Fun on our Trip to Ngorongoro and Serengeti
5/5

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!

Fantastic Trip
5/5

My wife and I booked a five day safari with Vervet Tours and it was everything that we wanted it to be.
Melkiot was an amazing guide from the time picked us from Kilimanjaro airport to the time he dropped us off at the end of our trip.
Our vehicle was comfortable and suitable for off-road driving in the parks. The parks in Tanzania are abundantly endowed with wildlife and we got to experience it in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire thanks to Melkiot superb guiding skills and experience.
The tented camps and hotels we were booked in were very good. We are vegetarian and they had a wide variety of vegetarian dishes to choose from and nice friendly staff.
It was sad to leave Tanzania and I will come back for another tour soon

Amazing 6 day Northern Tanzania Safari with Vervet Safari Tours
5/5

We went on a 6 day Northern Tanzania Safari with Vervet Safari Tours to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha. We had an unexpected and had to postpone our safari trip for a month and the company was very accommodating. They made new arrangements for us.
Our guide Moody is an amazing guide who was passionate about his work. He was knowledgeable, and you could just tell that he was very experienced. He knew a lot about the animals, the history of his country, the culture of the people, the land, and the tribes. We learnt a lot about Tanzania from Moody. My wife and I were very impressed with Moody. He gave us the experience of a life time. During our six days trip; we visited Lake Manyara National Park where Moody educated us on its history and even saw lions resting in trees, flamingoes, pelicans and lots of baboons. We also visited the Serengeti and saw many animals. We were very lucky to see cheetahs hunting. We also visited the Ngorongoro crater and Moody told us how it was formed. Moody took us to Arusha where we enjoyed local culture, danced to Swahili songs, and had amazing Swahili delicacies. The tour was incredible, under the great guidance of Moody.
We stayed in a mix of wonderful hotels and lodges that were comfortable and excellent service. Our experience with Vervet Safari Tours was phenomenal and we will be certainly recommending the company to all our friends.

Must be the best Tour Operator in Tanzania
5/5

We opted to go on our safari with Vervet Tours and Safari is a travel agency based in Tanzania because they had many positive reviews that they provided excellent services. I communicated with Rachel, with whom I made all plans prior to the trip. She was flexible and she tailored the trip to all my requirements and had Melkiot, our guide, waiting for us at the airport. Melkiot drove us from the airport to Rivertrees Inn where we spent our first night in Tanzania .
Our 6 days safari took us to Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti NP. Melkiot spotted a lot of animals during the game drives and was very flexible to our wishes and needs. My wife’s birthday found us in Serengeti, during dinner staff from Lemala Mara surprised us with a birthday cake and staff singing the birthday song, I later found out that our agency had paid for the cake!!!. That was an excellent touch
Thanks to Vervet Tours and Safaris for the incredible experience we had in Tanzania.

Great 5 day Safari in Tanzania
5/5

This year we had the most incredible vacation in Tanzania. We went there on a 6 day private safari with Vervet Safari and Tours to visit the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater national parks. The whole trip was a wonderful adventure, starting from the booking, the safari, to the trip back home. Vervet Safari and Tours worked hard to ensure we had the most amazing experience of our lives.
Our guide Richard was very punctual; he welcomed us in a very warm and friendly manner. Richard introduced himself and told us a lot of things about himself. I learnt that he had been a guide for more than 10 years. He showed us hundreds of different animals. I discovered that he was very knowledgeable when he started giving us facts about each animal that we encountered. He was also very patient with us when we insisted on taking a load of pictures with every animal we saw.
I almost forgot to thank Vervet for booking us in amazing camps and lodges where we spent our evenings after the day game drives. They were very comfortable and beautiful places to rest
Vervet has given us an unforgettable experience

Incredible experience !
5/5

We did a private safari for our 8 day honeymoon including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks with 1 stop at Lake Eyasi. Just 1 word: MAGIC.
It was a fantastic experience, everything was perfect and very well organized from start to finish. Basili, with whom we contacted through whatsapp from Switzerland, organized and confirmed everything before we left.
The lodges and luxury camps are amazing in terms of comfort, service and food, always delicious.
Our guide Moussa was passionate about animals and nature and taught us many things, he always knew where the animals were and could anticipate their behavior which led us to discover extraordinary moments like a leopard hunting prey.
We also met the Hadzabe and Datonga tribes and were alone to visit their village which is very nice because we really could exchange with them and share a great time.
It's a once in a lifetime experience so go with Vervet!

Wonderfully Designed Tanzania Tour
5/5

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.

Highly Recommended
5/5

We were recommended Vervet Safari Tours by my father in law, and they were excellent from the start when we contacted Basili during the planning stage. He was effective and thorough in his communication answering all our questions about the trip. Eventually together we came up with an ideal 5 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We found James our driver waiting for us at the airport. Ha was an outstanding guide in every way. Great company and a master at spotting and tracking animals. We sighted many different animals and birds with him and I believe that his years of guiding experience and knowledge of the places we visited enriched our experience. He was enthusiastic to share his insight on a wide range of issues in our discussions with him. He loves Tanzania very much and was proud to show it. Accommodations for the trip were above expectations, ideal for relaxation after a hard day in the bush. Thank you for organizing a perfect safari.
