Fantastic company.
5/5

Our 5 day 4 night comfort safari was fantastic.
The accomodation every night was beautiful. Some of the best we stayed in in Tanzania.
Our guide was Friendly, and very knowlegable. He made sure we saw everything possible and were looked after.
I would definitely recomend this tour with Africa Big Catd Safari

An agency that knew how to perfectly understand our desires and make us live an unforgettable moment
5/5

We had called on almost 10 travel agencies for our 12-day honeymoon in Tanzania-Zanzibar, French agencies and African agencies.
Initially, I preferred French agencies because I thought I had more security. But African Big Cats was able to meet our expectations perfectly, with Justice first, which was very patient in adapting to the many changes in the implementation of the program.
We then had a great time with Valence, our French-speaking guide who followed us from our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport to that of Arusha for our departure to Zanzibar. We had the pleasure of meeting Emanuel, the boss, who came to meet us at Arusha airport, and we felt all the seriousness and sympathy of this agency.
There is of course the safari, but we also remember the encounters with the tribes. We thought we were on the show "Rdv en terre unknown"; the magnificent landscapes, the very large and comfortable lodges, and then our dream hotel at Zuri de Nungwi in Zanzibar.
I'm not used to posting a review, but the quality of our trip pushes me to write this totally positive comment. Thank you African Big Cat Safaris!

Best option for a comfort safari
5/5

The best option to do a Safari in Tanzania. Compared to other agencies we saw, we had the best car, very charming hotels (especially Eileen's in Karatu) and the food was spectacular. The price is very tight and the 5 days / 4 nights itinerary could not be more complete.

We were assigned a guide who spoke very good Spanish (no need to ask) and who took us excellently throughout the trip.

Courtesy details were not lacking either (wine during meals, hot food inside the parks and private car at no additional cost).

Special mention to Justine, Emmanuel and Endene who made it a magical trip. Without a doubt, we would repeat.

Super recommended! Many thanks!!

5/5

It was the best adventure we ever had in life. We are speechles. We want to say thank you to the stuff of African Big Vats Safaris. They took care of all our needs and wishes! Thank you Emmanuel ( The Manager) and Ndeny (our guide)!!! We couldn imagine a better tour company! For us it was also important that we choose a 100% local company. We were on a private safari and we would recommend that to everyone. We could write hundred of more words but to keep it short: all of our friends want to go now on safari and we only allow them to go with african big cats safaris! THANK YOU!

Unique experience!!
5/5

Unique experience! African Big cats safari team has a great communication and management. Since the start they took care on meeting our expectations and make our safari a unique experience. Big thanks to Emmanuel!! We booked the "5 days safari - confortable", and the lodges were very good, clean and confortable, and the food was great. I would like to specially thanks our guide Endeni, he is a very experienced guide with a very deep knowledge and respect of wild life, nature, ecosystems and environment. He shared lots of interesting insights and made sure that we see all the animals very close and in the most special places, including the big 5, ensuring that animals weren't disturbed. He is very polite, nice and shared with us lots of insights about Tanzania's culture, which was really interesting to get to know better the country. On the last day he accompanied us on a tour around Arusha and local food place which was excelent.
We had the best time ever!
Fully reccomend this safari team!!
Thanks so much Emmanuel and Endeni!!

Great Experience, very well organized - totally recommended
5/5

We booked a 5-day safari with African Big Cats. We started in Arusha. The first lodge was great. The food was super tasty and the service staff was always eager and helpful. Emmanuel came the night before the safari to explain the itinerary and answer all our questions. The next morning we were picked up at the agreed time. We had a fantastic day in Tarangire Park. We were able to see many elephants and even a leopard. The next day we went to Ngorogoro. There are also many animals and beautiful viewpoints. The camp in the Serengeti was another highlight. Our driver Lordi was always ready to answer all questions and fulfill every wish. More than expected. We were completely satisfied with the organization prior, during and after the trip. The accommodations are very clean and well maintained. The food could not have been better. During the day we were served with super tasty lunch boxes and water/drinks.

Traveling with a man who knows his country, its history and nature, and will joke around a lot!
5/5

When we booked with ABCS, we had no idea what to expect. But let me assure you: this locally organized and operated company (which was important to us, no foreign investor middle-man) will make you feel very special and give you a tour you won’t forget!
We traveled for almost 5 days with Endeni, who knows everything there is to know about Tanzania, nature and the wildlife. He’ll take care of you when you need to mark your territory in the wild and the African road massages were the best ! (You’ll get it once you’ve been there ;) ). We also talked a lot about life and family as it works in our country (Switzerland) and Tanzania. Very interesting exchange with a good new friend! Also, Endeni and the other guides are in constant contact to each other in order to find the best spots with the rarest animals all the time on your safari. You’ll be in great hands and are up for the best possible experience.
The company is very reliable, answers quickly and the money transfer worked out perfectly. The accommodations are all clean, the food is very good and whenever there are potential dangers (animals) near your sleeping site you’ll be accompanied by Massais to your room. You’ll be safe all day long.
All in all: highly recommend!

Perfect
5/5

We highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris. Our trip was super last minute (we booked few days before flying to Tanzania) but Justice was very responsive and adapted the program as per our requests.

Our guide, Emmanuel spoke fluent French and several other languages. He was very knowledgeable, he taught us not only about the animals but also about the history of the country, the politic, the culture. We learned a lot. He was always in a good mood, even when we were late in the morning (meaning, everyday).

The safaris was very well organized, everything went very smoothly, the hotels were all amazing and the food was good!

We loved our trip with African Big Cats. It is one of the most beautiful trip we've done, if not the most beautiful one. Our only regret is that we were not well equipped for the photography. We should have rented a huge zoom to be able to take amazing pictures of all the animals we saw.
