Very good
At the beginning of our trip, we realized we had made a significant mistake with the start date when booking our safari. Fortunately, Ibra from the agency responded to our messages late at 10 p.m. and went above and beyond to reorganize the entire trip. This ensured we didn't lose any money and could proceed as planned the very next day. The accommodations were excellent and exceeded our expectations. Our driver Steven made a great effort to help us spot the Big Five and was very friendly, which made our days enjoyable.
One minor point to consider was a few issues we experienced with the car's engine. However, this did not impact our overall experience, which turned out to be one of the best of our lives!

We were lucky to have a guide named Jonis. He was incredible.
An Unforgettable Adventure with an Exceptional Guide
Our recent safari was nothing short of spectacular! From the breathtaking landscapes to the incredible wildlife sightings, every moment felt like a scene straight out of a nature documentary. What made the experience even more memorable was our guide, Jonis . His deep knowledge, passion, and attentiveness truly set this adventure apart.
Jonis had an uncanny ability to spot animals from a distance, and he enriched every sighting with fascinating details about the animals’ behaviors, habitats, and conservation efforts. Whether it was a pride of lions lounging under a tree, elephants roaming the savanna, or a rare sighting of a leopard, he made sure we were in the best possible spot for viewing and photographing.
Safety and comfort were always top priorities, and Jonis handled every detail seamlessly—from navigating tricky terrain to preparing the perfect spot for lunch in the bush. He was also incredibly patient, answering all of our questions and making sure everyone was engaged and enjoying the journey.
If you’re planning a safari, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. It’s more than just a trip; it’s an education and an adventure. And if you’re lucky enough to have Jonis as your guide, prepare for an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime!

Always responded promptly and with a calm demeanour
I was in communication with James few months prior to our safari in October and always received helpful feedback from him. Our safari was well organized and our driver Sweffe was knowledgeable. The first tented lodge was rudimentary but the staff was wonderful and helpful. Hot water was an issue but being in the bush does present challenges. The second tented lodge was better and well organized. Overall the tour was good but was disappointed at not seeing more animals. However the presence of animals is unpredictable as Serengeti is vast and animals do wander. I believe in supporting local business people and I would definitely recommend African Polecat Safaris for their helpfulness and prompt replies. Brian who is an associate of James was excellent, polite and helpful.

Perfect agency with a excellent trip!
This was the first time that my friends and I visited Tanzania and African Polecat Safaris offered us an amazing 8-day trip! The service and transfers were very smooth that totally took away all of our stresses. Our guide Papa was very professional and experienced, he knew what we need and help us seeing more animals than we imagined. We have successfully gathered African Big 5 and the wildebeest migration, which made our dreams come true! Here we were also grateful for Ibrahim taking us to experience local life in Arusha, which was very impressive.
I super recommend African Polecat Safaris if you plan to go for a memorable in Tanzania with no hesitate.
Thanks to Polecat team, we look forward to seeing you next time :)

Amazing safari experience
We booked a fly in/fly out private safari going from Zanzibar to Tanzania to visit two parks: Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The full experience was amazing from booking and pick up until drop of. Our game driver Filemon was amazing and provided interesting information about everything we saw. He also made sure we got to see all the animals and his knowledge was very good. The accommodation they provided was also high quality and an experience in itself. I highly recommend booking with Polecat Safari.
