Excellent service by Chanelle and the Wayfairer team
It was our first time in a Safari trip and we were very thoroughly impressed by the service of the Wayfairer and AlikaAfrica team. Everything went as planned and we wished we had more time in the Ikeliani Lodge which was an absolute dream

The most amazing experience
We booked a 6-day private safari with Colours Africa for our honeymoon and it was the best part of our stay in Tanzania. Everything was very well organized, we just had to know what time to be ready in the morning and they took care of all the rest.
The lodges they picked for us were a dream, so beautiful, very clean and with very nice staff. All meals are included and the food is great, we loved that it was always local dishes. We'd have lunch at the conservation area everyday, the driver would have a picnic prepared and we liked that he never used disposable containers.
Last but not least, our driver, Benjamin, was just the best! spending a full week with him, we were afraid it would be awkward, but he is so nice and so much fun. He told us many intersting facts about animals and Tanzania, he is very experienced in game drive and knows the roads within the parks as the palm of his hand.
Thank you for making such a special life experience happen. We totally recommend them and they're totally reliable for organizing such kind of activity from abroad.

Perfect Safari - Total recommendation for African Big Cats Safari!
African Big Cat Safari organized us a perfect safari week!
From start, picking us up at the airport, till the end everything was above and beyond our expectations.
Customer Service
Great and fast email support during booking and payment process.
On the first and last evening the Operations Manager Mr. Emanuel stopped by to discuss expectations and intinery making sure everything is aligned. On the last day he was asking for feedback, improvements and whether our expectations have been satisfied.
Guide
Our private guide Dominick picked us up from the airport and gave us a warm welcome. He was with us all time and made sure that everything was perfect for us and we didn’t had to worry about anything. He was very knowledgable about the wildlife, area, traditions and everything we asked about. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide.
We felt save and in good hands all the time. Thanks!
Food
We appreciated the “Hampa” fresh cooked meals for lunch during the game drives. It surely depends on the accommodation, but we were always provided with good and traditional foods at lodges and tented camps.
Accommodation
We booked a semiluxery safari with lodges and tented camps. Especially the tented camps are ideal to experience the wildlife and you still don’t miss out on anything.
Overall we can highly recommend African Big Cat Safari for your safari experience.

Knowledgeable
We loved this 4 day 3 night safari. Baraka was an amazing guide! He was so informative and made sure to answer all the questions we had for him. He asked us what animals was our favorite and tried his hardest for us to see them! We ended up seeing The Big Five with all of our days combined. Baraka was so patient as we took our pictures and made requests. Another stellar part for me was the vegan options! Before I embarked on the safari they asked what exactly a vegan diet entailed. For every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) I was prepared a separate, vegan friendly option, or made sure there was enough portions of veggies and rice for me. Chef James made sure I knew what I could have and I knew I was safe as he said things like “this has eggs and cheese so I prepared this for you instead”. Besides fitting my dietary restrictions everything was delicious! So flavorful. This was a great experience and I highly recommend!

Train ticket assistance - responsive and helpful!
We did not have time to go on a safari with Adept on this trip, however Elizabeth helped us book tickets on the Express train when we were unable to open our own M-Pesa account from the United States. Elizabeth was extremely responsive, easy to communicate with, and very helpful. Given the prompt and thorough assistance we received, I’m convinced that any tour offered by this company would run smoothly - they clearly take care of their customers. Highly recommend this agency!

With the fantastic Suricata Safaris team on a 5-day group camping-safari
Fantastic trip. Everything was under control, and we got to see many different animals and got very close to them. Both food and camping surprised us very positively. Our guide Mandela was very nice and competent and our chef James was also really good and nice. All in all a very good safari, with nice people. Would definitely recommend.

Unique emotions with an amazing staff
We spent 4 unforgettable days! Despite a misunderstanding with the luggage on the first day, all the staff were available and solved the problem very quickly.
Freddy, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to him we spotted all the BIG FIVE and had close encounters with lions, cheetahs and many other wonderful animals.
Daniel, who waited for us at the end of the Safari, was very kind and so was Dennis, who welcomed us at the airport.
Good food, both the "packed" one and the one served in the various lodges/campsites for breakfast and dinner.
I recommend everyone to have a Safari experience in Tanzania with this team.

Flawless Trip. Everything was PERFECT!
My wife and I have always wanted to do a Safari. I typically plan the trips we go on. I wasn't comfortable doing this to Africa. There were so many unknowns to me. We started with three different travel services and settled on Wayfairer. We made the right decision. We were gone for 14 days and didn't have a single problem.

Amazing Experience
Wonderful safari experience with Mandela as our guide and James as our main chef! We saw almost every animal we could have hoped for, and more. Mandela was extremely knowledgeable, took great care of us, and was lovely to spend five days with. The camping and food exceeded our expectations. I'd recommend preparing for one cold camping night, lots of dust (bananas are helpful) and establishing a WhatsApp connection with someone from the company before leaving home to help coordinate your pick-up. I hope anyone going on this safari has an incredible time and is thoughtful and respectful of the people, animals and landscape. Thank you, Suricata, Mandela, and James for a once in a lifetime experience!
