Elin RThis is the experience of a lifetime! We got back from our safari-trip two weeks ago and it is still impossible to completely process the experience. Our amazing guide Jacob found us the sweetest spots for wildlife-watching, always knew where to find the animals (without a com-radio by the way) and where to place the car for the best view and he did everything with a deep respect for the animals. Jacob is a local guy with great knowledge not only about the animals but also about the history and culture of the Maasai. For our first day I thought we would drive directly to our lodge, and I did not expect any game drive. But sure enough, right away we had lions, elephants, hippos and giraffe. I was blown away! We opted for a package deal and Jacob arranged the accommodation for us. The lodges we stayed at were really comfortable tentlodges with a luxurious feel to them and the food was great. Sleeping right in the Serengeti national park was awesome, and not as scary as it may sound! The coming days we had beautiful encounters: a big family of 21 elephants all by ourselves, met a hippo walking out of water, saw cheeta, hyena, leopard and lions, to name a few. Thanks to Jacobs guidingskills we got to meet many animals without the big crowds (when lions are close to the road there can be more than 10 cars there at the same time trying to get a look at the animals). I think the very best experience would be the big family of elephants, or having breakfast with 6 resting lions without any other cars around (it´s hard to choose). We had 4 days in Serengeti and 1 day in the Ngorongoro crater. In hindsight we should have had more days. Thank you Jacob and African Wildcats Expeditions, we will be back! Mod33BEpic Safari Adventures There are not enough superlatives to accurately describe how fantastic a African Wildcats Expeditions safari truly is. This is my second time travelling with the company, and should I have the good fortune to return to Tanzania again, it will not the last. For the eleven nights/twelve days spent in country my wife and I did not worry about a thing as they arranged the entire trip. This included JRO airport pickup and drop-off, securing our lodging, and arranging special cultural experiences. Operated by local, multi-lingual guides, African Wildcats provides a highly personalized, authentic experience that quickly makes one feel more like a welcomed visitor rather than a faceless tourist. Their detailed knowledge of animals, birds, flora, and fauna is extremely impressive; as is their ability to navigate the large, and occasionally challenging terrain of this rugged, beautiful land. Jacob, our driver and guide for the duration of the trip, went out of his way to make sure that our safari was everything we wanted it to be and more. Our adventures and encounters were far too numerous to document in this forum, but some of the highlights include: A walking safari in Arusha National Park trekking alongside creatures of this land, such as baboons, monkeys, cape buffalo, warthogs, and a very cool tower of giraffe. Elephants of all sizes, birds of prey, and the ancient Baobab trees of Tarangire National Park. A male and female lion sleeping in a roadside tree, oblivious to the photo seeking paparazzi below. The sight and sounds of between 100-200 hundred hippos trying to stay cool in the pool formed where the Seronera and Orangi rivers converge. Being within meters of the “other” big cats of the Serengeti including leopards, cheetahs, and some of the cutest lion cubs one could hope to see. Being blessed to observe a dozen, highly endangered, Black rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater. (Including a baby!) Tagging along on a morning hunt with Hadzabe tribal members, marveling at the blacksmith skills of the Datoga, and hiking over hill and dale with our personal Maasai guide to visit a local village. …and if I had to pick a favorite; Enjoying coffee and picnic breakfast (in our vehicle) smack in the middle of the great wildebeest migration. I realize that many see this as a potentially exciting, yet daunting trip, likely to be deemed inaccessible for most people due to potential unknowns and preconceived notions. Let me say, without a doubt, there is nothing to fear and that African Wildcats is the perfect company to turn one’s African safari dream into the experience of a lifetime. In short, trust in the AW team to work their magic. Booking with them was one of the best decisions I have ever made I hope that this brief review will encourage others to do the same. Asante sana! (All photos taken with Samsung S21 Ultra 5G) Murielle CThe best safari with the best guides John and Joseph organised the best safari through différent parks : the