It is hard to believe this company is still in operation!!
This company stole thousands of dollars from my family. We prepaid for our safari vacation. Just before arriving we were tiled they were bankrupt. No one picked us up at the airport. Hotels were reserved but unpaid. And they were untraceable at their office in Arusha or by email. There is no way they should be allowed to operate. They are a criminal organization. Stay far away.

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.

Amazing !
Our trip was a pure concentration of happiness sharing and beautiful meetings.
Tunu was absolutely perfect, she was able to accompany us during the preparation with benevolence and enthusiasm.
And we had the chance to share with her a moment of complicity around a drink at Diani beach.
Our guide, and what a guide! Badri was great with us, he was able to answer all our questions and was of a very pleasant company, we often had lunch with him, nothing better to improve a level of English a little hardworking! We even shed our little tear!
In short, you will understand, you can launch your eyes closed in this adventure with Tammy Tours, Tunu and Badri.
We will never thank them enough ...

Kenya and Tanzania Safari
“My husband Fredick and I recently took a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Hudson our consultant was very knowledgeable and helpful and put together an excellent tour for us. He tended to all details, managed to fulfill every request we had. and everything went according to plan. Hudson met us at our hotel and explained our itinerary. When we came back to Nairobi after our safari, we met him again. We would definitely go through Hudson again and will tell any of our friends who may be interested in a safari in Kenya or Tanzania about Roaming Africa Safaris”

Helpful and Responsive Tour Operator
The Adventure My Take team was very helpful from planning through the safari. They were flexible when I had to change my dates and even picked me up at the airport after midnight when my flight was delayed. They answered all my questions right away. The safari itself had great. The accomodations met my expectations. The animal sightings were great. We saw the big 5 and many more!

Nightmare - Do not use this safari company
There are many bad reviews of this company. 14% are 1-star on TripAdvisor as of this writing. Please listen to them to save yourself the money, hassle, and discomfort my daughter and I endured, as well as a threat of bank account fraud.
We were picked up at the airport as scheduled, but in an old, broken safari vehicle with broken seat belts and an overall dirty, filthy condition.
We were immediately told we needed to pay an additional $200 per person on top of the $1,750 per person we had already paid. She said the additional $400 would be to stay at a tent camp, not the upscale Serena Hotel we were promised and paid for. THIS IS A DECEPTIVE SCAM. It apparently happened to the last two reviewers as well.
We went to this tent camp, which we were promised was as upscale as the hotel, but it was far from. These accommodations were subpar to what we paid for and what we were promised. This was a true bait-and-switch. We demanded to be taken to the hotel we prepaid for, and the driver refused to take us. Martha didn't answer the phone. The driver said he didn't have the money or reservation for our hotel we were promised and we were again stuck in this very basic tent camp. We felt as though we were being held against our will in the middle of nowhere.
The safari vehicle itself was broken down and in poor condition. Some issues included broken off seatbelts, a broken hood latch so the hood kept bouncing up in our view, the radio didn't work, and the car was unkempt and dirty. It was not comfortable, particularly when we paid for a premium experience.
The only good thing was that we saw a lot of animals. The driver was unprofessional and smelled (poor personal hygiene).
At the end of the trip, we were supposed to go to the airport to depart. We thought we were on the way to the airport, and the driver took us to a gas station. At that point, Martha (from the beginning of the trip) got into our vehicle. The driver took us so slowly to the airport, we felt we were behind held against our will, as Martha accosted us about an email complaint. She threatened to have us arrested.
We eventually made it to the airport and they refused to let us out of the car. They threatened us and yelled at us. Finally, 45 minutes before our international flight time, we were able to get out of the car and rush to our flight.
After returning home, we wrote a negative review here on TripAdvisor. The tour company contacted us and agreed to a $900 refund if we removed this review. They never sent any partial refund. They told us they would only send any partial refund if we gave our bank account routing and account number, which is the last thing anyone should ever do with their bank account. They would not refund to our original payment method or send via Western Union.
This company is fraudulent and made me and my daughter feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Do not go with your family. Do not go with your friends. Do not use this tour operator under any circumstances. Take your money and your business elsewhere. You will have a much better trip for it.

Experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend booking with Seven by far!
I did a 14-day tour of Kenya and Tanzania visiting Samburu, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Amboseli. Everything about this trip was great. I was well taken care of from arriving at the airport until departing. The itinerary was followed according to plan and was really good in terms of travel time per day and ample time for game drives in each location. My guides Nick (Kenya) and Cosmas (Tanzania) were amazing. Great guys to hang out with, kind, funny and excellent animal spotters! Some of the highlights of this trip (besides the obvious of seeing LOTS of animals..) has been flying a hot air baloon over Masai mara, the flight from Tarime airstrip to Seronera airstrip in Serengeti and the location of some of the accomodation. I specifically loved staying at the following places: Serengeti sopa lodge, Ngorongoro sopa Lodge and Ol tukai lodge (Amboseli). All three have amazing views to complement a cold beer after a full day on the Savannah. I am alreday looking forward to experiencing some more of Africa and when the time comes, I will not hesitate to contact Sylvester Sila again to discuss the next itinerary.

Beautiful immersive experience in Mozambique
Highly recomendable experience. I went to Maputo Special Reserve, not far from Maputo city, such an amazing day with several animals, nice athmosphere, good lunch & snacks, friendly and helpful guides. Safari truck is a must for this kind of day and Mussiro Trips is the only tour that can provide it.
