Great Safari Experience with first class service and organisation by Telly Africa Safaris
We had a wonderful safari experience in The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Despite a couple of setbacks, Mohamed at Telly Africa sorted everything out for us perfectly, including finding a replacement guide and vehicle when ours broke down on the way to pick us up, to changing the hotel at the end of our trip as we were not happy where we were! Nothing was too much trouble so everything went smoothly.
Our guide Gaza was brilliant, with a great knowledge of the animals and where to find them. The scenery and the animals were amazing, and we had plenty of time on the game drives giving us the best chance to see the most animals. The food provided for lunch was very good and plentiful so there was no chance of going hungry!
The lodges we stayed in were first class; the Matawi tented camp in the Serengeti was a real experience, especially listening to the hyenas and lions during the night! The Serena lodge at the Ngorongoro crater was also excellent with fabulous views of the crater from the room and the bar, great food and a huge boxed breakfast which we had in a beautiful setting in the crater.
I would highly recommend both this trip and Telly Africa Safaris for an unforgettable experience.

Very well organized on short notice, great guide and vehicle!
We have booked a luxury fly in safari with ~5 days notice and Telly Safaris managed to pull off the booking of all flights/hotels and organizing an unforgettable trip. We had an amazing guide who actually worked as a ranger in one of the parks and knew where the most rare animals could be. We managed to see the Big 5 in less than 36 hours of our safari. We actually saw 4 rhinos (!) and one passed 50m in front of our car. The safari vehicle was almost brand new (I have been on a safari before with much worse vehicles). Overall amazing experience and I would highly recommend Telly to anyone.

Responsive and helpful
Regarding the organization by Telly, things went smoothly. Mohamed (the owner of Telly) has been very responsive and keen to tailor the safari to our wishes.
Regarding the safari itself, we have had the chance to be guided and driven by Lievin, who has been the best guide we could have hoped for! He drove safely, was very motivated to wake up early as it is the best time to see the animals, was also very knowledgeable about the savane and the animals, and very nice!
We saw the big five (and much more) in a matter of 3 days going through Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

A perfekt day
My Guide got me early and introduced me to the trip. He was really friendly and spoke perfekt English. Whenever I needed a fotostop he did a stop. We went to the Ndoro waterfall and to the Chagga for the caves and coffee. It was hard for me to get down and up at the waterfall but Joel was so helpful. On the way to the Kikuletwa hotsprings we did a lunchstop underneath the Christmastrees. The swimming in the springs was amazing. I loved the day. Thx to Joel!

Telly Africa Safaris made my dreams come true ❤️
I wholeheartedly recommend Telly Africa Safaris. Mohamed professionally organized my 3 day safari, including flights from Zanzibar and back, airport transfers, etc. What was a problem for others was not a problem for Telly. My guide Joseph was very involved to show as much and as close as possible. He knows a lot about the animals and the whole park area. And above all, he is very likeable. Very nice hotels and very good food. I felt safe and comfortable with Telly Africa Safaris.

Expert, Respectful and Fast Response.
Amazing experience with Telly Africa Safari. In addition to all the other great and positive observations, It truly makes it different the way of communicating and responding swiftly to the queries and managing the situations.
Jose is a respectful and an expert guide, sharp in spotting the good views/catches with lots of information. Very minor and almost Negligible comment is to have the food warm as possible.

Excellent experience! Our tour operator was amazing.
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
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!
