Posted on Jeremy SVerified Incredible Safari Expereince We had the most incredible 7-day custom safari with Velam Safaris through the Serengeti and Northern Tanzania. From the very beginning, Adam and the entire Velam team went above and beyond to make our trip special. They carefully crafted the perfect itinerary based on our interests and desires, ensuring every detail was thought through.One of the highlights was having a professional photographer join us, capturing every moment so we could fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The team’s knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was outstanding, and everything about the trip felt seamless and well-coordinated.The accommodations and food throughout the journey were exceptional, making each day feel both adventurous and comfortable.We can’t recommend Velam Safaris highly enough. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, they will make your experience special.Posted on Christine LVerified Valence, Outstanding Safari Guide! We had the pleasure and honor of having Valence as our safari guide for seven days in Tanzania this August. This was my first safari and my husband’s fifth, and Valence was by far the most knowledgeable guide we have ever had. With over 12 years of experience, he was professional, full of energy, and always checking in on us with his friendly “Are you good?” He helped us spot an incredible range of wildlife, from zebras and giraffes to lions and cheetahs, and he seemed to know the habits of almost every plant and animal. He could even anticipate animal behavior, from predicting where a leopard would move during a hunt to finding the perfect spot for the wildebeest crossing in the Mara River. He even bought us some roasted bananas to try since we were curious about local cuisine, which made the experience feel even more authentic and special. We also ran into some car issues during the trip, which is quite common on safari, but Valence quickly identified the problem on the spot. As an experienced mechanic, he made the repairs at a nearby town without disrupting our itinerary much. Every day with him felt like a fascinating biology lesson, and thanks to Valence, our safari was both unforgettable and in the best of hands. We would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari!Posted on Jiaming JiVerified Best Guide - Valence: The Driver Who Made Our Tanzania Safari Unforgettable – Big Five, Perfect Views & Hakuna Matata In Tanzania, your driver is everything — guide, protector, storyteller. We were lucky to have Valence, with 12+ years of experience and a heart of gold. He showed us all the Big Five, river crossings, even lions hunting. He knew every road, avoided dust and breakdowns, and always found the perfect viewing spots. “Hakuna Matata,” he’d say, and we believed it. From day one he called us family — and treated us like it.Posted on SwatiUtukuriVerified Felt like home in the midst of the jungle Being Single ladies we were taken care of so much and we felt so safe in the midst of the jungle with barely any network.

Everything was well planned, and the trip was fantastic from start to finish.The best part was seeing all the animals. Our guide took us on drives through Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, and many other animals in their natural homes. It was so cool to be up close to them.Our places to stay were really nice too. We stayed in comfy tents and cozy lodges. Waking up to the sounds of animals and eating tasty meals outside was so nice.What I liked most about Velam Safaris is that they care about the environment. Our guide talked about why it's important to protect nature, and I thought that was great.Overall, I had an awesome time with Velam Safaris. If you want to go on a safari in Tanzania, I definitely recommend them.

Here’s how you can book your safari with us: choose a tour that interests you, send us your request, and our team will confirm the details. Once everything is set, you just relax and get ready for your adventure—we’ll handle the rest.
You start your journey by submitting an enquiry via our online form. Include as much info as possible– the more the better! Details like travel dates, places of interest, budgets, and any special requests are valuable nuggets for us to work with. Note: there is no obligation; we are happy to answer questions and share our expertise in the hopes of creating your dream safari with you! (We only receive commission from the hotels and lodges you choose to book.)
Based on the information you provide, we’ll partner you with a Tanzania Safari Expert well-versed in your desired destinations, experiences, activities, accommodations, etc. Your Expert will introduce themselves via email within 24 hours (48 if it’s the weekend) and will want to spend some time learning more about you and your party’s travel preferences. They’ll follow up by sharing resources to help you create your perfect trip together.
Your Safari Expert will create custom itinerary options made for you to review together. You’ll receive access to a private online portal to view your itineraries, as well as learn more about the lodges, camps and activities proposed. Perhaps you’d like to compare a classic safari with an all-out luxury option? Maybe you want to mix and match into a new itinerary? The best trips are usually the result of some tinkering until you are 100% happy with your trip plan.
After settling on your preferred itinerary, your Safari Expert will make a provisional booking to hold every element (except flights) of your trip. These are valid for approximately 2 weeks before it’s released to other waiting travellers, so you have a chance to make any last-minute changes. We’ve seen people lose space in their dream accommodations so don’t drag your feet for too long!
A 30% deposit on all services (accommodations, road transfers, etc.) is required. When you pay this deposit, your booking is now confirmed. We’ll verify your trip with all our suppliers and ensure they have your and your party’s necessary travel details. Your dreams of safari are becoming a reality!
We understand that security and safety are of paramount importance to you. That’s why we partner with one of the world’s largest payment providers, PesaPal, allowing us to seamlessly accept credit card payments from over 135 countries. We also accept Visa and Mastercard payments, EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) payments, which offer you a discount and less transaction fees than a credit card. Payment links are found in your private online itinerary.
Once your deposit is paid, your personal Travel Coordinator who works with your Safari Expert, confirms your trip’s services (flight numbers, transfer times, etc.) and starts putting together your important trip documents. These include handy resources like how and what to pack, visa and medical requirements, and our in-depth destination guides. Securing travel insurance is up to you, although we strongly recommend it. We also suggest that you contact your doctor or nearest travel clinic soon to find out if you will need any vaccinations or malaria prophylaxis for the countries you are going to visit, as many require vaccinations several weeks before travel. Remember, your Safari Expert is with you every step of the way to answer any questions as you get ready for this adventure!
About 2-4 weeks before your departure date, your Travel Coordinator reconfirms each individual service, leaving nothing to chance. You will receive a trip document with useful and important information like your flight numbers, transfer times, confirmation codes, local supplier emergency numbers, flight luggage restrictions, tipping guides for each destination, foreign exchange policies, and more.
The day finally arrives! We’ve taken care of every little detail so you can relax and enjoy. And we provide you with a direct, 24/7 phone line operated by our Safari Experts to offer assistance at any time during your trip.
Upon returning home, your Safari Expert will follow up to get more details about how your trip went and ask you to provide us with feedback. What did you love and what missed the mark? Was there anything we can do better for our next traveller? We really value your honest feedback – it’s vital to our business and our commitment to excellence in everything we do. And like many of our clients, we hope this ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trip is just the beginning of your African story!
