OUTSTANDING !! WELL ORGANISED/ GREAT VALUE *****
OUTSTANDING LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
We searched Safaribookings.com intensely and chose African Big Cats Safaris because they ticked all the boxes for us.
From the initial contact, the staff were very professional and helpful. Joshua and Naomi answered any questions quickly and with a friendly approach.
The meetings at the start and end of the safari with Emanuel (Managing Director) shows the dedication and personal care this company has.
The itinerary for the Photographic Safari was excellent. We added an extra day in Arusha at the start without any problem.
The safari was well planned and the accommodation in each location was superb.
This excellent safari was made OUTSTANDING by our driver/guide FESTO.
He is a human encyclopaedia when it comes to the birds, animals and culture of his country. His driving skills are impressive. His passion is infectious.
Each day we shared wonderful, magical experiences. Festo became a friend in the short time we were with him.
This was our first safari and we were lucky to have chosen African Big Cats Safaris. They would be the only company we would go back to.
We highly recommend them.

An unforgettable adventure
We had the most amazing 2-day safari experience with Golden Rwanda Safaris. The tented accommodation was exceptional — comfortable, beautifully arranged, and far beyond what we expected.
But what truly made this journey unforgettable was our guide and driver, TAUFIQUE. He was incredibly polite, always attentive to our needs, and often knew what we wanted even before we said it. His driving was excellent, and we felt completely safe at all times.
He worked tirelessly to show us as many animals and breathtaking places as possible, making every moment feel special. His positive energy, deep knowledge of wildlife, and genuine passion for what he does touched our hearts. We were always smiling around him.
Thanks to TAUFIQUE, we lived a dream filled with wonder, joy, and memories that we will cherish forever. We couldn’t have hoped for a better guide. Highly, highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wonderful safari trip in Kenya
I had a fantastic 7-day safari trip in Kenya! Very well organized and easy contact, and I would highly recommend Bison.
Maggie is incredibly responsible, replying messages and questions almost instantly, which made the planning process so smooth and stress-free. Other companies I contacted always spent 1-2 days to reply my message, which made me speechless.
Absolutely perfect safari experience!

Thoughtful, respectful, & knowledgeable. truly cares about you having an amazing safari experience.
First things first… Beyond the Plains is an AMAZING COMPANY AND TEAM! Beautiful people!
Went for our honeymoon trip. 12 nights between Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Zanzibar.
Dorah was absolutely incredible in helping us plan our trip. Such a thoughtful and sweet woman. She helped me find the best rates and value for our accommodations, and she did not miss one time! No matter how many times I wanted to change something or ask for more info she delivered in such a timely manner. Her communication before and during the trip to ensure everything went smoothly was amazing.
Moses was our guide through Kenya… he gets 11 out of 10 stars rating. His knowledge of the wildlife, where to find them, what were the best times to go on game drives to find wildlife was perfect. He was extremely nice, humble, personable, funny, and respectful. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He made us feel right at home. He ensured everything was planned out perfectly with the lodges we were staying at, ensuring our lunch was set up, our breakfast times were arranged, and itinerary was smooth with our extra planned activities. He kept track of the animals we had seen to ensure we saw all the big 5. He also noted what animals we were really wanted to see and made sure his efforts were focused on our experience and he definitely delivered.
If you want to be treated like family, receive good advice on what to do (not a company who just wants to take your money), and have experienced guides that know where to go. You found the right company.

Incredible & memorable experience thanks to Big Apes Africa!
I have (sadly) returned home after the most amazing 5 day tour of Uganda with brilliant guide Ben from Big Apes Africa.
I truly can’t fault them. A professional company, maintaining great communication during the planning stage and who patiently accommodated all my requests and changes. Bella and Peter were great to deal with, always prompt in their responses.
When in Uganda, my guide Ben did everything in his power to ensure my Ugandan experience was beyond anything I could imagine - up close and personal with the gorillas and chimps, tree climbing lions, elephants, zebras, water buffalo, hippos, lions, warthogs and a million bird species - you name it, I saw it!
Ben was always punctual, so informative and knowledgeable about the bird and animal life and he personalised the sites and info to my interests. I also learnt so much about Uganda and the wonderful people and he was so patient with me wanting to stop for numerous stunning scenery photos!
The boat ride was really amazing for the abundance of wildlife but Queen Elizabeth NP was also a highlight. The accommodation was great, particularly at Lake Bunyonyi which was so special and a wonderful relaxing start to the week, along with Enshama Game Lodge where meeting ‘John’, the visiting wild elephant was a highlight!
Ben was great - always courteous, friendly and was excellent company on the long drives, so accomodating and always patient in answering my many questions!.
I am beyond grateful to BAA and especially Ben, for ensuring that I had the most memorable and incredible experience that surpassed all expectations. Thank you 🙏🏼 ☺️

Unforgettable Family Safari in Tanzania!
We’re a family with two young boys (6, and 8) and we booked the 8-Day Comfort Honeymoon Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater + 3 days in Zanzibar). The whole experience was absolutely amazing!
Our guide, Adrian, was fantastic — very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He made sure we saw as many animals as possible and always took great care of our safety and comfort, even preparing our lunches every day. The safari was full of incredible wildlife moments, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
After the safari, we spent three relaxing days in Zanzibar — the perfect way to end the trip. What impressed us most is that the whole adventure was organized less than a week before our departure, yet African Bovine Adventure planned every detail perfectly.
An awesome experience we’ll never forget — highly recommended!

Excellent, informative personalized service.
I traveled to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls and Botswana to see elephants. It was an extraordinary trip. I was sprayed by water at Victoria Falls, a feeling and a sight I'll never forget. In Botswana I went to two safari camps. I was able to see all the animals I had dreamed of seeing, including elephants - up close and personal. The best part was sitting around the campfires at night, watching the sun go down and the stars come out.
