Excellent service and unforgettable wildlife encounters
I first got in touch with Big Cat through BookingSafari back in February. At the time, I was speaking with a few different local operators and had some good conversations with other sales reps too. But overall, Joshua from Big Cat gave me the best impression. He was always patient and responsive, and very reliable whenever we had questions or special requests.
We already had a few camps and a rough route in mind, so the communication was smooth and efficient. Once we got the final quotes and confirmed the camps we wanted, we decided to go with Big Cat right away. Then came a long wait of almost six months before our actual trip at the end of September.
On our first night, we were welcomed by the manager who carefully went over all the key information with us. He was friendly and very detailed, which made us feel well taken care of. The next morning, we took a small domestic flight to the northern Serengeti, where our guide Lovio was already waiting for us. He led us through an amazing Safari journey. On the very first day, we were lucky enough to witness two river crossings by wildebeests. Over the next few days, we managed to see almost all the animals we hoped for, except the black rhino which was a bit too far away.
Lovio’s vehicle did break down twice during the trip. The first time, it caused some delays, but after the car was fixed, he really gave his best effort to help us spot more wildlife. The second time it happened was on the way to Ngorongoro Crater. Honestly, I guess we were just too lucky in our own way, since not everyone gets this kind of “experience,” right?
On the last afternoon, while we were heading back to Arusha, I suddenly came down with acute food poisoning. Lovio was incredibly helpful and brought us to two hospitals to make sure I got the treatment I needed. Luckily, my condition was under control by that night, and I was able to catch my international flight the next day without issues.
I’m truly grateful to Big Cat and especially to our guide Lovio. This trip gave us unforgettable memories. I hope the next time I visit Tanzania for another Safari, I’ll have the chance to meet them again.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari - Perfectly Organized by the Amazing Fiona Grace
Our experience with Inspired Feet Safaris was far beyond our expectations — it was warm, personal, and absolutely unforgettable.
From the very first message, Fiona Grace, the incredible young woman behind this "woman-owned company" concept (which I gladly support) - stood out with her honesty, care, and unmatched responsiveness. While other big-name safari operators took four to five hours to respond to my questions, Fiona always replied instantly, no matter the time of day. That level of personal commitment made me trust her immediately — even though I didn’t know her before — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Fiona is a person of true integrity and trustworthiness. Unlike many others, she provides a completely transparent cost breakdown from start to finish. She offers by far, best rates (which easily beat the concurrency on any day) - and carefully explains what every item covers — park fees, accommodation, the ART of your transportation (Jeep vs Van!), meals — with no hidden charges whatsoever. You always know exactly what you are paying for, and you genuinely get the best value for your money compared to larger companies.
What makes Fiona even more special is her honest communication about the local culture. She speaks openly and truthfully about the Maasai villages, ensuring you understand the customs and realities before visiting. She also shares countless useful tips for traveling safely and wisely in Kenya, something you don’t get from most other operators.
After our long journey to Kenya, Fiona personally took care of us like family. She arranged a private transfer to bring us safely in a Jeep all the way to Masai Mara, as we arrived half-dead to Nairobi. That thoughtful gesture truly saved our energy and made the start of our trip so enjoyable. Fiona even welcomed us into her home, cooked for us, and treated us with such kindness and warmth — it was the kind of hospitality that builds friendships for life.
Our safari route — Masai Mara → Lake Nakuru / Lake Naivasha → Amboseli — was simply perfect.
In Masai Mara, we saw 99% of the animals on our very first day and the rest on the second.
Our guides — George, Caius, and Jackson — were absolute professionals: exceptionally safe drivers, deeply knowledgeable, and masters at spotting wildlife even in the most hidden places. We always felt safe, cared for, and inspired by their passion.
Lake Nakuru was peaceful and pristine — a clean, calm place that feels like a dream. It’s the kind of town where you could easily imagine settling down one day, surrounded by beauty and serenity.
Finally, Amboseli captured my heart forever — the landscape, the elephants, and especially the warm and welcoming Amboseli Maasai people - quite different vibe than Maasai people from Massai Mara. Yes, there ARE differences.
To anyone considering a safari in Kenya, I wholeheartedly recommend Inspired Feet Safaris. If you want honesty, transparency, safety, and a truly personal connection, Fiona Grace is the person you can trust — 100%.
Thank you Fiona & Team, for creating an experience that was not just a safari, but a journey of friendship, discovery, and lifelong memories. I will forever be grateful.

Absolutely incredible!
The tour with Jocky was incredible. We did the 6 day tour of Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We had the best guide in Dickson, who was friendly and knowledgeable. With Dickson we found all the big 5, and he made the tour so much fun. The accommodation was very basic but for 1000USD each we could not complain! The food was good, and the tour was consistent with their meals for us. The trip is about the animals and not where you sleep! Don’t hesitate to book! Amazing and will be a long life memory.

Very good organised, good hotels to stay and perfect driver Charles!
We booked a 4-day tour with Dav safaris, start and end in Kigali (Rwanda), visiting the gorilla's in the Mgahinga gorilla National Park in Uganda, the equator in Uganda and a perfect stay on the Itambira island on lake Bunyonyi. The driver Charles did a perfect job, he is very friendly and helpfull and knows the interesting places where to go. Everything we asked is worked out fine! Thanks to Rigan and Charles.

Sorry, but I had no much contact to the operater.
The trip was incredibly beautiful. We were 14 days in the mainland Tanzania and 1 week of Sansibar. If I could decide again, I would prefer to stay longer in the mainland and shorter of Sansibar. We had only 1 day in Moshi, 2 or 3 nights would be better for us.
All the drivers were absolutely reiable, drove safely and werde very kind persons, especially Benjamin.
The accommodatins were very good with very friendly staff and wonderful food. We enjoy it very much.

Highly recommended, with no reservations whatsover - thank you!
It is impossible to overstate how pleased we have been with the experience and support provided by the Viatu team, from the very first contact with Mardi, to the conclusion of our trip. The advice and support before and during the trip was exceptional, with extremely prompt responses to clarifications that we requested while traveling. All four of us were unequivocal in giving the whole Viatu team a 10/10 rating, without any reservations - thank you!

The best tour operator you can meet in Tanzania, no doubt
Our experience with Sustainable Safari Tours was beyond amazing – it truly exceeded every expectation.
🦁 The Safari
Our guide Joshua knew exactly where and when each animal would appear depending on the season and the terrain. Thanks to his deep knowledge and incredible instinct, we saw all of the Big Five! While other cars were driving around unsure where to go, Joshua always seemed to know the perfect route and timing. His guiding skills in the vast Serengeti were simply unmatched.
🌍 The Guide & Company Founder
Joshua is not just a safari guide – he’s a storyteller, an educator, and a deeply thoughtful person. As a proud Maasai, he shared with us the rich history and traditions of his people and helped us understand the connection between wildlife, local communities, and conservation.
What impressed us most was his genuine respect for animals and the environment. He always made sure we didn’t disturb wildlife and treated every moment in nature with humility and care. He also trains new guides with generosity and passion — a true role model in the industry.
💰 The Value
The price was incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality of accommodation, service, and overall experience. Every lodge and camp we stayed in was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully landscaped. Compared to other companies, the cost was lower, yet the quality was far superior. Even after our safari, Joshua helped us explore Arusha city and arranged a visit to a local golf course — all at very fair prices.
🌟 In Conclusion
I truly recommend Sustainable Safari Tours . If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, contact Joshua. You’ll get not only a perfect wildlife experience but also a meaningful insight into Tanzanian culture and conservation. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip.
