I needed something very memorable for my 50th birthday and Ecoverde Travel delivered. Renatus and his team went above and beyond for a lifetime of memories with my family.
We did a two day safari to Tangarire and Ngonrigoro, it was very well organized. Godi is a very safe driver and spots the animals with great ease. The lodge was great with a swimming pool. It was an amazing experience !
