Incredible Experience Of The Serengeti
Our guide Manfred truly gave us the most magnificent Serengeti adventure imaginable. From the first moment, his hospitality friendliness, professionalism and warmth were the perfect start to this great trip. And what a trip it was, from the depths of Tarangire, across the vast plains of the Serengeti and then through the mists of time to descend the crater into the last true garden of Eden Ngorogoro, it was by far the best experience of our lives. I can't recommend Polecat Safari enough, from the off James and the teams communication was incredible, answering every question we had quickly and with a lot of information. Looking forward to our next trip!

EXCELLENT ORGANISATION WITH A WONDERFUL GUIDE
We chose African polecat out of so many operators, because they are owned by a local (let's support he local business). Also they gave us a really reasonably priced fly in and fly out option (they picked us up at the hotel on Zanzibar and dropped us of there) and they were quick in responses and very reliable. Feel free to check out the places to stay and communicate them to James. He will adapt the itinerary accordingly. Also feel free to say where you wish to stay for another night (we stayed in Serengeti for two nights and it was magical).
Let me say this was the best experience of my life. Of course we saw so many different animals (you cant even imagine how many) but also our guide Manfred made this trip really special. He fulfilled all our wishes and went the extra mile (literally) to give us the best experience. He was so polite and kind and funny and educated. He told us not only about the animals and nature but also about the country and its people. He trully brought Africa closer to us. We have seen the big five (all animals at least 3 times except for Rhino which we saw once). If you are abut to book a tour, ask James if Manfred could be your guide. You won't be sorry.
What I liked about our itinerary was that it included enough time to actually see all the animals and at the same time experience all of the national parks. We flew in to Serengeti and then drove towards Arusha, where we flew from at the end of our trip.
All the drinks, food and everything else was provided by the tour operator and the hotels. I would recommend Moyo tented camp (an elephant and a giraffe visited it while we were eating lunch) as it is new and not so crowded. The car was really comfortable. I would recommend to bring at least one shirt for each day as it gets sandy because of the road. Also bring some sweaters as it tends to get colder at night.