best Serengeti and Ngogorro !!! They know how to find the animals … they gave us their knowledge about animals and Massaii culture. We enjoy this trip with my kids -18 - 21 and the kids of our friends -15 -18. Thanks for this mémorable safari… Tanzanie is a really beautiful country. Anna RMost special safari experience ever! We as a family of five got an amazing safari experience guided by John. He gave us a personalized safari trip through Tanzania for 12 days long. African Wildcats is a company that is well known in Tanzania and is only guided by very experienced guides. You can ask them anything to make your trip as personalized as possible. We loved how much we got to know about the wild animals and the different tribes we got to visit. Most wonderful experience ever!! Really recommend it! ChristineDanke für die unvergessliche Safari Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Safari mit Jacob von African Wildcats. Die Tour war perfekt organisiert - von unserer Landung am Flughafen bis zur Weiterreise nach Sansibar. Auch der Safari-Jeep war in sehr gutem Zustand! Übernachtet haben wir in Lodges. Jacob kannte die besten Safari-Routen und wusste genau, zu welcher Zeit man wo die meisten Tiere sieht. Innerhalb von 5 Tagen haben wir drei Nationalparks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) besucht. Wir hatten wahnsinnig viel Glück und haben an einem Tag gleich mehrere Löwen gesehen. Auch darüber hinaus hat Jacob sich super um uns gekümmert! Er ist ein sehr angenehmer Zeitgenosse, entspannt und humorvoll. Danke für diese wunderbare Zeit an das gesamte African Wildcats Team 😀 ChristianSehr Freundlich und professionell Wir waren mit Jacob auf Safari im Tarangire Park, Serengeti Park und beim Ngorongoro Krater. Dabei hat sowohl die Planung als auch die Durchführung wunderbar funktioniert. Jacob ist ein sehr erfahrener Guide und gleichzeitig ein hervorragender und sicherer Fahrer. Er ging auf alle unseren individuellen Wünsche ein und nahm sich die Zeit jede Frage zu beantworten. Er kannte die besten Tageszeiten und Orte, was uns ermöglicht hat viele Tiere zu sehen und unvergessliche Erinnerungen zu sammeln. Hakuna matata - unsere erste Afrikareise wurde damit zum vollen Erfolg. BPMBOBAmazing – Asante Sana :) What an amazing 4 nights, 5 days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari we had with African Wildcats this December 2020. We are so grateful for their depth of knowledge, experience and attention to detail. It was such a special and memorable trip seeing all the many animals up close … not just the Big 5 but many more and learning more about Tanzanian and Maasai culture, not to mention awesome food, accommodation and great ´craic´ as we say in Ireland. We look forward so much to visiting again in the future. Sara & Brendan – Dublin, Ireland nessievaOne of the best holidays ever :) In the end of September/ begin of October we hiked Kilimanjaro (7 days) and went to the Monduli juu Camp, the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater (7 days) and it was the best decision to book this trip with African Wildcats Expeditions. Jacob is a professional and did an amazing job creating this individual trip for us. The communication was easy and fast and the prices were really fair. In advance we received a really good gear list, so we were perfectly prepared. African Wildcats did everything to make our holiday perfect and actually it was even better than that. Thanks again for all the unforgettable experiences :) Sonia PSéjour exceptionnel Nous avons passé une semaine en compagnie de Jacob qui était notre guide pour le safari. Une semaine exceptionnelle avec nos deux enfants de 13 et 17 ans. Jacob est très professionnel. Il nous a fait découvrir le monde sauvage qu’il connaît si bien avec beaucoup de patience, de professionnalisme et de gentillesse. Pour un safari de cette durée, il est important d’avoir un guide très compétent qui introduise ses clients dans la vie des animaux sauvages avec maitrise et connaissance. Jacob possède ses qualités là. Il a organisé pour nous toute la semaine avec programme et réservation des Lodges. Nous étions plus que satisfaits de notre semaine passée en sa compagnie et avons beaucoup appris sur la Tanzanie et sa culture. Un grand merci à Jacob que l’on recommande vivement. LeoFamiliereis Onze reis naar Tanzania was een fantastische ervaring, vooral door de deskundige en vriendelijke begeleiding van Jacob en Kiki. Reizen met African Wildcats geeft een goed gevoel, omdat het een klein, zelfstandig bedrijf is met oog voor goede arbeidsomstandigheden en duurzaamheid. Veel geleerd over Tanzania en de fantastische natuur. Van harte aanbevolen!Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 16 reviews
