Wonderful Family Safari
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
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

Great experience
Well organized tour. Our driver Richard was carefull and reliable. His experience and knowledge of the area made it possible that we even saw the big five. This and the selection of beautiful and luxerious lodges made the safari to one of our best experiences in our lifetime. Thank you Vervet Safari Tour. We would choose your service anytime again.

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

It couldn't be better
We spent 4 days with Vervet Safari Tour at Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our driver Maulidi was the best we could think of. We found all animals and we always felt secure - whereever we where.
The lodges they booked for us where on outstanding quality ( warm shower, great diner & breakfast choices, electricity and wifi ;-) ). There was truly nothing we missed.
Maulidi, Basili & Nicholas prepared a once in a lifetime trip !!!

Enlightening and Educating Safari
We used Vervet Safari in May 2017 as have always wanted to see the Great Migration. The whole experience was very well organised from landing in Tanzania to leaving after a fantastic safari. Our guide Basil was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure our experience was an unforgettable one. He always managed to get us in position for excellent sightings and helped us understand the behaviour of the animals. We will definitely be going back to Tanzania and I wont use anyone other than Vervet Safari and Tours for the trip.

Very special and an unforgettable, once in a lifetime journey
In July 2017 we took a 2 week trip Tanzania. Basili Agustino was our guide for 14 wonderful days. We had already taken many trips around the world, but had never had a guide like Basili. Not only was he an excellent driver but he was also interested in his guests, had an unbelievable knowledge of nature and wildlife and a unique drive to show his guests as much as possible. The safaris were incredibly fascinating and there was always something spectacular to see. Aside from the Big Five we witnessed something that has never been seen before and probably will never be seen again. The highlight of our holiday was spotting a lioness suckling a leopard cub. This is something that was previously considered impossible but thanks to Basili we were lucky enough to witness this. I highly recommend taking a trip with Vervet Safari and Tours Tanzania, it will be an experience you won’t forget.
