Our Story as a Tanzania Safari Company
At Big Time Adventures, we are a trusted Tanzania Safari Company based in Arusha. From the very beginning, our mission has been to create unforgettable safari experiences across Tanzania. As a result, travelers from around the world trust us to plan personalized adventures.
As a Tanzania Safari Company, our mission has always been to provide honest, personalized, and unforgettable safari experiences for travelers from around the world.
As he studied Tourism Management and travelled the country, Nelson noticed something important:
As a trusted Tanzania Safari Company, we operate safaris in Tanzania’s protected areas managed by the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA).
Many people struggled to find reliable safari information. Because of this, we recognized the need for honest travel advice. As a result, Big Time Adventures was founded to provide transparent and reliable safari services.
This question planted the idea for Big Time Adventures.
Years later, Nelson met three travellers stranded at the airport after being scammed by a fake operator.
Seeing their frustration and realizing how many people around the world dreamed of visiting but didn’t know who to trust (a concern confirmed during a 2024 trip to the US) strengthened his mission to build a safari company rooted in truth, transparency, and genuine care.
A 2024 visit to the United States confirmed it — many people dreamed of visiting Tanzania but didn’t know where to begin.
From these experiences, Big Time Adventures Ltd was created.
Why the Name “Big Time Adventures”?
