Best experience We had an unforgettable 7-day private safari through Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience smooth, comfortable, and truly memorable. Our guide, Mr. Evana, was exceptional. He worked tirelessly to ensure we were always enjoying every moment of the safari. His knowledge, sharp eyesight, and dedication allowed us to see an incredible variety of wildlife — including the rare and thrilling sight of a lion hunt! His passion and professionalism made a huge difference in our experience. Our chef, Mosses, impressed us every single day with delicious, freshly prepared meals served with a warm smile. We especially loved the breakfast pancakes, freshly baked bread, and the wide variety of dishes, including many flavorful local specialties. The quality and variety of the food exceeded our expectations. Staying in the heart of the wilderness was an unforgettable adventure. Hearing lions roaring at night in the Serengeti is something we will never forget — a truly magical African experience. I highly recommend this safari company to future travelers, especially with Evana, Maria, and Yasinta as part of the team. For the best experience, I strongly advise visiting in May. It is considered low season, so prices are more affordable, there is little rainfall, the Serengeti is beautifully green, and the climate is excellent for wildlife viewing. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!

AMAZING TANZANIA AND ZANZIBAR HOLIDAY We visited tansania northern parks like Serengeti ,ngorongoro crater ,Tarangire and zanzibar islands where we explored Zanzibar Prison Island and had a very enjoyable and relaxing Tour. The boat ride from Stone Town was smooth and offered beautiful ocean views. When we arrived, the island felt peaceful and not crowded, which made the experience even better. The highlight was seeing the giant tortoises. It was amazing to see them up close and learn about their history. We also enjoyed walking around the island, taking photos, and relaxing by the beach. Everything was well organized and calm. This trip is perfect for two people looking for a simple, relaxing, and memorable experience in both Tanzania & Zanzibar. We would definitely recommend Serengeti velvet ltd for both safari and zanzibar beach holiday..

WORTH EVERY DOLLAR WE PAID Our trip with Serengeti velvet tours was unforgettable from start to finish. Fredy took amazing care of us during our Mount Kilimanjaro hike supportive, organized, and always encouraging. After the climb, we continued with a three-day Serengeti safari, where John guided us with great knowledge and patience, making every game drive exciting and memorable. yusuph and the operations team ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the journey…We ended with three relaxing days in Zanzibar, enjoying the beaches, culture, and beautiful ocean views. Safari Velvet planned everything perfectly, making the whole adventure easy, enjoyable, and truly memorable.

AMAZING SAFARI That was a unforgettable experience for us to go Safari! So many animals in wildlife you can see Noone zoo can compare with it As we were travelling through savanna with our guide we came across various animals as they live in nature, eg lions eating freshly caught buffalo, hyenas waiting for the lions to go, pavians zebras and wildebeasts migrating, hippos yawning and many others Service was perfect and our guide was very helpful and attentive, tried to help us see more I guess this Safari worth each dollar I paid I have never experienced so many impressions!.
