Absolutely perfect. No complaint whatsoever
We had a wonderful trip. The safari itself, the lodges, the food and most importantly the people were amazing, kind, friendly and always helpful.
Our guide was well versed in everything about the culture, the places and of course the animals which he was able to spot from very great distances. He was also very patient as I am an older person and took the best care of all our needs. He brought along delicious hot lunches which were so much better than the boxed ones we got on previous trips. I am very grateful for the entire experience.

Unforgettable Experience with African Big Cats
Unforgettable Safari with African Big Cats – a dream come true!
Our safari with African Big Cats gave us unforgettable moments we will cherish forever. Everything we had hoped for was fulfilled – and even exceeded. The lodges were stunning, the organization was flawless, and our driver Gabi was absolutely fantastic: knowledgeable, kind, and always made us feel safe and well taken care of. Every detail was thought through, and every day brought new highlights. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Beyond all expectations!
Truly the trip of a lifetime!!! From start to finish, the team made us feel completely cared for — warm, professional, and deeply knowledgeable. The owner even met us at both the start and end of our journey to make sure everything went smoothly.
We saw the Big Five and so much more — every game drive felt like a new adventure! Our guide was amazing at spotting animals and always made sure we got the perfect view (and photo!). He also shared stories and cultural insights that really brought everything to life.
The accommodations were stunning — right in the middle of nature yet incredibly comfortable. Falling asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti and waking up to its sunrise was pure magic.
We can’t recommend this company enough. Every moment was unforgettable, and we’ll treasure this experience forever! Thank you again :)

Excellent value, amazing tour guide
We arrived and were introduced to our guide Vincent. He was incredible and it was a pleasure to spend the week sharing this experience with him.
His knowledge and passion for Tanzanian wildlife, nature and culture was evident and it helped ensure we had the most memorable and unique holiday of our lives so far.
All of the accommodation we stayed in provided their own unique features, from traditional African huts (with a modern upgrade inside), to hearing lions outside of our lodge in the Serengeti.
Food was provided throughout the tour at the lodges and during our game drives.
Our first hint of what was to come happened within 5 minutes of entering our first national park, the Tarangire, as Vincent pointed out two lionesses at a nearby tree. From there we saw an abundance of wildlife throughout the day.
The Serengeti was the highlight, we saw Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Elephants - you name it. The only thing we didn’t catch during our travels there was the Black Rhino (but thanks to Vincent we did get to spot this later in the Ngorongoro crater).
Would recommend African Big Cats Safaris and particularly our tour guide Vincent to anybody travelling to Tanzania. It’s a once of a lifetime holiday that you’ll never forget.

Perfect family safari
We went on a safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro with our 7- and 3-year-old children; it was perfect.
Starting with Emmanuel, who was attentive to us from the very beginning, and continuing with our guide and driver. Evance and Michael were very friendly and polite throughout the entire safari. They were attentive to our needs, making our safari perfect.

This safari exceeded my expectations in every way possible - guide, accommodations, food, animals
This was my first trip to Africa. Our amazing safari included 4 parks - each one unique but all beautiful with LOTS of animal sightings. Our driver/guide Rick was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, wonderful to travel with. I will ask for him if I ever get back, and I've already recommended him to friends.
I feel I got more than "bang for the buck" that the trip cost.
Honestly I wouldn't change a thing.

Great experience, everything was amazing
We, a group of 4 people enjoyed a lot our 6 days safari! Two of us are extremely experienced travelers and visited more than 25 countries, but Tanzania just stole our hearts! We are very thankful for our great guide Gabriel and for the owner of the agency Emmanuel for organizing and keeping us safe and entertained every day. We saw all animals we wanted to see and in general had a lot of fun! Recommend this company to everyone!
A beautiful experience connecting with mother earth!!
Our safari was exceptional (4 nights- 5 days)!! Rick was our guide- he made our time the absolute best and taught us so much about the diversity in the 4 parks and animals! LOVE RICK (Asante sana rafiki)!! We saw almost every animal you could think of and at the end of the day had time to decompress and hang out at the amazing accomodations that were lined up for us while eating some delicious food. Highlight of the trip was staying in the middle of the Serengeti and hearing the baboons at night! The whole experience was beautiful and felt unreal (I had to keep pinching myself that there was a casual elephant or zebra in front of me). Can't wait to come back in the future :)

Amazing safari experience!
Our safari with African Big Cats was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning to the end, everything was perfectly arranged, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience. We loved the lodges that were booked for us, with the Embalakai camps in the Serengeti being a real highlight for us. We were incredibly lucky to see so many animals during our game drives, including all of the big cats! Our guide, Claus, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible sightings and experience.
We highly recommend booking with African Big Cats. They created a tailor-made itinerary for us via email, fully aligned with our wishes and budget. Thank you again to Claus and the entire team for making this such a memorable adventure!

Great Value
Incredible experience on our 5 day/4 night Comfort safari with Khalid as our guide. We saw so much!! All of the accommodations were perfectly comfortable, with great food and service. The value of this safari is great- private safari with the same guide/driver, long game drive days, and comfortable accommodation. Our guide went above and beyond to find us the Big 5 with tons of lion sightings and an awesome leopard interaction. We always considered our needs. The company made us feel special on our honeymoon. An adventure yet relaxing way to spend our honeymoon.
