A lifetime experience
We had a multigenerational Safari with 2x >70 years of age, 2x around 40 years of age and two kids 9&12 years.
Our guide Obedi was great and soon realized, that we are also very interested in birds. So apart from the big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) the elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, antilopes, etc., he also explained and found lots of wonderful birds for us. He drove very carefully and safe and did everything to fulfill all our wishes. The car was good and we didn’t experience a single problem. When he went to the petrol station in Serengeti on the third day, he left us at the visitors center and organized a great guide which showed us around.
We chose Big cats Safari because my sister and her family traveled with them last year and were extremely satisfied, and we were not disappointed a single minute of the trip.
We would definitely choose Big Cats Safari and Obedi again

Our Tanzania Safari with African Big Cats was awesome!
We had an amazing 8day/7night luxury Tanzania Safari thanks to African Big Cats.
Our initial inquiry with the company was promptly and professionally answered by William Frank who diligently collaborated with us adjusting our itinerary until we settled on one that included everything we wanted. Our file was then handed over to Naomi who continued with excellent communication answering all our queries up until our departure.
Upon our arrival at JRO we were met by Samuel our driver and guide. Samuel was an excellent driver throughout our Safari. His ability to spot the animals while manoeuvring the roads was amazing. We were able to see all that we imagined and more, including seeing the wildebeests crossing the river. Who could have ever imagined seeing lions, elephants, giraffe, and zebras within feet of the jeep. Samuel always gave us plenty of time to sit and watch the animals and was willing to stop whenever we wanted him to. We owe Samuel a huge thank-you for making our Safari experience more than we expected and something we won’t forget.
The luxury tented camps were all exceptionally clean and comfortable with very courteous and welcoming staff. The Serengeti River Camp in the North Serengeti stood out above the rest including the outstanding chef who provided us with some delicious meals.
Asanti-Sana to African Big Cats for a job well done and leaving us with many wonderful memories.

A great experience with Claus
My friend and I had a wonderful experience! Everything was nice and clear starting from email communications to the end of trip. The staffs are very professional and helpful. All the acommadations recommended are comfortable and clean. Our guide Claus is dedicated and friendly, he tried his best to make sure we see as much animals as possible, we truely appreciate his effort! Overall, it was a great experience. I would recommend African Big Cats Safaris to friends and family.

Excellent service and unforgettable wildlife encounters
I first got in touch with Big Cat through BookingSafari back in February. At the time, I was speaking with a few different local operators and had some good conversations with other sales reps too. But overall, Joshua from Big Cat gave me the best impression. He was always patient and responsive, and very reliable whenever we had questions or special requests.
We already had a few camps and a rough route in mind, so the communication was smooth and efficient. Once we got the final quotes and confirmed the camps we wanted, we decided to go with Big Cat right away. Then came a long wait of almost six months before our actual trip at the end of September.
On our first night, we were welcomed by the manager who carefully went over all the key information with us. He was friendly and very detailed, which made us feel well taken care of. The next morning, we took a small domestic flight to the northern Serengeti, where our guide Lovio was already waiting for us. He led us through an amazing Safari journey. On the very first day, we were lucky enough to witness two river crossings by wildebeests. Over the next few days, we managed to see almost all the animals we hoped for, except the black rhino which was a bit too far away.
Lovio’s vehicle did break down twice during the trip. The first time, it caused some delays, but after the car was fixed, he really gave his best effort to help us spot more wildlife. The second time it happened was on the way to Ngorongoro Crater. Honestly, I guess we were just too lucky in our own way, since not everyone gets this kind of “experience,” right?
On the last afternoon, while we were heading back to Arusha, I suddenly came down with acute food poisoning. Lovio was incredibly helpful and brought us to two hospitals to make sure I got the treatment I needed. Luckily, my condition was under control by that night, and I was able to catch my international flight the next day without issues.
I’m truly grateful to Big Cat and especially to our guide Lovio. This trip gave us unforgettable memories. I hope the next time I visit Tanzania for another Safari, I’ll have the chance to meet them again.

Trip of a lifetime thanks to African Big Cats
We were very impressed with African Big Cats Safaris! We organised a 14 day combined trip of safari and a beach stay in Zanzibar. There was very good communication for the organisation of our trip and the booking process went smoothly thanks to Salim and Naomi. We appreciated the personal touch of Emmanuel meeting us before we started the trip.
We had never been to Tanzania before and the safari was an incredible experience. This was hugely due to our amazing guide, Charles. He collected us from Arusha airport and was so knowledgeable and informative, but very humble and friendly - we immediately felt at ease with him. We were blown away by the different animals we saw and enjoyed learning about them from Charles. We appreciated that he was so patient and we were able to stay and watch the animals longer, whilst other vehicles sped off as we really got to see how the animals behaved in their natural habitat!
The Moonbow lodge and Embalaki camp we stayed in on safari were both of high quality with very good food. The amazing staff at these accommodations really go out of their way to make you feel welcome!
Our stay in Zanzibar at the Z hotel was equally amazing. The hotel is lovely, with excellent facilities and is right by Nungwi beach which is stunning.
We really recommend African Big Cats as a company and would use them again given their professionalism in the organisation of our incredible and unforgettable experience!
