Best Safari experience!
We had the most wonderful honeymoon with African Big Cats! From our initial email communications, Joshua was really helpful and patient with us getting started and confirming our dates and setting the itinerary. Naomi was so helpful in organising the trip, answered all our questions and made sure everything was sorted for us. The company is so professional and takes so much pride in what they do. Emmanuel, the owner, took a close and personal interest in the trip to discuss feedback and check we were happy with everything. The entire trip was so well taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything.
Our game drives were absolutely incredible and the whole trip far exceeded our expectations!! Our guide, Claus, was excellent! He was so patient with us taking so many photos and made every effort for us to see so many animals including the big 7! He drove so well and whilst we saw some animals really close up, he is really respectful of the animals. We enjoyed our time so much with him, we learned Swahili and just had such a good time that it felt difficult to leave! We loved Tanzania and the people are wonderful – if you are thinking about going on Safari, this company is excellent and I would highly recommend them!!
Amazing Honeymoon Safari experience
To the team at African Big Cats, my wife and I are truly grateful for the amazing honeymoon that you arranged for us. Every step of the way from planning through to delivery has been smooth and stress free. You made us feel safe and welcome and the entire experience was truly amazing and surpassed our expectations. Your attention to detail and professionalism meant that we could focus on the honeymoon and enjoy every moment without worrying about anything. We felt incredibly safe on Safari with Claus, his driving along the bumpy roads was incredible and his ability to spot wild animals while doing so is extraordinary!!
Thank you for an unforgettable experience Asante Sana!

Fantastic company for Kilimanjaro trek
e chose African Big Cats Safaris and Treks for our 8-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, and we could not have asked for a better experience.
The company was founded more than 10 years ago by Emmanuel, who started as a porter and later became a guide. His experience is clearly reflected in the way the entire trek is organized and managed.
From the very beginning, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Salim managed the reservation process, Naomi coordinated the detailed logistics and planning, and once we started the trek, we were in the excellent hands of our guides, Imran and Iddi. Imran has climbed Kilimanjaro more than 200 times, while Iddi has done it more than 50 times — and their experience was invaluable.
We are both 60 years old and successfully reached the summit without suffering, thanks in large part to the careful pace, encouragement and support of our guides. Imran quickly understood that we were physically fit enough to summit, but that I needed some extra mental support along the way. His positive and reassuring approach made a tremendous difference and completely removed any anxiety I had about reaching the top.
The whole team deserves recognition. Teushi, our cook, prepared three delicious, hot meals every day, as well as excellent snacks. He is a professional cook and also an educator at a college in Arusha, and his meals were a real highlight after each day of hiking. Samsun was our caring “waiter,” attended to any of our requests and making sure we had warm bottles for our sleeping bags every night. We also had 10 porters, including Marcosios, who was responsible for our private toilet.
A private toilet is definitely something we recommend. The public toilets along the trek are, to put it mildly, not particularly appealing! The good news is that the private toilet was automatically included in our reservation, so we didn’t have to arrange anything separately.
We also needed warm mountain clothing, as Kilimanjaro can be extremely cold, even in September. Imran provided everything we needed, again making the experience completely hassle-free.
Beyond the personal achievement of reaching the summit, these eight days gave us a much deeper understanding of the Arusha community and how dependent many local families are on tourism. Choosing a reliable, experienced and genuinely local tour operator makes a real difference — not only to the quality of the trek, but also to the livelihoods of the many people and families involved.
A huge thank you to Imran, Iddi, Teushi, Samsun, Marcosios, Emmanuel, Salim, Naomi and the entire team for an unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience. We strongly recommend African Big Cats Safaris and Treks to organize your private trek to Kilimanjaro.

African Big Cat Safari could not have been better. The staff and service are outstanding!!!
From the planning to the trip execution, this tour company was wonderful! the accommodations and food, outstanding. However, what made the trip unforgettable for us was our driver Endeni. We were there for photos and he knew exactly the right spots, the right lighting and found every single animal on our list. We got the big five, and much much more. I highly recommend this company. If you're on the fence about taking this trip, go ahead and jump off and book it!!!! I have been around the world and back again, this trip has been the highlight for me, even better then Everest!
