Extremely well organized and complete trip. We enjoyed every minute of it. of it
Contact and payement went very accurate and easy. Very reliable. Pick up from other hotel as usual was no problem. Information was complete. Douglas is the a lover of the game. He knows so much about wildlife and we learned so much from him. Very skilled driver with a lot of experience. He knows where to go to see the best. Takes all the time you need to make pictures etc. We saw so many herds and all of the other animals. Most of the time we were only with our group or some other trucks. Rachid is master chef in cooking. Do you want a good safari? Please choose CUBS EXPERIENCE

Your Safari with Bakari, so recommended!
Bakari picked us up in the border with Kenya and the party started. He is super kind, very good person, his English was good enough, brought us super tasty food and took us to the best spots to see all kinds of wildlife. He was a big part of our dreamed trip.
The only thing that did not made the trip 100% perfect, was the management level. Not only that we had troubles during the safari payment, but also the boss seemed not much interested in our wellbeing, but only in money and in us writing this opinion. This is what mattered for him.

A fantastic safari! Asante sana!
We were looking for an experienced Safari operator to make our extended family’s Safari a success. Having lived in Tanzania (years ago) and with plenty of safari experience, we knew what we were looking for. And we found it.
African Big Cats Safaris office staff were absolutely fantastic in helping us tailor the package to our 9 person groups (ages ranging from 11 to 77) needs and wishes. All our questions were answered swiftly and professionally and their experience based advise was offered at all the right moments.
We ended up making a 6 days 5 nights Ndutu Migration Safari, visiting Tarangire, South Serengeti (Ndutu area), Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
The first night was at Ilboru Safari Lodge in Arusha, for a very needed acclimatisation day at the pool after the long flights from Finland. The two nights to-and-from Serengeti we spent at slightly upgraded hotels (Ngorongoro Farm House and Escarpment Lodge), which can both be recommended. In fact, we probably could easily have spent an entire day at the farm house.
At Ndutu we spent two nights at the Ndutu Heritage Migration Camp, which was fantastic and made the safari really feel like a safari. After all, a safari without sleeping in tents is not really a safari, is it (even if the tents did have fantastic beds, running water and wi-fi)? There were wild animals walking close to the camp, and grazing outside our tent during the night. And still even our children felt safe and comfortable.
Our guides ”Denny” and Khalid were absolute professionals and did an outstanding job in both deepening the knowledge of our more experienced Africa-travellers and teaching our first-time safari-going children about the local animals, nature and culture.
Admittedly, our expectations were very high about the animals we wished and wanted to see on the safari. And they were met. The only big five that eluded us (not for lack of searching) was the leopard, but it was more than compensated by the four cheetah, the very rare caracal cat spotting at close range, and the incredible ten rhinos we saw at Ngorongoro.
In addition to all the different species of animals and birds, it was great to see the migrating herds of Zebra and birthing wildebeest in such vast numbers. Staying in the Ndutu area was absolutely the correct choice at this time of year.
All the arrangements were top notch, the cars were comfortable, the food was excellent and the drinks were (mostly) cold. And the animal spotting was plentiful. Most importantly, unlike some of the other safari guides we saw in the parks, our African Big Cats Safaris guides were experienced professionals with a high respect for the animals and the nature (as it should be).
P.S. If you are wondering how many lions can fit into one tree, the answer is ten.

Reliable and friendly agency
I did a tour to Materuni waterfalls including lunch and experienced how coffee is prepared locally. The food was very good, the staff very friendly and competent and the coffee preparation was a unique experience. The waterfalls were as well amazing and a must see. I can highly recommend golden memories and hope to do another tour with them!

Reliable and caring partner for safari tours
We chose Kenya Bush expeditions for the rate level and adequate price for a private 2 days safari in Amboseli. all payments are supported by receipts. It was a van on time. And great driver and guide Durias, who became our friend within these 2 days. We could use our time and stops to buy drinks and fruits, visiting Masai village. In the park we made a lot of raids to the best animals watch places in savanna or around the lake with flamingos and hippos. All went great and filled us the impressions we could not expect.

Friendly and very helpful
We are in Mikumi about 2 times every year. We always ask Albert for a safari in Mikumi national park. He takes preparation seriously; he shows hospitality and takes great care of his guests. We feel safe with Albert and it is always enjoyable. He truly is passionate about safari guiding and is very knowledgeable. Our favourite part of the safari is always the picnic breakfast at the hippo pool!
