We had the most fabulous trip. Brilliant from start to finish.
We were two couples on a 3 week trip which was one of the best trips ever. Our (quite specific :)), likes and dislikes were taken into account and each leg of the holiday was special in it's own way. It was great to be able to relax in the knowledge that everything was organised and anticipated in advance. I cannot recommend Benjamin and Siya Phambile more highly. In fact, we are already discussing our next trip, planned for 2023.

Dreams come true
The whole safari adventure was amazing. Thanks Innocent and Salim for your professional approach and quick response. This was a lifetime experience, that I will definitely repeat. From day 1 till the end of the trip everything was like living a dream. Being able to see with my own eyes that amazing nature, the wild and exuberant life, fauna, etc. was an unforgettable experience. The whole safari adventure was amazing. Seeing the animals passing by free is a once in a lifetime experience! Visiting places like Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire was incredible.

Highly recommended!
Max was friendly, helpful and professional from the start to the end. He picked us up from Ifakara, took us to Mikumi national park for a night, and then on to Dar (we unfortunately didn't have more time to spend there). We had some great game drives in Mikumi - Max's car is excellent, he is incredibly knowledgeable about the park, plants, animals, birds... And brilliant at spotting them! I have done a number of safaris, and this was truly the best. We will certainly be back!

Awesome Safari; Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire
We had an awesome time on safari with Vervet Safari Tours. We found Jasper waiting for us when we landed in Seronera airstrip, Serengeti with his offroad four wheel drive and inside of 10 minutes we started enjoying fantastic views of wildebeest, zebras, warthogs and elephants roaming the expansive grassland.
Exploring Serengeti with Jasper was a lot of fun, because he knew all the animals we encountered, their behaviour and other interesting facts about wildlife. Ngorongoro Crater was equally captivating because the animals were abundant and the views jaw dropping. The other nice surprise was the visit to the Hadzabe bushmen at the Eyasi Basin, Tarangire was a little bit underwhelming, probably because we had seen so much action in Serengeti and Ngorngoro.
The accommodations were great too; comfortable, with excellent staffs and good food.
Vervet Safari Tours is the best and I have no doubt that you would also find them a worthy choice.

Wow just awesome, great advice, everything went perfectly.....
We originally booked this tour in 2018, so with everything going on, we had to cancel and move it twice. Each time, we had the same rooms and hotels. I was extremely impressed with the hotels B&B's on the garden route. It seemed like each was better than the next, each detail was taken care of. The Safari at Tau game lodge was also perfect. We have the family suite so we had a common living room with our friends which worked out great. I would certainly use east cape tours again. They were available while we were on the road and got back to us quickly when we had questions and provided good timely answers. they were very helpful.

Great half-day safari
We booked a last minute half-day safari at Nairobi National Park and it all went smoothly. Saw lots of animals and it is a great option if you short on time!
Excellent
Everyone looking for a well planned experience then this is the best company to approach.

Do not use. They will scam you.
They charged us for a private car to Moshi from Nairobi. The car broke down 1 hour into the journey then we had to get a bus the rest of the way. A 6 hour journey took us 10 hours. They refused to give any money back. We negotiated they take us back to Nairobi in a private car for £65 extra which was agreed. The driver turned up late in a safari jeep which is meant for off roading and not to travel a long journey. This was ridiculous for a 7 hour journey. They then agreed to swap for the original car (that the GM had decided to use herself instead of giving it to us despite us paying for it) that was agreed and the GM herself turned up an hour late again and had no excuse and refused to offer any explanation. Literally when asked she said "I have no explanation and don't want to talk about it". Because we were so delayed, our journey ran into the evening when it was dark and we then pulled over by the police who extorted another $60 of us. During this time, the driver left us alone in the car and I am so sure he was involved in the extortion as when we were originally pulled over he said something to them and then left us alone and only got back in the car after we handed the money over. Do not use this company. They are involved in scamming. They take your money and do not deliver. Don't ruin your holiday. Absolutely awful. I will be telling local hotels not to use them too in order to save guests being ripped off and lied to. We wasted 2 whole days of our trip because of their incompetence. The drivers name was Goodenough and the lady who is the GM and an absolute joke when it comes to looking after customer safety and service, her name is Beatrice Dimitris Dallaris, General Manager of Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge and Classic Tours and Safaris and Ngurdoto Shuttle Services. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
