We booked 8Day Safari with this company. It was an unforgettable experience and money well spent
The pick was on time i was happy about that because I'm not a waiting person. The tour was spectacular there was so much to see it did live up to my expectations, the food was good and timely provided and the accommodation was neat too. It was a great unwind from this busy life of mine can wait to come back again.

It was amazing
It was really well organised!
Since we contacted them , they text us back in 5 minutes. Pick up at the airport, and once at the hotel, we could pay there (they gave us the option to pay at arrival).
Next day we started the safari and was incredible! with the best guide ever, Benson, explained us all the animals, and in 4 days we saw all of them!
Really professional! We had a great time with him and the food was also great!
Sleeping inside the natural parks was amazing! It made everything more authentic.
The team at the hotel was also really kind, and helpful.

It was amazing!
Everything was perfect! We have been on safari for 5 days. James arranged for us pick up from the airport, then we slept in his hotel and it was really nice. We communicated all the time through email and it was quick. In the morning the best tour guy picked us up and we were really glad for him. He explained us everything, he really knows animals, their behavior and he loves them. Our chef cooked the best food all the time! The whole tour was amazing! We saw all the animals except the rhino because of the season. It was everything well organized and we definitely recommend it!

Come fore the mountain, stay for the good times and crew
We booked a one day trip along one route of Kilimanjaro. We were expecting a nice walk through nature and catching a few cool sights along the way. We found this, indeed, but we weren’t expecting to also find three of the nicest, most knowledgeable, and genuinely fun people we’ve met while traveling abroad. I would recommend highly African Polecat as their knowledge, patience (particularly with our horrible Swahili), and genuine experience shows in every way. I hope to return the favor one day if they ever make it to the States!

Superb Value for Money & Incredible Animal Encounters
Humphrey stood out for being a particularly helpful and trustworthy tour operator, who went the extra mile to help us get our covid-19 test before the safari, at Mount Meru hospital, even kindly managing the funds transfer to the hospital. Our safari guide, Abdul, was a star - a genuine, kind and incredibly knowledgeable person who genuinely loves the environments and animals.
The camping was fantastic - all the sites had professional , helpful attendants who set up the spacious and comfy tents. Sleeping in the Serengeti and with Zebra grazing nearby on Ngorogoro crater was magical. Benson the chef cooked us hearty and delicious meals.
We had such a fun, awe-inspiring, comfortable trip. Incredible value for money, hugely recommend this professional and kind hearted company.

Very good value for money! :-)
The trip exceeded our expectations. Everything was excellent. Before the trip,James was super helpful, answering all our questions and making sure we were prepared for the trip. There were no last minutes surprises at all.
The car was nice and comfortable. Our guide, John, was an amazing guy. Super friendly and helpful and willing to share information with us while keeping us safe.
The food was amazing. Abdula, the cook, traveled with us and we were one of the few groups who had proper meals during the trip, and not sandwiches in a box. Not only proper meals but amazing meals!
The campsites were simple but had everything we needed, with a plus for being so close to the animals. The whole tour was amazing. I definitely recommend it!

Amazing, Amazing, AMAZING!
We initially booked our 5 day safari back in May and decided to go despite COVID-19 outbreak and flight cancellations.
We are grateful to Africa Polecat safaris for making this trip happen and highly recommend them to everyone.
Our special thanks go to James for his patience and flexibility with re-booking and our wonderful guide Adam for making
our visit to Tanzania so memorable.

Incredibile lifetime experience, amazing and unforgettable
I did a 5 days safari with them. We had a wonderful group of nice and funny people and our tour guide Malisa was I think the best tour guide you could ever wish for. He was so nice, funny and able to answer all of our questions. Due to him we were able to see all big fives... He told us to get up early so that we also get to see the more night active animals like the cheetahs. The food was great and the overnight stays in the Serengeti where the Hyenas joined us had been just incredible. During the night you could hear the hyenas laughing and the lions roaring as if they were just close to you. If your a wildlife fan, you shouldn't miss that opportunity. Even now when I see my pictures and videos I can't stop smiling. An experience I will never forget. Thank you so much for making this an amazing memory of my life.

The best thing that happened to us!
African Polecat Safaris is highly recommended by our family. This is the best company in Arusha. Everything was organized at the highest level, at the best price.
Our safari took place from Ngorongoro and Tarangire. We managed to see all the animals, and even the lioness hunt, which happens rather infrequently, our guide Lucas helped us with this. Lucas - you are the best guide, thank you! The hotels we stayed in are pretty good. It is worth noting fill tree lodge and his entire team - they are very responsive and kind people, we will definitely come back to you.
If we are in Tanzania again, we will go on a safari only with your company. Thank you so much!
