Perfect Honeymoon Safari
We booked the Luxury package for our honeymoon. Look no further, this is the place to book.
- Booking experience and payment: excellent
- Route and arrival information: excellent
- Lodge selection: excellent
- Guide: excellent. We had Claus, who was fantastic. We trusted him 100% and he made sure to make everything possible we were looking for. He also found all the animals we wished to see.
- Ability to see all the animals on this tour: Flawless, everything we talked to our guide to see certain animals he somehow made it possible.
- Our guide was super invested in making it the best honeymoon possible. He helped immensely with a hot air balloon surprise safari and surprise sunset drinks, making it a 16 hour day for him.
- Trust that the company is always available and taking care of our experience 24h per day: 100%
- Overall experience: Absolutely amazing and lifetime memories made for me and my wife
We can only highly recommend the hot air balloon ride as an add on. The price is steep, but we will never forget this really high quality experience.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Exceptional Service!
We recently went on a safari in Tanzania, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! The agency was professional and well-organized, and we highly recommend them to any tourists looking for an authentic and exciting adventure in Tanzania.
A special shoutout to our guide and driver, Vincent, who was truly amazing. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the landscapes made the experience even more memorable. He was always well-prepared and drove safely, which was particularly important for us, especially after hearing about safety concerns with other companies. Thanks to Vincent, we were able to see an incredible array of animals, including black rhinos, lions, cheetahs, elephants, hyenas, buffalos, and so much more. We were very lucky with the wildlife, and Vincent’s expertise certainly contributed to our success.
The accommodations provided were nice and comfortable (good value for money). However, there were a few extra costs and activities that weren’t clearly outlined in the contract, which caused some inconvenience and unexpected expenses. We had to take some time to resolve these issues, but overall, it didn't take away from our positive experience.
One minor downside was that the vehicle wasn’t brand new, and unfortunately, the radio broke down on the first day, which made communication during the game drives a bit harder. Despite this, Vincent’s skill and experience helped us still get the most out of each drive.
Overall, we are thrilled with the safari and recommend this agency to anyone looking for a well-organized, enjoyable adventure in Tanzania!

Professional, knowledgeable and good value for money
From Naomi in the office to John, our guide, in the field we could not fault African Big Cats Safaris at all
John was a font of wildlife and cultural knowledge, as well a a barrel load of patience, and really helped make our trip a roaring success, His ability to find animals to view without a massive caravan of other Land Cruisers was astounding
All in all we would definitely recommend African Big Cats Safaris to friends

AMAZING!
African Big Cats Safari (ABC) was amazing!!! I had initially requested for a safari quote from several different companies through safaribooking.com. ABC stood out because of the amazing reviews but what sealed it for me was their prompt and thorough communication through both email and whatsapp. Justice and Naomi tailored an itinerary for my desire to see the migration and was so helpful in answering any questions I had. They really put my mind at ease through the payment and booking process. Thank you Justice and Naomi for helping me plan my first safari and for providing amazing service!
What made the safari truly amazing was our safari guide Venance. He made sure we checked off everything we had wanted to see. We saw the Big 5, multiple migration crossings, and so many up close encounters with the animals. I had my heart set on seeing a cheetah and Venance would not give up until I saw one. Venance was so knowledge and provided us with so many insights on the animals as well as the topography of the different parks. He was always early to meet us in the morning, made sure we got the best views, and was great company on our long game drives. Thank you Venance, you really made our Safari trip truly memorable.
Last but not least, Emanuel, the director of ABC met with us prior to the start of the safari and also at the end of the safari for a debrief. You can tell he really cares about the clients and goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is happy.
I would highly recommend this company due to their dedication, passion, and professionalism. They made us fall in love with the Serengeti and Tanzania!

Amazing experience with Arfican Big Cats Safari, from beginning to end. The booking process was easy. They were quick at responding and more than happy to personalize the itinerary to suit our needs. We were provided with a thorough itinerary outlining acomodations, meal plans, daily activities, etc., and pre-departure information. Our guide Tesha was fantastic - friedly, professinal and very knowledgeable. Definitely a 5 star experience and worth every penny.

Life experiences
We thanks to African Big Cats for giving us, me and my husband, the best experience ever. They don’t give us just a safari, they made our honeymoon a wonderful experience.
Thanks to Justice, Naomi and Emmanuel, who gave us all their availability since the beginning.
And of course, thanks to the best guide ever, Khalid. We had a wonderful time together, we learned so much and enjoyed every single moment.
We rather recommend African Big Cats for living safari experience. The service, availability, kindness and preparation is totally worth it.
We saw our big 4 and we will return to look for the 5th one!

Just wow
I don’t know where to even begin- wow! I cannot recommend African Big Cats and in particular our guide Lovoy enough. It has been the most incredible experience of our lives.
Firstly, I so was impressed with the measures the team took to ensure we had a special honeymoon and birthday (my partner had his birthday here). The food has been incredible and the lodges absolutely beautiful all recommended and sorted by the team
But the tour - not only have we seen every animal we were told we had a chance of seeing but we have been close up. The pictures are unreal. I am convinced this is something that Lovoy achieved that having seen the other companies out on the drives they do not. He is no nonsense and keeps working to get the best view. He has an infectious laugh and big smile.
I cannot emphasise Lovoy’s skill enough. Keeping us safe, ensuring the experience is fantastic,answering all our questions- but also his eagle eye spotting of animals has been incredible. He would say we’ve been lucky when we saw baby leopards and rhinos but I think that is only a small part- his skill is the bigger factor at play.
I am left with the most distinct of feelings that the Serengeti is the most magical place on earth. And I know Lovoy and African Big Cats are a big part of that. So thank you.

Amazing Safari with African Big Cats Safaris!
Well, sometimes is really difficult to express with words the emotions, excitement as well as happiness for such an event like safari tour. Thanks to African Big Cats Safaris organization and people involved, all this factors proved to be at the highest level of professionalism, kindness and knowledge about their work, people, traditions and many other small things that make your experience even more beautiful. Our guide/driver Ernest and our Tour organizer Emmanuel were definitely at their best helping us with everything and sometimes beyond their responsibilities (they helped us find an accommodation in the very short time, since we were not happy with the one we found on our own). This was a private tour, worth its money since the quality of the lodges, food and guidance was really very high. We felt safe every step of the trip, and our driver was so knowledgeable about savannah, wild animals that we managed to see all kind of wild lives we could not even imagine. I would definitely recommend this company thanks to their dedication, professionality and passion they put in literally everything they provide for their guests. Tanzania should be proud of its people and beautiful countryside.
