Testimonials
What our guests say
After 3 changes in flight arrival times due to the airline, and with constant contacts with the person in charge, we had a driver waiting for us at the airport at 4 am, ten hours later than the first scheduled one. Thank you very much for all your efforts. I highly recommend them. Very great professionalism.
It was an incredibly easy process, with step by step guide for airport collection. We had some delay issues but Benjamin our driver was very understanding, we didn't feel rushed. His information was very helpful and accurate.
Velocity Zanzibar made our honeymoon absolutely perfect! From the airport pickup to the amazing Safari Blue trip, everything was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zanzibar!
Professional service, knowledgeable guides, and unforgettable experiences. The Serengeti safari was the highlight of our trip to Tanzania. Thank you Velocity team!
