Professionalism at the best.
It was really a great vacation and we enjoyed the trip just can't wait to have another one on my next vacation. The costs were fair, they perfectly fit our budget. Time management was nice and loved the hospitality.

Kind, wel organized, affordable
We had a great experience in Uganda with Johnson and Geoffrey from Bujuku Eco Tour. We did a 4 day Rwenzori trek and Chimpanzee trekking at an affordable rate. Everything was perfectly organized and the accommodations were very nice. Trekking gear for the Rwenzori mountains was arranged by the organization and of good quality. Transport from and to Kigali was very comfortable and there were possibilities to see a lot on the way. I would 100% recommend Bujuku Eco Tours for people wanting to visit Uganda.

Chris is very professional, friendly, easy-going and knowledgeable!
I stayed in Maasai mara national park for 2 nights 3days! I learned so much about animals and maasai culture in a few days with Chris! I couldn't have asked for more!
Chris was also very patient as I like to take my time to enjoy the scenery and take pictures.
If you ever visit Maasai mara national reserve, I strongly recommend Lutea Safari's Africa as it is very difficult to travel inside the national park if you don't know it well. You will be able to see much more is less time!
I would recommend Chris without hesitation!
This has been a trip I will never forget and by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my travels!

Kevin was a great driver and made our experience a lifetime memory.
Kevin is the best driver! Timely, safe, navigation, knows everything about the area. He definitely made our Maasai Mara experience a lifetime memory. Also worth the value. Would definitely book again!!

Uganda Trip
We are very happy with the service and attention from Eleanor Roberts, the itinerary was very clear, the service of the guides and quality of the cars was really good as well. The hotels booked were amazing despite the short timeframe planning the trip.
I would recommend Wayfarer Travel.

Excellent tour operator
Our family of four participated in an 8 night safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with African Big Cats. Of the tour operators we received quotes from African Big Cats were the most flexible with the itinerary and communication with Justice and Emmanuel was easy and efficient throughout. It was also good to know we were supporting a local company.
Our guide Venance was absolutely fantastic, a total gentleman, very friendly and good humoured, a safe and reliable driver and above all very knowledgeable and informative about both the wildlife and the people/history of Tanzania. Venance went to great lengths to ensure we saw as many species as possible and that we were able to view and photograph everything optimally. He was also very accommodating with my birdwatching.
Regarding accommodation we opted for a luxury option and went with the hotels originally quoted by African Big Cats which were Maramboi tented camp (near Tarangire), Kitela Lodge (near Lake Manyara), Kubu Kubu in Serengeti and Serena Lodge at Ngorongoro. We absolutely loved Kubu Kubu (the staff are delightful, the views amazing and the rooms and dining area perfectly designed). Serena at Ngorongoro was a bit dated and crowded but the views were fantastic. Kitela was lovely but it's far outside the national park and if I were to book again I would choose a Lodge inside the park. Likewise with Maramboi the Lodge was great but a lodge inside Tarangire would be preferable.
We absolutely loved our safari in Tanzania and being originally from South Africa where we have seen a lot of wildlife we were nevertheless blown away by the scale of these national parks and how prolific the wildlife is. We saw a group of cheetah kill a gazelle right next to our car within an hour of entering Serengeti and that was just the beginning. We saw lion feeding on an elephant, another lion pride with cubs relaxing after a kill, leopards mating, a leopard and her cub returning up a tree to a stashed kill, a pack of hyenas in a stand off with lions. I've never seen so many different groups of lions, so many different cheetahs and so many different leopard all at unbelievably close quarters. We also were lucky to see smaller creatures such as serval, genet, civet and porcupine and of course all the herbivores. On our last day in the Serengeti we witnessed the wildebeest gathering for their southern migration and the sight of wildebeest stretching to the horizon in every direction was truly spectacular.
The scenery in Tanzania is also extremely beautiful with the volcanoes and craters and lakes. This sets it apart from game reserves in South Africa.
I would highly recommend African Big Cats to show you the treasures of this beautiful country. We will certainly be booking with them again.
