Fantastic company for Kilimanjaro trek
5/5

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!!!
5/5

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!

Wonderful Experience!
5/5

We had a great experience with Africa Big Cats Safaris. Everything was well organized, clear, and smooth from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and very attentive.
A special thank you to our guide, Mr. Venance, who was excellent. He was knowledgeable, patient, and always respectful of our preferences. He worked very hard to find the animals we wanted to see, and we were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals during our safari.
We were very satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely recommend Africa Big Cats Safaris!

Experienced guides, strong communication and planning!
5/5

We were very pleased with our experience with African Big Cats! We just completed our six day safari taking us from Arusha to the northern Serengeti and were blown away by every aspect. In particular, our guide Martin was patient, thoroughly knowledgeable, experienced, and a careful driver. Martin is the perfect ambassador for Tanzania - welcoming, kind and generous. Prior to our tour, the planning and communication from Salim and Naomi was prompt and extremely helpful. The lodges the team at African Big Cats recommended were exceptional as well! We would highly recommend African Big Cats to anyone considering a safari in beautiful Tanzania, you will not be disappointed.

Dream vacation!
5/5

The company initially piqued my curiosity, partly because of the price; I had no references, but after talking to Naomi, she quickly reassured me. It ended up being a great choice, and I have nothing but praise for it.
