World Class Safari in Serengeti
We saw a lot of animals in our Serengeti and Ngorongoro 3-day long trip, however I think there were many things that were supposed to be better and different! I very much understand that there is always something that is not going according to the original plan, so I was not expecting a perfect trip. Eventually, what I was pleased with was James’s follow-up after the trip which I believe made it different from other companies that I was considering when booking.

Amazing
We all had an amazing moment. The safari is amazing. It isn’t that expensive for a safari which was incredible. The hotel was also very nice and the people as well. Thank you very much!

Kind, caring, considerate, safety oriented, knowledgeable, wonderful with children
My sister and I took my children (ages 4 & 9) on a two week safari with African Polecat Safaris in northern Tanzania. It was the trip of a lifetime. Our hearts and minds were blown open by the people, culture, wildlife, history, art, and landscapes of Tanzania.
This safari team was outstanding. The logistics and quality of the tour were excellent. Our guide and chef were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and experienced. They were also wonderful with the kids. We all have so many special memories from our adventures.
We chose this safari company because we wanted our money to go directly to Tanzanians. This company is owned and operated by locals, as are their vendors and partners. We recommend them highly!

Always at disposal, quick and effective
I was travelling alone but I wanted to make a group Safari to share the experiences.
James was great in finding a solution to fit my needs and desires, and at the same time allowing me to visit Lake Natron with a fantastic private journey.
The staff of the company and those who collaborates with him are nice and friendly people.
Thumbs up for African Polecat Safari!

I would highly recommend and will book myself again undoubtedly
we found this tour operator online. We were offered a good safari for a decent price and this was delivered accordingly. we had an amazing guide and driver named Ayubu who was very informative patient and enthusiastic. our cook was called Innocent and he provided delicious vegetarian meals. we saw such wonderful animals at very close range including a pride of lions hunting a Buffalo!!!(distressing yo watch though)
I would highly recommend African polecat safaris and will also come back via them again. hope they branch to uganda and Botswana too. very trustworthy pleasant professional and excellent in service

Professionalism, exquisite service and fabulous experience
I booked my weekend experience in Arusha online, without any previous contact in the Region. After reviewing the reviews I chose James and his organization. During the whole process of selection of activities and from the pick-up at the Kiimanjaro airport, the attention was exquisite and the experience was just as it was sold to me. Punctuality, quality, extreme kindness. I recommend African Polecat Safaris for the organization of ad- hoc tours. James and his magnificent team of collaborators will not let you down!

I ended up having 4 different tour operators and all were well maintained and eager to work.
African Polecat Safaris did a great job of accommodating me onto different tours even though I was traveling alone. Communication was difficult at times but they really strive to satisfy the customers. I had great weather so the tours were amazing and well worth the money. Polecat gave off a trustworthy vibe to where they really make you feel safe. I plan to go back and use them for climbing Kilo.

Best Safari in Tanzania
We had a great tike during our safari in Tanzania, our guide Lucas was the best and the cook Meshak made some delicious food. I would totally recommend you booking your safari adventure with African Polecat

Amazing experience with a trusted company
I made with African Polecat a 4 days Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) on the end of January 2022 and the experience was simply incredible. The only regret was why I did not book a longer Safari!!
I organized all the trip with John, who also works as a guide at Kilimanjaro trek for the company, and he was all the time taking care of me. He is available via Whatsapp all the day long and he answered in a perfect Engligh all my doubts while planning the trip. Booking a trip like this from abroad it's complicated but with African Polecat all was really easy. I highly recommend booking with them!
I decided to go for the camping option and all was great. The tents were really nice and the food was tasty. You definitely feel like home while being in the heart of the African savanna surrounded by a dreamlike landscape. What else can you ask for?
Hope to see you soon Jonh!!
Un fuerte abrazo des de Andorra!
