Flawless Tanzania Safari with African Big Cats Safaris - Highly Recommended!
5/5

We just finished an unforgettable family safari organized by African Big Cats Safaris, and couldn't be happier with our experience! From our very first inquiry, their communication was professional, flexible, and attentive to all our detailed requests as a family travelling with 4.5-year-old daughter.
Our tour guide, Venance, was absolutely outstanding, he has an incredible eye for wildlife, we saw almost all the iconic animals. He was also extremely patient, kind, and amazing with our daughter, making the long game drives completely stress free and joyful for her.
If you want a perfectly tailored, safe, and magical safari experience in Tanzania, look no further than African Big Cats Safaris!

Wonderful, unforgettable adventure!
5/5

We selected African Big Cats Safaris company after reviewing over twenty offers. The company gave us a very professional impression already at the stage of planning of our trip. They were the only ones replying with a program taylored to all our specific requests. We spent five wonderful days with them in a private safari tour.
Before the start of the Safari the Head of the company came to our hotel and gave us an extensive briefing.
Our driver and guide was extremely professional, kind, attentive to our interests and making all efforts to keep us happy. Thanks to him we saw the Big five and even more important, we experienced so many exceptional moments ( for example witnessing first moments of newly born antelopes, inter alia). He was truly passionate about wildlife. When we wished we stayed very long to watch animals, and in many places also escaped other safari cars which seemed as very exclusive safari

The lodges booked by the company were exactly those that we wanted. All very good quality both in terms of accommodation and food. The car was very comfortable and had a roof we could open and watch animal through it.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience. It was worth every penny. We would certainly recommend the African Big Cats Safaris company and our guide. We would definitely book with them again.

We really made the right decision with African Big Cats Safari!
5/5

African safaris had always been on our travel list, but we were unsure it would be worth the cost. We were wrong! Our only regret is not going on safari earlier.
We chose African Big Cats Safaris (ABC) because they were highly recommended by friends of ours and they were so flexible in designing our itinerary. We wanted to spend a few days in Kenya, to see Nairobi and visit the Amboseli National Park. ABC was able to start our adventure there, using a Kenyan safari company, Essence of Kenya. Our guides, Sam and John were wonderful, especially when one of our duffels was delayed. And our transition into Tanzania was easy, switching guides at the border. In Tanzania, we concentrated on four areas: Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Southern Serengeti near Ndutu, and Central Serengeti (the Seronera area). Each area was different, but all were fascinating.
As for our accommodations, each of us had our own vision of how each day would end. Would it be: a refreshing dip in the pool? A cool drink and a good meal? A campfire with other travelers? ABC made sure we would all be happy. And we were. Our accommodations were mostly tented camps, luxurious and comfy.
But as anyone could guess, the game drives were the real main features. Watching the animals living their daily lives in their own natural world was incredible. We witnessed giraffes snacking on high tree limbs, families of elephants strolling along with babies at their side, prides of lions lounging in the tall grass, gazelles frolicking, cheetahs stalking, the leopard sleeping in a tree. And I cannot forget to mention all the other animals: hippos, alligators, water buffalo, zebras, baboons, rhinos, hyenas, warthogs, and thousands of birds. We saw them all and more. And all of it was amid the great green expanse of open plains and savannahs (it was January). Truly magical!
It was all made possible by ABC and our fantastic, brilliant guide in Tanzania, Festo. I cannot say enough about Festo. His knowledge of Tanzania, of the animals and their habits is unbelievable, not to mention the delicious picnics he brought and his ability to know the perfect place to park the Land Rover for a great photo. Between the four of us, we have over 5,000 photos – after we deleted the duplicates and fuzzy ones. Festo had a knack of making every game drive into a new day of discovery and insight into the natural world of Tanzania.
As for tips for travelers to Tanzania, we came prepared for mosquitoes, cold nights and hot days. However, perhaps because it was January, we experienced no mosquitoes, warm days (ok, hot in the direct sun) and pleasant evenings. We did use our warm clothes in the evenings at the Ngorongoro Crater rim, which was nippy due to the altitude. So, my best and only real tip is to let African Big Cats Safaris do your planning and let their guides take care of the rest.
On a personal note, I have breathing problems walking, especially on an incline. I noticed we always had a tent close to the dining and social area. Asante, ABC! And Festo was always there, urging me to walk “pole pole” (Swahili for “slowly slowly”). Such care and patience! Asante, Festo!

Amazing experience
5/5

We had an amazing experience with African Big Cats Safaris. The communication throughout the booking process was excellent and our safari was very well planned! Our guide Samuel did everything to get us as close to all the animals as possible and always provided helpful information about the different species we saw. All the accomodations were wonderful and we can really recommend booking with African Big Cats. We will surely come back!

Most amazing adventure!
5/5

We had the best experience with African Big Cats Safaris. From creating the 2 week safari with staff (who were very responsive and helpful) to the actual safari with our unbelievable guide Sam. He really helped make our experience unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, kind and always present. We stayed at fabulous lodges and tented camps- each one unique and very cool. Accommodations were spectacular and the food was very good. We had some rain and a lot of overcast (which kept the temperature pleasant). There was some fairly tricky, sloshy driving. So many vehicles became mired in the mud- not us. Our Sam was always the first to help them which, again, spoke to his character. I'd go back in a heartbeat and would absolutely use African Big Cats Safaris again.
