THE BEST!! I would 100% recommend this company to anyone who will listen. Trip of a life time.
We have traveled to many places. We always wanted to go on a safari. A friend recommended African Big Cats Safaris. We did some research and went with them.BEST DECISION! The trip was a trip of a life time for my family of 4 adults. First communicating with the company was easy. They being Joshua and Naiomi were very quick to get back to us and answer all of our questions. We set up 8 day safari. We went to Lake Manyara, Tarangerie NP, Olduvai Gorge,Ngorongor NP, the Serengeti and the Western Corridor to see the wildebeest migration. The last day we did a day hike on Kilimanjaro. They did everything they promised. A manager Emmanuel came out to our hotel in Arusha and walked us throught the tour just to make sure we were on the same page. They set us up in fabulous accomodations and we did the middle expense trip. I had to double check since the places we stayed were so nice. The food at the lodges they booked us was great. Breakfasts were a variety of foods. Lunch was either boxed or in a basket. We had some great lunches in the basket. Dinners were a buffet with plenty to choose from. They lodges would meet us at the drive way with a warm towel and a glass of juice. Perfect after a day of viewing. Our GUIDE WAS AMAZING! Our guide Klaus was fabulous. We were like family by the end of trip. He was so informative. He answered all our questions about nature, the Maasai and Tanzania in general. He had a great laugh and sense of humor. So many other guides knew him we called him the "mayor". He spotted things for us that we had no idea were even there. He saw this femal lion in the bushes waiting on a wildebeest that we had no idea was even there and we zoomed in up close in the Land Cruiser. He was not intrusive. He shared at times without being asked. Klaus quickly picked up our family vide and went at the pace we wanted and focused on things that we cared about. He was never in a rush and waited patiently for us to view what we wanted for however long. We stayed an hour and watched a gazelle be born and take its first steps. By the end we were all cheering on the little guy including Klaus. Even though we are not big birders he would point out different birtds and give us good information about them. He spotted the crocs for us which we would have missed. He pushed us to see the rhinos right away in Ngorongoro Crater because he knew we might not get another chance to see them. He was 100% correct. He was prompt and respectful and flexible. He took us to some out of the way spots that were great viewing. We felt like we left a family member behind when we left. We did a group hug at the end. The guide they gave us for Kilimanjar, Elias, was amazing. So knowledgeable, polite and easy to talk to. He had great information and some incredible stories about the mountain and some of his climbs. We can't say enough good things about our two guides. This story I feel like sums up the company itself. We had an early flight out of JRO and needed to leave the hotel at 6:30 am. The hotel shuttle was at 7. I talked to African Big Cat Safari and they quickly arranged at no extra cost a ride to the airport at 6:30. It took 2 minutes to arrange. The driver was there at 6:20 am waiting for us. Was just such an easy trip. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY 100% We had a triip of a life time thanks to African Big Cat Safari.

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.
