Unbelievable Fantastic Trip
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.

3 days 3 parks Tanzania safari
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

Great Safari! Well Done Vervet
We are writing to tell you that we were very impressed with the wonderful service from your team during our safari to Arusha National Park, Tarangire National park and Ngorongoro last month. 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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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
