5 Day Honeymoon Safari
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Polecat Safaris. They organised our transfer from Zanzibar and ensured that everything went smoothly throughout the trip, even given we booked at short notice. Our guide, Frank, was brilliant from start to finish. He was knowledgable, friendly and welcoming, and we loved learning all about Tanzania from him. He ensured that we saw a great range of wildlife at a pace that never felt too rushed. Our only area for improvement would be that the safari jeep felt slightly older than some of the others we saw, however it was still perfectly comfortable. Overall, we would recommend Polecat Safaris for those looking to go on safari in Tanzania.

Great
5/5

Polecat was excellent in arranging the safari for me and my family. Our guide Alen was very informative and we were very fortunate to see all the big 5 and the Mara crossing. We would definitely recommend the safari which took us to North Serengeti, Central Serengeti and the crater.

5/5

A MIND BLOWING FAMILY VACATION – ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

We traveled as two families with one child, Polecat arranged every single detail perfectly. We stayed at the beautiful Nakupenda Luxury camps. The setting was stunning, and the entire staff was professional, kind, and deeply caring.

Our chef was fantastic, preparing delicious, customized meals exactly to our preferences. The manager and his team were incredible, supporting us with anything we needed.

Our tour guide for the game drives, Mr. Wizard, was absolutely perfect for our journey! He is incredibly nice, highly knowledgeable about all the places, and gave us a wealth of information with top-tier service.


A special thank you to Mr. James, the head of the ship! He is a brilliant organizer who offered a quick, good response at all times and tailored everything to our flexibility. Asante sana 👌👌👌👌.

5/5

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with POLECAT! From the very beginning, they were extremely responsive, professional, and attentive to our wishes. Everything was perfectly organized, and our 3-day safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly unforgettable. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip and enjoyed every moment of this incredible adventure. Thank you, POLECAT, for making our Tanzanian safari such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! 🌍🦁

The best safari experience! Made our honeymoon special!
5/5

We had the most incredible experience with African Polecat Safari for our honeymoon in Tanzania! From start to finish, they helped create an unforgettable itinerary that was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and luxury.

Every camp and lodge we stayed at was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. The safari itself was beyond anything we could have imagined. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, including rhinos and lions, and seeing these incredible animals so close and in their natural habitat was truly surreal. Very important always ask the lodges/camps if water/alcohol is included. It was very frustrating when we thought water was free but ended up having to pay for it or wine.

A huge part of what made our honeymoon so special was our incredible guide, Allen. He was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and made every day of our safari so much fun. Thanks to him, we even learned some Swahili along the way! He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience, and by the end of our trip, he truly felt like a friend. We were genuinely so sad to say goodbye to him.

Zanzibar was also absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to end our honeymoon. Everything was thoughtfully planned, and we always felt taken care of. If you’re going a ln excursion make sure to ask what payment they accept. At the hotel they said card was fine and it wasn’t we had to go to the atm and take money out.

We are so grateful to African Polecat Safari for giving us memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend them and if you’re lucky enough to have Allen as your guide, you’re in for something truly special! Asanti sana! 🐘🦁❤️

5/5

We had an onforgettable experience with our tour with PoleCats! I believe it is a relatively small Tanzanian owned operator and that made it an authentic and special way of visiting Tanzania. We had a tour of 11 days with highlights in serengeti, ngorongoro, Tarangire, Mto Wa Mbu and Lake Eyasi, visiting the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Our guides (Brian and Allen) were very kind en skilled and super nice to our children. We carry a special place in our hearts for this experience and our guide Allen. Were so glad for choosing PoleCats, it’s defenitely worth all your money.

5/5

It was the best experience of my life, and the guide (Allen) made it a hundred times better. Everything was well organized, the cook was excellent, and because it isn't a massive organization, the whole experience felt that much better and less impersonal
