An exceptional Safari, delivering an unforgettable experience that we wholeheartedly recommend.
We've just returned from an incredible 7-day, 6-night comfort plus balloon trip Safari with African Big Cats, and it was truly remarkable. After extensive research into various safari companies and types of experiences, choosing African Big Cat Safaris proved to be the best decision in terms of value for money; they exceeded our expectations.
Their responsiveness and assistance leading up to the Safari were exceptional, and they handled every detail seamlessly. Obed, our guide, deserves special mention—he was phenomenal, catering to our every need with grace. From accommodations to meals, everything was flawless, leaving us with no complaints whatsoever.
The memories we've made during this Safari are beyond words, and we're incredibly grateful for them. Without hesitation, we would 100% recommend this company to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience.

The guide and the tour were both excellent we love every moment here. Thank you!!!!!
We did research before making our final decision with Big Cats for our anniversary trip and were so happy with our choice. The commutations before the tour were smooth giving me no doubt about the itinerary or their service. Lordy, our guide was wonderful and professional and was taking very good care of us all the way. We loved every moment of this tour and so wish to be back again. Best wishes to Tanzania and all.

Moses was very personable, adaptable and willing to make changes based on our wishes each day
We received excellent service from African Big Cats! From preliminary questions about their services to booking, payment, pre-trip meeting and awesome guide service. Having WhatsApp made it easier to communicate especially once we were in Africa. Moses, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable and very flexible. He kept the jeep clean and well stocked. He knew where the animals were most likely to be seen and when. Highly recommend him and Big Cats Safari!

memorable experience in my life with African bin Cats safaris!
African Big Cats safaris is always willing to help me from the booking to end of the journey. Our personal guide 'Khaled' tried to find all the wild animals as many as possible including big 5, and always be kind and considerate.
I had changed my vacation plan in last minute, thanks to African Big Cats Safaris, I was able to have unforgettable time in Kilimanjaro(Serengeti) !!!! Really appreciate for everything.
I can recommend African Big Cats Safaris 100%
Me and my wife climed Mt. Meru in a private tour. Our guide Lucas was the best for the job. African Big Cats Safaris organized everything perfectly. We can recommend this company to 100%. And don't hesitate to book your trip online from your home country!
Asante sana to Emanuel & Team

Amazing guides and very reliable tour organiser
We had an absolutely amazing trip with African Big Cats Safaris. We were two families (4 adults, 4 kids) travelling together and it was a 5 star experience from the beginning at planning stage to the very end. African big cat was a very reliable organiser and they gave us an unforgettable trip. The guides were sooo great!! Both the kids and the adults loved them! We saw all the animals we wanted and even more than that! So many great memories that will stay forever. Thank you African Big Cats!

Best choice for your African safari
From the moment we first made contact with African Big Cats we knew we’d picked the right company. Communication was fast and helpful and prices competitive. On arrival we were met and given a briefing before our pickup the following day. Our guide Moses was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and a superb safe driver. He found us a huge range of animals and birds that we’d never have spotted on our own and was always ready with an interesting fact or the correct name. The lunchtime picnics were a real treat.
The accommodation options were fabulous - highly recommend Simba Lodge next to Tarangire Park. The proximity to the animals and especially the elephants was a once in a lifetime experience. Marera Valley Lodge also a good choice with excellent food.
Highly recommended and would love to visit again one day.

Perfect safari, professional guide and warm-hearted businese manager
Our Itinerary:
Sep 29~Oct 3, 4 days safari from Arusha to Ngorongoro and serengeti. Roads in and fly out.
Business:
Manager Emanuel is very polite, warm-hearted.
We contact 4 or 5 safari company to check the availability, itinerary and price before leaving China. Only Emanuel make the whole safari plan for us and modify it according to our situations. For example, we only have 4 days to safari and need to go Zanzibar after it, Emanuel recommend us 2 best park to visit and select flying out to save time. Actually, this selection do help us save a lot of time, reduce our tiredness and help us have more chances to see the all "Big five".
He also help us a lot when we in Arusha. When we arrive in Arusha hotel the first day, we need to withdraw some cash, he drive us to the closest bank without hesitation which take him more than 1h on roads and missed another meeting. He always try his best to provide us convenience when we in Tanzania.
Guide:
Guide Ernest is very professional. He‘s good at communicating and speak English very well. We saw the all “Big five” in his help which include a cute baby cheetah. Ernest is older than all of us, he take good care of us in both physical and mental in 4 days safari.
Accommodation & Foods:
We select Hotel Melia in Ngorongoro and Lahia tented logde in Serengeti.
Melia is new and have a great view to see all the creator. We take lots of great photos in there. The foods in Melia is fresh and delicious.
Lahia tented lodge is best hotel we lived in Tanzania, which has seperated wooden house for each guests, and also have a great view to see the plain & stars. The foods in there is also good.
Conclusion:
Perfect safari!
We see many species of animals, beautiful sightseeings which are beyond our imagination by Big Cats Safari's help.
Before we leave, Emanueal told us their company is not too big nor too small. But we all think ther're the best.
If one company is not too big, It definitely have a group of original, warm-hearted staffs who are keen to help all the guest they meet.
If one company is not too small, It definitly have skilled guide who can help you enjoy your safari a lot.
How lucky we are to select this company when we visit Tanzania for the first time. Hope we have chance to meet your guys again!

First class operators that handled every detail and gave us the trip of a lifetime.
From start to finish African Big Cats could
not have been better! We started our planning being hesitant to use a tour group that was not based in the US and ended so thankful we did! African Big Cats designed a private 8 day safari and 4 days at Zanzibar. They handled everything from our arrival in Kilimanjaro to our departure from Kilimanjaro, including the flights and transport in Zanzibar. Our guide for the safari Lordlugard was fantastic. He greeted us at the airport. He was so knowledgable of the country and animals. We felt so well taken care of. Accommodations were wonderful. We were able to relax (hakuna matata) and let Lord and African Big Cats handle everything. What a wonderful experience! We recommend them 100%.
