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

Completely satisfied with the guide, Simba. He is a well-prepared, funny guy. Highly recommend
We are beyond a great safari experience, we have been on a 2 day tour of the Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Parks. We were completely satisfied with our guide, Simba. He is a well-prepared, funny guy, he described in detail the behavior of all animals! Luckily we could see the "Big 5" of Africa. The food received during the tour was delicious, the accommodation was satisfactory in this price category.
Regardless, I can't give 5 stars because the airport pick-up time wasn't kept by the company despite what was agreed. After arrival to Arusha Airport on Day 0, we waited for about 30 mins for the driver, but he didn’t come, the company was unreachable both by phone and Whatsapp! We were forced to catch a taxi, the price of which was later at least compensted by the company...

The best thing that happened to us!
African Polecat Safaris is highly recommended by our family. This is the best company in Arusha. Everything was organized at the highest level, at the best price.
Our safari took place from Ngorongoro and Tarangire. We managed to see all the animals, and even the lioness hunt, which happens rather infrequently, our guide Lucas helped us with this. Lucas - you are the best guide, thank you! The hotels we stayed in are pretty good. It is worth noting fill tree lodge and his entire team - they are very responsive and kind people, we will definitely come back to you.
If we are in Tanzania again, we will go on a safari only with your company. Thank you so much!

Incredibile lifetime experience, amazing and unforgettable
I did a 5 days safari with them. We had a wonderful group of nice and funny people and our tour guide Malisa was I think the best tour guide you could ever wish for. He was so nice, funny and able to answer all of our questions. Due to him we were able to see all big fives... He told us to get up early so that we also get to see the more night active animals like the cheetahs. The food was great and the overnight stays in the Serengeti where the Hyenas joined us had been just incredible. During the night you could hear the hyenas laughing and the lions roaring as if they were just close to you. If your a wildlife fan, you shouldn't miss that opportunity. Even now when I see my pictures and videos I can't stop smiling. An experience I will never forget. Thank you so much for making this an amazing memory of my life.

Amazing experience!
The trip exceeded our expectations. Everything was excellent. Before the trip, James was super helpful, answering all our questions and making sure we were prepared for the trip. There were no last minutes surprises at all.
The car was nice and comfortable. Our guide, Malisa, was an amazing guy. Super friendly and helpful and willing to share information with us while keeping us safe.
The food was amazing. Abdula, the cook, traveled with us and we were one of the few groups who had proper meals during the trip, and not sandwiches in a box. Not only proper meals but amazing meals!
The campsites were simple but had everything we needed, with a plus for being so close to the animals. The whole tour was amazing. I definitely recommend it!
