Our trip to the safari with “African big cats safari” was amazing!!!
Before the travel to tanzania i asked 6 safari companies for tour proposal for our honeymoon and after some iterations we decided to give our trust to African big cats safari and they didn’t let us down.
The company answered to every question and request we had before the trip (and we had a lot).
The Manager Emanuel met us in the first day to explain us how the trip is going to be and to make sure every request we made would be done. He also met us in the last day to make sure our safari tour was everything we asked for, AND IT WAS!!!
Our tour guide Endeni was absolutely amazing!!!
For the entire trip he made sure that we will see everything, with his hawk’s eyes he saw every thing around us (even far away or well hidden) and pointed us to there. He made sure we will always have the best view to anything we encountered and take care for every need or wish we had during the safari.
Endeni was very polite, knowledgeable and friendly and the best tour guide someone could ask for.
Our safari was in a luxury level with very good lodges: ilboru, kitela, and an amazing stay in kubu kubu inside the serengeti!
We highly recommending African big cats safari!!!

High quality safari trip provider to see the best spots in Tanzania
Firstly, we spent quite a bit of time reviewing and messaging various safari companies. But the moment we spoke to Jane at Brilliant Safari we knew we were in safe hands.
The company is young relative to other providers hence they have fewer reviews, but don't let that put you off at all.
Their professionalism, communication, quality of their vehicles and the guide we had were superb. I have done quite a lot of safari trips before but they arranged this trip perfectly.
They also added some really nice touches to the trip like giving us matching safari hats to commence, providing plenty of snacks and a cool box full of water and soft drinks that lasted us throughout the trip.
Gabriel, our guide, was hugely experienced and very knowledgeable. We felt like we were in safe hands straight away and he seemed to understand behavioural aspects of the animal's in such a way that we stayed for longer in certain situations to catch more action.
The communication with Jane was excellent throughout and they even dropped us back at Kilimanjaro airport to help us on our flight out of Tanzania.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR SAFARI ADVENTURE. THEY WERE SIMPLY AMAZING.

The Big 5 in the Kruger Park
We had a fantastic time time with Wildlife Safaris and we recommend this operator to anyone. The guide, Simon, was very experienced and knowledgable, genuinely wanted to show us as the Big 5 (and succeeded), and was very likeable and fun to talk to. The tour itself was very well organized. Communication during the booking and payment process was flawless.

Incredible experience
We spent 4 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I have to admit we might have been a bit lucky, but we literally saw everything just within the first day -> 3 lionesses killing a buffalo, crocodiles eating a dead hippo, pride of lions with 7 cubs walking a playing right next to our car and so much more... Really amazing experience made even better by our knowledgeable guide Gilbert. Highly recommended.

Fantastic wildlife experience without hustle
We had a fantastic time with Tony Mobile Safaris and we recommend this operator without hesitation. The guide, Jack, was very experienced and knowledgable, he knew how to track animals, genuinely wanted to show us as much as possible, knew about photography and how to park the car for the best possible lighting and pictures. Bongo and D, the team managing the camps and food were going out of their way to make things as comfortable as possible for us. The food was great, there were always vegetables and even dessert, incredible what one can do in such basic conditions.
The tour was very well organized and we had incredible wildlife sightings. Jack knew all the spots and tailored the game drives to us. The final excursion, the cruise on the Chobe river, highly exceeded our expectations - instead of bing put on a big loud party boat, which we expected, we used a tiny one owned by Tony and had a real game drive - Jack made sure we have time to see all the birds, crocs, hippos etc. that we came across.
The only wrinkle was communication before the safari - we would have liked the salespeople to be more active. We needed to ask for updates about our payments although they said they would let us know as soon as they receive the money. At one point we got a bit nervous, but in the end all worked out - trust these guys and enjoy your safari.

