One of the most amazing experiences!
5/5

I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life in Tanzania with African Big Cats Safaris. Their website is comprehensive and Justice and Naomi customized the perfect itinerary for me. This included a variety of different types of parks, as well as organizing all pickups/drop-offs from airports. The company also went above and beyond by helping me with a flight issue in-country. The hotel choices were wonderful, including an on-the-beach spot in Zanzibar and comfortable tent lodges while on safari. One in Tarangire had a watering hole with elephants right next to the lodge! The best experiences were the Serengeti balloon safari and my driver/guide, Khalid. He was unbelievably knowledgable about every animal, including knowing their Latin names and habits. It was amazing to get to experience the big 5, cheetahs, giraffes, birds, and many more in their natural environment. It was also very nice to meet the Managing Director, Emanuel; I thought that was a nice touch that showed the company valued my experience. I HIGHLY recommend African Big Cats Safaris and Khalid to everyone looking for the perfect safari adventure!

They provided exactly what we asked for in a special trip that we worked out with them.
5/5

This was a family trip including my wife and myself, four adult daughters and three husbands. We required two jeeps for the 12-day safari using a route that we worked out with the company. This was my 10th time to Africa and my 9th safari, but my first to Tanzania and the Serengeti. I (and my family, four of whom had never been to Africa) were extremely pleased with Africa Big Cats Safari and with our driver/guides who were very knowledgeable about the animals and birds and helped us locate those on our extensive list we had put together. We were treated to a very rare sighting of the black rhino in the Serengeti, with good photos and videos. Our family took at least 3000 photos and videos, including two massive wildebeest crossings on the northern Mara River. We took in the Lake Manyara Park, Ngorongoro Crater, the central Serengeti, the north Serengeti, and Tarangire National Park. We preferred and liked the smaller tent camps

Unforgettable experience, very professional operator and guide
5/5

Me and my family went on a customized 8-day safari tour with African Big Cats on September. This was our first time in Africa and honestly everything went beyond our expectation. From the very start, the staff of Africa Big Cats Safaris was very quick to respond to every email I sent and the itinerary and price they offered are all very specific and reasonable. The manager was very kind and considerate and gave us a very helpful and detailed briefing after we arrived. Our guide Earnest is very professional, he's a good driver and he knows exactly what he's doing. We saw the big five, baby cheetahs feeding, a lot of big cats, we also saw the crossing, twice! Earnest is also a walking encyclopedia of animals and we learnt a lot from him. The accommodations and food were all very comfortable and satisfying. Overall I'd say this was an unforgettable experience and if I were to visit Tanzania again, I'd definitely choose to go with African Big Cats Safaris again:)

Our expectations were exceeded
5/5

our tour was planned specifically according to our wishes. At first we were a little unsure whether booking and payment processing with a company from Tanzania was trustworthy. But our concerns were completely unfounded. Everything went smoothly.

Our safari went through Tarangire National Park, the South, Central and North Serengeti and finally the Ngorongoro Crater. The tour planner, Justice Justin, accommodated our every special request. We wanted a certain luxury in the wilderness and were not disappointed. The lodges selected were excellent. At the Maramboi Lodge the direct proximity to the lake and the animals. In the Kubu Kubu and the Mara Mara Logde the locations are in the middle of the Serengeti and the wilderness. At night we heard lions, hyenas and other animals near our tent.

Our guide Karim has excellent knowledge of German and was able to give us lots of details about the country's wildlife, nature and culture. Despite the rather difficult road conditions, we always felt safe in the Jeep. We had great encounters with all the big cats (lions, leopards and cheetahs), large groups of elephants and of course giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, gazelles, impalas, hyenas, warthogs etc. We also saw a rhinoceros in the distance. It is impossible to list them all. The birdlife is also impressive.
The highlight of our trip was the great migration. We saw several thousand wildebeest crossing the Mara River in the northern Serengeti. The earth shook under the animals' hooves. Young animals lost their mothers and ran back across the river, as did mothers in search of the lost young. A breathtaking event.

Luckily, the journey back from the Northern Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater wasn't quite as strenuous as expected. The view from the crater rim of Melia Ngorongoro Logde is incredible. The game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater was a worthy end to this extraordinary safari.

Many thanks to the African Big Cats team.

Amazing Experience With African Big Cat Safari
5/5

The experience was amazing. We took a 4 days Safari with African Big Cats Safari. We first did a full day at Tarangire National Park, then a full day at Ngorongoro Carter, a full day in the Serengeti and the last day at the Lake Manyara. We should have done an other day in Serengeti though.
People from African Big Cat Safari were delightful from our first e-mail asking for an estimate.
The day before our safari, Emmanuel took the time to explain the details of our safari and the must known to have the best experience possible.
Special thanks also to our Guide (@Lodi) which took the necessary time we needed and could also speak French helping us understand better when English was complicated. Hotels or Lodges selected were perfect for us. People are nice and very welcoming.
To finish, Emmanuel took also the time at the end of our Safari to have a feedback from our experience. It is a company that is growing strong taking the time to have all the comments in order to improve their offer.

Thanks a lot to African Big Cat Safari to their professionalism and to have make the experience unforgettable
