Banabas was very friendly, reliable and talkative
We did a 3 day / 2 nights trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Tarangire and Ngorongoro were amazing. However, in comparison to the former two, Lake Manyara was less spectacular. Next time, we would rather opt for two days at Ngorongoro or a day at Serengeti instead. Otherwise, the accomodations were beautiful, food was good and the people were very friendly and accomodating. The trip was very well organized.

Top organized tour
We did a 2 nights/ 3 days safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake manyana. It was a great experience, everything was very well organized. People were super friendly and accomondations were great. Especially the second one in the Ngorongoro crater. The third day we spent at Manyana which was, apart from a lot of monkeys, not as interesting as the days before.

Safari was an incredible experience. I had a 7 day budget safari, accommodation was better than I thought, food was amazing, loved watching animals. Thanks David for a great service and being available all the time in case I needed anything. Overall I am very satisfied with the whole experience

African Big Cats Safaris delivered a wonderful, safe, and unforgettable adventure.
We chose African Big Cats Safaris based on a link in The Lonely Planet of trusted safari companies. They arrived on our long list and finally on the short list. We picked them because of the interaction, price and the customisation of the trip. We initially drafted our route (Tarangire – Lake Natron – Serengeti – Ngorongoro – Lake Manyara), and the company helped us fine-tune it. The direct booking process was very good: emails were answered swiftly and clearly, and we even had a helpful video call beforehand.
Our driver was truly outstanding: highly experienced, deeply knowledgeable about flora and fauna, and always prioritised safety. He knew his way around the national parks, handled check-ins smoothly, and gave us useful briefings each day. We appreciated his punctuality, the way he coordinated with other guides to locate interesting animals, and even how the car was cleaned daily despite all the dust. We also liked the thoughtful planning of arrival times—always before 4:30 pm—allowing us to relax and enjoy the scenery before sunset.
Overall, we would rate the company as very good, a 4.5. The only reason we cannot give a full “Excellent” rating is due to a last-minute change in accommodation caused by a mistake on their side. While we had approved the lodges in advance, they had to make a change just days before the trip began, and unfortunately the replacement was a slight downgrade.
This safari was truly “Memories for life.” Despite the minor hiccup, African Big Cats Safaris delivered a wonderful, safe, and unforgettable adventure.

Carefully, kind and great experience
A very nice, kind, small and familia Safari Company. You can trust them 100% that they do their best to offer you a wonderful safari experiences for a very fair price also for students. Everything went smooth and I really enjoyed the time with our tour guides, the lodge we were located, the food and of course the wonderful safari we did in the Nyerere National Park. The guides are taking much care and have incredible knowledge, they are the best and greatest company you can wish for. What was a bit annoying unfortunately was that the veko, it was a bit broken and on one side the window didn't go down. In addition, the walking safari and the visit to the Maasai was very interesting but did not reflect how such a presentation and "show" for white tourists also reinforces a racist image about the "African continent" in many white people's minds... I think that as a tourist you have to deal with power structures, racist systems and postcolonialism before you travel to countries like Tanzania, which of course is not the responsibility of Asante Bibi. All in all we enjoyed our trip with this company and learned a lot it was a wonderful and unforgettable time .Thank you so much Asante Bibi!

Once (or perhaps more?) in a lifetime experience!
Let me begin by telling you the importance of choosing a good local tour for a trip to Safari. Continuous communications before and during the trip, tailor-made route, a helpful guide, one of a kind accommodation..you name it. Much appreciation goes to our contact Peter for curating the route to our preferences and answering my enquiries, after all it's my family's very first trip to the Safari! We are thankful for our guide Dickson who is open to our suggestions and is a very reliable driver. Not to mention being attentive in spotting lions from hundreds of yards away! All in all we recommend travelling with Apodiformes Adventures for this once in a lifetime experience!
