African Big Cats Safaris is a very professional, responsive and experienced tour operator.
We started to investigate companies to go with about 8 months in advance and found that African Big cats stood out in terms of efficiency and timeliness of quotes and questions. It was a pleasure dealing with them. We selected the comfort option.
Our guide, Elias, was great - very knowledgeable, courteous and respectful of the rules of the parks. He was also helpful to other drivers. We found that he knew his animals and birds very well and could answer and expand on most questions we had. He was great at animal and bird spotting and knew how to handle the vehicle in all situations we encountered. He kept in contact with other guides to maximise our animal sightings.
The accommodation that was arranged for us was very good and met with our expectations. Elias was very flexible in terms of timing and length of drives. We elected to make the most of our timing of park entry permits etc, which made for long days of driving.
All in all a fantastic experience. We highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris.

Fantastic
The guys at GoldFinch were exceptional, they accommodated our every request.
Even though they brought forward our return flight from Arusha to Zanzibar, they allowed us to start the safari in the Ngorongoro Crater earlier, instead of at eleven in the morning, they allowed us, by coordinating with the guides and transport, to start the safari at 6 in the morning and it was fantastic.
For us it was a fantastic three days full of emotions and we managed to see all the big 5

Best Tour Guide and Gorilla Experience in Africa!
Since we arrived, everything was smooth thanks to Ariyo Timothy.
He was driving us and explaining us everything about our experience and answering all the questions we had.
Apart from that, he was always kind and nice with everyone, even when things (still Africa) happened.
The Gorillas were just perfect and beyond our expectations.

Meticulous attention to maximizing our experiences
From start to finish of our 2-week safari in Kenya, Twiga treated us royally. No worries on arrival or departure at the airport & Nairobi hotels.
Our guides, Nico and Alex, saw to it that we had detailed updates of our fun-packed itinerary at each stage. They continually sought out the best viewing times and places for all the animals and birds, using their deep knowledge and experience to explain what we were seeing. They got us close enough for great photo ops whilst respecting the animals’ space.
The accommodations at each step of our 7- location vacation were amazing - food was wonderful and staff were extremely helpful and engaging at each place. Each conservancy we visited provided contrasting opportunities for viewing wildlife and our travels took us through communities where we could view local customs and lifestyles.
We had an opportunity to interact with villagers in Samburu which became a highlight of our trip. Such interesting people taking the time to explain their daily lives and their ambitions.
We felt safe and cared for at every step of the trip. My son and I were part of a 7-person tour group from BC Canada & I can honestly say that we feel lucky and blessed to have been with the other 5 and with our two guides for those two weeks.
Considering the huge benefits and pleasure we derived from our experience, I have no hesitation in fully endorsing Twiga and reporting that value for money was not an issue.
Thank you Twiga

He was amazing helpful and very patient with my young ones
I had an incredible experience with Belair Adventures & Safari on their 5-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari. From start to finish, the trip was professionally organized, and the team ensured that everything ran smoothly.
The booking process was straightforward, and their communication was prompt and helpful. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by our guide, David, who immediately made the group feel welcome. David’s expertise and passion for wildlife were evident—he seemed to know exactly where to go for the best sightings and shared fascinating insights about the animals and ecosystems.
The safari itself was magical. We saw the Big Five and countless other animals, including a rare cheetah sighting, which was a highlight for me. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and located in stunning settings that offered breathtaking views of the savannah.
One of the best parts of the tour was how well-paced it was. While we covered a lot of ground, there was always enough time to take in the scenery and enjoy the moments without feeling rushed.
I highly recommend Belair Adventures & Safari to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized safari experience. I’ll definitely be booking with them again for future adventures!

Excellent Safari & Hiking Trip
We booked 2D/1N trip from Dar Es Salaam to Tarangire national park and Kilimanjaro slopes, Materuni Waterfalls.
Everything went smooth from pick up from our Hotel in Dar Es Salaam, flight to Arusha and day Safari in Tarangire National Park. Our driver and guide Morgan, managed to bring us to see the lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, warthogs and lot other wild animals. We had picnic lunch at a park with a beautiful view to a valley and a river. The next morning we went to Kilimanjaro slopes, with a photo stop to see beautiful clear view of Mount Kilimanjaro. The hiking to Materuni waterfalls was easy and refreshing, our guide on the second day, Sam, explains lots of information on the vegetation of the park. We had lunch at a coffee plantation, with an interesting coffee making demonstration.
Our 2 days tour was an experience that enriched our souls.

Terrible experience Mud poured over our heads and clothes got dirty but no support
We faced a terrible experience during the tour. Mud and muddy water poured over our head and clothes got dirty but no support nor compensation from the guide.
The tour was held on a clowdy day with some rain and the ground was so muddy.
The car the guide used was a van, HIACE (not the land clouser or something) and the car hight was not enough to avoid splash mad or even to run the bad road.
So we closed the window and opened the roof to watch animals.
The case was happened when we crossed a big puddle. Even though the car is not tall enough to cross it and there was an alternative detour to avoid it, the driver plunged into it and after a few seconds , the car hit a pothole and mud (and water) heavily splashed and they poured into our heads and clothes from the opened roof.
Please let me echo that if it was of course
avoidable because 1) there was an alternative detour to avoid the puddle and 2) there were a few seconds for the driver to stop and turn back before hitting the pothole (the mud splash was kept happening).
After the incident, we asked to the support team to seek any compensation but they just said apologies.
We are very disappointed for the experience without professionalism.
