Unforgettable Safari Experience – Perfectly Organized from Start to Finish
5/5

Our safari with African Big Cats Safaris was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Everything was perfectly organized, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent – always clear, friendly, and professional.

What truly made this safari unforgettable was our guide, Festo. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, ecosystems, and conservation – he was also an exceptional person. Warm, respectful, thoughtful, and calm, he guided us with great care and attention throughout the entire trip. We always felt safe, well looked after, and deeply supported in our curiosity and excitement.

Festo's passion for nature and animals was contagious. Thanks to him, we were able to witness breathtaking moments, learn so much, and truly connect with the environment around us. We are incredibly grateful that he was our guide – we could not have imagined a better person to share this journey with.

We give African Big Cats Safaris the highest possible rating and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience – especially if you're lucky enough to have Festo as your guide!

Unforgettable honeymoon
5/5

We have just returned home after the most amazing honeymoon. We did a 7 night luxury safari with African Big Cats and it was everything we dreamed of and more. From initial planning conversations to helping us with airline issues on departure, Emanuel and Naomi were extremely helpful for which we are so grateful!

We spent the week with our guide Lovoi and had such an unforgettable time with him. He shared his vast knowledge of the local culture and animals. He knew the best spots to go to and spotted the animals a mile off, and we were often away from the crowds which made our time so special. We saw all the big 5 which was a bonus. Our highlights were seeing a pride of lions (11!), the wildebeest migration and the many scenic lunch spots we stopped at, enjoying lunch together whilst up close to the animals!

The safari vehicle was comfortable, plenty of charging points and fridge always full of drinks. Even after long dusty rides, Lovoi would ensure the vehicle was clean the next day which was great and very much appreciated.

We could not fault the accommodation we stayed in, all luxurious, clean and lovely food and staff. It was nice to relax by the pools after a full day out. The pack up options were all lovely too.

We would go back in a heartbeat and have recommended African Big Cats to our family of friends.

10/10 Accommodating, affordable, amazing adventure!
5/5

Planning a trip to Tanzania felt like a very daunting task, but African Big Cats made it SO easy. All we did was book flights, and they took care of all transportation, lodging, park passes, food, and anything else you could think of. After looking around at some other safari companies, we liked the price point of this one the best. It definitely felt more luxurious than we were expecting. We did an 8 day comfort safari, and really felt like we saw it all. I was shocked by how many different types of landscapes and terrains we saw. Of course the animals were amazing - we saw the big 5! Our guide Obedi was phenomenal. He was so knowledgable, accommodating, and an all-around cool guy. We had lots of great laughs together! The other amazing thing about this company is that it's run by Tanzanians, not some outside tour company, so you're really supporting the local community. The director came personally to our first lodge to tell us what to expect. The staff was SO responsive and accommodating, every step of the way.

An unforgettable first safari — professional yet full of joy
5/5

We went with my cousin on a 5-day safari starting from Arusha, and from the very beginning, we felt safe and truly welcomed by African Big Cats Safaris — especially thanks to our guide, Dominick. Thanks to them, we didn’t just get to see the incredible landscapes and wildlife of Tanzania, but also got a glimpse into the local culture and daily life.

The vehicle they provided was always in excellent condition, the accommodations and meals offered great value for money, and communication throughout the trip was clear and transparent. One thing we really appreciated was that the company never tried to upsell us. On the contrary, they seemed genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience, even offering some complementary services and advising us against certain activities given the season we visited.

As for the safari itself, we managed to spot 4 of the famous Big 5 — leopards were a bit shy this time, but we were lucky enough to see some stunning cheetahs instead ;) We took amazing photos and learned a lot about animal behavior and the different species along the way. Dominick, with his 9+ years of experience, had a great eye for spotting wildlife and picking up small details from far away, all while making sure we stayed safe. He also shared plenty of interesting facts about nature and the Maasai traditions, which made the trip even more special.

Great communication, excellent recommendations, and a wonderful overall experience
5/5

We had a tremendous time on our Safari to Tanzania followed by relaxing beach time in Zanzibar before heading back home. Planning the trip with African Big Cats Safaris was very easy with excellent communication with Naomi. She listened to all of our specific requests and even reached out to our different accommodations to make them aware of any celebrations we may be having. Our Safari guide, Venance, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the cultural history, and the plant life. It made our experience so much richer by learning from him. He was kind and respectful throughout the trip. He ensured we saw the big 5 during our safari and paid extra care to allow us time to see our favourite animals. Venance also made wonderful suggestions to add onto our experience, such as visiting a Massai tribal community, and made recommendations on where we could purchase things from local shops. All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime and we would be happy to return and work with African Big Cats Safari's again.
