographers, nature lovers, couples, families, and groups looking for a thrilling and rewarding adventure.

 

Private Safaris

Private safaris give you the freedom to travel at your own pace. You enjoy a dedicated safari vehicle and personal guide, allowing you to spend more time with animals, stop whenever you want for photos, and adjust the schedule based on your interests.

For travelers who enjoy meeting others and sharing the experience, group safaris offer a great way to enjoy Tanzania while keeping the trip cost-friendly. We organize small and comfortable groups to maintain quality and ensure everyone enjoys the journey.

Why Tanzania With Us?

Tanzania is a country of incredible diversity. In one trip, you can witness lions hunting in the Serengeti, elephants walking under Tarangire’s baobabs, and flamingos coloring the shores of Lake Manyara. You can feel the excitement of a sunrise game drive, hear the sounds of nature at night, and experience the true meaning of wilderness.

With The Big Elephant Adventures, you do not just visit Tanzania — you experience it in a way that feels real, comfortable, and unforgettable.

Quick Safari FAQ

Which country is better for first-time safari travellers?

Both are excellent, but Kenya is often easier for first-timers because it offers great wildlife in fewer days and has many safari options for different budgets. Tanzania is ideal if you want bigger landscapes and a longer safari route.

Where is the Great Migration better: Kenya or Tanzania?

Both countries are part of the Great Migration. In Tanzania (Serengeti), you can follow the herds across a much larger area for many months of the year. In Kenya (Masai Mara), the migration is famous for dramatic river crossings (seasonal). Your best choice depends on the month you travel.

Which has better chances of seeing the Big Five?

Both Kenya and Tanzania offer Big Five viewing. Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most reliable places to see many animals in a short time, while Kenya has strong Big Five areas including the Masai Mara and other reserves.

Is Kenya cheaper than Tanzania for safari?

In many cases, yes. Kenya often has more budget-friendly safari choices, while Tanzania can be slightly more expensive due to park fees and longer travel distances. However, both destinations offer budget, mid-range, and luxury options.

Which is better for a short safari (3–5 days)?

Kenya is usually better for shorter safaris because parks are easier to reach and wildlife viewing is excellent within a short time.

Which is better for honeymoon and luxury safari?

Both are great, but Tanzania is often preferred for honeymooners who want the Serengeti experience, remote camps, and dramatic scenery. Kenya is also excellent for luxury, especially in the Masai Mara.
