Amazing experience with an amazing guide
My wife and I had an unforgettable 5-day safari tour, and it was all thanks to our lovely guide, Lordigald, and African Big Cats. Upon our arrival to Arusha, we met up with Emanuel and were thouroughly briefed before departure.
In the past my wife always been very hesitant about going on a safari tour due to safety concerns, but my wife can honestly say that she felt very safe and secure throughout the whole trip, and she cannot wait to give my future children the same experience. By that time, I truly hope that African Big Cats and Lordigald, who has been the most wonderful and dedicated tour guide, will be available to give us another experience of a lifetime.
Thank you so much for an incredible adventure.

Couldn't have wanted more.... Big 5, check!
Our experience with African Big Cats Safaris was fantastic, from start to finish!
I doubt it would have been possible to have had a better experience with another tour provider, of which there are many to chose from, so we can 100% recommend 'ABC' Safaris for anyone looking to make a booking. Rest assured you will be looked after and given the best possible chance of finding the animals you are looking for - and even ones you weren't! The itinerary was great and delivered perfectly, and the accommodation wonderful, no dramas, Hakuna Matata!!
Our guide 'Herbert' met us at Kilimanjaro airport, with a welcoming 'Jambo' (hello) and smile, then showed us to the Toyota Land Cruiser we would become very familiar with over the course of the week! Herbert was amazing, he made our trip so special, his knowledge and experience is incredible, and his eyesight miraculous! We learned a lot about Tanzania, the parks and the animals.. a lot of which we would not have spotted without him. Even while driving the vehicle he would point out animals we couldn't see despite looking! He ensured we saw the 'big 5' and many. many more. Herbert allowed us to go at our pace, whether that was early or late starts / finishes, when to take breaks, how long to stay looking at an animal or move on to find something new..but would also share his advice and suggestions based on his experience and knowledge. Asante sana, Herbert!!!

Knowledgeable , kind and just amazing
The value for money is there. All the lodges we went to were top quality. We chose to do a private tour due to the pandemic. Our guide knew exactly where to take us in order to see the animals, which he managed perfectly as we got to see all of the big 5 and a lot more. He was explaining about the animal behaviour and you could listen to this man for hours. He also knew a lot about the vegetation in the various national parks we went. Also the guys from the office were very helpful especially Justice who went above and beyond to accommodate our every need in order to make the trip memorable and Emannuel was very informative at the welcoming meeting and the proceedings just before the safari started . Would highly recommend bigcat safari tours and you should ask for Lordlugard Peter Mwacha as your driver/guide

Great experience, highly recommended!
Simply great experience, very well organized. The team did everything they could to make us feel at home while in Tanzania. Starting with planning the trip, they will propose an itinirary based on your time, they are very quick in answering any questions and they are open for any adjustments which you might need.
Our guide Endeni did an outstanding job of locating and showing us all the animals. The car was very comfortable with free drinks available at all times. The hotels they provided were nice and comfortable.
We highly reccommend African Big Cats Safaris for you next trip! They make the trip very easy and memorable!
Brilliant Experience! Couldn’t have asked for more!!
I was looking at the pictures of our Safari yesterday and it took me back to what I now see as an experience of a lifetime.
African Big Cat Safari went above and beyond to make our trip very special and memorable, from multiple sightings of the big 5, always taking care of us to preparing the most exquisite meals every day, they did it all.
From the start, Justice created a package just for us, he almost felt like a friend of ours in Arusha. He helped us with all queries and was relentlessly there for us throughout the trip available for every help.
Endeni welcomed us at the airport with the biggest smile, always made us laugh on his drives and is an amazing spotter. His passion for wildlife and knowledge of the entire terrain was amazing.
Panga, our chef, is magic, we still remember the food he made for us, from soups and pastas to ‘Ugali’ and his special chicken. He always said ‘Karibu’ with a big smile on his face. It was like a mother’s love mixed with Tanzanian home-made cuisines.
Choose them for your safari! They are awesome!!
Asante Sana Big Cat African Safari

A perfect safari experience!
We were in contact with the company for the first time a year ahead of our trip, and the quick replies and great help we received from that point made us choose African Big Cats. They were also the most flexible to our needs and changes in plans, and the price also hit a sweetspot in value. The plans and itineraries we got were very clear and thourough and changes were put in along the way.
We chose a four day safari incl Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Serengeti. We would add a day in Serengeti if we could do it again, and if we had to skip one park it would be Lake Manyara. We got to see the Big Five and our guide Lordi did everything to make the best out of the days, and helped making my job as a photographer easy.
When we met the founder and head guide Emanuel, our contact person Justice and our personal guide Lordi they proved to care a lot about our experience and met up with us personally 2-3 times to check that everything was going well, and to debrief us when the safari was done.
It's a great and very serious company that takes good care of and value their customers!
Thank You!

Perfect
Booked African Big Cats for our honeymoon and it was one of the best decisions we have made as a couple.
From start to finish they were nothing but professional and attentive to us.
Everything about the week was absolutely perfect and our safari guide (Hubert) could not have been nicer. He loves what he does and is incredible at his job and is like a human binoculars
