Timely, experienced, and overall amazing!
Husband and I went with the luxury package due to it being our last big trip of the year. It did not disappoint! Every accommodation was breathtakingly beautiful. In addition to the fantastic accommodations, our tour guide, Aaron - was absolutely amazing! He was timely, well educated, and generally a good time. He truly made the experience everything we wanted and more. This was once in a lifetime experience. We will be back!

Perfect 3 day safari
We booked a 3 day bespoke. Private safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Carater for our honeymoon and can highly recommend.
We flew in from Zanzibar into Seronera, changing to a little 15 seater at Arusha and with a couple of stops and no other takers, we both got a turn in the co pilot seat!!
We met our amazing guide Aaron at the strip and we were straight out in safari, and unbelievably had seen the ‘big 5’ in less than 2 hours!
Aaron, our guide with 20 years experience, was amazing at spotting the wildlife and reading the signs. He saw a leopard lounging in a tree that other jeeps had drove past, predicted where a lone lioness would meet with her pride and knew when we had to just wait patiently for a black rhino to reappear. He was great!
Our accommodation was luxury tents at Matawi Serengeti camp (where we could hear hyena’s calling as we fell asleep) and Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain lodge which was stunning.
In our 3 days we saw every animal on our wish list including lions, cheetahs and elephants, with all but the black rhino up close.
From booking through to our final day, the service was first class with great communication and attention to detail from Mohammed. We highly recommend Telly African safaris

Excellent
We had a 6 day, trip of a lifetime with Telly Africa, during our honeymoon, visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangerie National Park.
Our guide Joseph was absolutely exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and just great to be around for our entire trip. We saw all of the big 5, and Joseph knew a lot of information about literally every animal, bird and landscape. He was also always on time, had a clean car every day, had plenty to keep us hydrated and fed, and was a great photographer! He deserves more than 5 stars.
The trip was also very well organised by Mohamed and team. Hotels and lodges were lovely. We did the balloon safari which we highly recommend!

Very Professional and easy to deal with.
From the point we where picked up from the Airport until we flew out was a brilliant experience. Omar our guide was extremely knowledgeable and went to great effort to ensure that we saw the big 5. He also continued to ask questions about the other animals and to take our interest into account as we toured the different parks. Even pushing into crowded areas to ensure we could get the perfect picture. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I am glad we choose Telly.

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.
