Awesome experience with big cat
Generally, the accommodation and food, and transportation are sooooo good. I'll strongly recommend my friends to visit Tanzania, travelling with Big Cat. To highlight, Ngorongoro Crater's Acacia Lodge is an ideal place for vacation. Meanwhile, the arrangement they suggest is really nice, including drive-in and fly-out strategy. They are very experienced, so just feel free to go and travel with their suggestion:) Hope you can enjoy the safari.

Our Tanzania Safari with African Big Cats was awesome!
We had an amazing 8day/7night luxury Tanzania Safari thanks to African Big Cats.
Our initial inquiry with the company was promptly and professionally answered by William Frank who diligently collaborated with us adjusting our itinerary until we settled on one that included everything we wanted. Our file was then handed over to Naomi who continued with excellent communication answering all our queries up until our departure.
Upon our arrival at JRO we were met by Samuel our driver and guide. Samuel was an excellent driver throughout our Safari. His ability to spot the animals while manoeuvring the roads was amazing. We were able to see all that we imagined and more, including seeing the wildebeests crossing the river. Who could have ever imagined seeing lions, elephants, giraffe, and zebras within feet of the jeep. Samuel always gave us plenty of time to sit and watch the animals and was willing to stop whenever we wanted him to. We owe Samuel a huge thank-you for making our Safari experience more than we expected and something we won’t forget.
The luxury tented camps were all exceptionally clean and comfortable with very courteous and welcoming staff. The Serengeti River Camp in the North Serengeti stood out above the rest including the outstanding chef who provided us with some delicious meals.
Asanti-Sana to African Big Cats for a job well done and leaving us with many wonderful memories.

A lifetime experience
We had a multigenerational Safari with 2x >70 years of age, 2x around 40 years of age and two kids 9&12 years.
Our guide Obedi was great and soon realized, that we are also very interested in birds. So apart from the big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) the elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, antilopes, etc., he also explained and found lots of wonderful birds for us. He drove very carefully and safe and did everything to fulfill all our wishes. The car was good and we didn’t experience a single problem. When he went to the petrol station in Serengeti on the third day, he left us at the visitors center and organized a great guide which showed us around.
We chose Big cats Safari because my sister and her family traveled with them last year and were extremely satisfied, and we were not disappointed a single minute of the trip.
We would definitely choose Big Cats Safari and Obedi again

Khalid was exceptional
We did the 4 night safari that covered Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Our guide, Khalid, was nothing short of exceptional. He knew so much about the parks and the animals, birds and plants in them, as well as his country and the people. We learned so much from him and his enthusiasm for nature was inspiring. We saw lots of animals up close and in unique situations and, although there is an element of luck, we have no doubt that a lot of our experiences were purely down to Khalid's knowledge and experience. An absolutely unforgettable time in Tanzania, thank you Khalid!

The Trip of a Lifetime with African Big Cat Safari – Unforgettable!
I recently returned from a 12-day safari with African Big Cat Safari through Northern Tanzania, and I can confidently say it was the most incredible travel experience of my life. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized, thoughtfully planned, and executed with heart, passion, and deep local knowledge.
We visited all the major national parks – Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and more. Each day brought something new and breathtaking, from endless savannahs dotted with wildlife to dramatic crater landscapes teeming with life. And yes – we saw all the Big Cats: lions, leopards, and cheetahs, often at close range and in action. The sightings were phenomenal, thanks to our guide’s expertise and keen instincts.
Speaking of our guide – he was nothing short of amazing. Deeply knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and with a sixth sense for wildlife spotting. He not only shared facts and stories about the animals but also helped us understand the culture, people, and heart of Tanzania. This wasn’t just a safari – it was an immersive journey into the soul of the country.
The vehicle was comfortable, spacious, and well-maintained – ideal for long drives and rough terrain. We always felt safe and well cared for. The lodges were luxurious, full of character, and perfectly located. After a day out in the bush, returning to such comfort and warm hospitality was pure bliss.
What truly surprised me was the value for money – the entire experience felt like a high-end, tailor-made trip but at a very reasonable price point.
This tour was more than a vacation; it was a deep connection to nature and culture. We not only witnessed the best of African wildlife but also had the privilege of meeting local people, visiting villages, and gaining insights into daily life in Tanzania. These human moments were as powerful as the wildlife encounters.
If you're considering a safari, look no further than African Big Cat Safari. You’ll leave with extraordinary photos, unforgettable memories, and a heart full of gratitude.
Highly, highly recommended!
