3 days 3 parks Tanzania safari
5/5

We did the 3 days 3 parks Tanzania Safari with Vervet Tours with guide Basili. The safari tour started in Tarangire N.P. It had been raining and the animals had moved deep inside the park, the dirt tracks in the park looked treacherous but Basili drove the Jeep well in search of game. We were able to see herds of elephants, warthogs, gazelles, giraffes and many birds all which he knew by name and habit. In the evening we retired to Lake Burungi tented lodge - very nice, luxurious rooms and a beautiful view of Lake Burunge. Lake Manyara NP was the the other park that we visited. The place was teeming with all sorts of animals; more elephants, baboons, zebras, buffaloes, hippos-though we did not get a close-up view, crown-birds and tree climbing lions! Ngorongoro Crater was the highlight of the whole safari. We started off at the view point to marvel at the whole crater from the rim, then we went inside the crater. The crater has many different animals, some like the elephants that we had seen in the other parks. Some lions came very close to our vehicle!! We also saw 2 Rhinos! Wow!
A big thank you to the Vervet team for the wonderful safari

Unbelievable Fantastic Trip
5/5

This trip has impressed my family beyond our wildest imaginations. We did not think that the stories that we hear about Serengeti and Ngorongoro are true but we have finally experienced the moments and they are wow.
Our guide was Melkiot was very good, very knowledgeable and eager to please. He made sure we weer happy and kept on asking what we wanted and then he would get if for us!
The Jeep was in top condition and did not break down even once despite being driven on some bad roads.
The Lodges were very good and served excellent food. I particularly enjoyed the service at our campsite in Serengeti.
We saw very many animals and in the end we were thrilled and wowed by the adventure.
I recommend Vervet Safari Tours with no reservations. They are a great company and put together an amazing itinerary for us.

Great Trip with a Great Company
5/5

My family went on a 6 day with Vervet tours and we had the most amazing experience. We saw the big 5 and many other animals. My kids really clicked with our driver guide Nicholas who drove beautifully and also knows his way around the parks so that we got to see the best of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. He took time to answer all our questions and also added a lot of information about the culture, game parks and so much more. The vehicle was quite comfortable with good shocks as most of the drives are away from tarmac and we hardly felt a thing.
We were hosted in top class lodges with excellent service, great food and nice places to sleep. In general the whole tour felt like a really fantastic holiday where you spend the day in the African bush and the evening being pampered in luxury and comfort.
Great TRIP, Great COMPANY!!!
Fully recommended

Great Machame Trek
5/5

My wife and I recently did 6 days Kilimanjaro Machame Trek with Vervet Tours and it has been one of the most remarkable experiences of my life.
The climbing crew from Vervet comprises of experienced professionals whose duty is to get the Trekkers to the summit and back safely. Our chief guide Titto leads a well oiled team comprising of porters and a cook. They looked after our well being very well ensuring that we were fit and healthy all the time.
The food was very good as it was always fresh, hot and prepared by our cook. Titto encouraged us a lot with good advice on how fast to go, when to rest and how to tackle altitude sickness. When my wife and I got to the summit safely just before sunrise we wept tears of joy for we were finally on top of Kilimanjaro. We took several photos before beginning our descent.
We are very happy with Vervet Tours for giving us memories to last us a lifetime.
They are a great company with a great climbing crew and they will not disappoint.

Wonderful Family Safari
5/5

My family had the most amazing safari in Tanzania with Vervet Safaris a wonderful local operator who has given us the most wonderful experience. We arrived in Tanzania in a late flight and were happy to find a representative fro the company waiting to take us to our hotel. Very early the following morning Agnes from the office came to our hotel and introduced us Moody our guide for the trip. We had a detailed safari briefing and then left Arusha for Tarangire at around 8.30 am. Tarangire has mixed habitats with some grasslands, swamps and lots of baobab trees. There were so many herds of elephants, giraffes, baboons and we even spotted the African wild dogs which I understand was a lucky sighting as they are quite elusive.
Moody then took us to Lake Eyasi Basin where we spent time with a family of hadzabe hunter gatherers who live just by hunting and gathering wild fruit, roots and stuff. The following day took us to Ngorongoro Crater where we descended to the crater floor experiencing the beauty and abundance of wildlife conserved within the area. We also went to Ndutu area and saw the thousands of wildebeest and it was an amazing sight.
Vervet Safaris gave us the most wonderful tour for a very reasonable price and we recommend them to those that are looking to get value for money and not compromise on quality

Tanzania Adventure with Vervet
5/5

We just returned form the most amazing Safari with Vervet Safaris. Our friends recommended Vervet and we are lucky to have heeded to the their counsel as our trip has been glitch free from the beginning to the end. Rachel was our contact person an she has helped us a lot in creating an ideal itinerary and also ensuring that all our details and documentation was in order. She also did all our logistics and even assigning an Melkiot as our guide.
We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti where we tasted the true African adventure and saw the animals from close proximity in their natural setting.
Vervet has made the extra effort to make clients comfortable, the vehicles were comfortable, with WIFI, electric charging points, refrigerator, wet wipes and a host of other gadgets just to make our off-road game drive comfortable. Melkiot is very knowledgeable and brought the narration about Tanzania, culture and wildlife to us in interesting flows.
Tanzania is truly beautiful because I understand that there are many other parks some which are almost untouched and yet in these parks that we visited we had an amazing experience of elephant herds blocking our way, lions sleeping under our vehicle, cheetah clambering on top of the vehicle....... so many special moments to document.
If you are going to Tanzania then Vervet Tours is an ideal choice that will give you a wholesome experienc

Excellent experience. Vervet tried to accommodate all our requirements.
5/5

We were a group of 10 friends (5 couples) who visited Tanzania in February 2019. After getting quotes for safari from a few operators, we narrowed down our choice to Vervet. Dealing with Basili of Vervet was a pleasure; he was always positive and responded promptly. We expanded our program from safari and included golf at three locations and 4 nights in Zanzibar. Basili made all the arrangements. Besides the safari, there was hotel bookings in three places, booking of golf tee times, excess baggage on flight for our golf bags, transfers from airports, etc. Everything went without a hitch, and the vehicles provided were new and in very good condition.
As far as the safari itself is concerned, we tailored it to our requirements in consultation with Basili. We did the safari in two jeeps. Both the guides (Melkyori and Maloudi) were excellent and tried very hard to ensure that we saw all the game that we wanted to see; and we did see all the game there is to see. The six day safari covered Tarangire, Serengeti central and south, Ngorongoro Crater, and Manyara. I would strongly recommend Vervet and Basili.

Very good experience
5/5

Not always easy to choose an agency for a safari .. Vervet was perfect from the reservation, to the change of last minute plan. Our expectations in terms of accommodation have been respected. And we always felt pampered. I recommend. You will take full eyes.
