Simply outstanding!
Let me start by saying I originally had no interest in going to Africa but my son and his fiance had made plans to go and invited us to join them. My wife has always wanted to go to Africa so in the interest of "Happy Wife / Happy Life" I expressed my whatever attitude and agreed to go!
Now I have to truly swallow my pride and admit I was wrong. Our experience with African Big Cats Safari turned out to be the best adventure I've ever been on!
In comparison, we've toured Australia and have stayed at several Caribbean resorts. We've been on a fantastic cruise just to name a few.
From start to finish our experience with African Big Cats Safari and our guide Festo was incomparable!
The staff at Big Cats and all of the lodges we stayed at treated us like royalty. Our accommodations were always very welcoming, safe and luxurious and not at all what I was expecting. All of the meals including the safari lunches were provided and were very good!
Every morning after breakfast our guide Festo would get our family group of 6 loaded up and off on another amazing adventure to a new destination. He was very professional and friendly and he could answer any questions you could come up with! We all had high hopes of what we might see and Festo cheerfully strove to exceed our wildest expectations! We had up close and personal experiences with all the big cats including multiple cubs nursing. A cheeta feeding on a fresh kill 15 feet from our vehicle. Lions lounging in the sun and shade on the ground, in trees and on top of boulders. We saw giraffe, hippos, rhinos, elephants and every possible African animal you can think of. The scenery, birds of all kinds and meeting the local Maasai people. I could go on and on with stories about how Festo, African Big Cats Safari company and the many lodges and locals went out of their way to provide a safe and totally unforgettable experience that I never could have imagined!
I know that there is so much more that I could say about this incredible adventure but I have to say thank you to African Big Cats Safari and to Festo for giving us the opportunity to make absolutely unforgettable memories!!!
If life ever presents me an opportunity to go back I would jump at the chance and do it with Big Cats and ask for Festo!
And yes, I was the guy who didn't want to go! 🙄

Thanks Severah🙏🏽
We didn’t know what to expect from a Tanzania safari, but Severah made it super easy. From the first call to the last day, everything flowed. Our guide was amazing, and the experience felt very real, not touristy. Also, Zanzibar was just… wow.

Exceptional Service and Flawless Organization
We spent 8 wonderful days traveling across South Africa, starting with three days in Cape Town. From the very beginning, Johan planned every aspect of our trip with great professionalism, patiently answering all our questions and making sure our expectations were fully met.
The result was a well-structured yet flexible itinerary where every detail was carefully organized. All we had to do was relax, enjoy the experience, and know that Johan and his team were always there if needed, while remaining discreet throughout the trip.
The accommodations, transfers, and safari experiences were all outstanding and exceeded our expectations. Exceptional service and excellent value for money. We would highly recommend Johan to anyone planning a trip to South Africa.

An unforgettable safari made extraordinary by Day 2 Day, Douglas and Julius
There simply aren’t enough words to describe how incredible this safari has been. It exceeded every expectation we had, and a huge part of that is thanks to Day to Day. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, with outstanding attention to detail and a truly personal approach that made us feel cared for every single day.
Our biggest thanks go to Julius and Douglas. Without them, this experience simply wouldn’t have been the same.
Douglas, our Kenyan guide, was absolutely exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife, his passion for nature, his professionalism, and his incredible ability to find animals made every game drive unforgettable. Thanks to him, we witnessed moments we could never have imagined and learned so much about Kenya and its wildlife.
Julius, our Maasai guide, brought something truly unique to this journey. His kindness, warmth, generosity, and the way he shared his culture and traditions with us made this experience so much deeper and more meaningful. He made us feel like part of his family, and getting to know him was one of the highlights of our trip.
We were fortunate enough to see an incredible number of animals, including the Big Five, but what made this safari truly unforgettable were the people who shared it with us. Douglas and Julius transformed an amazing trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, I couldn’t recommend Day to Day more highly. And if you’re lucky enough to have Douglas as your guide and Julius as your Maasai companion, you’re in the very best hands. Thank you for giving us memories that will stay with us forever. We will definitely be back!

A reliable local provider, who provides a great service and looks after the details!
As a traveller who likes to support local companies, it is always a bit of a minefield when you are travelling to a country that you are unfamiliar with. After extensive research I opted to book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours, because of the great service provided (by Beatrice) via email/WhatsApp and because their quote was truly a fair one (I requested 15+ quotes from different providers, compared them based on cost, accommodation and extra’s offered such as WiFi, beverages etc)
Having just completed our 4 day safari I am so pleased to have trusted this company, as we had an amazing experience. Not only did our guide, Godlove, speak perfect English, he was kind, approachable, patient and took great care of us. He is a very safe driver, did not take any risks, is very knowledgeable about the birds and animals and was great company all round.
The trip included a range of different (tented) lodges, which all had its charm. My family and I were treated so well by everyone, we enjoyed the picnic lunches en route and the dinners in the evening. Based on our experience I can highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours, you’ll have a great experience if you book with them

Unforgettable experience
The trip was brilliant, the views the vast amount of animals we saw the lovely places we stayed all with an amazing Guide Godlove who made the trip even better with knowledge and kindness. This was one of the best experiences of my life would certainly come back.
Overall Great Experience Thanks to BTP
Beyond the Plains did an amazing job in delivering a fantastic experience in our private safari. Right from the point of sale to dropping us off back in Nairobi, the BTP team was extremely professional. It was well organized and well executed by taking care of every need we had on this special trip. Aaron, our guide was super knowledgeable and skillful in executing the game drive, which was the most important for my photography!
