A wondrous adventure with memories that will last a lifetime
From our first emails with Naomi at African Big Cats Safaris until we were farewelled by our incredible guide Lardgad, seven days later, we were embraced by the care, kindness and immense competency of this tour operator.
On touchdown at Kilimanjaro International airport we were met and guided around Arusha by ‘ Mr Big’ from African Big Safaris. Our first visit to Africa was exciting but also a little challenging in a culture and city that we were unfamiliar with. ‘Mr Big’ looked after us brilliantly, guiding and protecting us as we explored facets of this bustling metropolis before checking us in at the Gran Melia Hotel - a luxurious quality establishment
The following morning we met Lardgad and his safari jeep, our companions for the next few days exploring. It is almost impossible to adequately praise this man. His skill as a guide, his knowledge of the animals, his intelligent banter and his obvious pride and love of his country shone through. We were very privileged to have him as our mentor on safari.
Our safari encompassed elephant and giraffe families in the surprisingly dense Tarangire National Park; zebra, baboons, gazelle and beautiful birds at Lake Manyara National Park and lions, rhinoceros, Cape buffalo and many different birds in the idyllic Ngorongoro Crater. However for us the jewel in the crown, Tanzania’s gift to the world, is the Serengeti National Park. This vast lush savannah truly embodies the concept of safari. Basking hippos and crocodiles, majestic giraffes gracefully strolling, lions, leopards, hyenas and the huge Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, are awe inspiring
African Big Cats Safaris partner with very high quality lodges, hotels and hot air balloon operators. They complement each other very well to round out a complete experience.
Safari is not for the delicate or faint hearted. It is, however, an absolutely unique experience that will suit most travellers. African Big Cat Safaris curate a very special boutique personal expedition. They set out to deliver a safari but instead they gave us a wondrous adventure with memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you Lardgad, Naomi, ‘Mr Big’, Emmanuel and all the team at African Big Cats Safaris. You are ‘ Simply the Best’.

Amazing country . You’ll never forget
We will never forget the magical moments we experienced in Tanzania. We went on a 9-day safari, in the magnificent parks of Arusha, Serengueti, Ngoro Ngoro, to which we added lakes Natron and Eyase (with a visit to the Hatzabe tribe) and the Foothills of Kilimanjaro. We have no words to describe the sensations we felt, and we encourage you to do the same. We chose Safari Soles and had a great time. A special mention to Elias, our incredible guide. Thanks for everything and thank you Tanzania

Tanzania is amazing! People is very friendly and abundant wild life.
We loved Tanzania! The people are friendly and helpful, the food and service excellent. The July weather is pleasant, and the parks are incredible. Visiting them is the best decision of a lifetime.

Breathtaking experience to be experienced by all.
I absolutely loved everything about my visit to Kenya. The food, atmosphere, people, culture, and animals were amazing. I felt welcomed in every part of the country. The safari was life altering. To be up close to the animals in their habitat was nerve wracking and exhilarating. I went on safari with Tall Maasai Safari. Initially I had concerns because of the faulty communication however in the end it all worked out. My guide Patrick was amazing and I would definitely recommend asking for him as a guide. He was informative and knew where to find all the animals. I saw almost all of the big five except a rhino. We saw lions stalking, attacking, eating and mating! WOW! I am definitely returning to Kenya.

An incredible Kenya safari experience. This company made the trip perfect.
I just returned from a three week safari organized by nature's wonderland safaris. The trip was organized beautifully and our guides made it spectacular. The locations we stayed at were beautiful. The most important thing about safari is to have guides who possess information, compassion, and humor. If you are interested in a safari, please check them out. You will feel safe and well taken care of by joseph and his team.

Excellent choice! Great value for money!
SafariWithUs provided a flawless travel experience with attentive service and meticulous planning that exceeded all expectations. We loved Madagascar, with all its endemic animals and plants, as well as its culture and food.

Amazing safari, reliable tour, good price
Innocent, the head of Faithfull Adventures, greeted us at the airport and arranged for a semi-private car to take us to Tarangire National Park. There, we joined our safari group.
Our guide, Godson, was exceptionally professional and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Our 4-day safari, which included Tarangire for one day, Serengeti for two days, and Ngorongoro for one day, was truly remarkable. The jeep provided was in excellent condition. The food was outstanding, plentiful, and authentically homemade. We had access to a variety of soft drinks and mineral water. The camping arrangements were excellent, thanks to the meticulous setup by the staff. I highly recommend this agency for its reliability and reasonable pricing. Additionally, the 20% deposit requirement is very reasonable.
For our return, a private car was arranged for the group, and Innocent himself drove us back to Kilimanjaro Airport.
However, I believe it’s important to mention that in cases of low bookings or other reasons, the tour may be conducted with a different agency other than Faithfull Adventures. While our guide and the safari experience were exceptional, this was a significant detail that should not be overlooked.
