Living the dream in Tanzania
5/5

Basili and his team did a fantastic job showing us the wonders of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar. His ability to find animals in the bush is fantastic, there was never a dull moment. The hotels, lodges, and tent camps he booked us with were always very nice. When things didn't go as planned, Basili and his team worked hard to quickly put things back on track. Tanzania is a beautiful place to experience the nature and people of Africa.

An unforgettable experience! Fantastic guide: knowledgeable, respectful and fun.
5/5

The tour was well organized en the safari very intensive and I mean this in the good sense. We saw a lot and felt we got everything out of trip, without a fully loaded program that’s not adjustable to your groups needs. I’m single mother and did the tour with 2 teenage kids - boy&girl. We all enjoyed the great guidance from Basili from Velvet. He helped take beautiful pictures and we laughed a lot in our jeep. It was wonderful! I would recommend Basili to anyone even my most critical friends!!!

Unforgettable-The elite of African safari with the best guides of wildlife !
5/5

Very special from the first moment, fulfilling all our expectations and more. Visiting Serengeti National park, is amazing to watch all these magnificent landscapes with calm and quiet. Our guide -named Basili- was always in active with too many knowledge about animals and a" sharp eye" to see everything,first of all. Nothing to loose !! Lions,leopard ,cheetah,rhino,buffalos ,elephants,wildebeest.Everything you expect to meet,is here .
Ngorongoro area,except that it is a historical place, it has a variety and quantity of wildlife,especially the crater. There, you can see all the kind of animals, with the special guide,of course. But not only for the animals ! There, you can leave yourself for ever,
watching the miracle of life!

Great experience
5/5

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.

Enjoyable 6 days Tanzania Trip
5/5

My wife and I booked a 6 days trip with Vervet Tours and had an enjoyable time in Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. They designed our trip to include all our desired locations and being a private safari Basili our guide concentrated his efforts on our wishes. We were pleased with the accommodation arrangements that Vervet made for us. Basili showed different types of animals in the parks and also took us to visit a Maasai Boma. We were truly impressed by our trip to Tanzania and thank Vervet tours for putting everything together so well.

Vervet Safari : Checked the list of every African experience we could have asked to see and do!
5/5

Vervet customized our visit to see all the sights we wanted and added other experiences to make Africa feel as welcoming as coming home. We always had wonderful accommodations, food, transportation and knowledgeable guides. The challenges of traveling during COVID testing requirements were handled efficiently- no small feat. We highly recommend Vervet.

Best experience ever!
5/5

Vervet Safari is a professional organization with a lot of knowhow. The communication with Basili was very clear. We had a year delay because of COVID-19. No problem and change plans was OK for them. We booked a 8-day safari trip to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. Our driver Moses was waiting at the airport and give us a warm welcome. Moses knows a lot about all the animals, landscapes and the country. Our chef Edwin makes good food and after a long gamedrive he welcomes you with a smile. Our best memory? The leopard with his meat in a tree. Amazing!
Thanks for everything and see you next time guys.

We asked for reimbursement of 1300 euros sent before covid period.. Basili told us to wait due to lack of travellers he had problems to refund tje money. We understood. Now 2 years after we ask for reimbursement and Basili does not reply. WhatsApp email... incredible... i definitely not recommend this tour operator

Very special and an unforgettable, once in a lifetime journey
5/5

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.
