Abu, Lucas, and the entire Wild Horizon Safaris crew were amazing!
We had the best time on our recent safari in Tanzania! The safari guides were nothing short of amazing, sharing their knowledge and laughs with our big group of 36 people! They took us on the most beautiful game drives where we got to enjoy so many amazing animals! They truly went above and beyond and I will cherish the memories made forever !

Great arrangement, very friendly company, excellent guide with great knowledge, also humor
Our entire safari experience was absolutely fantastic from booking to the final day of travel. Special thanks to our booking consultant Vincent, who was incredibly attentive and responsive. He patiently answered every question we had, cleared up all our concerns, and arranged wonderful accommodations for us. The deposit was reasonably priced as well. Airport pick-up and drop-off were punctual, and we kept in constant contact throughout, which gave us great peace of mind traveling in a foreign country.
Our guide Jimmy accompanied us for seven unforgettable days in an 8-person group. He skillfully coordinated seating for everyone and knows every national park like the back of his hand, navigating expertly without even using a GPS. We were extremely fortunate to spot most wildlife on our very first day. Throughout the trip, Jimmy had an eagle eye for animals and amazing photo moments. He also prepared a guidebook, which helped us look up local terms easily. Thanks to his excellent guidance, we witnessed the stunning sunrise, herds of elephants and the full view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Jimmy truly made this journey a precious memory we will cherish forever. We highly recommend this service!

Fantastic service
This was an amazing experience in a fantastic location in a private reserve in Krueger, Umkumbe resort.
From my first contact with Johan at Safari life everything went smoothly, First the options for where to stay and level of comfort and cost. Payment was easy. Communication for travel and experiences were on point. All transfers were on time and great.
The resort was amazing. Was greeted and shown all the features of my tent. 3 amazing on site cooked fresh meals a day, with Abigail being a tremendous host. So much food! The infinity pool overlooked the Savannah where hyenas, elephants and warthogs roamed. I felt safe and secure.
Brandon lead the morning and evening safaris. This is the highlight as they can go off-road to find the animals. I saw everything and they are knowledgeable and respectful of the animals, There is a stop for drinks on each safari, it’s rough ride but seeing lions and leopards makes up for it.
Lastly I can’t thank them enough for assisting in my missing luggage list by the airlines. They tracked it down, and went out of their way to help me. This is a great service and was great to know I was not dismissed. So if you’re looking for a safari, this is the place to select

African Big Cats did an amazing job.
The safari was beyond belief and amazing. All the lodging were great and the sights were amazing. Big Cats guide Khaled was very informative and knowledgeable. Naomi, our arranger kept us informed before our trip and answered all of our questions. Our party of three went on a 7-day safari including the Serengeti and was actually in the middle of the great migration and saw several thousands of zebras and wildebeests. We saw four black rhinos, a few leopards, many lions, 1000s of elephants, 100s of cape buffalos, 100s of hippos and giraffes. We went at the end of the rain season and there were no crowds. I highly recommend using African Bigs Cats. Request Khaled as your guide.

Beautiful Experience
Myself and a friend visited for approximately 8 days this May. We had a wonderful time and our guide Iddi was pleasant and informative throughout the trip. We saw many animals and experienced multiple parks. The transfers were seamless and we very much enjoyed our time there.

James was the best guide we could have asked for. He is so knowledgable about all the animals and led us to locations with amazing views.
He went out of his way to accommodate us and customize our trip.
We highly recommend him and can't wait to go back.

Our Photographic Safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations
Our Photographic Safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations. We wandered through picture-perfect landscapes, from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater, ending at Lake Manyara, and even visited a Maasai village.
We encountered animals everywhere.
Lions, lionesses, elephants, cheetahs, flamingos, pelicans, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, and many other animals.
A special thanks to our always top-notch guides: Aidan, Hamza, and Elia, who knew the perfect spots for strategic sightings, providing us with fantastic experiences during our shots.
The guides were patient and accompanied us on this adventure, always available, courteous, and always smiling.
Thank you so much, it was a wonderful experience.
A special thanks to Hamza, who accompanied us on this wonderful journey in the jeep.

African Big Cats- 10/10!!!
Our safari with African Big Cats was truly one of the highlights of our honeymoon, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, the entire team went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. A special thank you to William from the sales team, who managed to organize our itinerary and accommodations at the last minute while carefully accommodating all of our requests and preferences. Everything was planned exactly the way we wanted. We would also like to thank Naomi and Emmanuel from the operations team, who made sure every detail was clear, well-organized, and running smoothly throughout the entire journey.
And now, the most important part of this review: Martin.
We spent six incredible days with Martin on a private safari, and honestly, we could not have asked for a better guide to be part of such a special chapter of our lives.
Martin is the complete package: exceptionally professional, incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and simply a wonderful person to spend time with. Spending six full days together in a safari vehicle could easily feel overwhelming with the wrong guide, but with Martin, we felt comfortable from the very first moment. He has an amazing ability to read the atmosphere and adapt to his guests, making every day feel natural, enjoyable, and effortless.
His knowledge is truly remarkable. Whether it was wildlife, plants, ecosystems, local culture, history, geography, or the smallest details of the environment around us, Martin always had fascinating insights to share. Most of the time, we didn’t even need to ask questions because he was already explaining things in such an engaging and interesting way. At the same time, he never felt overwhelming or intrusive—he always knew exactly how to strike the perfect balance.
Another thing that truly stood out was Martin’s exceptional wildlife tracking ability. His experience, sharp eye, and deep understanding of animal behavior consistently put us in the right place at the right time. Time and time again, he spotted animals that we would never have noticed on our own and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible sightings throughout our safari. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience as special and memorable as possible.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Martin is an excellent driver, extremely organized, and always one step ahead. He made sure every detail was taken care of and that we never had to worry about anything. Everything ran smoothly, without delays, issues, or complications. We always felt safe, relaxed, and well looked after.
As newlyweds on our honeymoon, this trip was incredibly important to us, and Martin played a huge role in making it such an unforgettable experience. We genuinely cannot imagine having had a better guide accompany us on this journey through Tanzania.
We wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats to anyone planning a safari, and if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and specifically request Martin as your guide!!
