A once in a lifetime experience at an competitive price point!!
With African Polecat Safaris we had a once in a lifetime experience, at an affordable price.
We started by check-in at the Arusha lodge, when we met our super friendly guide.
The day after we departed to Tarangire National Park where we saw elephants, lions, zebras, among many other animals. They were all so close to our car!! We then had lunch at an amazing viewpoint.
The food was great through out the safari thanks to a dedicated chef that prepared and explained all our meals.
By nightfall we set up camp on a secure location (with wifi!!) and rested after a few drinks with other group members.
In the second day we headed out to Serengeti, on a wonderful car trip where we saw plenty of animals, different climates and got to know different tribes, including the renowned Maasai.
The Serengeti National Park was incredible! Its truly a world natural treasure! With its almost infinite plains and vast biodiversity. We saw hundreds of thousands of gazelles (not exaggerating), lions, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes, among so much more… It was truly unforgettable.
A word of appreciation to our driver and guide, Chedi, that led us to the best spots to appreciate the wildlife and capture some of the most amazing photos that I ever taken!
In the third and final day, we went to Ngorongoro Carter. Another amazing experience on this massive volcanic crater, rich with wildlife and breath-taking landscape. We could see the final animal of the “big five”, the rhinoceros!!
Overall, I highly recommend experiencing a safari with African Polecat Safaris! It was an amazing voyage, with friendly and helpful guides, and at a very competitive price point!

An unforgettable experience
African Polecat Safari arranged a magnificent 6 day safari trip for us, with some of the best accommodations in Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater.
But, what made this trip truly special was our driver Chedi. We had a lot of fun with him, he taught us a lot about Tanzanian and Maasai culture, and we even learned some basic Swahili along the way.
As the cherry on the cake Chedi seems to have a 6th sense for spotting wildlife and always has a story to tell! We have seen the big 5, many (hunting) cheetahs, cereals, and many others!
I would recommend anyone booking with African Polecat Safaris to ask for Chedi, he will make your trip one you will never forget no matter where you stay

Best inclusive safari trip
The African Polecats gave a a very inclusive and excellent Safari experience to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Cater! We loved the experience through them. Booking was quite smooth done through WhatsApp and emails even though we booked it only two days before! They are quick and responsive. We have been in was a 2 day 1 night Safari with accommodation, pick-ups from airport and a drop off!, the Safari game drive with a knowledgeable driver as guide to the parks, breakfasts, lunches and a dinner. Highly recommend going through your Safari through them. I am already recommending them friends and family.

A great 2 day safari trip, we saw all animals we wanted to see!
We did the 2 day trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro with African Polecat Safaris. The booking process was very straightforward, James answered all questions we had very quickly. The deposit they requested was also quite reasonable(5% via online payment). They accepted the payment in 2 different currencies, which helped us a lot. The safari itself was very thorough, we were well taken care of from the airport pick up to the accommodation and at the end airport drop off. In the safari itself, we had a very fun guide, Simba, who was always energetic and ready to explain everything. Food at the safari was delicious and we got good tips on how to save our food from the monkeys and the birds :) Really recommended!

A magical experience with our kids
We make in August 21 a 5 days safari starting from Arusha with Affican Polecast safari (Tanrangire, Serengetti, N’Gorongoro,Manyara Lake).
Everything was very well organised from the beginning. A driver collected us at the airport the day before the safari to bring us into their recommanded hôtel in Arusha. We met our driver/guide and we can exchange in french (it was our request: to allow kids to communicate with him).
Safari starts with lots of road hours to catch the réserves but we were very well installed in thé big 4X4, very Nice and comfortable.
By chance we saw big five and so many animals during thé trip . Organisation is very well done, our driver Philbert was thé best (he explained us so many things about animals), and our cooker Ali too. We eat so many gréât food: each day a new meal and very consistent.
We chose camp versus lodges and it was a réal expérience that we can’t Forget (Cold in thé crateria and animals came around thé tent during the night). Here again you have to think about nothing as thé driver prépared our tents whine cooker is in thé kitchen.
We were very happy and we recommand James for all his attention during our trip. Everything was perfect. Don’t hésitâte! James and his colleague John (Kili guide) are very experimented guys, they will allow to have an excellent moment with and attractive price.

Highly recommended!!!
We made 4 day safari of Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire NP. Our driver/guide was Bosko and chef was Ali. I can't describe how lucky we were to met them. Bosko was a really careful and good driver. He was also a knowledgeable guide doing what he could to show us all animals. Ali was our perfect chef. Every meal was on time and and were really delicious. Each day Ali suprised us with something new and we wondered how it is possible to make such things at the campiste:) These guys are the best team ,big-hearted and cheerful persons. We spent with them wonderful time.;-)
Each place we visited is diffrent, so I can't tell which is the best. I recommend to see them all and experience close contact with animals, sound of Serengeti during night at the campsite or zebras waiting just behind tents in Ngorongoro.
I would like also to thank James for fast contact, coordination of our staff during safari and everything that made our time in Tanzania unforgettable.

Great experience for any travellers, great service and unforgettable moments!
4 days trip is just about right if you don’t want to stay too long in a car but you also want to see as much as possible. We Visited Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro and Tarengeri, all parks highly recommend and all are totally different so you won’t get bored at all! We counted more than 40 species we saw and thanks to our guide Lucas we got to know a lot about them. He was very professionally prepared and knew everything about the animals.
The food was great, the best was the hot meal during the safari, when other had lunch boxes. If you like to eat well - recommended!
If you like to get African experience choose tents - the they are cheaper but don’t expect hot water and other amenities. Take some additional snacks / drinks as you rather won’t buy them on the camping side or on the way.
Comfy cars with good view for everyone, very experienced and good driver so generally highly recommended!!!

Fantastic tour with a group of spontaneous people.
I can recommend the safari with John and co with a pure heart. Perfect organization, everything on time, just a great adventure. Additionally, the fastest driver on the Serengeti Zuma and the best chef Adam made our stay a wonderful one. We saw all the animals included in the big five thanks to the commitment of our guide. We strongly recommend !!!

Excellent Company in Tanzania
We had wonderful experience with Africa Polecat safaris. We were accompanied by the best guide ever. His name is lucas, and his knowledge about the wildlife, geology and animals is amazing and unlimited. I highly recommend you to do a safari with Africa Polecat safaris, and if you could get Lucas as a guide it would be perfect
