1973 Mahen Sanghrajka Ground Breaking Big Five Tours
Since 1973, Big Five has created life-affirming journeys to some 44 destinations worldwide. Our Destination Specialists, award-winning adventures and premier 24-hour White Glove Service® guest assistance combine to present the journey of a lifetime to individuals, families and small groups. Sustainable travel is at the heart of Big Five. We have seen how the power of travel can change the world for the better. Sustainability benefits both the traveler and the places visited. Whether the focus is cultural, wildlife or adventure, we tailor each journey to the interests of guests traveling in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific.
Our unwavering commitment to sustainable tourism has garnered significant recognition. We have been honored Three Times with the Sustainable Tourism Leadership Award, an international luxury travel network, in 2024, 2016 and 2014. Additionally, we are recognized for our comprehensive efforts in conservation, poverty alleviation, and education in remote destinations.
Under President Ashish Sanghrajka, we embrace technology to advance sustainable tourism. In 2019, we launched GIB 5.0, a proprietary AI tool application designed to support our sustainable tourism projects worldwide. Complementing our technological advancements, the Spirit of Big Five Foundation, established in 2007, reflects our core beliefs in conserving and protecting the best of what our planet has to offer. The foundation supports conservation, cultural preservation, poverty alleviation, education, and healthcare projects across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the South Pacific.
At Big Five Tours & Expeditions, we believe the future lies in the hands of the next generation. This passion drives our Family Togetherness journeys, inspiring families to explore the world in meaningful ways. Family travel is important to us on many levels, not just as an industry segment. There’s a world of wonders waiting to be discovered, and we want every generation to experience them, inspired by a blog post, “252 Days Over Twelve Years is All You Have”.
Looking ahead, our mission remains clear, supporting the voiceless and expanding sustainable travel initiatives that forge deeper connections with local communities. We are committed to offering transformative experiences that enrich our travelers while positively impacting the places we cherish.
Travel is about changing the world, not just seeing it. We invite you to join us on a journey that honors the legacy of our founder and embraces a future of responsible, life-changing adventures.
