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
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.

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

Fun on our Trip to Ngorongoro and Serengeti
We joined a group of other travelers on the trip to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. They have an excellent guide in the name of Basili who worked so hard to make us happy and see most of the big 5 and other animals during our trip. Agnes was also great in organizing and coordinating this trip and ensuring that everything went smoothly.
For quality budget trips Vervet Tours is the best!

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.

Great Trip with a Great Company
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!!!

Great Machame Trek
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.
