An Unforgettable Safari Experience with African Polecat Safaris
Our guide, Manfred, was simply the best! He catered to all our wishes and answered every question with great care. The communication throughout the entire trip was excellent. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious.
We spent 3 days on safari, exploring the breathtaking Serengeti National Park and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. In such a short time, we saw so much wildlife and created unforgettable memories. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. Thank you so much, African Polecat Safaris, for an amazing adventure!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience with Polecat Safari
We discovered Polecat Safari online and from the moment we reached out, James promptly contacted us. He created our safari to perfectly match to our needs and preferences. The communication was professional and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process.
Upon our arrival in Arusha, we were greeted warmly, making us feel instantly welcome. Our first night was spent in a comfortable hotel, allowing us to rest after the long flight.
The next day, we were introduced to Manfred – an absolute outstanding guide. Manfred truly made our 7-day safari unforgettable. His deep knowledge, passion, and dedication to sharing the beauty of his homeland through every day. Thanks to him, we witnessed the awe-inspiring Big Five. He navigated us safely through the Serengeti, constantly on the lookout for those rare, "once-in-a-million" moments that make a safari so magical.
The accommodations curated by the Polecat Safari team were perfect, adding even more comfort and excitement to our adventure. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and we wouldn't change a thing about our trip.
If you're considering a safari, look no further – book your adventure with Polecat Safari. Invest in the experience, request Manfred as your guide and prepare for an unforgettable journey. This was hands down one of the best decisions we've ever made and we can't recommend them highly enough

Excellent service, great value for your money.
One in a lifetime experience. The best past was the camping at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Highly recommend, but be prepared with flashlights, pillow, and sandals. Some little details I would recommend to improve the experience, for example, explicitly say that the flight to Zanzibar is not included. We totally missed it and had to buy the flight when we arrived. Anneth was the greatest. She helped us out with everything.

It was professional, reliable and unforgettable
I had the incredible opportunity to go on a safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, and it was nothing short of amazing! The landscapes were breathtaking, the wildlife sightings were unforgettable, and the entire experience felt like a dream come true.
A huge shoutout to African Polecat Safari for making this trip so seamless and enjoyable. Our guide Ben was knowledgeable and attention to detail. Also, top-notch customer service exceeded all expectations. From spotting the Big Five to learning about the local ecosystems and culture, every moment was enriched by their expertise and passion for what they do. If you’re considering a safari adventure, I highly recommend African Polecat Safari. They truly know how to create an experience you’ll treasure forever!

Amazing safari trip with excellent tour guide
We booked a 7-day trip with African Polecat Safaris with 5 days on safari in various national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) and it was an impressive experience to observe the wildlife and be so close to nature. A memory that will last a lifetime. The duration was just right for us. If you have less time, you can skip Lake Manyara Park, as it is the hardest place to spot animals. The accommodation (Haradali's Home, Jungle Pearl Resort, Moyo Tented Camp, Ang'ata Camp, Forest Hill Hotel) was very well maintained and the food was good. Our guide Benedict has a lot of knowledge and experience about the animals and was able to answer all our questions. He also took a lot of time to answer questions about the culture. We had a great time with him and he always took good care of us. He is a very funny and kind-hearted person. We were able to see all the Big 5 and Ugly 5 - our expectations were completely exceeded. A big thank you to Ben! We can highly recommend a booking with African Polecat Safari.

Unforgettable Safari Journey
We booked a 7-day trip with Polecat Safaris, with 5 of those days being actual safari days. The first and last days were dedicated to arrival, departure, and related logistics.
Ibrahim from Polecat Safaris provided us with an offer in no time and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Together, we were able to tailor the trip exactly to our preferences. On the day we arrived in Arusha, Ibrahim and Alex were punctual, met us at the airport, gave us a brief tour of Arusha, and brought us to our hotel. The real journey began the following day.
Our safari guide, Benedict, accompanied us throughout the trip. He was always attentive to our needs and made every effort to fulfil our wishes. Benedict is incredibly friendly and has a great sense of humour. We got along wonderfully with him from day one. His extensive knowledge of wildlife and plants made the experience engaging and enriching—there was never a dull moment.
We visited the following national parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara.
Thanks to Benedict, we were able to see everything we had hoped for, including rare sightings of leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos.
The accommodations and meals were also of good quality. At Moyo Camp in the Serengeti, we experienced the thrill of lions and hyenas roaming in or near the camp at night (it’s strictly prohibited to go out alone after dark). Other animals were also around, and we could spot many of them during the day.
Overall, it was an incredible experience with Polecat Safaris, especially thanks to Benedict. A big thank you for making this trip unforgettable!

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!
