Planning a safari in Tanzania is exciting — but choosing the right safari company is the most important decision you will make. A safari is not just a holiday; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime journey into some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, wildlife habitats, and cultures. At The Big Elephant Adventures, we understand how valuable your time, budget, and expectations are, and we work hard to make sure your safari is smooth, safe, and unforgettable.

We are proud to be a local Tanzanian safari company, and we are committed to offering more than just transportation and accommodation. We deliver a complete safari experience built on trust, professionalism, excellent guiding, and genuine hospitality.

Below are the key reasons why travelers from around the world choose The Big Elephant Adventures.


 

1. We Are Local Experts

Tanzania is our home. We know the national parks, routes, seasons, and wildlife patterns not from reading books — but from real experience on the ground. Being local means we understand:

  • Which areas are best for wildlife at different times of the year

  • Where to find unique animals and birdlife

  • The best routes to avoid crowds when possible

  • How to maximize your game viewing during your safari days

This knowledge gives our guests a better chance of seeing incredible wildlife moments, including the Big Five and many other unforgettable sightings.


 

2. Professional & Friendly Safari Guides

A safari becomes truly special when you have an excellent guide. Our guides are passionate professionals with deep knowledge of:

  • Wildlife behavior and tracking techniques

  • Tanzania’s ecosystems, landscapes, and conservation challenges

  • Birds, plants, and the smaller details that most travelers miss

  • Local history and cultural understanding

But just as important as knowledge is personality. Our guides are respectful, patient, and friendly — always ready to answer questions, explain what you’re seeing, and support you throughout the journey.

Whether you are a first-time safari traveler or an experienced wildlife lover, we ensure you feel comfortable and confident every day.


 

3. Tailor-Made Safaris Designed for You

No two travelers are the same — and no safari should be “one-size-fits-all.” At The Big Elephant Adventures, we specialize in creating custom safari itineraries based on your needs, such as:

  • Your travel dates and length of stay

  • Your budget (budget, mid-range, luxury)

  • Your preferred accommodation style (camping, lodges, tented camps)

  • Special interests (photography, birds, Big Five, Great Migration)

  • Travel type (solo, couple, family, honeymoon, group)

Whether you want a short 2–3 day safari or a full Tanzania experience across multiple parks, we build a plan that fits you perfectly.


 

4. Reliable Safari Vehicles for Comfort & Safety

Your safari vehicle is your moving “home” during game drives. That’s why we use strong, well-maintained 4×4 safari vehicles designed for Tanzania’s terrain and wildlife viewing.

Our vehicles are chosen with your comfort and experience in mind, offering:

  • Pop-up roof for panoramic wildlife viewing and photography

  • Comfortable seating and enough space for bags

  • Large windows for excellent visibility

  • Charging ports for phones and cameras

  • Cooler box for drinking water

  • Clean, professional and safari-ready condition

A reliable vehicle ensures your safari is not only enjoyable, but also safe and stress-free.


 

5. Honest Pricing With No Hidden Costs

We believe every guest deserves transparent and fair pricing. When you book with The Big Elephant Adventures, we explain clearly what is included in your safari package and what is not.

We guide you through important safari details such as:

  • Park fees and government charges

  • Accommodation types and meal plans

  • Transport logistics and airport transfers

  • Optional extras like balloon safaris or cultural tours

Our goal is to help you plan confidently, without surprise costs later. We focus on delivering the best safari value while maintaining high standards of service.


 

6. Excellent Communication & Support

We help you with:

  • Choosing the best itinerary for your schedule

7. We Focus on Real Safari Experiences

At The Big Elephant Adventures, we do not rush safaris. We understand that the best wildlife moments require patience, good timing, and a guide who knows how to read nature.

We focus on quality experiences such as:

  • Early morning game drives when wildlife is most active

  • Proper time inside the parks to enjoy the full day

  • Scenic picnic spots and viewpoints

  • Relaxed safari pace with time for photos and questions

We want you to feel the excitement of exploring Tanzania, not the pressure of being pushed through a schedule.


8. Responsible Tourism Matters to Us

We love Tanzania and we are committed to protecting it. Wildlife, nature, and local communities are the reason safaris exist — and we believe tourism should create a positive impact.

We support responsible tourism by:

  • Respecting wildlife viewing rules

  • Supporting local employment and local services

  • Encouraging respectful cultural interactions

  • Reducing unnecessary waste during trips

Quick Tanzania 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.
