YOUR idea

When you combine curate, defined as the selection, organization, and presentation of information, using professional or expert knowledge, with create, which means to produce through imaginative skill, you have a powerful tool.

These assets are sought-after traits in all fields of endeavor from the arts to science to business. That is especially true in the field of travel. Planning a journey with skill, knowledge and imagination helps transform what might have been an ordinary vacation into an once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Since 1973, Big Five has sought to bring to life some of the most amazing places and unique travel experiences, first in Africa, then in Latin America, Asia and the South Pacific.  Each journey is crafted to the interests of our guests – whether that extends to Rio’s art scene, a treehouse stay in Kenya, or a bicycle ride through Sri Lanka.

We are pleased and honored to announce that the advisors of Virtuoso have nominated Big Five for the 2017 Virtuoso Peer-to-Peer Award: Best Curated Travel Partner. This award speaks to the creativity of the entire team.

Basically, we know our sh%&.., er… I mean, stuff.  Begin by discovering Big Five’s President’s Picks collection.
