Kareem was truly exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, professional
5/5

We booked our honeymoon safari in Tanzania through African Big Cats and had an absolutely incredible experience. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well-organized and thoughtfully planned. We spent 6 days on safari across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, followed by 3 relaxing days in Zanzibar, and every moment exceeded our expectations.


African Big Cats stood out for how customizable the itinerary was. They worked with us to tailor every detail to our preferences and honeymoon vision. The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located, with staff who went above and beyond to make us feel special.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to African Big Cats and Kareem for making it unforgettable. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania!

Thanks for an amazing safari experience!
5/5

My husband and I had the most incredible private safari experience during our holiday to Tanzania in July. Having previously done a safari in South Africa, this was our first time in Tanzania, and it exceeded all our expectations.

We booked our trip with African Big Cats Safaris, and their team was exceptional. They always responded promptly and provided excellent suggestions for lodges and other details.

The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the safari itself. Erick, our guide, was very knowledgeable and showed us more animals than we could have ever dreamed of. His trained eyes spotted animals from afar, and he managed to get us close while being respectful of their habitat. Seeing leopards, cheetahs, lions, hippos, elephants, and many other animals was truly awe-inspiring. We visited both the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. While both were amazing, if you can only visit one, I highly recommend the Serengeti.

During our safari, we stayed at Kubukubu, where the staff were incredibly friendly, and our lodge was very comfortable. We also stayed at Lake Masek Tented Lodge, which was my husband's favorite due to its authentic tent-like experience. Seeing a hippo walking in the garden while we enjoyed a pre-dinner drink was pretty cool too. We ended our safari at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja, which was luxurious and simply stunning, with breathtaking views from our bungalow.

We combined our safari with a beach holiday in Zanzibar, which was lovely, but the safari was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip.

I highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris if you are planning a trip to Tanzania. Be sure to ask for Erick as your guide and driver!

10/10, a fun and safe trip of a lifetime!
5/5

We went on an 11 day safari and beach combination trip, which exceeded our expectations! We were a bit nervous to go somewhere so unfamiliar as two women, but the communication and flexibility beforehand with Emmanuel and Naomi was easy and fast and made us comfortable enough to book. They helped us adjust the itinerary to include an extra night upon arrival to adjust, as well as change one of the beach days to an additional safari day, since we were most interested in Serengeti and adding the balloon safari (which is incredible and totally worth it!!!). Only note we would add, is if you go to bring small bills (singles) to tip the people at each stay who handle your luggage for you. Otherwise, we were extremely prepared for each situation we were in!
The accommodations were above and beyond, I kept thinking we booked the luxury when we booked the comfort! Each stay was welcoming, beautiful, and extremely comfortable. The food was incredible, and all the lunches packed to eat on a picnic were amazing and more than enough.
Our guide, Dominik, was fantastic! Very nice and accommodating, knowledgable about each place we went to and each animal we saw, and shared a lot of information which was great. He drove safely, while still managing to find tons of animals to see. We saw the big 5, including watching a leopard climb down a tree and walk around from just a few feet away! I was most excited to see a rhino, and when we did see one, he made sure I had plenty of time to look at it and enjoy the moment. He always made sure we were comfortable and ate enough at every meal.
The Zanzibar portion of our trip was very relaxing. We weren't the biggest fans of Stone Town, but loved the Jozani Forest and the Z Hotel (to each their own!). The staff was kind and easy to communicate with, and the massages at the hotel were phenomenal.
Overall, this experience was better than we could have imagined, and we will be recommending it to everyone we know!

We received several offers from different companies for our Safari tour. After reviewing the offers, we found the 9-Day Honeymoon Safari package from African Big Cats and thought it would be perfect for our 25th wedding anniversary celebration. Knowing nothing about the company, we first reviewed their information, then looked at their reviews. They received good reviews everywhere we saw, so we decided to go with them.
African Big Cats walked us through this entire process with care. They required an initial deposit, and the balance was due three weeks before arrival - I appreciated that. Naomi was patient, dedicated, responsive, and attentive to every detail. She arranged our flight to and from Zanzibar. She even took care to recommend a day hotel to rest before our flight home. This recommendation was the respite we didn’t know we needed, but she did. We were able to get some rest, shower, and eat a meal before heading to the airport for the 25-hour flight home.
In addition, it was great to have Emmanuel meet us before the journey began to check on us and discuss our Safari trip. Our guide, Venance, was very informative, answering questions, providing context, and information regarding people, places, and things. He is well-versed in the ecosystem and animals in each park. The lunches for each day were good, and every lodge chosen in the package was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. We were in awe with each one having its unique design and architecture. Each lodge celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and each time was special, a memory to never forget.
Our beach journey was great too. Our car service was with Simba Tour, and again, they took care of us. The Z Hotel was beautiful.
If you want to feel safe, secure, and loved, then choose African Big Cats for your Safari journey – we are so glad that we did!

5/5

Our experience was superb. My wife and I traveled to Tanzania for our honeymoon and African Big Cat Safari took care of everything for us. Our guide, Vinasce, was very polite and easy to talk to. He was very knowledgeable and put a lot of extra attention into making sure the experience met our expectations which he definitely exceeded.
