Amazing Masai Mara
The full arrangement was top class. The pick up/drop off, drive to Masai Mara and Nukuru, lodges in these location were all excellent. The drivers/guides were very courteous and went out of their way to make our safari an amazing experience. Our tour agent Mr Peter came to our hotel just to welcome us on our arrival. My 2 year old got very attached to our guide and still remembers him. Excellent service!! Highly recommended

Very Organized, responsive, planned an amazing 10 day safari for us in Kenya and Tanzania!
We planned our trip almost one year in advance. In between this time we had a lot of questions on our first 10 day safari and trip to Africa. We were always responded to by email promptly and courtesily. Coming from Canada we made our flight arrangements there and Takims ensured our flights to each of 5 camps was organized very well. They ensured that they had our itinerary planned in accordance with our flight requirements. They are extremely organized and also custom planned our trip within our modest budget. This took a lot of back/forth but I never felt I was inconveniencing Takims with questions. Once we arrived we were blown away with the accommodations, service, staff and meals. We felt safe at all times both on safaris and in accommodations with only canvass tenants - experience of a lifetime. One driver in particular stands our for us - Nixon, he was a lot of fun, extremely knowledgeable on wildlife and we very much enjoyed his company at dinners. We would absolutely recommend Takims to anyone!

Wonderfully Designed Tanzania Tour
Vervet Safari and Tours were able to design a wonderful 5 day safari of Northern Tanzania to the following destinations; Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Communication with Basili was prompt and easy and so was the payment. Our actual tour was perfectly guided by James and ran without any hitch. He is a walking repository of facts and figures on the parks we visited. Our favourite experiences were the great migration and descending Ngorongoro crater. The hotels were perfect. Sure we had one of our best tour experience as a couple.

Good organisation, excellent service
I spent a wonderful holiday in Uganda, thanks to the very good communication and services provided by the guide. It allowed me to get to know the country and its friendly inhabitants, beautiful nature, safari with many wild animals. I felt completely safe.

A great month around all Namibia!
An unforgettable holiday, in which, without any stress, we were able to visit all the main attractions of Namibia, all the time in company with our super guide David.
Not only safaris (obviously very exciting), but also waterfalls, canyons, mines, deserts, beautiful landscapes, cities rich in history, and much more.... Always with the competent and friendly advice of David, which allowed us to learn a lot about the country and take full advantage of our holiday. The route offered to us was varied and fascinating, with stops at various lodges/accommodations that were really very beautiful and spectacular.
Something that I would suggest to anyone without any doubt!

Great Safari - Great atmosphere - Great Pembury
In a very short time and with a limited budget (for a safari), Tammy organisez us a beautiful trip in The Kruger NP. In one week, we visited tree very different places with each one its particularity and its own environment. We all loved them.

I was totally blown away. Hospitality at it's best!
Great customer care. A team of organized individuals. Great meals. Safe accommodation. And great hospitality. I appreciate.

Once in a Lifetime Safari with the Best Driver!!
We had the most amazing experience with budget safari zanzibar. We had booked everything in advance and the company was so organised that we knew exactly all the details of our trip. Our driver - Severin - was the most amazing person we met in Africa. Aside from the fact that he was always on time and very experienced in driving the difficult safari roads, he was very fun to be with and explained every little detail about the African Savannah. We had so much fun riding together and looking for animals. Had it not been for him, we wouldn't know that ostrich do a weird dance while mating or that cheetah don't touch their food if the hyenas get there first.
The places we stayed were so authentic. We booked the mid-budget safari (4 days and 3 nights in Manyara, Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro) and we spent our nights among the wild animals. We got to see the sun rise in the middle of the Serengeti while drinking the first coffee of the day, and this was one of the best things we have ever experienced.
Before you embark on your safari be aware: the animals are not in the middle of the road waiting for you. This is not National Geographic. You have to look for them, and this is the best part. Not knowing what you will see each day and accepting what the park gives you is the true safari experience. While you shouldn't judge a safari by the animals that you got to see, we came up close and personal with lions, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, monkeys, giraffes, hippos, ostrich, and really amazing exotic birds. We can't wait to return to Africa!!
