An Exceptional Guide Who Made Our Safari Truly Unforgettable
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Suma, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough.
Suma is extremely intelligent, experienced, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Throughout the entire trip, his knowledge and judgment impressed us again and again. When we were watching the Great Migration or searching for the incredibly elusive leopards, he always seemed to know where to go and, more importantly, when to wait. Thanks to his excellent instincts and experience, he found us some truly incredible viewing spots.
The whole trip felt so complete that we left Tanzania with absolutely no regrets. We were lucky enough to see all of Africa’s Big Five, and I was especially excited to see cheetahs, which are my favorite animals. We saw them several times, including a mother with cubs — one of the most unforgettable moments of the entire trip.
What I appreciated most was that Suma never seemed to give up. He was always paying attention, constantly looking, and doing his best to give us the best possible experience. You could really feel how much effort and care he put into every single day.
This was our first safari in Tanzania, and Suma made it an unforgettable one. If we ever have the chance to return to Tanzania, we would absolutely choose Suma as our guide again without hesitation.
Thank you, Suma, for an incredible journey and so many unforgettable memories!

An Unforgettable Safari – The Trip of a Lifetime!
We had an absolutely amazing 8-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris and could not have wished for a better experience. From beginning to end, everything was extremely well organized, and the entire trip exceeded our expectations.
We visited Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and every day brought another incredible experience. The wildlife sightings were simply outstanding. We were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas and many other animals.
The absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Migration and a Mara River crossing in the Northern Serengeti. Seeing huge numbers of wildebeest gathering and then crossing the river was breathtaking and something we will never forget. It was one of those rare moments where you realize just how extraordinary nature can be.
Another unforgettable experience was the hot-air-balloon safari over the Serengeti. Floating silently above the landscape at sunrise and looking down on the wildlife and endless plains was magical. The views were spectacular, and the breakfast afterwards made the whole experience even more special.
Our private safari guide and driver played a huge part in making the trip so memorable. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the wildlife. He always seemed to know where to go and took the time to give us the best possible opportunities to observe and photograph the animals. We never felt rushed and really appreciated having a private vehicle throughout the safari.
The accommodations were very comfortable, the people everywhere were incredibly welcoming, and the entire itinerary was perfectly arranged. From Tarangire and the vast plains of the Serengeti to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, every part of the journey had something unique to offer.
We returned home with thousands of photographs and even more wonderful memories. Seeing all of the Big Five, experiencing the Mara River crossing and flying over the Serengeti in a hot-air balloon made this a true trip of a lifetime.
We can wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.
5 stars without hesitation – we would do it all again!

Awesome
Moloko was amazing! We were able to see a leopard waiting to hunt onto an impala. Moloko had tons of patience with the whole group and always waited for us or reverse the car in order for us to take the best pics. Coming to Pilanesberg was definitely worth it 100%

4-Day Gorillas and Golden Monkeys Safari - Amazing experience!
I did the 4-Day Gorillas and Golden Monkeys Safari with Dav Safaris in August 2026. The experience was nothing short of amazing: friendly staff (a special warm thanks to my guide, Charles); comfortable transport; superb accommodation and food; and just, overall, unforgettable close-up encounters with golden monkeys (in Rwanda) and gorillas (in Uganda). I can’t recommend this tour operator enough, professional and very caring of their customers. Looking forward to my return already!
