very attentive
The safari was extra-ordinary, thanks to our guide Lody who did everything possible for us.
SafariBigCat is really the company to contact for a safari in Tanzania.
I recommend it with my eyes closed.

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!

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.

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!
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!

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.

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.

Perfect Safari with African Big Cats Safaris
All was perfect. Our guide was so nice and professional, we saw so many animals, it was perfect. Our cooker was so nice too. The two guys were very nice and take care of our group (we were 4 friends).
Justice helped us to organize the trip and the programme was respected.
Go with this agency, it was so great

Astonishing willlingness to make you spend a great journey
I loved our trip with African Big Cats Safaris. We first met Emmanuel. Great guy with a very positive energy. We spent one day with him. He's very attentive to all wishes you could have in order to satisfy his customers. He did not hesitate to stop when we wanted to. He investigated territories to find animals we could stare at. He gave us loads of informations about his country, the tribes and the animals. He even brought us to meet some Masai's tribe although it was unplanned. Alongside with Emmanuel we met Maulid. He's doing an internship with the company to become one of the french guides. Great young man. Very cautious and willing to learn. He stayed with us the whole trip and we even catch up on social medias afterwards.
Second guy we met and spent the rest of the week with is Lordi. We had so many good moments. He loves his country and this job and it's great to see that. Always scouting everywhere to find animals. He cares a lot about his guests. Very adaptative to our wishes. He knows so much about the animals and the areas. He deeply respects the animals. I really recommend these guys and the company to anybody willing to enjoy safaris. Not the biggest company and that is a quality. You will not feel like a wallet. These guys exert themselves for the adventure. I hope they will continue this way !!
Thank you again for this unforgettable memories.
