Best option for a comfort safari
The best option to do a Safari in Tanzania. Compared to other agencies we saw, we had the best car, very charming hotels (especially Eileen's in Karatu) and the food was spectacular. The price is very tight and the 5 days / 4 nights itinerary could not be more complete.
We were assigned a guide who spoke very good Spanish (no need to ask) and who took us excellently throughout the trip.
Courtesy details were not lacking either (wine during meals, hot food inside the parks and private car at no additional cost).
Special mention to Justine, Emmanuel and Endene who made it a magical trip. Without a doubt, we would repeat.
Super recommended! Many thanks!!

An agency that knew how to perfectly understand our desires and make us live an unforgettable moment
We had called on almost 10 travel agencies for our 12-day honeymoon in Tanzania-Zanzibar, French agencies and African agencies.
Initially, I preferred French agencies because I thought I had more security. But African Big Cats was able to meet our expectations perfectly, with Justice first, which was very patient in adapting to the many changes in the implementation of the program.
We then had a great time with Valence, our French-speaking guide who followed us from our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport to that of Arusha for our departure to Zanzibar. We had the pleasure of meeting Emanuel, the boss, who came to meet us at Arusha airport, and we felt all the seriousness and sympathy of this agency.
There is of course the safari, but we also remember the encounters with the tribes. We thought we were on the show "Rdv en terre unknown"; the magnificent landscapes, the very large and comfortable lodges, and then our dream hotel at Zuri de Nungwi in Zanzibar.
I'm not used to posting a review, but the quality of our trip pushes me to write this totally positive comment. Thank you African Big Cat Safaris!

Our 5 day 4 night comfort safari was fantastic.
The accomodation every night was beautiful. Some of the best we stayed in in Tanzania.
Our guide was Friendly, and very knowlegable. He made sure we saw everything possible and were looked after.
I would definitely recomend this tour with Africa Big Catd Safari

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!

Awesome from start to finish
We did a Western Migration safari with African Big Cats June/July 2022. We found them due to great Trip Advisor feedback and right from the initial engagement they provided great advice helping us construct the right trip for our party. On arrival they were at the airport, and helped us settle in on the first day, including the owner personally meeting us and walking us through what to expect. All the hotels they booked for us were very friendly, providing lovely environments and great food/service. The highlight of the trip was our guide, Venance, who was just fantastic in terms of his knowledge and commitment to giving us the best experience. We saw so much, stuff you'll remember for a lifetime.

Wonderful safari!
We had a wonderful experience travelling with our guide Vennas and African Big Cats. In 5 days we went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Manyara and saw the amazing wildlife and nature of Tanzania. With Vennas’ experience we got to see things close up and he would answer all out questions. And travelling with a 12 year old and a 8 year old there were many questions!
Especially Serengeti and our stay at the heritage camp was pure magic!
Thank you so much!

Very professional and helpful
From the very beginning of our trip to the end we had excellent service. The guide provided us with lots of information and looked after us. He was also patient and diligent in searching for the more elusive animals. The hotels were good and the food was super, including the food provide for our midday meal whilst out in the national parks. All in all it was first class service and we highly recommend African Big Cats Safari.

Amazing, unforgettable experience which completely exceeded expectations!
Just back from a 4 day/5 night comfort safari and it was the trip of a lifetime! African Big Cats made everything so easy to book with quick and efficient communication from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and everything from airport pick-up to accommodation and meals were taken care of. Our guide Lord was fantastic, his knowledge and passion for safari was obvious and he really went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable - we saw so many animals and so many beautiful landscapes all thanks to him.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering a safari trip. I hope we can visit again some day!! Thank you!

Great communication, organization and flexibility
African big cats safaris is very well organized. Everything was communicated to us clearly and promptly before we left for Tanzania. Once we arrived they made sure we were prepared for the safari, letting us know what to expect regarding the accommodations and roads.
Our guide was wonderful, telling us about the different animals, how they live, and why they do the things they do.
The food was excellent. We had hot lunches almost everyday, compared to the box lunches most of the other tours had.
Finally, our guide was flexible with the last minute change we made to the itinerary to go see the Olduvai gorge museum.

We would do it again in a heartbeat
We had a wonderful time with African Big Cats Safaris. On our two day safari to Tarangire and Norongoro Crater we saw about 25 different kinds of animals. Our guide Obedi was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced in regards to animal behavior, so that we got very close to many of them and had and unforgettable experience. The lunches and the lodge were excellent as well.
