The best safari tours in town :)
We decided for a 6-day private camping safari and can really only say good things :) everyone has super effort and try everything possible to fulfill all wishes! Our own chef Viktor was really great and has enchanted us every day with great food ... our guide Richard was also awesome, he knew exactly where he can find the best animals for us!
In addition, Vervet Safaris has offered us the cheapest price, so it was a great stroke of luck! Since we arrived a day earlier and had some time left, they also went out to dinner with us, drove to the bank and accompanied us to a typical Masai market and all this at no extra charge! Just awesome :)!!
So if you are looking for a great safari, for a really fair price we can only recommend Vervet! We have rarely experienced such a great hospitality :)
Thank you Vervet for the great experience !!

Amazing Holiday in Tanzania
We just arrived back home from our amazing safari holiday in Tanzania that took us to Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. The whole trip was a life changing experience because we got so much more than we expected. Everything was well planned up to the last detail.
Our driver Basili was very good and he is the reason why our safari was so good. He was great company and phenomenal in selecting the right places where to get the animals which led to us seeing so many animals. His patience is remarkable letting us take all the shots we wanted as he described their habits and much more. He also helped as our translator when we visited the Hadzabe bushmen and the Maasai.
Overall this trip was amazing and given another opportunity I would not change anything!

Great Experience During Our Recent Safari
We have had a wonderful experience during our recent safari to Tanzania with Vervet Safari and Tours. We found our driver Melkiot amazing because he was knowledgeable and very experienced in guiding around the parks. He guided us well sharing a lot about Tanzania culture, history, animals, birds and general life.
The parks were beautiful, teeming with animals that we do not have back in Ireland, beautiful scenery like the Serengeti plains and Ngorongoro crater.
We had very great accommodations that were luxurious yet we had booked a mid-range package. We were even upgraded to an executive suite at the Ngorongoro Safari Lodge.
Special thanks to Melkiot for guiding us wonderfully and I recommend this company fully

Great Kilimanjaro Marangu Trek
My 2 friends and I recently did Kilimanjaro Marangu route trek with Vervet Safari Tours. Last year we went on a safari with Vervet Safari and loved the whole experience very much so it was a no brainer that we chose to go for the trek with Vervet Safari.
We had to prepare more for the trek and carried a lot of climbing gear more than we did for the safari.
We had Titto for our head guide assisted by Musa and they were a superb team. We also had 10 porters and a cook as part of our crew. The porters carried most of the party luggage leaving us with backpacks, they also set up the tents everyday and packed them in the morning. The cook as responsible for keeping us nourished and he did a great job. We had huge helpings of delicious food complimented with fruits.
Vervet have invested in great tents and bedding because we warm despite some nights being very windy.
We really had a professional team supporting us because we managed to reach the summit despite me and my friend Lucy suffering mild bouts of altitude sickness which Titto dealt with quite easily.
For those going up the mountain, consider paying USD 100 more to get the private mobile toilet because the public toilets maintained by the mountain authority can be quite messy and I am grateful that we heeded the advice from Rachel because the mobile toilet came in very handy.
I was even more impressed than the first time and we will hopefully go with Vervet to the Southern or Western Circuit and that must count for something!

Great Service From Vervet Tours
We had the most amazing time on our 5 day Northern Tanzania safari with Vervet tours. Our friends introduced us to this lovely local operator and we are happy that they did. Everything went on perfectly and done to ensure that we enjoyed our stay in Tanzania.
Basili was a delight to be around. From the moment he picked us at the airport to the last minute when he dropped us back he ensured we were taken care of.
We went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti and Basili is an excellent guide. The sheer number of animals that we saw is insane. Elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, lions, 3 leopards, wilddogs, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, flamingos, crocodile, hippos, pelican, wild geese.........
The lodges were very comfortable and luxurious serving us like royalty.
The vehicle was in great condition, quite new and drove very well in the rough terrain of the parks
We got first class service and we are happy to endorse this company to anyone going on safari to Tanzania.

Another Wonderful Adventure with Vervet Safari
We were a group of 3 teachers and 9 students from Halifax and just returned from our tour of Tanzania. We had such an amazing experience visiting the parks and communities in Tanzania. Our school has a continued connection with Vervet tours and we have not been disappointed. They are a very professional company with a rich history of social responsibility.
We went in two great off-road vehicles with 2 drivers who took great care of us in the wilderness exploring.
We visited Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara which are all different and unique in their own way. The experience with the Maasai, Hadzabe, and the local school in Karatu gave us great insight about the local communities.
We loved our experience with Vervet Tours and we'll be back next year for a different experience.

Fantastic Classic Tanzania Tour
We did the classic northern Safari with Vervet Tours and have had such a memorable and amazing experience that is beyond our wildest dreams. Rachel was such a darling in handling our booking. She promptly answered to our emails, made arrangements for our accommodations, park fees, pickup times and passed so much information. When we landed in the airport Melkior was there waiting for us. He was also our guide for the next 7 days. That evening we also met with Basili and Rachel who came to our hotel for the Safari briefing and also gave us lovely gift hampers.
Our guide Melkior took us to 4 lovely parks where we saw an incredible number of animals. The balloon ride over Serengeti was perfect. Moving slowly over the huge herds of wildebeest in the early morning and taking it all in. Another lovely experience was the viewpoint in Ngorongoro which has breathtaking views of the crater.
Tarangire and Lake Manyara were also fabulous.
This tour involves a lot travel between the parks but we hardly noticed as Melkior kept us busy with interesting stories and the vehicle was pretty comfortable as it is customized for the unpaved roads.
Our thanks go to the whole team from Vervet who were there every step of the way from the time we landed to the time we took off.
We have so many fond memories from our tour and we will tell all our friends and family about your exemplary service.

Fabulous Safari
We recently returned from a fantastic safari to Tarangire, and Lake Manyara Ngorogoro and Serengeti with Vervet Tours and it was just amazing. Our guide Jeffrey was super!!! From the moment he picked us from the Kilimanjaro airport to the dropped us back for our flight back home.
The parks we chose to visit were amazing, bursting with lots of animals, like the huge herds of elephants, giraffe, buffaloes and antelopes along Tarangire river, lions perched on trees in Lake Manyara, ostriches, rhinos, more elephants and lions on the tracks in Ngorongoro, thousands of wildebeest, zebras, cheetahs and more lions in the Serengeti. The landscapes in the parks is so beautiful, every turn brought something nice to see.
Our guide Jeffrey was a very knowledgeable, good humour and very well mannered as he always put our interests first. He would always check on us during the trips to ensure that we were comfortable in the truck, giving ample time to absorb interesting scenes and very informed narrations about a wide range of topics.
We are not new to safari however this time were really bowled over by the super treatment that we got Vervet Tours and we recommend this company without any reservations

5 days of Adventure in Northern Tanzania Iconic Parks
My dream of a wild African safari has finally been realized with this tour of Tanzania. We had a perfect company tha planned our safari to the last detail leaving nothing to chance. The pick-up and drop off at the airport, hotels and lodges was timely. We had an experienced and knowledgeable guide. The car was powerful built for the rough terrain. Accommodations were great. We saw more animals than we expected.
Vervet are experts and I recommend this company fully!

Great Safari! Well Done Vervet

Your team handled everything excellently - Rachel from reservations and our guide Melkiot were sensational. We appreciate all the efforts you made to make us happy. We had a fantastic Safari with plenty to see and extra nice accommodations.
Thank you and hopefully see you soon.
