We hiked Kilimanjaro with BigCats Safaris and couldn't be happier with our choice. The care we recived from our guides and the porters was incredible. At the end of the day, they brought all of us to the top. They made these days really special and we would always choose BigCats Safari again. Asante Sana!

Very reliable operator, great experience, perfect service and communication
We booked a 7D/7N Comfort Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara as well as visited the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes near Lake Eyasi (not part of the standard offer, but highly recommended). The safari was perfectly organised, we had a great guide (Ernest) with enormous knowledge of zoology and ornithology, a good vehicle and a well thought-through tour. All accomodation was really nice: spacious rooms, good service and tasty food, everything clean and all well functioning. The communication with African Big Cats Safaris was very good and fast in preparation of the trip. In all respects, I can only recommend to travel with African Big Cats Safaris. And of course, I can also only recommend travelling in Tanzania, it's a lovely country, really friendly, helpful and welcoming people, and definitely a wonderful experience one has to have had at least once in a lifetime.

Everything we hoped for and more!
From arrival to departure, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our tour guide Obedi and the rest of the professional staff at African Big Cats Safaris made our trip an experience of a lifetime. Don't look any further. You will NOT be disappointed booking your Tanzania Safari with African Big Cats.

Loads of similar operators offering the same tour, for similar price. V happy with the outcome.
Communication all the way through was good. Despite being expensive, ABC were comparable to loads of other operators. Lovoi our guide really made the experience - excellent English, loads of knowledge, knew exactly what we wanted to see and got us some amazing sights - at times in the Serengeti we were the only trick, which made us feel really special. Kids were amazed with what they saw and he was able to answer all their questions.
He made the tour such a great adventure, can't rate him highly enough.

Very professional and flexible with attention to details.
We recently embarked on a journey with African Big Cats, and it was truly a memorable experience! As a family of four (myself, my wife, and our two boys), we were keen to experience the diverse adventures Tanzania has to offer. We were thoroughly impressed with the variety of activities available through the tour operator, not just the conventional Jeep safari.
Communications: From the start, the team was responsive and accommodating, ensuring all our queries were promptly addressed.
Service: One of the highlights was the flexibility they offered. We loved that they catered to our desire for more than just a Jeep safari, incorporating hiking, cycling, and canoeing into our itinerary.
Value for Money: Given the diverse activities we engaged in and the overall quality of service, we found the package to be of excellent value.
Reliability: Throughout our safari, the itinerary was followed meticulously. There were no unexpected hitches, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable.
The Tour Itself: The Jeep safari was beyond words. Tanzania’s landscapes and wildlife are mesmerizing, and experiencing them up close was a dream come true. The canoeing segment was also a highlight for us. It was serene and allowed us to connect with nature in a different, intimate way.
A quick note for those passionate about hiking: while we had a pleasant stroll during our tour, if you're looking for a more extended hike, it might be worth discussing the duration with the operator in advance. Similarly, for our French-speaking friends, just double-check on the fluency of the guide if that's essential for your experience.
In conclusion, our safari with African Big Cats was an adventure we’ll cherish for years to come. The sheer beauty of Tanzania coupled with the operator’s excellent service made this trip unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a unique and comprehensive safari experience.
Excellent company
We recently used ABCS for our safari holiday. It was amazing - our two boys loved it. Nathan, our guide was fabulous, we saw everything we wanted to see and more. We are coming back next year.

Fantastic Experience from start to end; great guide and great accomodations
We've booked with African Big Cats Safaris (directly through Internet) for a 5 days safari. Everything from start to end went perfectly well: during the booking we've had the opportunity to change some of the proposed lodges. We've been met at the airport with our driver, we got to see and talk to the Manager of the company before starting the Safari: everything was perfectly well organized from day 1 to day 6. Our guide (Gerhard) was great, very kind and extremely professional. Thank you again Gerhard.
And the Safari itself was an amazing experience, from the quality of the lodges booked, to the variety of wildlife and nature that we've managed to see with our guide. The car is well maintained and offers all possible comfort for this kind of trip.
I can only fully recommend this company!

Amazing safari with super experienced guide
We had an amazing time on our safari with African Big Cat Safari. We booked a 5 night/6 day tour that included Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Our guide Kareem was great. Very experienced with extremely good knowledge on all animals ok safari. From birds and reptiles to mammals, he knew them all and had great facts and stories about them. He was also super fun and we very much enjoyed our time! Would definitely book again.
