Unforgettable Safari Experience with Exceptional Service!
We recently went on a safari in Tanzania, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! The agency was professional and well-organized, and we highly recommend them to any tourists looking for an authentic and exciting adventure in Tanzania.
A special shoutout to our guide and driver, Vincent, who was truly amazing. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the landscapes made the experience even more memorable. He was always well-prepared and drove safely, which was particularly important for us, especially after hearing about safety concerns with other companies. Thanks to Vincent, we were able to see an incredible array of animals, including black rhinos, lions, cheetahs, elephants, hyenas, buffalos, and so much more. We were very lucky with the wildlife, and Vincent’s expertise certainly contributed to our success.
The accommodations provided were nice and comfortable (good value for money). However, there were a few extra costs and activities that weren’t clearly outlined in the contract, which caused some inconvenience and unexpected expenses. We had to take some time to resolve these issues, but overall, it didn't take away from our positive experience.
One minor downside was that the vehicle wasn’t brand new, and unfortunately, the radio broke down on the first day, which made communication during the game drives a bit harder. Despite this, Vincent’s skill and experience helped us still get the most out of each drive.
Overall, we are thrilled with the safari and recommend this agency to anyone looking for a well-organized, enjoyable adventure in Tanzania!

Perfect Honeymoon Safari
We booked the Luxury package for our honeymoon. Look no further, this is the place to book.
- Booking experience and payment: excellent
- Route and arrival information: excellent
- Lodge selection: excellent
- Guide: excellent. We had Claus, who was fantastic. We trusted him 100% and he made sure to make everything possible we were looking for. He also found all the animals we wished to see.
- Ability to see all the animals on this tour: Flawless, everything we talked to our guide to see certain animals he somehow made it possible.
- Our guide was super invested in making it the best honeymoon possible. He helped immensely with a hot air balloon surprise safari and surprise sunset drinks, making it a 16 hour day for him.
- Trust that the company is always available and taking care of our experience 24h per day: 100%
- Overall experience: Absolutely amazing and lifetime memories made for me and my wife
We can only highly recommend the hot air balloon ride as an add on. The price is steep, but we will never forget this really high quality experience.

Unforgettable Safari
We booked a 6-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris. It’s important to note that the first day is considered an arrival day, so the actual safari includes 5 days of game drives.
Our journey took us through the stunning national parks of Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Tarangire. Staying at the Intimate Camp in Serengeti was a highlight – sleeping in the park with hyenas roaming near the tent at night was unforgettable. The lodges were very clean, and the staff was always friendly and helpful.
The visit to the Maasai village was interesting and provided insight into their culture, but the significantly overpriced souvenirs left a slightly sour taste. Despite this, learning about the Maasai lifestyle was fascinating, though it's advisable to negotiate when buying souvenirs.
Our guide Lovoi was amazing! He was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we learned a lot about the wildlife and even saw the Big Five – a major highlight of our safari!
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, despite minor disappointments like the high souvenir prices at the Maasai village. We highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris!

Second trip with African Big Cats: always wonderful!
Amazing trip!! For the second time my girlfriend and I booked a safari in Tanzania. Same tour operator we had last year (African Big Cats), same guide (Karim). Excellent organization and a very good guide who has great knowledge of nature and animals, as well as excellent ability in driving and positioning the jeep during sightings. We highly recommend traveling with them because it's really worth it!

Big Cats Safaris are amazing!
This is the most breathtaking experience me and my wife has had, and that is thanks to our guide Endeni and Aftica Big Cats Safari. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived in Tanzania, and each and everyone from Big Cats deserves the best, Naomi, Emmanuel, Rhingo, and Endeni!
Endeni was our guide and was so knowledgable and kind. I can gurantee he is the first 7 star guide in the world.
I cannot recommend Big Cats Safati enough. They have given me and my wife a memory for life.

They are very friendly and experienced.
Being in Tanzania is an unforgettable trip and African Big Cats is an indispensable part of this trip. Before our trip, we communicated about details of our itinerary and accommodation smoothly. During our trip, our guide Venance is also friendly and experienced, so we managed to see big 5 in Tanzania and there is no regret.

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari: Serengeti Wonders and Ngorongoro's Majesty
My family and I recently embarked on a 7-day safari adventure through Tanzania, exploring the breathtaking Serengeti and the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater. We witnessed a breathtaking lion pride hunt. The guide is very professional, who helps us collect all the "big five".
