A special combination of animals and culture
We chose African Big Cats because of the special combination of animals and culture, and they didn’t let us down! The safaris were wonderful and, as it says on the can, we saw lions, leopards and cheetahs, the latter in front of us trying to drag their reedbuck kill up a bank. But the day at Eyasi was just as great, going hunting with the Hadzabe tribe and visiting their local blacksmith to see an arrowhead made from a nail. Likewise our stay with the Maasai, joining in their dances. But what made our time really successful was our guide, Elias, who was a fount of knowledge, particularly the birds I was fascinated by. One last thing - that as a vegetarian I was well catered for. We came back exhausted and exhilarated, exactly as hoped for.

5 star company. Our guides Festo and Endie were excellent as well as everyone we dealt with!
All camps that were booked through African big cats were excellent and comfortable with great food. We saw all the big game we wanted and more. I really can’t say enough about what a great experience it was.

Simply amazing
Simply amazing. We had the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn't have been happier to chose African Big Cats Safaris to guide us. They were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and very skilled at showing us all of the wonders of their country. The fact they are local was just icing on the cake.

High praise for African Big Cats Safaris
Sitting at home during a blizzard in Massachusetts today cozy with the wonderful memories of our safari in late January 2026. I was so excited for the trip but the reality exceeded my dreams and expectations. It was important to me to book with a local safari company for their benefit, and to avail of their knowledge and expertise. After lots of research and emails with several companies I found on Safaribookings.com, I chose African Big Cats Safaris for their professionalism and flexibility. Together we curated an itinerary that exactly matched our budget, accommodation wishes and wildlife goals. However, the key to the most rewarding safari is the guide, and ABCS did not disappoint when they assigned Obedi to us. He was fun, professional, kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver who was determined that we would have the best possible safari experience, with great memories to recount. It was a wonderful trip!

Amazing Tour Guides
African Big Cats Safaris was incredible to work with. Don't hesitate if you're looking to book your trip with them! We used them for our honeymoon trip and had Venance as our guide, and it was an absolutely unforgettable and incredible experience. Venance was so friendly and his knowledge of safaris was so impressive. From the moment we reached out to them, they handled everything for us around bookings, transportation and logistics, and made our trip to various safari parks and to Zanzibar as easy as possible. We highly recommend booking with them!

A small company for big expectations!
They were very prompt to respond, and they gave us good advice regarding the sleeping arrangements. The hotel selection was very appropriate to our needs. We felt in good hands from the pick up to the drop off! We had one suitcase missing in the airport, and they helped us retrieve it just in time for the beginning of our safari. We asked for a french speaking guide so our kids ( 8 and 10) would understand all the informations given by our excellent guide, Levoy, who helped us see the big 5!!! I was worried about the long hours spent in a car with two young boys, but the fact that there is soooo much to see, and that they can move and stand up helped a lot. I would very much recommend this company!

An Unforgettable Journey with African Big Cats
Our safari with African Big Cats was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we started our journey, the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.
I want to give a special shoutout to our guide Venance. Not only was he so accommodating, he was a pleasure to spend time with throughout our journey and always went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable. He has a magical way of spotting animals we would have completely missed, and their respect for the nature around us was beautiful to see. We were so lucky to see the "Big 5", and that was all driven by Venance's ability to know the right areas and be there at the right time.
If you are looking for a professional, kind, and deeply knowledgeable team to show you the wonders of the wild, look no further.
Thank you so much for the memories!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience
Our safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawlessly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of this incredible country.
The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking — endless savannas, dramatic sunsets, and wildlife beyond anything we could have imagined. Seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and countless other animals in their natural habitat was both humbling and exhilarating. Each game drive felt like a real-life nature documentary.
Our guide Obde was exceptional: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation. They always knew where to find the animals and took the time to explain their behavior, making every sighting even more meaningful.
The lodges and camps were outstanding, combining comfort with authentic African charm. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying incredible meals after long days of exploration made the experience even more special.
Tanzania is a magical destination, and this safari was nothing short of extraordinary. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate — this is an adventure you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Highly, highly recommended!
