Incredible experience
We just came back from a dream vacation in Tanzania. Our 5 day safari followed by 3 nights in Zanzibar was fully organized by Soul of Tanzania. It has been an incredible experience made only possible by the unique professionalism and competence of this agency. From the moment I first wrote Soul of Tanzania until the day we came back home, I was in contact with Luis who supported us at all times. During the safari, our guide Kennedy was amazing, knowledgeable, and super fun. Overall the organization was spotless and everything went smoothly. The accommodation both during the safari as well as in Zanzibar was way above what we expected. I really can’t recommend soul of Tanzania highly enough.

Perfect experience with Claudious Tours & Safaris
We booked a last minute safari with Claudious Tours & Safaris and the whole process was smooth and without any problems. Any issues we had were quickly resolved. Communication was through email and the response times were very efficient. The safari itself was an incredible experience and our guide, Obama, was exceptional and went above and beyond. Answered every single question we had even if it was unrelated to the animals e.g. weather patterns in Kenya. He was very knowledgeable so we learnt a lot on our trip. We got to see 4 of the big 5 which was more than we expected. This was due to Obama's knowledge and quick thinking. It was a great experience overall and I would highly recommend booking with Claudious Tours & Safaris.

Immersive Safari with knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Our Safari experience was high quality from the time we were picked up from the hotel. Our guide, Peter, was welcoming and accommodating throughout the trip. He could spy animals from a great distance away, and enjoyed discussing the animals and their habits/habitats. Despite spending a lot of time in the Safari vehicle, we enjoyed seeing the Kenyan countryside, and even had the opportunity to visit a small Maasai tribal village. A great trip all around.

Overwhelms our imagination
We planned our safari tour a year in advance. Then I crashed on a bike but we did the tour anyway. We were nervous for the challenge it could be but George's excellent skills made the trip to the most memorable event we ever could dream of. He took us so close to the animals in an gently respectful manner and teaching us at the same time. I do strongly recommend that if you go on safari, go with George.

Not recommended for Kilimanjaro
I booked a Kilimanjaro climb with Tin Tin and was unfortunately was overall unimpressed and would NOT recommend this company for a Kilimanjaro summit. Highlights and lowlights are below.
Pro:
-Supporting a local KPAP company.
-The porters (Rashidi "happy happy", Ayubu, Gabriel, Lamiki, Rashidi) and camp manager (Mido) were kind.
Cons:
-Communication. The main POC, Fred, was very responsive at first. However I began getting email auto replies that his email was over quota after I had paid for my trek and it took him a week or so to respond to anything. My guide, Rama, was also hardly fluent in English. He could not understand questions I asked him.
-Safety. I am not convinced my guide was first aid certified considering he did nothing when I had a fever on the mountain. Health checks were not done twice daily with blood pressure and oximeter readings as originally promised.
-Experience. My guide made me uncomfortable with things like asking me to guess the age of all the other staff members in front of them and bringing the entire group into my tent with no warning when I was sick. He also did not pace well. During the summit hike, we hiked too quickly up the mountain and had to slow down a few hours in. It made for a frigid hike and I was unhappy to miss seeing the summit in daylight.
-Gear quality. My tent was not waterproof and had cigarette burn holes in the bug netting. I rented a waterproof bag from them and it had holes around the straps. I did not notice until my clothing was wet on the trip.

A team that wishes you well
We were 2 French friends who went on an expedition with John Salomon Moussa, our French-speaking guide for 3 days of safari. And well, we lived 3 days of dreams on safari in the northern parks. I do not tell you too much what you are going to live because we took full eyes. It was magical ! The whole Vervet team was super nice: Basili's advice and humor to help you design your trip taking into account your requirements is a real asset, Rachel for accounting (yeah, a woman in finance, I find it important to specify) and our driver and guide, John Salomon Moussa to spot the most beautiful animals and also, the funniest. We were treated to a fantastic welcome at the Lodge. Frankly a big thank you to the whole team. Don't change anything, you're on top. John Moussa, I hope that French travelers will come in numbers to allow you to continue to practice French. I recommend Vervet Safari to you and we hope we can come back to explore Tanzania with you.
