Trip of a Lifetime!
My family and I visited Tanzania for the first time and knew we wanted to see all it had to offer on our 6 day safari! The reviews for African Polecat Safaris were great, and we can truly say they live up to the hype. They are an amazing company to work with and we are so grateful for everything they did for us when coming up with our itinerary! They helped book everything we would have needed, from permits for national parks to transfers to and from the airport. James was always very prompt at responding and communicative despite the time difference from the USA. He answered any and all questions, even down to the silly ones. We were very lucky we had Manfred as our driver, he quickly became a part of our family. The accommodations were fabulous throughout our safari. The vehicle was comfortable and had outlets to charge our phones and a cooler with water, sodas, beer, and wine! I would definitely recommend bringing some sort of buff or scarf as it gets very dusty with top and windows open! We will definitely be recommending African Polecat to our friends and family!

My dream has come true
It was my first Safari ever and I could not have imagined it better than this .
Our guide Manfred was very professional , helpful and knows a lot of interesting facts about the animals and the places we were visiting . I loved spending time with him .
We saw the animals really close and could observe them for as long as we wanted .
The facilities where we stayed were very comfortable especially I loved the one in the Serengeti .
I was really happy with my experience I would definitely go back and do it all again .

We booked a 13-day safari with polecat. We spent 4 days in Zanzibar and 9 days on safari in Tanzania. Our guide was Manfred. Manfred did an incredibly good job. He knew an incredible amount about all the animals, the individual peoples and the country. There was no question he could not answer. He was always in a good mood and made our days wonderful. I would advise everyone who books with polecat and wants to support a local provider to ask for Manfred as a guide, then your safaris will be a complete success

the best experience of my life
hands down the best experience of our lives. My boyfriend and I booked a 4-day Safari, we had high expectations and they were fulfilled. The accommodations (a luxury camp tent and in a resort) were excellent, during the 4 days of Safari we saw all the animals thanks to our wonderful Guide. Communication with the tour operator has always been fast and willing to fulfill our requests. See you next year!

Private 2 day safari
WOW! What an amazing two days. The whole experience from beginning to end was just incredible. The service and transfers were so smooth it took away all of our stresses. The animals were more than we could have even imagined but honestly, I think our tour guides made it that much better. Manfred and Ib were so funny and knowledgeable. At one point I thought my husband might send me back home on my own to stay with them! We had the best two days, just wished we knew how amazing it was and booked for longer. I would 100% recommend the company, Manfred and Ib to anyone

Amazing safari experience with Polecat in Tanzania
We had an unforgettable safari experience with Polecat in Tanzania. Our driver and guide, Manfred, was exceptional. He is a nice, easygoing guy who always exudes positive vibes and eagerly shares his expertise.
James, the owner, was very responsive and quick in suggesting the perfect itinerary and places to stay.
For anyone looking for a stress-free adventure to discover the incredible wildlife and culture of Tanzania, we highly recommend Polecat.

Impeccable service, punctuality and everything as expected
My wife and I booked our safari trip with James from Polecat. It starts already impressing by the responsiveness and the professional and detail offer, which is sent both in regular PDF but also online with all details and the option to book. When we got in Tanzania, we have been received by Maulid who treated us very well and made us feel home. The safari was amazing everything that was promised was delivered, and beyond. Very experienced and kind tour guides like Rachid, made it a fantastic experience. Everywhere we went, transfer in the airports to /from Zanzibar, there was always someone waiting for us. Super recommended if you want to plan your safari in Tanzania with no headache. Thanks Polecat team, and we may meet again in the future for a Serengeti tour this time.
