Wonderful Experience!
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!
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!
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.

Highly recommend Big Cats for your safari
Our safari was in early August. From start to finish it exceeded every expectation we had.
The wildlife sightings alone made this trip unforgettable — we lost count of the number of species we encountered, from big cats to herds of elephants, and the migration of the wildebeest in the northern Serengeti. Every day brought something new.
Our guide, Venance, made the entire experience. His patience, warmth, and deep knowledge of the animals turned every game drive into a learning experience.
The lodges were another highlight — comfortable, well-run, and staffed by extremely friendly people. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal.
If you're considering a safari, I can't recommend African Big Cats Safari highly enough. Between the seamless organization, the incredible animal encounters, and Venance's outstanding guiding, this was a trip to remember.

African Big Cats Excellent Safari
African Big Cats Safaris provided a great experience from answering questions before the trip to every part of the safari itself. The itinerary was excellent. We saw all of the animals possible including 5 Mara River crossings. Omega Victor our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, spotted animals we did not see ourselves. He was an excellent guide. The accommodations were excellent with very friendly staff. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Very professional and reliable! The best operator there is. I’ve made the right choice!
African Big Cats Safari is the best tour operator there is. They are local so they know the ins and outs of Tanzania. They catered to everything wanted and they hand down handled it perfectly. Communication from beginning to end is amazing considering the 7hrs time difference. Being this is our first African trip, I was anxious and a bit all over the place. I told them what I need and wanted, they delivered. As per the staff, if I could give them a million stars, I would. They go above and beyond. They are very kind and helpful. Said who stayed with us in Arusha and Serval was very helpful and patient. Our guides Thomas and Obedi were the best of the bests. Thomas has the eyes of a hawk. He spots everything. Both are knowledgeable. We asked plenty of questions and they answered every single one. All the things we wished to see, we saw— lions, elephants, leopard on the tree, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos opening their mouths, and so much more. Call it luck but I think we are lucky we got the best guides. Lodges were top notch and food is amazing. I highly recommend African Big Cats Safari!
He was amazing, intelligent, and fun!
This tour was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. Festo our guide was amazing. He made us feel comfortable, safe, and had made sure to tailor our safari to our goals and dreams. He was incredibly informed and we were so impressed. All of our lodgings were very nice, clean, and had everything we needed. We really felt spoiled in every sense! Highly recommend this tour for a once in a lifetime experience.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience! Martin was incredible and the team planned an unforgettable
We had an incredible safari with our family of five and would highly recommend this company and, especially, our guide Martin.
The wildlife was amazing, particularly getting so close to elephants. Staying inside the parks was another highlight—we could hear lions calling at night, with some only about a quarter mile away!
The hospitality at the lodges was fantastic, including the warm welcomes and singing when we arrived. Martin took care of everything, including lunches on game-drive days, and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our kids.
Our 5-year-old became so attached to Martin that by the end of the trip, he genuinely felt like part of our family. We’ve already recommended Martin and this company to a close friend and would gladly recommend them to any family planning a safari.
