Amazing experience
We really enjoyed our 4 day trip with Dancing Simba and especially with our driver Jackson and cook Ramon. Jackson is the one of the nicest guys we have met and really enjoys his work while showing us all the beautiful animals and surroundings of the national parks. We had a lot of good meals thanks to Ramon during the morning, day and night. We would recommend booking a safari trip with Dancing Simba and if possible ask Jackson to be your driver, you’ll love him.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience with Polecat Safari
We discovered Polecat Safari online and from the moment we reached out, James promptly contacted us. He created our safari to perfectly match to our needs and preferences. The communication was professional and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process.
Upon our arrival in Arusha, we were greeted warmly, making us feel instantly welcome. Our first night was spent in a comfortable hotel, allowing us to rest after the long flight.
The next day, we were introduced to Manfred – an absolute outstanding guide. Manfred truly made our 7-day safari unforgettable. His deep knowledge, passion, and dedication to sharing the beauty of his homeland through every day. Thanks to him, we witnessed the awe-inspiring Big Five. He navigated us safely through the Serengeti, constantly on the lookout for those rare, "once-in-a-million" moments that make a safari so magical.
The accommodations curated by the Polecat Safari team were perfect, adding even more comfort and excitement to our adventure. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and we wouldn't change a thing about our trip.
If you're considering a safari, look no further – book your adventure with Polecat Safari. Invest in the experience, request Manfred as your guide and prepare for an unforgettable journey. This was hands down one of the best decisions we've ever made and we can't recommend them highly enough

Helpful and flexible
It was a great time with Jocky, our driver James was super knowledgeable and we got to see all the big 5 animals. They did a great job of keeping to schedule. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe and there were other solo travelers in the safari as well.
The only room for improvement would maybe be in the communication around how long we had at each stop, since we had to cut some places short because of other travelers departing for different safaris. Still, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I would recommend Jocky for Kenyan safaris.

Escellent service with good price
The communication with Lida was very smooth, without any attitued or feeling of beeing pushed or rushed for, answered even very late and put of office hours, so we tailored the trip according to our appeal towards lodges and they gave much better prices than other bigger operators!
Went from Nairobi- Amboselli- Tsavo West&East, down to Mombasa and Diani Beach was a lovely way to get from Nairobi to beach without extra flight! Our driver Mbaruku was very good driver and knowledgable in pleasant in communication!
Overall very good experience, though due to the rainy season and grenery ee were not able to spot any lions, but lots of elephants heards and giraffes, and overall scenery was impressive and diverse!

They almost got us killed
We went to five safaris between Kenya and Tanzania. We flew in small planes from one safari to the other. They booked us in old planes with only one pilot. During our last journey they substituted the aircraft operator with a chartered one. They plane did not take off, went off the the landing strip into the bushes. We did not got killed by miracle. Still waiting for an explanation of what happened. In general, an extremely expensive trip with very poor safety conditions. Glamping and hotel accommodations as well as food was extremely good.

Absolutely splendid!
All the way through the entire process Splendid Vacations were terrific. I couldn't have asked for more. Very communicative and helpful on itinerary in the lead up and then when our flight was delayed by 4 hours. Our guide - Augustine - was excellent. We saw all we'd hoped for and felt extremely well looled after.
