Thanks for an amazing safari experience! Endeni is incredibly knowledgeable and professional
My friends and I, total 9 persons, booked safari trip in Tanzania through African Big Cats and had an absolutely incredible experience. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well-organized and thoughtfully planned. We spent 8 days/7 nights on safari across the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Endeni and Gabriel, they are incredible guide, very knowledgeable and skilled drivers. The Whole Journey they took care of us very well.

Incredible Safari with an excellent guide
Our five-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris was truly unforgettable. Everything ran seamlessly—from the smooth logistics to the thoughtfully planned itinerary—and each day brought us deeper into the heart of Tanzania’s stunning wildlife. A highlight was our lovely stay at the Dove Lodge in Serengeti, where we woke up to a mesmerizing scene: a lion walking just meters away from the lodge, in the beautiful sunrise. In that moment, we felt the pulse of the wild in a way we’ll never forget.
Our guide, Venance, deserves special recognition. His warmth, deep knowledge, and expertise made each game drive feel like a unique experience. He balanced professionalism with genuine care, and his sharp eye ensured we didn’t miss a single magical moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion for this journey.
We wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats Safaris—and especially Venance—to anyone seeking an authentic and enriching safari experience. Asante sana for the memories that will stay with us for years to come.

Everything from start to finish was beyond our expectations. Excellent .
From the minute we were greeted at the airport to the minute we were dropped off at the end of our safari we experienced excellent service.
Our accommodation exceeded our expectations with each hotel picked for us unique in style and all had excellent staff , food and rooms.
Our driver ,Rich , was professional ,friendly and had a wealth of knowledge. He did everything he could to find us the list of animals we wanted to spot and happily stopped letting us take photos and watch the animals whenever we wished only moving on if we were happy to do so.
We had excellent communications from the first email i sent requesting a quote to the manager meeting us for a de-brief at the end of the Safari to check everything was as we requested.
Great value for money especially as the accommodation was so lovely we truly had a first class experience.
We would highly recommend African Big Cat Safaris and we are already saving so we can return one day .

A once in a lifetime experience with a group that took care of us and made us feel comfortable!
We had an 8 day Great Migration Safari in July and it was the Adventure of a Lifetime!!!
Would highly recommend anyone to book with African Big Cats. Emmanuel was excellent in communicating with us before and during the trip, even meeting us in person at the start and end.
Our guide Elias was incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely funny, and made sure we felt safe and well cared for along our journey. He went out of his way to take the off beaten roads and did his best to find us every animal we wanted to see.
Truly a once in a lifetime experience with a group that took care of us and made us feel comfortable every step of the way!!

Excellent Safari
We just completed a 6 Day/5 Night Safari with African Big Cat Safaris. From the very start communication was great and trustworthy with Naomi.
The trip was very well organized, and we felt extremely secure during the trip. The Manager Emmanuel met us on arrival and thoroughly briefed us on the dos and don'ts of the trip along with a detailed itinerary.
Our guide, Claus, was very knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, and always giving his best to make sure that we got to see all the animals during the trip. Above all, he was super funny and we truly liked interacting with him. Emmanuel was also present to get feedback at the end of our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour operator. They are reliable and goes out of their way to make their customers happy.

Very good with little kids
Everything was well organized. Our guide Endeni, who was also our driver, was experienced, very friendly, and helpful. We had an amazing time—beyond our expectations! We saw all the animals we wanted to see up close. The lodges were well arranged and the staff were friendly.

Perfect Africa Safari and Cultural Experience!
We took the “14 Day Comfort Safari & Authentic Cultural Experience” and we added 3 days in Zanzibar at the beach. It exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, they were great to work with. Communication was outstanding (Even with the 10-hour time difference). Having our own private guide, Khaled, made the trip amazing. His knowledge and respect for the animals got us to experience what most other Jeeps did not. The cultural experiences gave us a break from the Game Drives and connected us with local communities and traditions. We are so glad we went with African Big Cats Safari, you should too!

An Unforgettable Safari with African Big Cats – Exceeded All Expectations!
Our group of four had an incredible 10-day safari with African Big Cats, and we’re so glad we chose them for this adventure. From start to finish, the trip was exceptionally well-organized, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged.
William and Naomi crafted a perfect itinerary tailored to our needs and budget. They were highly responsive and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Even when our flight was delayed by four hours (arriving at JRO at 3 am!), Naomi reassured us that our driver would wait—and true to her word, he did, getting us safely to our hotel by 4 am.
Our guide, Lovoi, was simply outstanding. His expertise, sharp eyes, and skillful driving made our safari unforgettable. Thanks to him, we spotted the Big Five, cheetahs, and countless other animals. Most remarkably, his perseverance allowed us to witness the wildebeest migration on all three days in the Northern Serengeti—including one breathtaking crossing that lasted over 30 minutes!
Beyond his professionalism, Lovoi was incredibly kind, caring, and humorous. He checked in with us nightly and greeted us warmly every morning, ensuring we were comfortable and well-rested. His presence filled each day with laughter and joy.
We wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats to anyone planning a Tanzanian safari. Asante sana!

Once in a lifetime trip! Incredible experience!
We had a great experience with Big Cats Safari! Booking was easy and they were communicative but the absolute best part of working with Big Cats was our safari guide- Gabi. He was such a kind and intelligent young man who took genuine joy in sharing about the parks and wildlife- he was knowledgeable and really enjoyed sharing his passion and knowledge with us. Would definitely reccomend this company to anyone looking for a safari experience! We did Tanzania and hit Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Serengeti! Incredible and life changing trip.
