Big Cat Safaris and Tours

People come from all over the world to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs – the biggest felines on the African continent.

A safari is hardly complete without seeing at least one of these amazing predators in the wilderness.

When searching out the big cats, it’s also important to look out for the smaller yet equally fascinating serval and caracal.

East Africa is by far the best destination to view big cats. It hosts more than half of Africa’s lion population and it’s not uncommon to see more than 100 individual lions in the central Serengeti in one day. There are also fantastic leopard areas, the Serengeti’s plains for cheetah, and frequent serval and caracal sightings.

The open plains and short grass make it far easier to find the big cats, compared to the dense bushveld vegetation of southern Africa
