Excellent experience! Our tour operator was amazing.
5/5

I honestly did not know what to expect about a safari tour or this company. I have to say that the whole Telly team was very friendly and professional. The were very accommodated and made our safari experience very enjoyable. Our tour guide was Joseph, he told us hundreds of details about the animals and the culture. You can't go wrong by choosing Telly Africa Safaris.

Great people and great tour options
5/5

Telly safaris was great from the first moment I contacted them. The customer service is what made us choose them along with the package options. We started working with them before covid and then had to put the trip on hold for over a year. After Tanzania opened back up it was like we had been in talking for the entire time. Very friendly, helpful and responsive! The tour itself was beyond great! We saw soooooo many animals and very close encounters that I wasn't expecting! Words do not describe the experience. I always thought this would be a once in a lifetime trip but now that I have done it I hope it will not be the last! Big thanks to our driver Joseph for showing us an amazing trip! Also a big thank you to Mohamed for helping us organize our tour and workimg with us before we arrived!

Very knowledgeable and informative
5/5

We saw so many animals we didn't expect to see, and too many to count off the animals we expected (lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes. The places we stayed at were very nice and secure as well. They were always prompt and on time.

Our kilimanjaro day hike was phenomenal. Our tour guides explained the surroundings and much about the nature. We saw monkeys, shrew, and crab. We highly recommend for avid hikers.

Absolutely amazing Safari experience!
5/5

Everyone at this company is amazing! Mohamed made booking super easy and convenient. We booked a safari as well as a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Mohamed helped us plan out the trip so we would have the best experience and optimal time. Our tour guide Aron was extremely knowledgeable and had the best eyesight I've ever witnessed. We saw every animal you could possibly think of. The time we went was probably one of the best times to go as it was just before the busy tourist season started. As well as just at the end of May, which is the end of the rainy season there, so it wasn't too hot. I would love to go back and would definitely book with this company again!

Telly Africa Safari 100% the best, made our "Tanzania 5-day Safari perfect"
5/5

We booked safari with Telly Africa safaris. We have had the most wonderful and amazing trip ever.
It was unforgettable, beautiful. So well organised, with the upmost service, kindness and with our extremely knowledgeable driver and guide 'Chedi'. We are very lucky to have had such a fantastic trip.

We've started our dreamed safari at Tulia Hotel, Arusha and drove the next day to Tarangire NP for our first night. Marera view Lodge was an experience you must have had. The next day we went on a walking safari and after a couple of hours and a lovely breakfast we left for Serengeti NP, we drove through Ngorongoro NP. We had lunch and enjoyed the fantastic views. On our way to Serengeti, we stop at a Masai village and enjoyed the tribal experience. The next stop, after a long day on Safari and having seen Elephants with babies 2 days old, Giraffe, Lions and all sorts of birds, was Serengeti safari lodge. The hospitality was amazing, food and tents were extremely nice and comfortable.


Our driver and Tour guide chedi told us so many things, we also learned basic expressions in Swahili, we've been told every detail about the landscape, animals, their behaviour, habitats. family or solitude life etc. So interesting and so nice to have such an amazing tour guide and driver. He's the best. He really made sure we saw as much as we could and kept the trip smooth, nice, exiting, relaxed and very interesting.
I have to complement the lodges and camps about their service and wonderful food and lunchboxes, thank you.
We were lucky to witness the 'Wildebeest Crossing' at the Mara River a couple of times. It's a wonderful phenomenon and a yearly returning event. Can't believe the ritual from the Wildebeest.

Thank you to all staff from Tell Africa safari at the office, the drivers, guide and to all the Lodge and Tented Camps personnel. It's been amazing and so exciting trip with genuinely nice people.

Thank you Telly safaris I would definitely recommend to our friends, family and whoever is interested.

Unforgettable family trip
5/5

My family (me, my wife and my 3 years old son) booked the safari and we enjoyed it so much. It was a big adventure for us. The safari was very familyfriendly and well organized. Mohammed our first contact person organized everthing for us. And he was responsible for us from the beginning till the end. He was very communicative from the start, always available and gave us competent advice. Our guide Lucas did a very good Job and he was so patient so that we had the chance to see the big 5. He promised us he will not let us travel back before seeing any lions and he was so right. At our last day we saw so many lions and they were very very close to us. This was our highlight. Our cook Dennis cooked very delicious meals for us . Best soups ever. The food was very healthy, tasty and diversified. We would defenitly recommand this Company and the price is also very fair for the service you get.

Perfectly perfect
5/5

Go there with your eyes closed! A local agency that deserves all the recommendations! Nothing to complain about, but so much to say ... TOO MUCH! Perfect what!

Very attentive to our questions before departure, from France via WHATSAPP.

We did not have to pay too large a sum in advance, which is necessarily reassuring before being on site ...

Treat yourself !

We had a very good time in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara! We saw animals from very close range and could take every pictures we dreamed of. Our guides were very friendly and arranging, especially Mohammed who has been flexible and fixed our problems very quickly! I recommand!
