Trustful and reliable
In August 2025, we enjoyed an 8-day family safari adventure with Jackson. Jackson is a very caring and experienced guide with excellent English. For our two children, aged 9 and 11, the safari was both adventurous and educational. We booked a midrange trip and spent four nights directly in the Serengeti. We are big fans of tented camps because they offer an incredible wildlife experience, and you can even hear lions roaring at night. We saw all of the Big Five and can highly recommend Jackson. He handles even challenging situations masterfully; I never felt uneasy or needed to interfere in his decisions, thanks to the strong bond of trust. We would love to come back again! 👍

Mbwana is what this safari is all about.
The safari was absolutely fantastic. Mbwana (aka the legend) got us into amazing positions and has an endless amount of information to share. But let us not forget the magical Miriam (aka dance queen) cooked some stupendous food ffrom which we indulged. Nothing short of a surreal experience for myself and my lover.

Excellent
Joël was an excellent guide. He picked us up on Time, took time to explain everything to us about the animals in the park and was always happy and smiling.

Mbwana is the best tour guide in all of Tanzania.
The safari was exceptional. We saw all of the big 5 and had an incredible experience. Our tour guide Mbwana was brilliant. He had some much knowledge and information about every animal in the safari. He brought us to some many good viewing spots. The chef Miriam was also brilliant. She cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and there wasn’t a crumb left on the plate. It was delicious. Overall 10/10 and would definitely recommend.

A 13 day Golden Photography Safari Package
Our group of 6 Photographers had considered many different safari organizations in Tanzania and finally settled on the African Big Cats Safari, Arusha for our final decision. We negotiated a 13 day Golden Photography Safari Package that included visits as follows: Arusha National Park with overnights at Mtoni River Lodge, A daily animal safari and one awesome daytime walking safari with an armed guard for safety. A two day safari at Tarangire National Park and stay at Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge. Lake Manyara National Park and stay at Baghayo Garden suites. 4 days in Serengeti national Park with stays at Zawadi Serengeti Camps and Embalakai Camps. A Ngorongoro Crater rim walk and stay at Embalakai Ngorongo Camp. A final day safari drive through the Ngorongoro national crater park then to a day of rest at Baghayo Garden Suites before being driven back to the Kilimanjaro Airport in Arusha. Most daily safaris started at 6:00 Am and lasted up to 11 hours with a stop for lunch while on the trails. To say this trip was excellent would be an understatement. All expenses, local travel, and luggage handling has been taken care of expertly. There were only minor additional expenses like mixed drinks at our lodges. Although the name CAMPS is used to describe the lodges they are close to nature but with modern accessories. Food was excellent. Daily safaris by vehicle were handled by our expert driver and guide "Indeni". He handled all requests with his knowledge and careful approach to animal life. He was the best! The second driver "Obeti" (I hope I spelled his name correctly) and vehicle followed his lead with expert care. Both men are to be recommended as perfect at their approach and provided daily guidance and information. Our main contact for the Safari was "Naomi". She made sure our needs, both before and after the safari, were met and any questions answered quickly. Whatsapp was used for any and all communications. We followed their recommendations for tipping for everyone especially the drivers and guides. The entire trip was in US funds. Flights are not included. If I had one item to advise future safari groups it would be to take the "African Massage" as a serious note as most roads throughout the safari are very rough. The time of our Safari was supposed to be at the entry of the wet season but we experienced only a few drops of rain on a couple days. They are badly in need of more rain as all areas have dust storms when passing other vehicles. Our flights with KLM were from Toronto airport in Canada with a short layover in Amsterdam and a final flight to Kilimanjaro airport. I would suggest that you buy comfort seating as the flights are long. The animal life is outstanding and opportunities to photograph are beyond belief. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime and we would love to return. The African Big Cats Safari group has met and exceeded our expectations.

Perfect 1000/10
I highly recommend this company for your next safari! It was a dream come true for us! It was everything we hoped for and so much more.
Before our safari, I had excellent communication with Juventes. He responded quickly and answered every question we had.
We were lucky to have the best guide: Gilibert. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks to him, we spotted the Big Five and so much more during our 4-day safari. Gilibert did everything he could to give us the most wonderful safari experience.
The vehicle was spacious with comfortable seats, and even had charging ports for our phones and cameras. The accommodations during the tour were beautiful, with very friendly staff. The food throughout the safari was also really good!
Overall experience: 1000/10!

Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful safari tour, very relaxed and never rushed; hakuna matata! The communication with this company was excellent. Our guide, Gilibert, was truly the best. He spoke very good English, making it easy to understand everything he explained about the animals, the landscapes, and the culture. His knowledge, experience, and patience made our safari even more special. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide!

Fantastic trip and great impressions with Widman Tours & Safari
I went on a 5-day safari to Nyerere National Park with Widman Tours & Safari. It was perfectly organized. Excellent communication with Widman helped me to create the most perfect itinerary possible.
Nyerere National Park is beautiful. The advantage, for me, is that it's relatively quiet. No 4WD traffic jams when you spot wildlife. The guide and driver were excellent as well as the accommodations. I've stayed in Nyerere Tented Camp. Absolutly wonderful. Just a little outside Nyerere NP, but at night i could enjoy the sounds of hyenas and lions. I would definitely book my next safari with Widman Tours & Safari again!
