African Big Cats Safaris deserves their Awards
Our safari was incredible with African Big Cats Safaris. Khalid was our guide and was outstanding at knowing where to find the animals. We had very close encounters with all the big cats, elephants, rhinos, hippos, wildebeast, zebras, etc. African Big Cats is on top of ALL the details and is very easy to work with. They meet with you before and after the safari to explain details and then get feedback so they can improve....truly service oriented and very reasonable priced. We went in the "rainy season" vs. the "high season" and we were glad we did. I'm not sure why anyone would go in the high season. In 5 days, it only rained at night or very late afternoon and the weather was cool and comfortable and mosquitos were never a problem. It is much cheaper and less crowded as well. We got luxury accommodations for mid-level prices. Without the crowds, you can spend time with the animals without 30 other vehicles rushing up and scaring them off talking loudly, etc. Check out the photos below.....as they say, there is no guarantee you will see wildlife but we saw something incredible every hour it seemed. I can't say enough about Big Cats Safaris professionalism and quality service.

Arguably best Safari experience available today
African Big Cats, my guide Lovoi, and the administrator Emmanuel made my time in Tanzania an unforgettable and flawless experience. These guys are serious experts at their craft! My guide and driver, Lovoi, was absolutely proficient at navigating the country and national parks, teaching me about the animals, nature, and culture at every place we went. The accommodations and food were incredibly organized, clean, and comfortable, even when we stayed in the middle of the Serengeti national park. They really offer every single thing they describe on their website. All in all this company and the experience they provided exceeded my expectations and I am very grateful for their work. They’re truly worth every penny!

Way beyond expectations. Love the trip so much
I recently had the most incredible safari experience with African Big Cats, and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, the company's meticulous planning and attention to detail made this trip truly unforgettable. The accommodations they arranged were top-notch—each hotel was not only comfortable but also offered stunning views of the African landscape, providing the perfect blend of luxury and nature.
Our guide, Vnance, was the highlight of the journey. His sharp eyes spotted wildlife from miles away, whether it was a pride of lions lounging in the sun or a cheetah stealthily stalking its prey. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions with enthusiasm and patience. Beyond his expertise, Vnance's thoughtfulness shone through in every aspect of the tour. He ensured our safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times, making us feel like valued guests rather than mere tourists. Thanks to African Big Cats and Vnance, I now have memories that will last a lifetime!

Best！Give us a wonderful experience！
The service was very considerate. Our tour guide Lordi was great. He had eagle-like eyes and was first-rate at finding animals. He could always help us get the best angles because he saw that we loved taking photos. He even accurately predicted the movements of animals and waited for them to walk to the car. He was also very knowledgeable. He kept explaining everything from plants to animals, from humanities to landforms, and he could also give you some life inspirations in the process. We later jokingly called him Teacher Luo. In short, it was awesome!

The most responsible and brilliant operator with excellent guide team.
First of all, we saw all BIG FIVE in a very very short time! Our guide Lordi is so talented and knowledgeable. He knows nearly everything about animals. When he saw the leopard is yawning, he knew he is awake and ready to move. When he saw it’s looking around and staring, he knew there will be a hunting. That’s why we can see a lot of big cats as well as their activities. We even saw two lions mating in the grass. So romantic. The best scene we met was 3 lions killed a buffalo and waited for their buffet, while 8 hyenas showed up and confronted. At the time we thought it would never succeed, a troop of buffalo turned around and headed to the lions. When lions had to leave, buffalos held a very solemn funeral ceremony for their friend. Stunning! It’s something you could never see in the city or zoo or any documentaries. It happened in the wild and remembered in the wild. Thanks to the nature and our guide. Also thanks to ourselves to be this lucky and patient. All communications with the operator and guide are so efficient and well-achieved. During our safari journey, we asked a lot of questions, Africa history, politics, culture about Masai, tribes, animals, human activities and animal behaviors…everything you could come up with. Lordi is such a knowledgeable and kind guide that he answered every question, gave vivid descriptions and offered a lot of amazing stories. We love him and we bet he would miss us too since we have 100% trust on him and cooperate with him to make this amazing journey come true.
