Set in one of earth’s few remaining wildernesses. Guide exceptional. Welcome fanastic.
Family holiday - 3 generations. Owners and camp staff couldn’t have looked after us better. Accommodation and food excellent.
Guide one of the best I have ever been with - superb birder, excellent on trees, knows the stars by name and uses spotlight for indicating. What he doesn’t now about mammals is probably “not worth knowing “.
Zikomo, set in the Nsefu area, is in a quiet area of S. Luangwa - there is but one other camp in the area. When you are watching lions, leopards, etc you will not be sharing the experience with lots of other people in their vehicles! The holiday couldn’t have been better..
Zikomo sponsors Chabwera school. A visit there was humbling.

3 days Kenya safari
Our 3 days safari was the best, Ben our guide manouverd his landcruiser well he always made sure we were kept engaged in his knowledge about the animals, he communicated with other guides, with his vhs radio, about the where about of the animals. He Always made sure he positioned his jeep nicely for us to take pictures we realised he had a lot of photographic ideas in his guiding. Thanks to hi. For making our safari dream come true. All the the three days on safari he made sure we saw the big five animals and many more.

Amazing experience
I spent few days with them in Congo and Rwanda.
That was an amazing experience.
They know the job, they are involved with the local community and can show you all the real local culture and beyond.
We were doing the Gorillas trekking in Kahuzi Biega which was amazing and economic. explored Bukavu and Goma, and also the volcanos national park in Rwanda.
The guides were very considering and professional. The cars were very good and convenient and i felt very safe and comfortable during the whole time.
Will really recommend to use this company, and will definitely use them if i go back to Congo again.

Amazing service and very professional company
I know booking a safari can be scary! You never really know what you’re going to get.
You can relax if you book with African Big Cats. The service and professionalism are top notch. I designed my own five night safari in notnw Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. It turned out awesome! Great communication through the whole process. Everything is taken care of. I couldn’t image going on a safari without the help of African Big Cats.
A special thanks to our guide Lordy, owner Emanuel, and booking support Justice!
The guides really make the difference between a good safari and a great safari!
Excellent Service!
Communication was excellent, always ready to assist. Found the perfect place and then upgraded it!

Great itinerary at a reasonable price.
Accommodations were great, most owned by the tour company. We spent a week around Cape Town, then a week on safari in the north part of South Africa and extended to go to Zimbabwe to visit Victoria Falls and to Botswana to visit Chobe National Park. We saw amazing animals, scenery and history but it was the people we met that made our trip so wonderful.

Amazing Family Safari Experience!
Hotels, excursions, guides, and Anne our tour operator were all AMAZING. We are a family of 6 with 4 young children ranging from 10 to 1 year old. The entire team was superb. They ensured that we were safe, comfortable, and well fed. The experience is unforgettable. If you are thinking about doing this safari you absolutely should. It's so worth it and you have a lifetime of memories. Anne is the best and completely understands how to plan a trip with children. Our itinerary was Amboseli x 2 days, Lake Navaisha x 1 day, Lake Nakuru x 1 day, Masai Mara x 3 days, and Zanzibar x 4 days. We loved all the places we visited and would have stayed in Zanzibar longer if we had extra time. This was a lovely vacation - just go and enjoy it!

A once in a lifetime experience you will not regret
We weren't sure what to expect but all I can say is we were thrilled with the experience, the care and the expertise. You will be in good hands with Annalise and her team at Drumbeat. Our family of four (including 2 teenagers) had an amazing time with excellent guiding by Cabello, a very comfortable safari jeep with drinks, snacks, gear and blankets for the chilly mornings. Comfortable tents, hot water provided for outdoor showers, delicious meals prepared, and just an overall great experience. Annalise provided an extra set of binoculars, hot water bottles, and everything you could think of to make the experience perfect. We slept to the sounds of hippos playing in water near our camp. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
