This adventure fulfilled a lifelong dream to experience the Northern Lights and Norwegian culture first hand. The ship and facilities onboard were good, offshore excursions were excellent although it would be beneficial for the local guides to provide a little more historic/technical information. Our Big Journey escort was also excellent, very personable -idle going away with family. This is one more adventure we can "scratch" off our "bucket list" Thank you DRI and Big Journey for...

We were excited when we read about The Big Journey Company's escorted trip to Norway and the Northern Lights emphasis. Seeing the Aurora Borealis has been on our bucket list and we jumped at the chance to go with Diamond Resorts International and The Big Journey. We were somewhat apprehensive about the temperatures in Norway but the friendly people at each excursion provided appropriate attire for the activity. The best part was the fantastic Northern Lights display on multiple nights. ... (read more)

Extraordinary beyond words; unexpected sightings (lioness stalk, kill, feast, leopard kill/feed, two male lions feasting on young zebra, python stretched across the road, etc). So was ever attentive, overseeing everyone's needs/wants. Ngochi was a walking encyclopedia and an experienced driver. Both had a sense of humor and kindly personalities. The food was ALWAYS excellent, countless selections and polite, efficient servers/chefs. There was NOTHING I did not like, except I felt I was... (read more)

The safari to Kenya was our first group trip. Everything about the safari exceeded our expectations. From picking us up at the airport, until returning us there. Previously we had never heard of Big Journey, but we would not hesitate a minute to book with them again. The safari camps far exceeded our expectations, the food was out of this world and all waiters and staff were very friendly. Our guides were superb; so personal, so knowledgable, so skilled. They made our trip stress free. (read more)

We have been on 6 escorted holidays with Big Journey Company, and the fact that we come back time and again is testament to the quality and enjoyment, good company and value for money we have experienced over the years. The knowledge that the trips are organised to the last detail in order to provide us with entertainment, comfort and security ensures that we always have a really good time. (read more)

Everything about their Kenya Safari is first class but with an affordable price. Each day of our 10 day trip topped the previous day. We saw most all the wild animal species and up close and personal from our pop top van. We also saw a live pursuit and catch of females lions catching a wart hog and also saw male lions feeding on a zebra carcus and a leapord feeding on a gazille he had hauled up a tree. 4 optional side trips were also interesting and affordable. Our Big Journey host and... (read more)

Fantastic holiday and we have left feeling that we have seen all the major sights of China and more. I would definitely recommend The Big Journey Company. Our Chinese tour guides were excellent - very informative and happy to answer any questions. So, our Big Journey escort is very calm and relaxed and always there to help with any problems – everything ran very smoothly and to time. (read more)

This was our first ever Safari and we were pleasantly suprised how good all the accommodation, food and service was considering we were in remote locations. Our driver guide Sande was a very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable man. He added so much to the Safari with his knowledge of Kenya, Animals, Plants and Birds. Sohrab our Big Journey Escort was instrumental in the great success of the holiday and Safari, with his enthusiasm and organisation, keeping us to a tight schedule,... (read more)

We have now been on 3 tours with The Big Journey Company and each has been superb. Each tour gave us a taste of the country visited and had been organised to ensure that the activities rolled seamlessly into each other, with a local guide to provide the information necessary to appreciate everything. Previous to these tours we had organised our own travel, itineraries etc but our first tour with The Big Journey Company to China was so stress free and relaxed that we have now been to Kenya...

We have had two holidays with The Big journey Company. Both were fabulous and great experiences that will last long in our memories: Our first was a seven night safari in Kenya and a three day stay on edge of the Indian Ocean, just North of Mombasa. On safari we saw just about every wild animal you could expect to see including, lions, leopards, cheetah, giraffes, elephants, hyena, hippos and so many more. Our guide was both friendly and knowledgeable and ensured we saw Kenya as we could... (read more)
