PERFECT trip thanks to African Polecat Safaris! Trek and Safari. JOIN THEM!!
I just spent 2 fantastic weeks in Tanzania thanks to African Polecat Safari, mainly James and our crew Inno our driver/guide, Hassan our trekking guide, Michael (sorry for the likely wrong spelling) our 5**** chef, and our porters.
We felt safe and relaxed all along our trip. The whole crew took really good care of us. We felt special compared to other tourists because we had unique experiences that they didn't have the chance to live.
The communication with James and our guides was great, their professionalism was perfect, and their sympathy and hospitality extremely warm.
It was my first safari and I'll never forget it.
The food was great, every single day! The diversity, quantity, and quality! It's just impressive how they managed the logistics. We went for the camping option, and we were the only ones sleeping in a camping bed (not on the floor). What a comfort!!
If I had to go again to Tanzania (which I hope I will), I'd never waste my time checking other agencies: I'd simply African Polecat.
Thanks again to all our crew for those terrific and unforgettable holidays.
Deeply coming from my heart.

11 Days on an unforgettable safari with Tony
One month ago, my friends and I returned from a 11-day trip with Tony Mobile Safari. I've been on a few safaris, and Tony is definitely the best guide I've been with. He really knows his wildlife, has great patience, and does everything to please.
He has a great team who are attentive to service, keeping a comfortable camp with great food. Tony is also a great guy with a good sense of humor :)
Okavango Delta, khwai, Savuti and Chobe. A lot of wildlife, beautifuls landscape, a lot of meat lovers, a good staff and Tony our excellent guide and driver, always well positioned for photos and more.....
I highly recommend Tony Mobile Safaris !

Best Safari ever! Competent, friendly and flexible operator.
My girlfriend and I booked a 5 Days Safari Tour. All questions we had before booking were quickly answered and a detailed Plan for the 5 Days was sent to us. Also a quick rebooking because of a cancelled flight was no problem. Alex and his whole Team are very kind and made us feel super confortable.
We were picked up by our tourguide Harun and the journey began. We had 5 beautiful and unforgettable days. We visited three different Parks, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater where we saw the whole variaty of wildlife of Tanzania. We let the pictures speak for themselfs. Harun our tourguide was just awesome. He is a really funny guy, kind and he really knew everything there is to know about the culture and the Wildlife of Tanzania. Thanks to him, his skills and a little bit of luck we saw lions eating their prey right next to us two times. A leopard was right next to our car and so much more. We really had a great time with our new rafiki Harun. Also the cultural day, our last day, was really cool. We learned about rice and banana farming, the different tribes and had a really great local lunch.
Also the accomondations were outstanding. The lodges were pure luxury with nice views beautiful rooms and very good food. The tented camp was really clean and confortable with delicious food. You sleep savly right next to wildlife of serengeti. It was a real higlight for us.
Overall the service was incredebly good. We enjoyed every minute.

Unforgettable Vacation
We were very pleased with the quality of the service we received from Kubwa Five Safaris. The company provided us with a comfortable, clean, and well equipped vehicle.
The guides were always courteous and polite, and had excellent knowledge of the places we visited. Nothing was too much for them all, and they pampered to our every whim when we wanted to stop for pictures or comfort stops.
We had a great experience.
I would definitely recommend this company and their wonderful guides.

Responsive and responsible.
The entire experience was smooth and extremely enjoyable. Communication for pick was easy, the lodging was very comfortable (and no mosquitos!), the food was great (and lots of it). The safari itself was more than I expected. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves.

The gravel roads are the worst of SANParks and not suited for sedan vehicle at all. Shame on you!!!
Don't go there, the gravel roads are so bad all attention needs to be on driving the bad road condition's , it's impossible to do game viewing at the same time. Sedan vehicles should not be allowed to enter the park!!!!

Perfect tour and unforgettable experience!
My family and I had an eight day tour. This was the trip we dreamed of for a long time and a big Thank you to Safari Avventura for having made it a wonderful trip, well organized and full of emotions, in short, an unforgettable experience!
We started to organize it in 2020 but due to covid we had to postpone the trip to July of this year. Thank you, Gianluca, for your patience and support in the organizational phase.
The first day was dedicated to visiting the waterfalls in Materuni, at the foot of Kilimanjaro, with an excellent lunch in the village and experience in the preparation of coffee, from the bean to the cup and then a visit to the Moshi market. Then, we started the safari and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Central Serengeti parks, up to Northern Serengeti park for the great migration. Each park is beautiful and has unique features, we saw so many animals, and of course the Big Five too. And the great migration, the endless herds of wildebeest, their crossing of the river, complete with ambushes by crocs, is something wonderful and unique!
Beautiful and interesting also the non-safari day to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes around Lake Eyasi to learn about their uses, and the hunting trip with the Hadzabe is simply unforgettable.
Congratulations to Safari Avventura also for the suggestion for the accommodations, both lodges and tented camps, very beautiful and welcoming! A particular note for the tented camps Tortilis (Lake Manyara) and Chaka (North Serengeti), a fabulous service in a fairy-tale setting. The awakenings at dawn in the heart of the savannah are beyond words.
And congratulations also for the management of the meals which was perfect. In addition to the excellent dinners in the lodges and camps, the lunches during the tours were "real" with food prepared by the various structures the same morning, never the classic sandwich box.
And finally a big thank you to our guide Aidan, very trained and always super kind, patient and willing to try to satisfy our requests. Great Aidan!
In short, a journey that is already and will remain in our hearts, with the hope of coming back soon. Thanks Safari Avventura!

Staff support couldn't be better
My husband and I arranged a tour through Ant and Costa at the end of August 2021. I can't say enough good things about their management and attention to the details of self-drive camping. Their communication before the trip was outstanding. I had many conversations with Ant via What's App before we left and, given that the pandemic was still a factor, it was very reassuring to have an in-person talk. Ant was exceedingly honest about the situation which, as a matter of fact, was quite safe.
We got meticulous instruction in the use of the camping equipment before we left. All of it is top-notch but it is also heavy and stored on the top of the vehicle so be forewarned. Roads to the campgrounds are long and difficult. Roads in the campgrounds are VERY difficult. All this to say that if we had not hired Scott to help us with this trip we would not have been able to make it. We are older (to say the least) adults so, of course, this trip would be "easy" for young, fit people. Older travelers should not underestimate the difficulty of manipulating equipment and driving on difficult roads.
With Scott's help we had a wonderful time. I have never appreciated birds and the sounds of animals as much as on this trip. Zimbabwe's park are not as developed as other country's but that is their virtue. You can have a true African bush experience here with almost no interference from other people. Quite unique!
This company is a gem. The cost of the trip was incredibly fair. You can count on Ant and Costa to arrange something wonderful.
