Wonderful!
African Big Cats put together a personalized safari experience that exceeded our expectations. They listened to what we wanted with the price range we had. They were able to accommodate a change in dates when the airline we booked with changed the dates of our arrival and departure by a day. Our guide Venance was fantastic!

Warning! Dishonest company
From our experience this company felt like a travel scam operation.
They are extremely dangerous. Do not use them under any circumstances.
We have reported them to the government through a Tanzanian lawyer.
Our family, in early October, contracted with them for a 3-night, 4-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro program. We were defrauded throughout the entire program and were put in serious danger before we barely escaped.
Round-trip flight to Zanzibar: $1,300
Serengeti camp accommodation: $1,100
Ngorongoro national park entrance fee: $865
Ngorongoro accommodation: $3,000
We had paid them the full amount before the trip, but locally we were forced to pay more than $6,000 extra to continue the trip.
They only made reservations on paper and did not actually pay the suppliers, so everywhere we went we were treated like hostages: forced to wait endlessly and only allowed to leave after paying additional money. Every time we paid, they lied that the bank account was “problematic” for that location. They are a group that extorts money through fraud.
The vehicle they provided was so old and badly maintained that it stopped 6–7 times over three days; we had to perform emergency fixes just to keep going. At one point the vehicle completely ran out of battery on the slope of Ngorongoro and we were stranded overnight, having to call for rescue and wait. The driver didn’t even have money to buy fuel. National park inspectors even gave us the detailed entrance fee receipts directly, telling the company not to embarrass the country.
The Serengeti program covers an enormous area and there are no alternative transport options besides the guide’s vehicle, so you cannot change plans mid-trip.
I recommend that you do not use them under any circumstances and have them removed from travel platforms.

Exciting! The tour team were exceptional with in time proficiency and ability to still be friendly
The tour was exceptional! both Alex and Petrus where out shuttle bus driver an Safari Driver. For the value of money and on time reliability we had an exceptional time on the Safari seeing all types of animals, for example elephants, giraffes, water, buffaloes, hippos. For two tours and lunch included,Would recommend everyone.

Thank you for a wonderful experience for both safari and Mt.Kili Climb
We had a truly wonderful and pleasant experience with this local company. Our 7-day safari was nothing short of magical. Our guide, Josephat, was phenomenal—he knew exactly where to find the animals we were hoping to see and made every moment enjoyable with his warm personality and deep knowledge of the wildlife.
When my daughter missed her flight, the company owner, Fredrick, went above and beyond. He was incredibly understanding and arranged a reliable driver to pick her up and bring her safely to our resort. That level of care and flexibility meant the world to us.
Later, my daughter and I embarked on a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Gasper, and the entire crew were absolutely amazing. They supported us every step of the way, showing genuine care and helping us achieve our dream of reaching the summit. We are forever grateful for their dedication and encouragement.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic, safe, and memorable experience in Tanzania. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our journey truly special.
Very reasonably priced compared to other companies..

Nairobi National Park was the perfect connection to Kenya’s wild heart.
It's our short trip With Namnyak in Kenya. We visited Nairobi national park. We wouldn’t believe how quickly the city noise fades once we enter the park.
The morning was beautiful, cool breeze, and endless open land. We saw many rhinos so close up. Our guide Richard told us so much about the animals and their habits, and we even visited the Ivory Burning Site before leaving. Really we enjoyed the whole day very much.

Excellent wildlife photo and cultural tour lead by expert guides
The primary focus of this tour was to photograph the wildlife in Tanzania, but this tour included much more and was great for non-photographers as well. Our multi-day tour included exploring Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and viewing the Mara river crossing. In addition, we visited a Maasai village, a band of Hadzabe hunter/gathers, a rice farm, a banana plantation, local markets, and experienced an awesome optional hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. We overnighted at fine lodges or upscale Safari camps with running water, hot shower, flush commode, and excellent food. Our team of giudes was lead by Gerald Kani, Owner of Landsman Experience. It was great to have the owner present so that any want or desire could be immediately discussed with the person in charge. All of our guides were extremely experienced, knowledgable of animal behavior, and were very attentive to our every need, even to the point of making minor adjustments to the position of our sufari vehicles to get the perfect camera angle for the best shot. The guides were expert in locating wildlife and getting us in position for the best views. In many cases the animals were extremely close to our vehicles. Both photographers and non-photographers all had excellent views since there was only one person in each row of seats in the vehicle, affording clear viewing out both sides of the vehicle. Due to the ability of our guides, we saw all of the "big nine" animals in Tanzania, many in incredible numbers. A relative of mine recently went on a similar Safari in Botswana, paid more than double the cost of my trip, and did not see all of the big nine, did not experience the cultural aspects that we did, and did not have the opportunity to do a hot air balloon ride. In comparison, the value I recieved for money spent was extrordinary. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and I would highly recommend Landsman Experience since they made the trip the incredible adventure that it was.

It was a well-organized and memorable trip
It was a wonderful Kenya safari. We met many lovely friends during the journey. The highlight was Masai Mara, where we saw a great variety of animals.
Our guide Patrick with his great sense of humor and expertise, he managed to get us very close to elephants, lions, and cheetah. Thanks to him, we captured great photos. He also shared many interesting and fun facts about the animals, which made the game drives entertaining.
I also want to thank Joy for her great support. She was highly responsible and communicative, always respond promptly and remembered everyone’s itinerary clearly and efficiently helped me resolve the luggage issue.
It was a well-organized and memorable trip. Highly recommended.
