African Big Cats did an amazing job.
The safari was beyond belief and amazing. All the lodging were great and the sights were amazing. Big Cats guide Khaled was very informative and knowledgeable. Naomi, our arranger kept us informed before our trip and answered all of our questions. Our party of three went on a 7-day safari including the Serengeti and was actually in the middle of the great migration and saw several thousands of zebras and wildebeests. We saw four black rhinos, a few leopards, many lions, 1000s of elephants, 100s of cape buffalos, 100s of hippos and giraffes. We went at the end of the rain season and there were no crowds. I highly recommend using African Bigs Cats. Request Khaled as your guide.

Best Guide!!
James was the best guide we could have asked for. He is so knowledgable about all the animals and led us to locations with amazing views.
He went out of his way to accommodate us and customize our trip.
We highly recommend him and can't wait to go back.

Our Photographic Safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations
Our Photographic Safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations. We wandered through picture-perfect landscapes, from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater, ending at Lake Manyara, and even visited a Maasai village.
We encountered animals everywhere.
Lions, lionesses, elephants, cheetahs, flamingos, pelicans, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, and many other animals.
A special thanks to our always top-notch guides: Aidan, Hamza, and Elia, who knew the perfect spots for strategic sightings, providing us with fantastic experiences during our shots.
The guides were patient and accompanied us on this adventure, always available, courteous, and always smiling.
Thank you so much, it was a wonderful experience.
A special thanks to Hamza, who accompanied us on this wonderful journey in the jeep.

African Big Cats- 10/10!!!
Our safari with African Big Cats was truly one of the highlights of our honeymoon, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, the entire team went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. A special thank you to William from the sales team, who managed to organize our itinerary and accommodations at the last minute while carefully accommodating all of our requests and preferences. Everything was planned exactly the way we wanted. We would also like to thank Naomi and Emmanuel from the operations team, who made sure every detail was clear, well-organized, and running smoothly throughout the entire journey.
And now, the most important part of this review: Martin.
We spent six incredible days with Martin on a private safari, and honestly, we could not have asked for a better guide to be part of such a special chapter of our lives.
Martin is the complete package: exceptionally professional, incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and simply a wonderful person to spend time with. Spending six full days together in a safari vehicle could easily feel overwhelming with the wrong guide, but with Martin, we felt comfortable from the very first moment. He has an amazing ability to read the atmosphere and adapt to his guests, making every day feel natural, enjoyable, and effortless.
His knowledge is truly remarkable. Whether it was wildlife, plants, ecosystems, local culture, history, geography, or the smallest details of the environment around us, Martin always had fascinating insights to share. Most of the time, we didn’t even need to ask questions because he was already explaining things in such an engaging and interesting way. At the same time, he never felt overwhelming or intrusive—he always knew exactly how to strike the perfect balance.
Another thing that truly stood out was Martin’s exceptional wildlife tracking ability. His experience, sharp eye, and deep understanding of animal behavior consistently put us in the right place at the right time. Time and time again, he spotted animals that we would never have noticed on our own and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible sightings throughout our safari. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience as special and memorable as possible.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Martin is an excellent driver, extremely organized, and always one step ahead. He made sure every detail was taken care of and that we never had to worry about anything. Everything ran smoothly, without delays, issues, or complications. We always felt safe, relaxed, and well looked after.
As newlyweds on our honeymoon, this trip was incredibly important to us, and Martin played a huge role in making it such an unforgettable experience. We genuinely cannot imagine having had a better guide accompany us on this journey through Tanzania.
We wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats to anyone planning a safari, and if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and specifically request Martin as your guide!!

Great value for the money
We just returned from our Safari with Viva Safari. We went on a a five night 6-day Safari and it was wonderful. I had gone on the Safari about 20 years ago with Oversea Adventure Travel. O. A. T. It also was excellent but it cost $15,000 for the two of us 20 years ago so I would assume now it's probably $30,000. This one was well worth price. They're charging which I thought was reasonable. We saw the big five and until numbers of other animals. We even saw a pack of 12 wild dogs which I understand is quite rare to see. The food was good. The guides were good and the accommodations were good. I took a video while I was on the Safari and I'll post a link below so you can watch it if you want to.

A Great Tour
Going to a safari was such an experience, and MoAfrika Tours made this experience even better. I would love to thank Alex that took us there and made us feel like a family. And I would like to thank Martin, which put so much effort on showing us many animals as possible. Everyone was so kind and dedicated to us!

Great honeymoon
Guides were really good and knowledgeable. Lodges selected were nice and the staff were lovely. Saw the big 5 which was a huge bonus. Frankline was our point of contact and was prompt with any queries we had.
So well organised, attention to detail. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole itinerary
The whole tour was amazing- From the meet & greet at the airport to our farewell dinner.
Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable , Emmy went above the call of duty and he was a pleasure to have around.
I cannot fault a thing, we were blown away by Rwanda and its people - the accommodation and food was top class - I will definitely travel with Explore plus again -

Extremely friendly and accommodating to all of our groups needs.
I traveled to Kenya for a study abroad trip and Cisne tours helped coordinate much of the planning for the trip and it could not have gone better. All team members were extremely friendly and accommodating to all of our groups needs. You could tell how much effort was put into the planning and coordination efforts. We only went on a safari for a few hours but it was still a blast and we got to see a decent number of animals. Highly recommend them as a tour guide and group to host in country.
