Perfect agency with a excellent trip!
This was the first time that my friends and I visited Tanzania and African Polecat Safaris offered us an amazing 8-day trip! The service and transfers were very smooth that totally took away all of our stresses. Our guide Papa was very professional and experienced, he knew what we need and help us seeing more animals than we imagined. We have successfully gathered African Big 5 and the wildebeest migration, which made our dreams come true! Here we were also grateful for Ibrahim taking us to experience local life in Arusha, which was very impressive.
I super recommend African Polecat Safaris if you plan to go for a memorable in Tanzania with no hesitate.
Thanks to Polecat team, we look forward to seeing you next time :)

Amazing safari experience
We booked a fly in/fly out private safari going from Zanzibar to Tanzania to visit two parks: Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The full experience was amazing from booking and pick up until drop of. Our game driver Filemon was amazing and provided interesting information about everything we saw. He also made sure we got to see all the animals and his knowledge was very good. The accommodation they provided was also high quality and an experience in itself. I highly recommend booking with Polecat Safari.

Brilliant and reliable Safari tour operator in Tanzania
We have bene on a 5 days Safari tour organizer by African Polecat Safaris: days 1-2 in North Serengeti, day 3 in Centrale Serengeti, day 4 in Ngorongoro and day 5 in Tarangire. We had a great experience overall, all the resorts were high standard and great quality. We had a jeep entirely for us (we were 3 persons) and our guide Emmanuel was outstanding: nice, knowledgeable, friendly. When we returned ti Arusha he introduced is to his family and took the initiative to bring us to a waterfall in Mount Meru - highly recommended. Ibrahim (the main contact at African Polecat) is kind and smart and always responds quickly to requests - via WhatsApp which Is very efficient. Overall a great experience and I will definitely recommend African Polecat to all my friends.

Excellent short safari experience
We booked a 4 day safari through African Polecat Safaris. Dixon was our personal tour guide (only two of us in our group, my husband and myself). We ran into problems before we left the US when Delta Airlines cancelled all their flights on the day we were supposed to leave for Tanzania. We were put on a flight three days later. African Polecat rescheduled the dates of our safari ($250 change fee since he had to rebook two plane flights). We finally arrived in Dar es Salaam and the driver picked us up at our hotel early in the morning and took us to the DAR airport. We arrived in Arusha quickly and were met by James with Polecat and Dixon our guide and driver. Dixon was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the animals, very helpful and kind of everyone around us and very nice to talk to. We were very impressed that he helped another jeep driver get to the top of the Ngorongoro crater by pulling his vehicle with a rope. We had very very nice accommodations at Jungle Pearl and two tented camps in the Serengeti. Our rooms, the dining rooms and lounges were all excellent. The food was very good. We had a hot hamper lunch each day at a picnic area which I really enjoyed. Dixon provided drinks for us including, water, diet coke, beer and wine. The jeep was very roomy and the expandable top was convenient for watching the animals. We saw lots and lots of animals including a lion pair mating. Four days is pretty short for a safari and we spent a lot of time driving. Dixon was a very safe driver. The only slight drawback was that the jeep didn't have a charger or wifi as was advertised. But we had plenty of time to recharge our camera batteries at our nightly accommodations so that was not a problem. We took lots of good photos and Dixson was always willing to stop if we saw something we wanted to take a photo of. At the end of the 4 days a Polecat driver (also very nice person) drove her to the Kilimanjaro airport for a short flight to Zanzibar. All in all a wonderful safari experience.

We had one of the best experience in Zanzibar
We had an amazing experience with African polecat for our Zanzibar trip! From the moment we booked, the service was impeccable. A special thanks to Mr Ibrahim who was incredibly responsive and ensured that every detail of our trip was perfectly arranged. The activities, and overall itinerary were spot on. Thanks to the African polecat team, our Zanzibar vacation was truly unforgettable! Highly recommend their services for anyone planning a hassle-free and enjoyable trip.

The most professional tourist company I have ever met!
Every staff I met from polecat were professional and lovely! They took care of me and my family from the start of our trip til the end. Our guide Agrey is definitely the best guide I have ever met! He is soooo knowledgeable and humorous that you can always trust him and you will never feel bored during safari!

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!
