Awesome safari! The planning is uncomplicated and the communication incredibly good
Our safari was amazing! We did a 5-day private safari and visited Tanrangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyare. Planning with James was great and uncomplicated, he took our every wish into account and at the end we even got a free upgrade for accommodation.
Our two guides Ben and Rama were great and made our trip unforgettable. They both explained a lot to us about the culture, nature and of course the animals. We were in a good mood throughout and had a lot of fun during the transfer times too.
The food and catering were great. The fridge in the car with soft drinks, water, wine and of course beer was always available to us.
Our expectations were exceeded in every respect. We would do a safari with Polecat again at any time, really great!

Unforgettable Safari Experience Thanks to Amazing Guides and Service
I cannot recommend this company enough! Anneth organized every detail of our unforgettable 4-day safari through the Serengeti, Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were fortunate to see so many different animals, but it was our guides, Ben and Manny, who truly made the experience exceptional. Guys, from day 1 you became friends to our group. Your energy was contagious, and not only kept up with our lively 8-person group but also enhanced the experience. We are so grateful for your dedication to ensuring we made the most of every moment and for the personal care you took in looking out for each of us.
A special thanks to the staff at Moyo and Heritage Migration camps as well – everyone treated us with the utmost respect and made us feel incredibly welcome. Truly a remarkable trip from start to finish!

The experience was nothing short of magical, and it’s all thanks to the exceptional guides and the team’s impeccable organization.
A special shoutout goes to Manfred and Ben, who were absolute superstars throughout our journey.

His passion for the land and its creatures truly shines through, and his keen eye for spotting animals ensured we didn’t miss a thing. Whether it was tracking the Big Five or sharing fascinating details about the local ecosystems, Manfred’s expertise made every moment unforgettable.
Ben was equally outstanding, with his warm personality and incredible attention to detail. His knowledge of the animals and local culture enriched the experience beyond measure, and his humor and kindness made the trip even more enjoyable. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable, safe, and always having a great time.
From breathtaking landscapes in the Serengeti to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, every day brought a new adventure. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

Wonderful Experience
I can't say enough good things about my safari experience with this incredible company. From start to finish, every detail was flawlessly executed, and the team went above and beyond to make this adventure truly unforgettable. Special shoutout to Manfred, Zakayo, both Ibrahim’s, and Brian—you all made this trip so special!
Manfred, in particular, was an outstanding guide and very skilled driver. His expertise and deep knowledge of the wildlife and landscape made every moment feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He always knew the best spots to visit, ensuring we didn’t just see the animals, but truly experienced the magic of the parks and nature. His passion for the land and its creatures made the trip all the more special. Zakayo was also an amazing mountain guide for the Kilimanjaro day hike. We loved spending our days with everyone, I would 100% recommend this company.
The entire team made us feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of every step of the way. From booking the trip to the safari itself, everything was seamless and perfectly organized. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. All of our expectations were exceeded. Thank you to everyone who made this trip unforgettable—you’re truly the best! Highly recommend!
Asante sana!!!
Your friends,

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.
