Incredible Honeymoon Trip
Great service from the landing to flying home. We booked a honeymoon trip that included 5 days of safari and 3 days in Zanzibar. Our guide Venance was incredible and showed us the Big 5 animals and all the rest we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable. The head director Immanuel was very friendly. High attention to detail and great accommodations booked.

Elias was fantastic
Highlights of our trip was the Serengeti, we saw so many big cats, it was amazing. The crater was good too. All the accommodation we stayed at was unique, and an experience adding to our safaris. We did the hot air balloon and had breakfast on the open plains, it was great, highly recommend.

Terrific in every way -- friendly, knowledgeable, honest, safe, accomodating. Highly recommended.
We cannot say enough good things about Big Cats African Safari and our wonderful guide, Omega. From the initial planning stages, their communication was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful. They expertly balanced our specific interests—such as adding a day hike on Mt. Kilimanjaro and witnessing the Great Migration—with their own deep expertise to design the perfect loop through Tanzania. Our ten-night itinerary included Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, multiple regions of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Leading up to our trip, they provided excellent guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for the trip. Once we arrived, the whole trip was seamless. Omega met us at the airport and was an extraordinary guide throughout the duration of our journey. Manuel from Big Cats also met with us upon our arrival to help us know what to expect each day.
Omega worked tirelessly to ensure we had a world-class experience. His knowledge of the local wildlife and the region was remarkably impressive – a function of his inquisitive nature and many years of study. He was also very responsible about not disturbing animals in their habitat. Together with this expertise, Omega’s friendly nature and his focus on our safety and comfort made the trip into memories for a lifetime. We were particularly impressed that Omega often knew how to find animals based on his educated hunches – rather than following other safari vehicles to the obvious highlights. Because of his expertise and his sharp eyes, we saw every animal we could have hoped to see – e.g., lions, leopards, cheetahs, black rhinos, white rhinos, elephants, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, wildebeest, and many many others. And birds! Once Omega learned that we were also interested in birds, he was able to help us spot and learn about hundreds of different birds.
For our accommodations, Big Cats selected tented camps that were clean, comfortable, friendly, and perfectly located for spotting wildlife. In the end, the price was similar to three other quotes we received from various safari companies. But we learned that some companies were more reluctant to help us design a custom itinerary – Big Cats worked with us every step of the way. We’ve been lucky go on several African safaris and many games drives. Big Cats was far and away our best experience.
