Emanuel was amazing!
Emanuel was an amazing guide! I was not sure what to expect on my first safari but it so exceeded my expectations and was a trip of a lifetime. Emanuel was so attentive to all of our needs. Not only could he spot animals far in the distance he also has such a kind and caring personality. When a backpack was lost right before leaving he went back to the last stop and looked for it even though he was already done with our tour. I have returned home and recommended Emanuel to many of my friends. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Emanuel is superb-amazing-spectacular! He offered us a trip of a lifetime!
Emanuel was an amazing tour guide! His knowledge of the animals and their habitat was amazing. A big part of the African experience is finding the animals and learning about them.
Emanuel provided an excellent experience for my entire family. We saw more animals than I ever could have imagined. His knowledge of each animal was superb. His vision to know where the animals were and to spot them so far away made this a trip of a lifetime. He could spot animals so far away and then quickly drive us in position to have them literally come right up to the vehicle and cross in front of us. His kind, courteous, reliable manner is something to be admired. He enabled us to spot the big five; leopards, lions, elephants, black rhino, cape buffalo! Not to mention numerous other animals. I have already referred Emanuel to many friends back home. Emanuel is not only a wonderful tour guide but a wonderful person as well!

All phenomenal
The safari is great.
Tanzania is amazing, crater ngorongoro, the serengeti national park, lake manyara etc.
Out guide Enmanueli from the first day was very kind, polite and social.
Always very attentive to any need.
An excellent guide. Every day were very good safaris, he was always looking to find all the animals in the area, he had very well organized the day to day and always guaranteed incredible photos.
He worried that un each hotel that we stayed, everythings was to our liking. He also gave us security because he always took us to areas that he knew perfectly.
We never had any problems, neither in the countryside nor in the city.
In the end you realize that Enmanueli is a friend
An indescribable experience
Less than a month ago I came to enjoy my safari in Tanzania with my partner.
The country is magical and its people are nice with a big smile and a mambo in their mouths that I will never forget.
I was fortunate to have as a guide Emanuek that at the end of the tour he became one of us and a friend that I will always carry in my heart because he did everything he could to make it possible to leave with everything well squeezed in our head and our camera from which have been unrepeatable photos that without their help would not have been possible.
I am sure that if I come back one day it will be with him.
To all those who still doubt whether to go or not, do not do it and put feet in dusty there

It has been the best experience of my life.
Emmanuelle a great professional, in-depth knowledge of the fauna and flora of Tanzania, its peoples, tribes, traditions and customs.
The safari makes it so personalized and unique that it becomes unforgettable and you want to relive each day of safari.
Very, very recommendable.
Great professional, punctual, attentive, very good guide, knows where to find the best moments, incredible photos, is fun, respectful and speaks perfectly Spanish.
We recommend it without hesitation.
Thank you for all the great and good moments Emmanuelle, without your great pride and dedication. We would not have gotten those magnificent photos of the BIG FIVE.
You are a great professional and we laugh a lot.
Cool!!
5 stars!!

Perfect from beginning to end!
My trip to Africa spanned nearly 30 days beginning in Cape Town, then to Johannesburg, Nairobi, Victoria Falls, and ending in Tanzania. I was so fortunate that the last 10 days were with our exceptional guide, Emmanuel.
Emanuel was more than an experienced guide, he is a wise naturalist. Not only did he know the names and habits of every single animal and bird we saw, he knew the botanical names for every piece of flora and fauna. And the man has bionic eyes! We came to know we were always in for a real treat when he would slowly pull our land cruiser to a stop and peer quietly out the window. And then he would point and say "look right there… it's a female lion… it's a black rhino… it's a herd of elephants…" Then he would drive us closer, often getting within five feet the amazing animals we had traveled so far to see. Emanuel was more than a guide, he became a friend.
Our accommodations and food exceeded our expectations every step of the way. On our next to last night in Tanzania, I discovered that a couple in our group was celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary. I passed the word to Emmanuel, who apparently radioed back to the chef at our camp. That night the chef had prepared a beautiful cake, inscribed with their names, complete with candles, which the entire staff presented with a fabulous dance throughout the tents singing a cheerful African song. I am sure that is a night they will never forget. I know I never will.
I am longing to return to Tanzania and my first contact will be Emmanuel. Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!

Emanuel Made This Trip our Best Ever!
We are a retired couple in our early 60's who have traveled extensively. When booking a safari in Tanzania, the quality of your guide is critical to the experience. We could not have chosen better.
Emanuel has a passion for nature and the local culture that he shares with enthusiasm. His depth of knowledge about the wildlife is beyond impressive. We felt as if we were being guided on our 12 day adventure through this amazing habitat by one of the leading Tanzanian experts, and he happened to have a wonderful sense of humor as well.
Of all our trips in many parts of the world, this one was the most dependent on the quality of the guide. Fortunately for us, Emanuel made it our best trip ever.

Very good experience
We have made a honeymoon trip in July and it has been the best experience of our life. Enmanuel has been our guide and we have loved how he has treated us and his knowledge of the country. So we recommend anyone who wants to go on a safari to do it with African Big Cats Safaris.
