7 Days Private luxury Safari to Serengeti & Ngorongoro
Description
This tour masterfully balances raw, high-stakes drama with refined, quiet luxury. It is a journey designed to put you at the center of the African narrative, focusing on intimate encounters with the Big Five—the Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant, and the rare Black Rhino—across Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes. What sets this experience apart is the "Luxury Nature" philosophy. Instead of standard excursions, you enjoy sophisticated picnic lunches overlooking the Tarangire River while elephant herds bathe below, and exclusive dining moments beside the Ngorongoro Hippo Pools. The itinerary carefully contrasts the adrenaline of tracking Serengeti Cheetahs with the serenity of hand-picked sanctuaries like Nakupenda and Embalakai. From the misty heights of the Materuni Waterfalls on the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the playful monkeys guarding our scenic lunch spots. It is the rawest version of the wild, delivered with a sophisticated, world-class touch.

Manfred! I know it was because of luck that we saw so many animals and even a live hunt! But I think half of that luck was having you as our guide. Thank you for the unforgettable experience. And thank you, Polecat, for organizing the most fantastic lodges for us!
It was an absolute privilege to host you on this journey. While the wild often keeps its secrets, Manfred has a rare gift for listening to the rhythm of the savannah. We are thrilled that his expertise led you to that breathtaking live hunt—a raw, powerful moment that few are fortunate enough to witness. At Polecat, we believe that a safari should be a harmony of adventure and elegance. It brings us great joy to know that our selection of lodges provided the perfect sanctuary for your spirit after long days under the Tanzanian sun. Thank you for trusting us with your adventure. Until the wilderness calls you back, we wish you many more unforgettable horizons
We booked a 7-day trip with Polecat Safaris, with 5 of those days being actual safari days. The first and last days were dedicated to arrival, departure, and related logistics. Ibrahim from Polecat Safaris provided us with an offer in no time and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Together, we were able to tailor the trip exactly to our preferences. On the day we arrived in Arusha, Ibrahim and Alex were punctual, met us at the airport, gave us a brief tour of Arusha, and brought us to our hotel. The real journey began the following day. Our safari guide, Benedict, accompanied us throughout the trip. He was always attentive to our needs and made every effort to fulfil our wishes. Benedict is incredibly friendly and has a great sense of humour. We got along wonderfully with him from day one. His extensive knowledge of wildlife and plants made the experience engaging and enriching—there was never a dull moment. We visited the following national parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Thanks to Benedict, we were able to see everything we had hoped for, including rare sightings of leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos. The accommodations and meals were also of good quality. At Moyo Camp in the Serengeti, we experienced the thrill of lions and hyenas roaming in or near the camp at night (it’s strictly prohibited to go out alone after dark). Other animals were also around, and we could spot many of them during the day. Overall, it was an incredible experience with Polecat Safaris, especially thanks to Benedict. A big thank you for making this trip unforgettable!

It sounds like you had some amazing wildlife encounters, including those elusive leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos! And we're glad you enjoyed the accommodations, especially the unique experience at Moyo Camp in the Serengeti. It's always exciting to be surrounded by the sounds of the African bush at night! Thank you for choosing African Polecats for your safari adventure. We're honored to have played a part in creating such unforgettable memories for you.
