Big Migration North Serengeti and 3 other parks
We had amazing time on a private safari for two. I would strongly recommend to choose private tour in a case you' like to take some nice photos and videos. Furthermore comfort and luxury level accommodation gives you some further convenience.

Amazing experience!
During COVID times, starting to plan a trip like this it's complicated, but African Big Cats Safaris (ABCS) were very helpful, and even with short planning time they gave us a great deal. They were fast replying to all our concerns and they help us with every detail of the trip.
The experience was unique and outstanding. Our guide, his name is Endeni, did a GREAT effort to give us an amazing experience. Day after day he was respectful but also close to us, telling us interesting tips about wildlife and also about Tanzania. He has a great instinct, thanks to him we had great views of some animals. He was one member of our group and we will always remember this trip with him.
ABCS is a company that takes charge of everything, leaving to us the easy part, enjoy the trip! They took care of good accommodations and meals. They picked us up at the airport and the first day gave us all the important information for the following days, they are a close-to-customer company and they help us with a lot of things.
I want to also acknowledge Emmanuel (person in charge) and Justice (customer support).

Great safari with a great guide !
We had a lot of questions before booking the safari and Justice, from Big Cats safari, was really patient and answered all our questions very quickly. Then, we did the safari with Lodi, a great french speaking safari, who knows everything about animals. We had so much fun and emotions ! The hotels were great, the food was nice (even for a vegetarian), and the price was really reasonable. We would definitely come back to do another safari with Big Cats safaris ! Thanks to the team !

Best experience ever
It was a wonderful way to discover the wild side of Tanzania! The prize totally deserves the experience. The guide, Endeni, explained us all about the different animals with his amazing knowledge about it in a perfect Spanish. Also before travelling we had a really good service coming from Justice and Emanuelle.
The hotels selected where really nice and also the food there. One of the places where we slept was in the middle of the Serengueti!
Cool spots, drinks and friends. Totally recommended. Best plan ever!

Magnificent experience
I chose African Big Cats Safaris after speaking with other 6 Companies on safaribookings. First of all, the guy from their office, Justine Justice was verry serious and very prompt with all our questions and advised us with diferent itinerary and price categories to the final itinerary ( 1 night Arusha, 1 Tarangire, 1 Ngorongoro, 2 Serengeti). At the airport waited for us our guide Lord, the best you could get for such an experience. We are a family of 4 , 2 adults and 2 kids, 16 and 10 yo … Lord is a very nice guy, speaking English very well, but also French and Spanish, very polite, punctual, very educated and well informed about many subjects. He implicated kids in many discussions. The car was in good conditions, found it washed every morning, with a lot of cold water, juices, even bear and wine in the fridge…Lord was restless and managed to show us the big five , beetween tens and hundreds of zebras,impalas wilderbeest,girafes, elefants,hipos, hyenas, jakals, mangustes , even a crocodil….so, for us was a complete experience, we strongly recomand African Big Cats Safary and especially their guide Lord.

The experience if a lifetime
We have been on a fantastic safari with African Big Cats Safaries. Tarangire, Ngoronhoto and Serengeti were the magnificent places our safari has taken us to visit. To be very honest words are not enough to express our gratitude to both African Big Cats Safaris and to our guide Lord! We could never dream to see so much but for sure we could not expect a better guide! Lord, our guide, raised the bar so much … not only a very good professional but also a very knowledgeable individual regardless of the topic! Sure you expect the guide to know the places around and to know about the animals, but you don’t expect to meet someone that could very well be your business colleague or your good neighbor with whom you want to enjoy a barbecue during the weekend. We have enjoyed every minute spent with Lord and benefitted to the full from his passion for the job! One lion family, one ghepard or one pack of elephants was not enough! He was not into box ticking, Lord was all about delivering an experience that we will not forget (11 years old son, 16 years old daughter, my wife and I). We saw plenty of animals, big and small, solitary or social, but it was so much more. As Lord would say, it is not good to give up, so we didn’t! Therefore if you are considering a safari than African Big Cats Safaris, Lord and the team (Justine Justice eid a great job in planning the entire trip) will most probably raise to your expectations and deliver a bit more!

Our tour guide - Lord - was the best tour guide ever (in my humble unbiased opinion).
My friend and I went on a 4 day, 5 night safari with African Big Cats and I have only amazing things to say about this experience - literally not a single thing I would change. The person who coordinated our trip, Justice, was extremely helpful, personable, patient, and responsive with all of our questions leading up to and during our trip. Our tour guide, Lord Lugard, aka 'the Lord' ;), was the best tour guide ever (I've never been on another safari to compare, but I know for a fact that my opinion is unbiased and he is truly the best lol). Our guide had an answer to every single one of the hundreds of questions I asked him, plus tons more knowledge to share about the animals, the land, different tribe's cultures and much more. He was a sniper finding the animals & recreated the animal's sounds in order to get some of them to look in our direction for a great photo. We saw ton's of different kinds of animals, learned about all different kinds of plants, and the landscape was absolutely breathtaking throughout the entire trip. All of the lodging where we stayed was beautiful & had great meals for breakfast and dinner. & Lord always had the car stocked up with waters, & drinks for us. I would highly recommend Big Cats Safari for all your safari trip plans. 10/10, 5 stars.

Excellent planning and exectution for our first safari
This was our first safari and from the beginning Big Cats Safaris was excellent. When deciding which operator to use, Justice was quick to respond and answer all our questions and very accommodating in designing a custom 10 day package to meet our desires. We decided to go with Big Cats Safaris because of their professionalism, competitive price and their size. We had some vehicle issues (a flat and dead battery), which is to be expected once you do a day drive on the safari roads! But the team was quick to solve them without us losing any time on our safari. We could of got another jeep but Emanuel our guide was quick to fix the issues in the evenings. The accommodations suggested were comfortable and the food was very good. Emanuel was fantastic! He was extremely friendly, personable and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him and Big Cats Safaris.
During the safari, we saw the big5 including the rare black rhino! We had a great experience seeing more animals than we expected and closer than I had thought was possible. Hoping we get the opportunity to return in the future and if so we will go with Big Cats Safaris.
