The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from one year to another although, your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best.

Posted on Jesse MVerified The Best Tanzanian Safari! Our trip with Velam Tours was an absolutely magical experience that exceeded all our expectations. The itinerary they crafted for us was perfect, allowing us to witness the stunning landscapes of the area surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro and the incredible wildlife in both Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks. Velam Tours was incredibly flexible, accommodating our request to switch few of the lodges for places we had found ourselves, which we truly appreciated. It made the trip feel even more personalized. Our guide, Valance, was simply outstanding. His knowledge of the animals, the culture, and the history of the region was exceptional, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible sightings and a fantastic time. We feel so fortunate to have had him lead our adventure. Thank you, Velam Tours and Valance, for the memories of a lifetimePosted on Aviva YVerified Great adventure! The tour was unforgettable. Felt like a dream! We went to Tarangire national park, Ngorongoro national park, the sorroundings of mount kilimanjaro, a coffee tour and a waterfall tour all in three days. It did not feel too intense and we got to rest well at all the hotels we stayed at. Velam tours allowed us to change some suggestions on accomondation to hotels we looked up. Very nice of them to make that effort according to our wishes. Our tourguide, Valance, who we had the whole tour gave us so much briefing on everything and was able to answer all our questions. Feel so blessed having been able to do this trip and also that the company made it live up to our expectations. Thank you!Posted on MINJUVerified Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania I joined a 3-day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was an unforgettable experience. The guide was friendly, the driver drove safely, and the whole team was very caring. I’d love to recommend this tour to my Korean friends!”Posted on 대호 김Verified Unforgettable Safari Experience!

Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a smooth, safe, and unforgettable safari! 🦁🌍Posted on JONGDEOK KVerified Unforgettable experience with Velam tours & Safari Tour: 3 Days / 2 Nights Serengeti Safari Highlights: The tour offered great value for the price, and our guide was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Thanks to his experience, we were able to see almost every animal the Serengeti is famous for — except the rhino, which is quite rare. It was an unforgettable experience filled with amazing wildlife moments. Recommendation: Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable and well-guided Serengeti adventure! 🦁🌅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. Safari experience was smooth and so surprisingly magnificent. Adam who crafted our tour itinerary was in touch from day 1 till we landed back . Lolo and Lawrence our guides were nothing less than family :)Posted on Nomad29236729096Verified Exceptional Safari Experience! Velam Safaris delivered an outstanding safari adventure! From seamless communication to expert-guided game drives, every moment was exceptional. Luxurious accommodations, attentive staff, and a commitment to sustainability set them apart.