Fantastic tour
We were slightly nervous about going with a small company we hadn’t heard of but read the reviews and decided to go for it - and we’re so glad we did!
Organisation was brilliant - having Anna and the office staff to answer our numerous questions so well and promptly was great. We went for 5 day northern safari circuit and it was perfect trip - visited 4 areas , all diffferent and all beautiful especially Ngorogoro. Guide, Deo, was great - found all the animals we wanted to see (excels rhinos but they are few in number) , he was a very assertive Jeep driver and got us where we wanted to go fast! Accomodation was great too - comfort safari tents felt luxurious, beds and bathrooms great. All picks ups and drop offs to airports were well organised and on time too.
Another highlight was Zanzibar extension - extended it by one night and glad we did as Reef and beach hotel fabulous - beautiful location on its own backed by forest full of red colobus monkeys - the only place they still live wild in the world .
Thank you for our once in a life time experience ,

Reliable, trustworthy and very friendly
Our trip to Chobe national park was wonderfully well organised. We were collected on time and had a wonderful drive to the border. All the formalities were done efficiently with all the help we needed.
The morning boat ride was amazing. We had a fantastic guide who was able to show us so many things.
The afternoon jeep safari was just as good. Once again a very knowledgeable guide who even managed to find a pride of lions to observe.
It was a great day perfectly organised for us by cultural vibes.
I can highly recommend them and would hesitate to book further trips the next time we visit Victoria Falls

Fabulous experience with Gilbert as our guide
One of my friends wanting to go on a safari, did extensive research and found Lion King Adventures, a local agency, which was an important factor. Together with Anna, they organized a fabulous all-inclusive safari for our group of 5.
We were extremely lucky to have Gilbert as our guide and driver and we could not have had a better one. Gilbert knew all the good spots, when and where to go and what was a good time to leave. All this while being respectful of the wildlife and the environment, which we really appreciated. Gilbert was kind and discreet in taking care of us and managing the difficult roads and having the “African Massage” be as smooth as possible.
What an extraordinary experience, thank you Gilbert for your contribution to making this such a memorable trip.

Safari bookings is actually a time conscious company with excellent services and that makes it great
The communication with the company is quite good as they responded to my emails quickly thus ease on updates.The services offered were quite good and of high quality.Talking about the expenses I would say it was quite similar and affordable.My tour was to amboseli which took 9 hrs and because of my good hosts I felt at home and it was very enjoyable being served with hospitality and care

Wonderfully Organized and Fantastic Sights!
We originally scheduled this trip in June of 202 and then had to wait until now for rebooking. The entire time Shemeji assured us that our deposit was safe for as long as needed. Once we finally got to go, we were afraid that it would not live up to our very high expectations and anticipation over two years, but it surpassed all of that,
The communication before the trip was excellent including a detailed itinerary of who would be picking us up and when for our airport transports, etc. The person cited was not always the person who came, but someone came and it was always clear. One time the plan was early and no one was there yet of course so we waited. At the designated time a man approached me and asked me if I was Ms. Mills and when I said I was he told me to go with the taxi driver who was waiting. Apaarently our scheduled driver was running late or had some problem but he made sure that we were taken care of at the scheduled time.
The accommodations were varied and all very lovely. The service at all of them was wonderful,
We added on a day in Stone Town which I feel is necessary. We were tired after our safari and wanted to move at a little slower pace so the extra time was nice to explore the town, see Prisoner Island, etc. The food there is wonderful. The food in all of the lodges was unexpected good as well. The only thing I did not appreciate is our transportation in Zanzibar from the airport to the hotel was very persistent about booking a tour. As I said we were tired and just wanted to relax a bit and weren't ready to make a decision about that. He pressured us into a tour which we were happy we did afterwards but I would like to have chosen it without that kind of stress.
The resort in Zanzibar was lovely, I was on the comfort tour and it was the accommodations with an ensuite bathroom. I didn't upgrade anything and I found all to be very clean, nice and comfortable.
Joseph was our guide for the five days of the safari and we enjoyed him very much. He picked us up everyday on time and did his best to seek out all of the animals that we wanted to see. He was a safe driver and shared a lot of information with us, made suggestions to stop at a Massai culture center, etc. Thanks Joseph!
