Unforgettable safari with African Big Cats!
5/5

African Big Cats organized our 6-day luxury fly-out safari in Tanzania this past September, and we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable trip! From start to finish, the team made everything seamless and enjoyable. Emmanuel, the owner, was incredibly approachable, attentive, and proactive in addressing any of our needs, making sure we felt supported every step of the way.

Naomi and Joseph were instrumental in organizing our itinerary, and they ensured that every detail was carefully planned. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands. Our guide, Klaus, was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he expertly track and show us the Big Five, but he went above and beyond to cater to our interests. Knowing I was especially interested in seeing baby animals, he managed to find several—including an adorable baby crocodile! His knowledge and enthusiasm for wildlife truly enhanced our experience. He and Emmanuel also helped us to track one of our bags which got lost by our airline.

All of our accommodations were wonderful, offering comfort and luxury in the heart of the wilderness. The food throughout the trip was also excellent, making our stay even more enjoyable. Klaus’s driving was careful and safe, and the vehicle was in great condition, which gave us complete peace of mind.

If we have the chance to travel to Tanzania again, there’s no question we’ll be choosing African Big Cats. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience!

Thank you ABC!

African Big Cats Safaris exceeded our expectations
5/5

We (2 grandparents & family of 4) booked the 6 days/ 5 nights semi luxury safari ( Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro & Serengeti) tour from the initial enquiry with Justice to organising with Naomi and finally our exceptional tour guide Lavoi we have found this company to be so easy to deal with and very professional.
As for the safaris there aren’t enough superlatives to describe the animals, birds & scenery. The accommodation & meals were great. The friendly hosts at the lodges/ camps were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our guide Lavoi was fantastic he found the most incredible animals for us including the rare black rhinos at Ngorongoro (from a distance) the lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, elephants, impalas, warthogs, baboons and the list goes on.
Our last day was at Lake Manyara that was the only day where we were limited with sightings unfortunately no pink flamingos (but we did see them at Ngorongoro) we had adapted to seeing animals so often that it seemed a bit flat just to see one lion and some baboons! (How spoilt had we become) The accommodation at Escarpment Luxury Lodge was exceptional even the baboon drinking out of the swimming pool was a sight!
Don’t let travelling to Tanzania with the extra hassle of vaccinations/ malaria meds & visas put you off it is so worth it!

Thank you Big Cats team you’ve made some great memories for us.

Amazing Experience
5/5

African Big Cats Safari did a great job! From planning the trip/itinerary to the safaris and guide it was well organized, detailed and top notch customer service. Our guide, Obed was friendly, informative and fun. We enjoyed the unique places we stayed and all the animals we got to see.

African Big Cats Safaris also planned and handled our transfer from safari to Zanzibar. I highly recommend African Big Cats Safari. I am very impressed with the customer service they provided. They created a perfect trip for us that included safaris and beach time.

Incredible Safari Honeymoon
5/5

We went on an 8-day safari for our honeymoon at the beginning of October. The planning process was so smooth with William (pre-booking) and Naomi (post-booking), which made us feel at ease and taken care of before even getting there. The company was always very quick to respond and was able to create an itinerary that hit all of the places we wanted, with plenty of time so it didn’t feel too rushed.

When we arrived, a driver was waiting at the airport for us, and the next day our guide, Elias picked us up bright and early to start the safari. We had been looking forward to this trip and planning it for quite awhile and it exceeded our expectations. Elias was a great driver, kind, friendly, and so knowledgeable about the parks & wildlife. We were blown away that we could point at any animal/bird and he would be able to name it and tell us about it. It was clear that he was an experienced guide - we enjoyed our conversations with him, always felt safe, and learned a lot. We were sad to say goodbye when the trip came to an end, after spending 8 great days with him.

Every park we went to was so unique and had its own special experiences and landscapes. I would definitely recommend including Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in your itinerary. And the lodges were amazing - we especially enjoyed watching the watering hole from the pool deck at Tarangire Simba Lodge and the amazing hospitality and balcony views at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge and Lions Paw.

We saw so many elephants (our favourites because we had so many close up encounters with them), lions, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, gazelles, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, etc. Elias was always able to put us in a position to have a great view of the animals and was in touch with the other guides to share locations when something exciting came up.

African Big Cats also arranged for us to do a crater rim hike, which was incredible. It was nice to experience the area by foot and the view was amazing. If you’re thinking about booking a safari, I would highly recommend booking with ABC, they handled everything for us and it made for a relaxing and bucket list trip we will never forget!!

A fantastic guide and safari company!
5/5

I can't say enough great things about our safari guide, Elias! His knowledge of nature was astounding. He did a fantastic job of explaining anything interesting that he saw, and any question that we had, he had a fascinating answer for! Elias knew the parks like the back of his hand and we were able to see every animal that we were hoping to see (plus many more!). He also taught us so much about the different cultures and people of Tanzania as we were driving through various areas. Everything went so smoothly. We knew exactly where we were heading and our guide did a great job of informing us how long it would take to get to our different stops.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this company!
