Long Version:
My wife and I just returned from an unforgettable 11-day safari in Tanzania with African Big Cats Safari, and we can confidently say this was the trip of a lifetime! From start to finish, every aspect of our experience exceeded our expectations, and we can’t recommend this company highly enough. From our very first inquiry, the team at African Big Cats Safari was incredibly responsive and helpful, tailoring our itinerary to match our interests and ensuring every detail was taken care of. The booking process was smooth, and all our questions were answered promptly.
Our guide (Elias) was knowledgeable, passionate, and truly made the difference in our experience. He had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife and shared fascinating insights about the animals, landscapes, and local culture. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. We saw the Big Five and so much more— Our guide knew the best spots and times to maximize our sightings, often away from the crowds. Every lodge and camp we stayed at was thoughtfully chosen, offering comfort, excellent service, and stunning views.
If you’re looking for a safari company that combines professionalism, expertise, and a genuine passion for Tanzania’s wildlife and culture, look no further. Our journey was seamless, safe, and filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We left with incredible memories, beautiful photos, and a deep appreciation for this amazing country.
Thank you, African Big Cats Safari, for making our dream safari come true. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and recommend you to anyone seeking the best safari experience in Tanzania!

The organisation of the trip went very smoothly
Our five day, four night tour included an unforgettable meeting with gorillas for one hour, a boat trip seeing more than 100 hippos, a lovely walk where we were lucky enough to get close up of a chimpanzee and other minor highlights. These memories will stay with us forever and I would recommend this tour. We were also blessed to have an incredible guide who attended to our every request, was always happy, very knowledgeable and was great company. Generally the accommodation was first rate. Perhaps the only downside was there is a lot of driving (day one was nearly 12 hours and days 5 over 8 hours and two other days had more the 4 hours driving.) This was not helped by some minor problems with the vehicle. That said the trip was a great experience and we are tempted to return and see more of beautiful Uganda.

The sole of Safari Soles is it's Staff. Who go beyond to make your trip memorable.
Beautiful country, Amazing people!! Asante!
The three national parks were a wildlife paradise. Each set in a different landscape setting. From the moment we landed in Arusha, our Tanzanian safari was nothing short of magical experience. We booked a 5 day package covering Tarangire National Park, the iconic Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and every single day offered something unforgettable.
Angel from Safari soles worked really hard to create a personally curated itinerary. We had lot of conversations back and forth to fit as much things into our package. Discussing possible options for stays to our comfort and budget. The recommendations were spot on.
The lodges and tented camps we stayed at were comfortable, clean, and made us feel at home, with warm Tanzanian hospitality and delicious food.
Last but not least the safari experience comes down to the guide. Our guide Hussein who happens to be also a photographer made every bit possible to make sure we see as much wildlife, even the difficult ones like Rhino and cheetahs. He would stop the safari jeep at right angles to capture some great shots.
The transfer guide Chief. Who picked and drop from airport was so kind and friendly. He waited a long time for our immigration delays, and tried to help us.
Suggest planning more days for Serengeti. As the park is huge.

Michael was an excellent guide who took great care of my family!
“The trip of a lifetime” for my husband and I and our 3 adult children. Gosheni provided an unforgettable experience with luxurious accommodations, delicious food and unmatched hospitality. Our guide, Michael made certain we saw “the big 5” and so much more! He fit right in with our family, and enjoyed lots of laughs playing cards and sharing stories. I can’t imagine a better trip!!

Sociable, Accommodating, and Knowledgeable Guide
A work associate and I are in Tanzania for a month and we wanted to do a two-day safari over the weekend. Our guide was Victor, who was absolutely amazing. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to give us a comfortable and exciting experience. He found out we were political science students doing research in Dar es Salaam and was willing to talk about our research interests and give us some insights on local political and cultural perspectives. I believe they told us he had been working as a guide with Mountain Warriors for 6 years, and that experience really pulled through during our trip. Even If we encountered any hiccups along the way, Victor was prepared and handled everything like a pro. The whole team is exceptionally friendly, and the main office served as a great break point after our safari while we waited for our bus. Overall I have major respect for the whole crew, not to mention the safari itself. We went to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire park, both of which had exceptional biodiversity and beautiful sights. Victor let us indulge in the sights and we didn’t feel rushed at all, he checked in very frequently with us to make sure we were comfortable and felt well informed about all of the areas and animals we encountered. And, when we fell asleep on the ride back, he very gently gave us updates when needed. I would stroooongly recommend to anyone looking for a great safari experience.

Amazing 3-day safari - Food - Cleanliness - Big 5
I did a 3-day safari (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) with Mountain Warriors.
At first, I was a bit worried because it was just the end of the rainy season, and I thought we might not see the Big 5. But our guide, John, was amazing! He did everything he could to help us find all of the Big 5, and even more.
We saw over 40 lions, a rhinoceros, some cheetahs, buffalos, a leopard, giraffes, elephants, and many other animals!
John was very kind and informative. We learned a lot from him, and we also shared some good laughs together!
I was also worried about the food because I have serious digestive issues (IBS and chronic gastritis). But Mountain Warriors made sure all the restaurants knew about my dietary restrictions, and they always prepared meals just the way I needed. I had zero digestive problems during the trip, which felt like a miracle! I'm usually very sensitive to food, and I had a crisis right before traveling.
I was also quite anxious about cleanliness and insects, since I have a low immune system and worry more than most about these things. But honestly, everything was great. The hotels Mountain Warriors chose were clean and very comfortable.
It was a wonderful experience! ✨

Everything was perfect from the planning of our trip with Rehema, to the accommodations on site! Shuhudi Serengeti Camp and Marera Valley Lodge were up to our expectations! We recommend this agency 1000% !!

Prefect!!!!
From airport pickup to accommodation and the entire Safari experience — everything was perfect. If I had to choose again, I would still go with this company. Our guide Goodluck was professional and attentive, helping us spot so many animals. I even gained a few pounds from all the delicious food! Manager Stanley was also very responsive — when I accidentally left my phone in the car, he helped me get it back quickly. Everyone we met was incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommended!
