Review about Serengeti National Park by Pierre Andre Plotkins
Endless grasslands, stretching to the horizons, provided the stage for the great migration of wilderbeast and zebra ! Due to wet season abundance, there were great exspances of flowers carpeting the ground. Close encounters with wild life were common. Generally, animals were undisturbed by the presence of land cruisers. Some prey animals were more skittish than others. Sightings of the very cute individual tiny Dikdik quite near, were pleasant.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Pierre Andre Plotkins
The massive congregation of Flamingos, seen up close was stunning !
Some sectors of forest vegetation, were almost prehistoric in appearance. A close encounter with a teen mother elephant, with the tiniest baby, was surprising. A wide variety of large and small bird life, was impressive.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Pierre Andre Plotkins
In March vegetation was lush, but there was a lot of flooding. Land cruising was in effected by flooding ! Wild animals were less stressed due to abundant grazing. Encounters were numerous, and sometimes surprising. On several occasions, were fortunate to witness rare colors of species.

A Great Trip
I had a really great time visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was peaceful and beautiful. Watching animals in their natural environment was something new for me. I truly enjoyed every moment of this trip.

Amazing Safari Experience
My trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania was amazing. The views were beautiful and the wildlife was incredible. Seeing a lion in real life was the best part for me. It was a special experience that I will always remember.

Wonderful honeymoon safari experience with knowledgeable guide!
African Polecat handled everything as detailed in the itinerary without any issues at all. Our guide, Francis, is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and could spot even smaller animals from very far away even while navigating the rough terrain of the parks. He is also a very careful driver and even helped someone broken down pretty quickly on the way to the Serengeti. We did have a breakdown that couldn’t be fixed without help from the local mobile mechanics, but that whole process only took maybe a couple hours which was impressive because we were out in the middle of the park when it happened (for the record, vehicle breakdowns were an extremely common thing so I do not fault Francis/African Polecat for this and only include this to show that they are ready to handle unforeseen problems). Overall, I would recommend African Polecat and hope to travel with them again in the future on another safari in the future!
