Highly recommended
I had an amazing experience with this safari company! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the communication via WhatsApp made the planning seamless. The team was professional and friendly, and our tour guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the wildlife.
We visited the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Serengeti National Parks on a camping safari and saw the Big 5 along with countless other animals. The food was delicious, and the camping experience was well-arranged and comfortable.
Although the company collaborates with smaller safari operators, this was absolutely no issue. The partner company we interacted with also had great reviews and met the same high standards. Overall, the price-performance ratio was excellent, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania!

Amazing Safari
9 day private tour Kenya/Tanzania Girls trip of a lifetime completed in December 2024 with 2 of my cousins and one friend.
Silas helped plan this trip every step of the way, answering all our questions, making adjustments as needed. He was a lifesaver to me as the person trying to bring this all together for 4, very different, female travelers.
Our first driver/guide (Kenya) was Sebastian. He had good English (and Spanish), he was a careful, aggressive driver and he made it possible to see 4 of the 'big five' during our first few days on Safari. He communicated with other drivers well and got us to the viewing sites quickly and efficiently. He also explained why no one was seeing the elusive leopards so, though we were disappointed, we understood. He was great!
Our second driver/guide (Tanzania) was Jovan who was soft spoken and polite. His English was heavily accented, so often we had difficulty understanding him and vice versa. He was a careful driver and not aggressive, so he was very apologetic when he hit a hard bump and we all went flying. He was good at giving advise about buying souvenirs and would subtly shake his head when something was overpriced. I liked that he had a book with pictures and names of the birds we were seeing, so that when we didn't understand what he was saying, he would show us the picture and spell the name. We saw some of the most endangered birds in Kenya and Tanzania. He was a very good guide/driver.
This safari tour started out as the Golden memories 12-day tour and was pared down to a 9 day custom tour for our group. I personally would have preferred to spend more time in the Masai Mara and the Serengeti but in order to accommodate the most people in the group the 9 Day tour was chosen. I'd say, all in all, this was an excellent Safari and we could not have done it without Sebastian, Jovan and Silas!

Great Safari
Our safari experience was great! The staff was well organized, and all communication, handled via WhatsApp, was smooth and efficient. The tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals and the parks.
We chose a camping safari and visited Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti. The sights were incredible, and we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 along with so many other animals. The food provided was excellent, and the camping logistics were good managed.
The company collaborates with smaller operators, but this did not affect the quality at all. In fact, the partner company we encountered had top reviews, and their service matched our expectations. Overall, the experience offered exceptional value for money, and I would highly recommend booking with this company for your safari adventure!

Fantastic
I chose the Phine Safaris and it was the best choice! They have a very professional communication skills with a client. Quick response and understanding of needs. The creative with them a private tour in 4 parks in Kenya. Kelvin (manager) helped with a hotel choices. Julia’s was ours driver everywhere. He knows all parks by heart. Highly recommended to have a trip with him! 4x4 Jeep was a right choice to have because of the Kenya roads and parks roads too. I’m really happy to have a deal with tris company.

A fantastic tailored experience!
We would like to thank you fantasy Safari fantastic experience 18 of november 2024. We can say we had the specialy designed program for 6 of us. From pickup from our Zanzibar hotel early morning until delivery at train station on Dar all was well timed and well organisrd. Safari experience at Mikumi National Park was one dat experience where we have sin a lot of animals such as hipopotamus, lions, elephants, impalas, jiraffs, zebras, birds in in their natural environment. We have traveled around the park in open car designed to travel even off-road. Our guides were very helpful and they were telling us about animals and their habits. We could observe from very short distance and make beautiful pictures without disruption to animals. Our driver tried hard and even extended our trip so we would see all animals as expected. We had a lunch break with good food (buffet) and time to relax and refresh accompanied by monkeys😊. At the end we have changed into comfortable car and went to Morongoro to rest in a nice hotel for the night. Before going to the train station we could walk around town and view mountains from a distance. The trip by train was also nice experience as it was very comfortable (businesses clas and the views were amazing going through another National park where we could see more animals along the way. We were accompanied by our guide, Mohamed, who at the end gave us a film he was preparing all the way during our safari. The film was impressive and got a lit attention on social media. We highly recommend this company as good organiser and value for money. We felt safe and well cared for even when the car engine could not start at one moment.

Everything was great, both service and tour
I did a 4 day safari in Mikumi and Nyerere NP with Asantebibitours, and everything was amazing, from the service provided before and after to the actual tour. They provided full support with airport pickup and helped me during my stay in Tanzania even once the tour was finished. Plus my guide, Abel, was amazing. Really knowledgeable and ready to solve any problem occurred. I will definitely call them again when I'll be back visiting. Thanks to everyone

Our tour operator was energetic, informative, and accommodating.
Many thanks to Susan and Discover Africa for helping to create an amazing adventure at Akagera National Park, Rwanda, for us. We almost had to forfeit our holiday due to unforeseen circumstances, but thanks to Susan's knowledge and resources we were able to adjust our reservations. We are very grateful for her support and personal attention that made all the difference. Our driver/guide was also expertly informative about the wildlife and park. He showed us less traveled areas with determination to find the critters! Best regards, Lisa and Thomas

Awesome! Super flexible and knowledgeable.
Telly Africa Safaris was fabulous for my 5 day Tanzania safari with my son.
Aaron, our guide, insured flawless game drives seeing 4 leopards , 3 cheetahs hundreds of lions and all big 5!!
Safari tented and lodging were 5 star as were dining options. Coordination of included flights and transfers were perfection.
My son and I are very seasoned international travelers and we have experienced safaris in Botswana , S Africa , Kenya, India and Sri Lanka and was by far the best.
