An unforgettable first safari — professional yet full of joy
5/5

We went with my cousin on a 5-day safari starting from Arusha, and from the very beginning, we felt safe and truly welcomed by African Big Cats Safaris — especially thanks to our guide, Dominick. Thanks to them, we didn’t just get to see the incredible landscapes and wildlife of Tanzania, but also got a glimpse into the local culture and daily life.

The vehicle they provided was always in excellent condition, the accommodations and meals offered great value for money, and communication throughout the trip was clear and transparent. One thing we really appreciated was that the company never tried to upsell us. On the contrary, they seemed genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience, even offering some complementary services and advising us against certain activities given the season we visited.

As for the safari itself, we managed to spot 4 of the famous Big 5 — leopards were a bit shy this time, but we were lucky enough to see some stunning cheetahs instead ;) We took amazing photos and learned a lot about animal behavior and the different species along the way. Dominick, with his 9+ years of experience, had a great eye for spotting wildlife and picking up small details from far away, all while making sure we stayed safe. He also shared plenty of interesting facts about nature and the Maasai traditions, which made the trip even more special.

Great communication, excellent recommendations, and a wonderful overall experience
5/5

We had a tremendous time on our Safari to Tanzania followed by relaxing beach time in Zanzibar before heading back home. Planning the trip with African Big Cats Safaris was very easy with excellent communication with Naomi. She listened to all of our specific requests and even reached out to our different accommodations to make them aware of any celebrations we may be having. Our Safari guide, Venance, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the cultural history, and the plant life. It made our experience so much richer by learning from him. He was kind and respectful throughout the trip. He ensured we saw the big 5 during our safari and paid extra care to allow us time to see our favourite animals. Venance also made wonderful suggestions to add onto our experience, such as visiting a Massai tribal community, and made recommendations on where we could purchase things from local shops. All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime and we would be happy to return and work with African Big Cats Safari's again.

Excellence at Every Turn.
5/5

From the early planning stage to our final day on safari, the team at African Big Cats Safari provided the highest standard of service. It was very important to us to work with a tour company with its roots in Tanzania. It was clear that they genuinely cared about creating a memorable and enjoyable trip for us. We felt safe, supported, and well taken care of throughout our stay.
A special recognition of our driver, Monzi, who shared so much valuable knowledge about the history, culture, and wildlife of the area. He was always in the right place at the right time for us to view all that we hoped to see on a journey like this.
It was an adventure that we will never forget. Thank you!

Elias was a top-notch, professional, and incredibly experienced guide

My wife and I just returned from an unforgettable 11-day safari in Tanzania with African Big Cats Safari, and we can confidently say this was the trip of a lifetime! From start to finish, every aspect of our experience exceeded our expectations, and we can’t recommend this company highly enough. From our very first inquiry, the team at African Big Cats Safari was incredibly responsive and helpful, tailoring our itinerary to match our interests and ensuring every detail was taken care of. The booking process was smooth, and all our questions were answered promptly.

Our guide (Elias) was knowledgeable, passionate, and truly made the difference in our experience. He had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife and shared fascinating insights about the animals, landscapes, and local culture. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. We saw the Big Five and so much more— Our guide knew the best spots and times to maximize our sightings, often away from the crowds. Every lodge and camp we stayed at was thoughtfully chosen, offering comfort, excellent service, and stunning views.

If you’re looking for a safari company that combines professionalism, expertise, and a genuine passion for Tanzania’s wildlife and culture, look no further. Our journey was seamless, safe, and filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We left with incredible memories, beautiful photos, and a deep appreciation for this amazing country.

A Journey of a Lifetime with African Big Cats Safaris!
5/5

Our recent safari adventure with African Big Cats Safaris in Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized, safe, and tailored to our preferences — a huge thanks to Mr. Emanuel Kavishe, the Managing Director, for ensuring every detail was taken care of beyond our expectations.

We explored the breathtaking landscapes of Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Each park had its own magic, and the memories we made will stay with us forever.

A special shoutout to our wonderful guide, Mr. Lovoi, whose sharp eyes and deep knowledge made every game drive thrilling. Spotting our first two lionesses perched gracefully on a tree branch in Tarangire was unforgettable. The Serengeti stunned us with the Great Migration of wildebeest, and we were lucky to witness majestic leopards, cheetahs, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and countless other incredible animals in their natural habitat.

Our time in Ngorongoro Crater was capped with a truly exhilarating moment — we were the first vehicle to spot the elusive Black Rhino that morning, and the excitement as other vehicles rushed to join the sighting was electrifying!

Beyond the wildlife, the accommodations, food, and hospitality were excellent at every stop. We felt safe, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout the journey.

I wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic and unforgettable African safari. They truly deliver an experience that exceeds expectations in every way.

Asante sana to Emanuel, Lovoi, and the entire team for making this trip one of the best adventures of our lives!
