Amazing 5 day fly-in drive out safari with African Big Cats.
Amazing 5 day fly-in drive out safari with African Big Cats. (Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara).
Our guide, Omega was first rate. Spotted cheetah and leopard seemingly out of nowhere, got us in prime viewing positions without being at all pushy but rather by anticipating wildlife behaviour, and was widely knowledgeable about all animals and birds. Also very friendly with us and other guides, even pulling a couple of other jeeps out of the mud during the rains!
The lodges were all very good - excellent in fact. Arrangements, pick-ups etc exactly on time and as arranged. Naomi & Emmanuel from the office were efficient and organised - they helped us with advice and booking an extended stay when our flights back through Doha were cancelled.
Would definitely recommend African Big Cats

Knowledgeable tour operator that coordinated our whole trip.
Our six day safari with African Big Cats Safaris went beyond our expectations. We had an amazing guide Ally. He was very knowledgeable about all the birds and animals and their habitat. I don’t think there was a question he couldn’t answer. Every day was better than the last. We didn’t think we’d see cheetahs or leopards but Ally found them. He found a baby elephant that was only weeks old, four endangered black rhinos and African blue monkeys. We saw seven lion cubs playing and an adult male and female fighting. We saw “The Big 5” and numerous other birds and animals. It was all pretty awesome. If you’re even considering a safari contact African Big Cats. They made all of our arrangements which also included a hike to Mt Kilimanjaro and a trip to Zanzibar.

Festo was the ABSOLUTE BEST tour guide we could ever for!!
Festo was the ABSOLUTE BEST tour guide we could ever for!! He was knowledgeable, patient, and did everything he could to make us have the most memorable experience yet! This company went above and beyond to schedule just what we wanted, listened to our interests, and planed everything around that. They have amazing communication and responsiveness and made us feel very well taken care of. The value is amazing and we feel like it was the best money spent.

Perfect safari
"I felt in good hands with African Big Cats Safari from the start. They were very attentive to my needs, and our guide, Lavoy, was amazing throughout the entire trip. He was so knowledgeable and sharp at spotting animals—we saw more than I ever expected! Even though this was our third safari, it was easily the best one yet. We did a 5-night mid-range tour with two nights camping in the Serengeti, which was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended by the whole family!

A 2-Day Last-Minute Decision That Led to an Unforgettable Calving Season Trip in Tanzania!
Booked with Big Cat Safaris in just 2 days. Salesman William Frank was incredibly helpful and responsive. Guide Omega made the trip perfect. He drove very steadily on bumpy roads for 6 days, showing us the calving season in Serengeti and black rhinos in Ngorongoro. When the vehicle broke down on the last day, he fixed it quickly. Highly recommend! Asante Sana!

A special combination of animals and culture
We chose African Big Cats because of the special combination of animals and culture, and they didn’t let us down! The safaris were wonderful and, as it says on the can, we saw lions, leopards and cheetahs, the latter in front of us trying to drag their reedbuck kill up a bank. But the day at Eyasi was just as great, going hunting with the Hadzabe tribe and visiting their local blacksmith to see an arrowhead made from a nail. Likewise our stay with the Maasai, joining in their dances. But what made our time really successful was our guide, Elias, who was a fount of knowledge, particularly the birds I was fascinated by. One last thing - that as a vegetarian I was well catered for. We came back exhausted and exhilarated, exactly as hoped for.

5 star company. Our guides Festo and Endie were excellent as well as everyone we dealt with!
All camps that were booked through African big cats were excellent and comfortable with great food. We saw all the big game we wanted and more. I really can’t say enough about what a great experience it was.

Simply amazing
Simply amazing. We had the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn't have been happier to chose African Big Cats Safaris to guide us. They were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and very skilled at showing us all of the wonders of their country. The fact they are local was just icing on the cake.

High praise for African Big Cats Safaris
Sitting at home during a blizzard in Massachusetts today cozy with the wonderful memories of our safari in late January 2026. I was so excited for the trip but the reality exceeded my dreams and expectations. It was important to me to book with a local safari company for their benefit, and to avail of their knowledge and expertise. After lots of research and emails with several companies I found on Safaribookings.com, I chose African Big Cats Safaris for their professionalism and flexibility. Together we curated an itinerary that exactly matched our budget, accommodation wishes and wildlife goals. However, the key to the most rewarding safari is the guide, and ABCS did not disappoint when they assigned Obedi to us. He was fun, professional, kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver who was determined that we would have the best possible safari experience, with great memories to recount. It was a wonderful trip!
