OUTSTANDING !! WELL ORGANISED/ GREAT VALUE *****
OUTSTANDING LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
We searched Safaribookings.com intensely and chose African Big Cats Safaris because they ticked all the boxes for us.
From the initial contact, the staff were very professional and helpful. Joshua and Naomi answered any questions quickly and with a friendly approach.
The meetings at the start and end of the safari with Emanuel (Managing Director) shows the dedication and personal care this company has.
The itinerary for the Photographic Safari was excellent. We added an extra day in Arusha at the start without any problem.
The safari was well planned and the accommodation in each location was superb.
This excellent safari was made OUTSTANDING by our driver/guide FESTO.
He is a human encyclopaedia when it comes to the birds, animals and culture of his country. His driving skills are impressive. His passion is infectious.
Each day we shared wonderful, magical experiences. Festo became a friend in the short time we were with him.
This was our first safari and we were lucky to have chosen African Big Cats Safaris. They would be the only company we would go back to.
We highly recommend them.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
It's been a month since our safari trip. It was an amazing trip. Beyond my expectations.
The collaboration with African Big Cats started from months before the trip. The operators, including Salim and others, were helpful. Most of our specified lodging requests were fulfilled and we were able to finalize the trip. They communicated efficiently and accurately.
The entire trip was well planned. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti Central, Serengeti North and Ngorongoro. Some highlights are of course the great migration, the wildebeests crossing in Serengeti, the great view in the Ngorongoro crater, seeing cheetah in the night safari in Tarangire.
Our guide Khalid is professional. He knows all the animals. We were able to get to know a lot of species in the trip. He helped us mark in our book so we always know what we saw in the trip. We also enjoyed listening to stories about the national parks, Masaai/Meru/Arusha tribes, the culture and thelife in Tanzania. The guide has been very friendly and our time together was great.
Our mom's big hope in the trip was to see the crossing. But we were unlucky on the first full day in the north Serengeti. By the end of the day we were unsure about if we still had any chance to see it because we needed to go back to the central Serengeti on the next day. Our guide suggested to wait for the crossing as much as we could on the next day. Because of his suggestion we were able to see the crossing. We saw a huge herd crossed and crocodiles preying wildebeests. It was awesome!
On the first day the manager Emanuel gave us a detailed briefing in Arusha. That's a good experience to start the trip.
For the lodgings, the first day's lodging in Mtoni River Lodge Arusha is a bit small for 3 persons in a room. Other than that its good.
If I have the privilege to get to safari tour in Tanzania again, I would be going with African Big Cats and Khalid again.

Unforgettable Safari with African Big Cats!
Our experience with African Big Cats was absolutely fantastic! We did a private safari in Spanish, and from start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Endeni, was simply amazing — incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, always kind and patient, and truly passionate about what he does. He made every game drive special, spotting animals we would have never seen on our own and sharing fascinating stories about each one.
The organization was flawless: great communication, well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodations, and no hidden surprises. Everything was handled with care and attention to detail. You can really tell that the team goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy every moment.
Overall, the value for money was excellent, and we came home with unforgettable memories. We 100% recommend African Big Cats to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional safari operator in Tanzania — especially if you want a personalized, smooth, and truly memorable adventure!

Wonderful!
African Big Cats put together a personalized safari experience that exceeded our expectations. They listened to what we wanted with the price range we had. They were able to accommodate a change in dates when the airline we booked with changed the dates of our arrival and departure by a day. Our guide Venance was fantastic!

Friendly, professional and easygoing
We had a great experience with African Big Cats Safari. It started with good and quick communication via email. They were kind and flexible. While on safari, we had Ricky as our personal guide. He is kind, easygoing and a real professional. For example: he led us away from a group of elephants, because he knew where they where going next. So we had perfect view when they came to us.
The accomodations were great and diverse, from a nice lodge to a camp in the wilderness with animal noises during the night. African Big Cats Safari is run by local Tanzanians with a lot of kindness and knowlegde. They are flexible, they even suggested a few small changes to make our experience more smooth. And at the end, we debriefed shortly because they were interested in our trip and feedback.
I would recommend this company to everybody.
