Excellent experience, professional, highly recommended
The Safari with Telly was really well organized, and a wonderful experience.
My girlfriend and I we had a private trip, 5 days safari (serengeti, norongoro, tarangire) and one day seeing Kili. We had a car for ourselves which was great. A lot of people do that.
Mohammed managed communication from before the booking throughout the trip and even after the trip exceptionally well. We discussed the different options regarding national parks and accomodations with Mohammed before the booking to come up with the perfect itinerary for us. We even got a briefing before the trip started to run us through the itinerary times, pick up times, locations and answer any open questions. I can only recommend to have active communication via WhatsApp, Mohammed is really responsive.
Mali, our guide, did a perfect job through Serengeti, Norongoro, and Tarangire throughout 5 days. We saw all animals we wanted to see, really close, but I also want to remark that you will see what nature offers you to see. We saw that some tourist (in other cars) clearly don’t understand that and are very demand to their guides up to a point where the guide is pressured to behave incorrectly.
The accommodations were great throughout the entire trip, though accomodation in northern serengeti is more basic.
Also, really important, the car was in good shape and did not break down. We saw a lot of broken down cars along the way, every day, which I think is understandable given the tough roads.
All in all, it was wonderful and unique experience we thank Telly a lot for the great guidance and support through the trip.

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!
