Excellent service and communication
We really enjoyed our overnight to Amboseli with our guide, Ken. Communication was super easy before and during booking. Ken was a great guide and driver. We stayed at Amboseli Serena for one night and it was perfect and welcoming. Would recommend!

Unforgettable 8-Day Luxury Safari with an Incredible Team
We just returned from an 8-day, 7-night luxury safari with African Big Cats Safaris covering Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
Our guide, Vanance, made the entire experience. He was knowledgeable, flexible, and so helpful throughout. Whenever we spotted an animal we didn't recognize, he'd pull out his own animal encyclopedia-style book and show us photos to help identify it on the spot. He shared endless stories and facts about Tanzania, its wildlife, and its culture, which made every game drive so much more meaningful.
Immanuel was also fantastic - he personally met us for a kickoff meeting at the start of the trip and came back on our last day to check in and get our feedback. You could really tell the team cares about their guests.
We had zero issues the entire trip. Our accommodations were luxurious and even upgraded beyond what we expected, the vehicles were comfortable and well-maintained, and the hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti was an experience we'll never forget. Every single detail was perfect - a true 10/10 from start to finish. We can't recommend African Big Cats Safaris highly enough.

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!

A MIND BLOWING FAMILY VACATION – ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
We traveled as two families with one child, Polecat arranged every single detail perfectly. We stayed at the beautiful Nakupenda Luxury camps. The setting was stunning, and the entire staff was professional, kind, and deeply caring.
Our chef was fantastic, preparing delicious, customized meals exactly to our preferences. The manager and his team were incredible, supporting us with anything we needed.
Our tour guide for the game drives, Mr. Wizard, was absolutely perfect for our journey! He is incredibly nice, highly knowledgeable about all the places, and gave us a wealth of information with top-tier service.
A special thank you to Mr. James, the head of the ship! He is a brilliant organizer who offered a quick, good response at all times and tailored everything to our flexibility. Asante sana 👌👌👌👌.

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!

Safe, assured, happy, enjoyable and did exactly what they promised
We were skeptical initially coming from India for the first visit to Kenya. However, Leopard Orchid Safari team put us at ease the moment we arrived at Nairobi airport. Paul, our guide and driver was so safe, calm and efficient, his knowledge of the roads and the terrain was so comforting, we felt extremely safe with his presence. Ambolesi was awesome with the tuskers, the observatory hill gave a great voew of the park, Lake Naivasha was a treat with the hippos and visit to Cresent Island where we could walk with the girafees and zebras (at a safe distance). Navararu stay was superb with great views of Meninghi crater, we had a great walk to the crater with George our walking guide (George of the Jungle!), Masai mara was a treat with the Lions, Cheetahs, the best part of the visit was the Hot air ballon ride with Mohammed, the pilot and the 5-star Champagne breakfast in the middle of the safari. The ride back to Nairabi was smooth, we are so thankful to Leopard Orchid Safaris and especially to Paul for making this once in a lifetime trip so memorable
