Unique experience!!
Unique experience! African Big cats safari team has a great communication and management. Since the start they took care on meeting our expectations and make our safari a unique experience. Big thanks to Emmanuel!! We booked the "5 days safari - confortable", and the lodges were very good, clean and confortable, and the food was great. I would like to specially thanks our guide Endeni, he is a very experienced guide with a very deep knowledge and respect of wild life, nature, ecosystems and environment. He shared lots of interesting insights and made sure that we see all the animals very close and in the most special places, including the big 5, ensuring that animals weren't disturbed. He is very polite, nice and shared with us lots of insights about Tanzania's culture, which was really interesting to get to know better the country. On the last day he accompanied us on a tour around Arusha and local food place which was excelent.
We had the best time ever!
Fully reccomend this safari team!!
Thanks so much Emmanuel and Endeni!!

Great Experience, very well organized - totally recommended
We booked a 5-day safari with African Big Cats. We started in Arusha. The first lodge was great. The food was super tasty and the service staff was always eager and helpful. Emmanuel came the night before the safari to explain the itinerary and answer all our questions. The next morning we were picked up at the agreed time. We had a fantastic day in Tarangire Park. We were able to see many elephants and even a leopard. The next day we went to Ngorogoro. There are also many animals and beautiful viewpoints. The camp in the Serengeti was another highlight. Our driver Lordi was always ready to answer all questions and fulfill every wish. More than expected. We were completely satisfied with the organization prior, during and after the trip. The accommodations are very clean and well maintained. The food could not have been better. During the day we were served with super tasty lunch boxes and water/drinks.

Traveling with a man who knows his country, its history and nature, and will joke around a lot!
When we booked with ABCS, we had no idea what to expect. But let me assure you: this locally organized and operated company (which was important to us, no foreign investor middle-man) will make you feel very special and give you a tour you won’t forget!
We traveled for almost 5 days with Endeni, who knows everything there is to know about Tanzania, nature and the wildlife. He’ll take care of you when you need to mark your territory in the wild and the African road massages were the best ! (You’ll get it once you’ve been there ;) ). We also talked a lot about life and family as it works in our country (Switzerland) and Tanzania. Very interesting exchange with a good new friend! Also, Endeni and the other guides are in constant contact to each other in order to find the best spots with the rarest animals all the time on your safari. You’ll be in great hands and are up for the best possible experience.
The company is very reliable, answers quickly and the money transfer worked out perfectly. The accommodations are all clean, the food is very good and whenever there are potential dangers (animals) near your sleeping site you’ll be accompanied by Massais to your room. You’ll be safe all day long.
All in all: highly recommend!
More than I dreamt of
Truly amazing wild trip. I got all that I dreamt of and more in the company of Panga, best cook of Afrika, and Venance, driver, guide who became a friend. I ll be back

Perfect
We highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris. Our trip was super last minute (we booked few days before flying to Tanzania) but Justice was very responsive and adapted the program as per our requests.
Our guide, Emmanuel spoke fluent French and several other languages. He was very knowledgeable, he taught us not only about the animals but also about the history of the country, the politic, the culture. We learned a lot. He was always in a good mood, even when we were late in the morning (meaning, everyday).
The safaris was very well organized, everything went very smoothly, the hotels were all amazing and the food was good!
We loved our trip with African Big Cats. It is one of the most beautiful trip we've done, if not the most beautiful one. Our only regret is that we were not well equipped for the photography. We should have rented a huge zoom to be able to take amazing pictures of all the animals we saw.

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
