Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
5/5

We had an absolutely perfect safari experience with African Big Cats. From the first interactions the team was highly responsive and tailored the itinerary to our preferences. They planned everything seamlessly and all the lodges we stayed in along the way, hand picked by them, were fantastic. Huge shoutout to our guide, Frank, whose deep knowledge and sparkling humor made even the earliest and longest of drives an absolute pleasure. We would recommend African Big Cats to anyone and hope one day to return!

Outstanding, attentive, and highly detailed service. An unforgettable experience!
5/5

Our entire experience in Tanzania was absolutely outstanding, all thanks to African Big Cats Safaris. Right from the start, communication was clear, prompt, and responsive. They tailored our itinerary and accommodation perfectly to our preferences, showing genuine flexibility with destinations and lodging. Every logistics detail, including our seamless transfers, was confirmed proactively.

The manager's exceptional attention to detail stood out. He met us in person on day one for a comprehensive briefing, aligning the daily plan and ensuring we had zero uncertainties.

Our guide, Martin, was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions thoroughly, sharing fascinating insights into wildlife, African culture, and local life. Covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Central Serengeti, Martin was always punctual and attentive. He kept the game drives flexible, letting us start later or skip afternoon drives to relax at the lodge whenever we wished. Furthermore, Martin’s hospitality was perfectly balanced—engaging yet respectful of our space. When one of us fell ill, Martin showed incredible care, immediately coordinating with the lodge to ensure medical assistance was available.

We are deeply grateful for this special journey and will enthusiastically recommend African Big Cats Safaris and Martin to all our friends back home!

The Safari of a Lifetime
5/5

Our safari exceeded every expectation. From the initial booking and trip planning to the seamless coordination throughout our journey, everything was handled flawlessly. The operations manager took care of every detail, making the entire experience effortless and stress-free.

A safari is only as good as its guide, and Samwell truly made our trip unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and always attentive to our needs. His intelligence, experience, and remarkably sharp eyesight meant we were often the first to spot wildlife and arrive at sightings before anyone else. His passion for the bush was evident every day, and we learned so much from him.

The lodges and tented camps were spectacular—each one unique, beautifully designed, and full of character. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, and the food was consistently excellent.

This was the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend this team to anyone planning a safari—they truly deliver an exceptional adventure from start to finish.

Amazing!
5/5

If you're looking for a safari company that truly goes above and beyond, I can't recommend African Big Cats Safari enough. From the very beginning, they helped us create a custom itinerary that perfectly fit the needs of our group, and throughout the entire trip they made sure we were safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
What really sets this company apart is their incredible attention to detail. Whether it was accommodating dietary restrictions, keeping our vehicle clean after long game drives, or making sure every part of our experience was seamless, they thought of everything. They even made my son's birthday unforgettable by surprising him with a cake while the staff came out singing and dancing. It was such a heartfelt moment that our family will always remember.
Our guide, Omega, was simply outstanding and deserves the biggest thanks of all. We spent eight amazing days with him, and his dedication never wavered. He was incredibly patient and worked tirelessly to make sure we saw every animal we hoped to see. His driving skills and ability to track wildlife were truly impressive—he was always searching, listening, and positioning us for the best possible sightings. Beyond that, he was a wealth of knowledge, answering every question with ease and sharing fascinating facts and trivia about the animals and their behaviors. His passion, expertise, and years of experience were evident every single day, and he played a huge role in making this the trip of a lifetime.
A special thank you as well to Naomi, who was always prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful with email communication before our trip, and to Emmanuel, who warmly welcomed us at the start and saw us off at the end.
We chose African Big Cats Safari based on a friend's recommendation after they traveled with them the year before, and they absolutely lived up to the praise. During our safari, we saw countless vehicles from many different companies, but after experiencing the level of service we received, we're confident we made the right choice. If you want a company that genuinely cares about your experience and ensures every need is met, look no further.
We will absolutely be recommending African Big Cats Safari to our friends and family for years to come.
Asante sana, Omega and the entire African Big Cats Safari team, for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime!

Seamless and unforgettable experience
5/5

Our experience in Tanzania and the safari was nothing short of mind blowing. We had a great experience with African Big Cats Safari. From the get go Joshua and Naomi were able to listen to our requests and carve out the itinerary that was custom to our needs. Before the start of the safari, Emmanuel had a detailed briefing with us about what to expect from the safari itself, lodging, food, roads, and safety. He made us feel very comfortable and we got the immediate sense that we were in very capable hands.

We flew into the Central Serengeti's Seranora airstrip where we were met by our guide, Festo. We covered 3 days in Serengeti and then a day each at Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National park. We were amazed by all the animals we saw from the herds of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, warthogs, different species of antelopes, hippos, and of course the cats (lions, leopard, cheetahs) all living in nature the way it was meant to be. We were blessed to catch the elusive black and white rhinos as well in close proximity and almost saw a cheetah going for a kill. We saw and learnt a lot about the smaller animals and the various species of birds native to Tanzania.

A special mention about our guide, Festo was always so cheerful and full of energy from sunrise to the end of the day. He went above and beyond to guide us through our humbling experience in nature's wonderland. Beyond the main animals, he was very knowledgeable about the trees, smaller animals, birds, insects, and the animal behaviors making it a wholesome experience for us. It's not an easy job to drive a safari vehicle, be a great spotter, and share knowledge and history with us while having really long days. He patiently allowed us to take pictures and videos at every opportunity. Best of all, his positive energy and smile was incredibly infectious and kept us in peppy spirits.

All the lodges we stayed at were clean, comfortable, and provided an immersive experience in nature. We loved our interactions with the local people. Being vegetarians we were amazed at the number of delicious options we had for each meal. Lastly the hospitality shown by Tanzanians in every place was truly remarkable. We felt we got great value and service for the price we paid.

Our only recommendation to fellow travelers would be to either do Lake Manyara early in the trip or to skip it all together as it is underwhelming compared to what you can see in the other parks. There is so much to also learn about the Masai culture, we wish we had allocated some additional time for that.

Overall this was an unforgettable lifetime experience with loads of memories thanks to African Big Cat Safaris and the people of Tanzania. Please do continue preserving the parks, the way they are, with as little human influence as possible.
