Best of the best
Amazing experience. Everything was great. The guide/driver Endeni was professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and full of sense of humor.
The lodges were outstanding. The safari was stunning. We felt as if we are on the national geographic channel. The vehicle was spacious and luxurious.
The communication with Justice prior to the trip was fluent. He is very professional, responsive and answered all the questions we had. All the information he gave us, was found to be accurate.

The one and only
Our Safari with African Big cats Safari was just perfect and even exceeded our expectations.
It started with a very great communication around the booking and a tailor made offer by Justice to Lodi picking us up at the airport and spend a 4 day Safari with. Lodi made our trip truly special and we made memories that we will never forget. Lodi always went the extra mile for us to see all animals, take the time to explain us about nature and animals. We highly recommend African Big cats Safari, they are the one and only!!
Also the accommodations that African Big cats Safari works with are amazing, great food, local experience, great service.
Thanks to the whole team of making our trip unforgettable! Thanks for putting your customers at the heart of everything you do.

Friendly, experienced, knowledgeable
Even though I am not in the habit of writing reviews, we had such an amazing experience with BigCats - and it was such a hassle finding a tour operator online - that I am happy to help future safari goers!
We went on a 5 day safari, visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangine, Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro. We opted for the private safari.
I would strongly recommend people to book a private safari since you will have the option to choose when to linger and when to go, have lunch and so on.
All was very well organized, we were picked up from the airport and driven around over the next 6 days. Our guide was very friendly and really knowledgeable when it came to the animals and information about them. He explained all the habitat and behavioral things to us.
During the entire trip everything was very well organized, food, drinks and hotels.
We would definitely book a safari through Big Cats again!

Best tour we could have dreamed about
We had the best safari trip with African Big cats safari. We had been picked up by our guide from the airport and then the dream begins. We arrived in an amazing lodge with a swimming pool (outpost lodge) and Emmanuel explained to us the program. We did one day in Manyara, 2 days in Seregenti, 1 day in Ngonrogoro and 1 day in Tarangire. Everything was perfect from the beginning till the end. The campsites were incredible (we spent 2 nights in Migombani were we have been upgraded and 2 nights in a public camp in Serengeti). Our guide Lord was just the best: he wasn’t following other cars as he had no maximum kilometers. He knew his job perfectly and we could feel he was really passionate by what he was doing. He manage to show us all the Big 5 and so much more. We were almost all of the time by ourself and without other jeeps, and it felt amazing. The chef Panga was also perfect, it’s the best food we ate in 3 weeks in Tanzania. Both Lord and Panga were really nice, interesting and perfect people to travel with. It was really difficult to choose a good company among all the different choices but for sure African Safari Big cats was the best. We cannot recommend more, and we will come back next year to organise à Kilimanjaro trek with them. Thanks again for everything!

Great organization providing an incredible experience.
We decided to go on safari in Tanzania and were looking for a tour operator. After contacting several operators, we decided to chose African Big Cats Safaris as they were reactive and provided us a detailed summary of the safari trip including information to know before arriving in Tanzania. The detailed programme included location and accommodations for our 6 days safari. After we arrived in Arusha we met Emanuel who friendly welcomed us and explained the safari tour to come (debriefing).
Our guide was Andrew who we can only recommend. He met all our expectations and spotted all the animals we wanted to see. It would not have been the same without Andrew as our guide.
We chose a comfort safari formula (mid range) and all the accomdations were perfect, really clean and a great service! A special plus for Serengeti and the Heritage tented camp accommodation.
Overall, we can really recommand African Big Cats Safaris who managed to provide us an unforgettable experience.

The whole tour was simply amazing.
This trip was simply amazing and there are no other words to describe it! The whole trip was very well organized because it got better day by day! And a very important point to mention is that we very so lucky with our guide Endeni who was so amazing and was so excited to show us the animals, explain everything about them and answer all our questions about the animals and the Tanzanian culture! Our trip included cultural activities which were so interesting to discover and the hikes were amazing because we could see the beautiful nature of Tanzania. Thank you very very very much African Big Cats for this amazing experience which will remain forever in our minds!

Professional, friendly, flexible team
We went on a private safari with my wife with African Big Cats Safari in the August of 2021. Private tours are surely more expensive, but you don't have to adapt to a group and can enjoy the safari to your own rhythm and with the extra comfort of having the jeep only for you .
Emanuel and his office team were very professional in organizing this 4 nights/5 days tour for us, being flexible in tailoring the programs to our wishes and being very informative in choosing the best parks and accommodations up to the season, the wildlife and also our budget. We have seen really a lot of the nature, all kind of animals including the big 5, and experienced fantastic , unique moments , "short stories " of the wildlife like a lioness attacking a giraffe and many more, that we will always remember. Our guide, Lordi, is a superb man: a truly professional guide who knows literally everything about wildlife , flora and fauna of the parks and people and society of Tanzania. We had interesting, informative conversations and we learned really a lot from this great man .
An african safari was on our bucket list, and I feel very lucky for having found African Big Cats Safari and Lordi because thanks to them this wish came true, and we experienced a safari much over what we could ever expect ! Thank you African Big Cats Safari, thanks a lot Lordi !

Amazing safari experience with a great guide and a good itenary
I booked a 6 days/5 nights safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara for my parents and me. From the beginning, staff of African Big Cats Safaris was very helpful and tried to find the best itenary for our expectations. For any request we had they had a solution and when we were in need of any information they provided us with that information quickly.
When it comes to the Safari itself, we had the best experience we could imagine. From the pick up at Kilimanjaro Airport to the end, we enjoyed a well organized, smooth and informative trip. Our guide was not only a driver but an expert in explaining flora and fauna of the different national parks we went to as well as a very open person that also liked to talk about other topics beyond the aforementioned.
After all that pandemic issues, it was a much-needed distraction. At all times, we felt very comfortable, especially, again, thanks to our professional and attentive guide.
Thank you very much!
