Amazing safari, great guide and very well organized
I based the selection of the tour on the previous reviews and was not mistaken. From the very beginning the communication was very fluid, they answered all questions promtly and made suggestions on accomadation which resulted great.
As I could see from other quotations safari was reasonably priced. As suggested, we finally decided to stay at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja lodge and it's definitely worth paying a little bit more.
We took a private safari and I must give a special mention to our guide, Lordard. Very attentive and professional and made us feel easy and comfortable. Apart from this, he speaks good Spanish. The safari itself is a great experience, it's difficult to explain how impressive it was.
Thanks a lot for this wordenful experience!
A trip to refresh my soul and open my eyes.
I was in Tanzania last August and couldn't get it out of my mind. This year of isolation has taken it's toll on everyone--I needed
to return. I wouldn't consider traveling with any other tour company- African Big Cats Safaris is in a class by itself. Justice responded
promptly with an outstanding itinerary taking into account all of my requests. All questions were answered and a quote was provided.
And then Tanzania showed me all of her magnificence. With Elieza as my exceptional guide, the magic unfolded day after day. Over two hundred elephant in Tarangire National Park, a rare leopard sighting with her cub enjoying their prey in a tree, over 800 thousand zebra and
more than 2.5 million wildebeest on the Great Migration in the Serengeti, of course scattered across "the endless plain." Elieza has extensive knowledge of all flora and fauna and a great warmth and sense of humor. He informed all lodges of my vegetarian requests. But the warmth
and graciousness of the Tanzanians was what always remains in my heart. Asante sana , my rafiki!

An unforgettable experience and best Safari Trip ever!
We've decided very spontaneously going to Tanzania and got a few quotes from different companies. Justice from African Big Cats responded very quickly and everything was well organised.
Emanuel, our Guide has welcomed us very friendly at the airport and did take care of us during the whole Safari Trip. He has a great knowledge about the areas in the Parks, the Nature as well as all the animals. We really enjoyed our trip and had a lot of fun. Emanuel really has exceeded our expectations and we will never forget this incredible Trip in Tanzania! We couldn't have asked for a better Guide and can just recommend African Big Cats Safaris!

Amazing experience and service
Communication by email with Justice Justine was excellent. He made all the arrangements, and our guide Lorde met us at the airport and looked after us the whole time. Lorde made sure to meet all our expectations plus so much more. The trip was so thrilling and smooth that it seemed like a dream. I wanted to see calving season in Feb, which we saw to great advantage. I recommend this company most highly and hope to travel with them again.

Wonderful experience, great service
First of all the way people from African Big Cats Safaris replied to our first message made me continue to communicate with them until we reached to the package we were happy with. They were very perceptive to all our needs, and because we travelled in a year with many restrictions all our plans were flexible . Emanuel, our guide offered us a costumer service that should be given anywhere you travel. All the information he provided was so good. The accommodations they chose for us were also very nice. If or when we will travel again in Tanzania for sure we will choose their services again.

Amazing experience!
This was my first safari experience in Africa! Everything was wonderful! All agreements were fully implemented and more. A great guide who found animals in an incredible way. Nice car and camping. I was able to see all of the Big Five. Very prompt answers to all your questions. We managed to organize the safari as quickly as possible. Descending from Kilimanjaro after lunch the next day at 6.00 in the morning I was sitting in a safari car. I highly recommend the guys as honest, reliable and experienced safari organizers. I am delighted!!! Will definitely come back with children.

INCREDIBLE HONEYMOON EXPERIENCE
Phenomal experience from start to finish. I gave this experience 5 stars, but if I could, I would have given it 7 stars! I am very picky and I emailed more than 20 companies when trying to find the best honeymoon safari package to suit my needs, and from the moment I received my first communication from African Big Cat Safaris, I knew they were the company we wanted to go with. Emanuel, our tour operator and personal guide, is the most polite, patient and kind person. Everything was so seamless and I felt really at ease speaking with him. He provided support from beginning to the end with the planning, suggestions for locations and park visits, visa process, and even adapting some last minute changes. Now for the experience, from the moment Emanuel picked us up, he was extremely knowledgeable about every single thing in the area so even driving through the roads from one destination to another was so interesting! The best park was definitely Ngorongoro which we visited on the first day and Emanuel has incredible eyes- he could spot animals from a mile away and gave us so much information about them! We saw 4/5 of the big 5 before lunchtime on the first day of safari and he set up such a romantic lunch for us in the middle of the park with customized wine bottles! The beauty everywhere was incredible, and he really got us to the best angles to take all of our pictures. The highlight was when a huge lion looked at us and walked past the side of our car! A moment we will never forget! They are truly called African Big Cats for a reason! Both of the lodges were fantastic but OH MY GOODNESS, Emanuel prepared the MOST UNFORGETTABLE AND SPECIAL honeymoon experience for us at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja lodge. Everything from the personalized golf cart, to our private butler, and a private dinner under the stars, and breakfast at sunrise overlooking the lake! Emanuel pays attention to every detail to make your experience enjoyable. He really went above and beyond to make every moment of our safari special, and after having such a difficult year in 2020, this 3-day, 2-night safari was the best way to celebrate our honeymoon and end our year! My husband and I are already thinking of coming back to Tanzania to do another safari in Serengeti/Kilimanjaro climb with Emanuel, and I have shared his contact with several friends who want to go on safari soon! I 10/10 recommend Emanuel and his team, and a huge THANK YOU for everything.

Knowledgeable, professional and excellent to work with
From my initial inquiry until the drop off at the airport Emanuel was fantastic to work with.
Emanuel worked with me to customize our safari and everything went very smoothly and was planned perfectly. I was traveling with my 85 year old mother and he was helpful and attentive to her needs. As a guide he is simply amazing and has an uncanny ability to spot elusive animals!
Whether this is your first safari or you’re a safari pro, you’ll appreciate African Big Cats Safaris professionalism and attention to detail. This wasn’t my first safari so I knew what to expect, but Emanuel exceeded my expectations in every regard. He is very knowledgeable and both my mom and I enjoyed having him as our guide. I can’t wait to go back with my girlfriends and I’ll definitely use Emanuel for my next Tanzania adventure!
You have a lot of options when considering a safari in Tanzania, but you won’t go wrong with Emanuel and his team.
