Best organised Tour ever!!!
We went on a day trip from Zanzibar to Selous Game Reserve. From the booking and payment till the information session a day before the trip everything was so well organized! We got all the information we needed and everything went so smoothly…by far the best tour we have done thanks Telly Africa Safaris!!! Thanks, thanks thanks! It was a dream trip…our hart skipped one beat upon arrival at the National Park…we knew it was going to be a perfect day !
Aaron is the best tour guide at this company
We had three days fly in and out private safari with this company, and the name of our tour guide was Aaron (best safari tour guide). We visited Serengeti then Ngorongoro and saw the big fives. The last day we tasted the best local food in a good restaurant (best food in Tanzania) and visited some villages and banana plants.

100% recommended
We hired the safari from Spain and we didn’t have any problems with them. The were very accessible, attentive to our arrival in Zanzibar and punctual on schedules.
The guide tried to show us as many animals as possible and teach us curiosities about each species.
A good option for a first safari in Tanzania.

Best 1-day safari experience with Telly Africa Safaris team
From start to finish Telly Africa Safaris delivered a fantastic safari experience. Our family incl. our 8- and a 4-year-old kids will remember and treasure this trip forever. Thank you! Mohamed (Arusha) communicated fantastically well throughout, making sure we knew what to expect. Mohamed (Zanzibar) safely delivered us to the airport and then back to our hotel on the day of the safari. Plus he helped us organise Zanzibar football shirts at short notice. Our flight from Zanzibar to Tanzania was quick and uneventful (this is how we like it!) and once at the safari park, Antony our driver made sure we got to see as many animals in their natural habitat as possible. We were so lucky as we got to see most of the animals in the park: from warthogs to impalas, baboons, giraffes, wildebeests, lions, elephants, hippos and crocodiles. It’s truly special to see them in the wild. Lunch (chips, chicken, samosa, egg) was served close to trees over 2k years old. After lunch Antony took us around the park a bit more, before we had to head to the airstrip and return to Zanzibar. Again, the flight was smooth and Mohamed (Zanzibar) was waiting for us at the airport, ready to drop us off at our hotel. A massive THANK YOU to the whole team for allowing us to make memories that will last a lifetime.

A fantastic day
We did a tour to Materuni waterfalls and the hot springs of Kikuletwa. They easily adapted the tour to our needs. Our guide Joel was very friendly. Even though it was raining and the ground was slippery, Joel helped us at all times. The bath in the hot springs was very relaxing and fun. I highly recommend Telly Africa Safari.

Knowledgeable and Fun
We had such a great experience with Telly! We traveled with our 2 teens and did the day hike to Mandara Hut and Maundi Crater. Emmanuel our guide was so well educated and passionate about the mountain. He was able to teach us about the animals and the way of life of the people who live there. Our driver was awesome as well! He kept us laughing the entire way. 100% would recommend for cost, communication, and reliability alone, but it was the warm people that really took the show.

Best day hike to Kilimanjaro
Emmanuel with Telly African Safaris was our guide and he planned the perfect day for us. I was a bit hesitant to climb in that elevation coming off a two week safari. Emmanuel knew just what to do telling us to hike “ pole, pole” slowly, slowly and he would stop us to take frequent breaks and sips of water. After an hour, everyone had acclimated to the elevation and could enjoy hiking in the beautiful rain forest. You pass streams and waterfalls, and find monkeys and birds along the way. The path is well groomed and there is even men’s/women's toilets with running water and toilet paper about every 1.5 hours on the trail!!!
The terrain changes as you leave the rain forest canopy and climb to the crater. Emmanuel has made over 400 trips to the summit and we were able to get good advice about making the full climb when we return in a year. Emmanuel carried our one backpack and the most wonderful box lunches for us. Our only responsibility was to enjoy the beautiful day. He even brought aluminum hiking poles for each of us. This was the perfect opportunity for us to get acquainted with Kilimanjaro mountain. Can’t say enough good things about our guide and this Telly African Safaris experience!

The best 6 days of our lives
There’s no word of exaggeration when I say that Telly Safaris provided us with one of the best 6 days of our lives. We had a rough start with losing our luggage on the way and the team constantly tried to help us get it back and organise a way to get it out to us on our safari. We were also delayed quite heavily with our transfer from Zanzibar to the Serengeti but they still gave us a 4 hour safari on the day we arrived and we literally saw EVERYTHING on the first day all up close and personal. The rest of the safari itself was nothing short of spectacular, our driver Godson was unbelievable and had such incredible knowledge of the parks and went above and beyond to see the animals from all angles and sometimes raced through the parks to make sure we saw animals when knowledge came through on the intercom he used. He drove for hours and kept an incredibly keen eye for animals at the same time which made it so key in seeing literally all the animals you possible could in Africa. We saw full pods of hippos, lions catching and eating prey, baby lions with their mother and cheetahs hunting. Check out our Instagram highlights @dannyjhirst @kateehopkinson
Aside from the safari we stayed in 4 hotels on our way round Tanzania and they were all incredible, genuine 4/5 star calibre with beautiful food, settings and staff who constantly made you feel welcome. You were provided with brilliant lunches on the tour and kept you going the full day. One piece of advice is to take a few jumpers, the mornings and nights can be bitterly cold till the sun comes out.
I honestly don’t think we could have got better product for our money with any other company in the world, we will be forever thankful for the experience they gave us.
