Magnificent experience
I chose African Big Cats Safaris after speaking with other 6 Companies on safaribookings. First of all, the guy from their office, Justine Justice was verry serious and very prompt with all our questions and advised us with diferent itinerary and price categories to the final itinerary ( 1 night Arusha, 1 Tarangire, 1 Ngorongoro, 2 Serengeti). At the airport waited for us our guide Lord, the best you could get for such an experience. We are a family of 4 , 2 adults and 2 kids, 16 and 10 yo … Lord is a very nice guy, speaking English very well, but also French and Spanish, very polite, punctual, very educated and well informed about many subjects. He implicated kids in many discussions. The car was in good conditions, found it washed every morning, with a lot of cold water, juices, even bear and wine in the fridge…Lord was restless and managed to show us the big five , beetween tens and hundreds of zebras,impalas wilderbeest,girafes, elefants,hipos, hyenas, jakals, mangustes , even a crocodil….so, for us was a complete experience, we strongly recomand African Big Cats Safary and especially their guide Lord.

The experience if a lifetime
We have been on a fantastic safari with African Big Cats Safaries. Tarangire, Ngoronhoto and Serengeti were the magnificent places our safari has taken us to visit. To be very honest words are not enough to express our gratitude to both African Big Cats Safaris and to our guide Lord! We could never dream to see so much but for sure we could not expect a better guide! Lord, our guide, raised the bar so much … not only a very good professional but also a very knowledgeable individual regardless of the topic! Sure you expect the guide to know the places around and to know about the animals, but you don’t expect to meet someone that could very well be your business colleague or your good neighbor with whom you want to enjoy a barbecue during the weekend. We have enjoyed every minute spent with Lord and benefitted to the full from his passion for the job! One lion family, one ghepard or one pack of elephants was not enough! He was not into box ticking, Lord was all about delivering an experience that we will not forget (11 years old son, 16 years old daughter, my wife and I). We saw plenty of animals, big and small, solitary or social, but it was so much more. As Lord would say, it is not good to give up, so we didn’t! Therefore if you are considering a safari than African Big Cats Safaris, Lord and the team (Justine Justice eid a great job in planning the entire trip) will most probably raise to your expectations and deliver a bit more!

Our tour guide - Lord - was the best tour guide ever (in my humble unbiased opinion).
My friend and I went on a 4 day, 5 night safari with African Big Cats and I have only amazing things to say about this experience - literally not a single thing I would change. The person who coordinated our trip, Justice, was extremely helpful, personable, patient, and responsive with all of our questions leading up to and during our trip. Our tour guide, Lord Lugard, aka 'the Lord' ;), was the best tour guide ever (I've never been on another safari to compare, but I know for a fact that my opinion is unbiased and he is truly the best lol). Our guide had an answer to every single one of the hundreds of questions I asked him, plus tons more knowledge to share about the animals, the land, different tribe's cultures and much more. He was a sniper finding the animals & recreated the animal's sounds in order to get some of them to look in our direction for a great photo. We saw ton's of different kinds of animals, learned about all different kinds of plants, and the landscape was absolutely breathtaking throughout the entire trip. All of the lodging where we stayed was beautiful & had great meals for breakfast and dinner. & Lord always had the car stocked up with waters, & drinks for us. I would highly recommend Big Cats Safari for all your safari trip plans. 10/10, 5 stars.

Excellent planning and exectution for our first safari
This was our first safari and from the beginning Big Cats Safaris was excellent. When deciding which operator to use, Justice was quick to respond and answer all our questions and very accommodating in designing a custom 10 day package to meet our desires. We decided to go with Big Cats Safaris because of their professionalism, competitive price and their size. We had some vehicle issues (a flat and dead battery), which is to be expected once you do a day drive on the safari roads! But the team was quick to solve them without us losing any time on our safari. We could of got another jeep but Emanuel our guide was quick to fix the issues in the evenings. The accommodations suggested were comfortable and the food was very good. Emanuel was fantastic! He was extremely friendly, personable and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him and Big Cats Safaris.
During the safari, we saw the big5 including the rare black rhino! We had a great experience seeing more animals than we expected and closer than I had thought was possible. Hoping we get the opportunity to return in the future and if so we will go with Big Cats Safaris.

Lord was the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. He was so fun and knew all of the best spots
Big cats safari is great because it is private and completely planned around your schedule and preferences. We had the absolute best time with our guide, Lord! The animals were right next to our jeep and it was truly the experience of a life time! Justice made planning the trip so easy and we are so grateful for the both of them! We also did a hot air balloon over the Serengeti which was the most beautiful and breathtaking experience ever! Thank you so much big cat safari for a trip I will never forget! I will recommend this company to everyone!

Beyond our expectations
My partner and I went on our first safari this year in June. We chose African big cats as we wanted something more private and they were the most helpful from the few companies we contacted by email. Everything went so smoothly from the organization till the end. We had specific requests prior and during the safari and they always accommodated it without any problem and went beyond to make sure to fill our needs.
Justice was our first contact and was absolutely brilliant. Our guide Emmanuel was very friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and welcome at all times.
The lodges/camp the company picked for us to stay were always very good from all perspectives
I can say African big cats went above our expectations in terms of customers service and the experience itself. I would confidently recommend them to any of my friends and family.

Wonderful adventure
We had a wonderful time on our safari with our wonderful tour guide Emmanuel (recommended). We were able to book the safari without too much hassle and for a reasonable price (compared to other operators). The tour guide managed to show us all the good stuff, wonderful animals and many details about their lives.
We did believe that for a tour of 5 days 4 different areas was a bit much to explore. This was our own choice, but for others I would recommend Ngorongoro Crater for sure, and to a lesser extend also the Serengeti.
