Great communication and safety
People say an African Safari is a once in a lifetime experience, but I feel I can’t wait to go back with my kids and grandkids.The communication with Tellena Tours was excellent from the beginning of planning until the day we left. I dealt with Victor and he was always available and showed up whenever we were in Nairobi to make sure everything was going as planned. Our tour guide, Dickson, made the safari complete as he made sure we saw the Big 5 and his ability to see hidden animals was amazing.My wife and i felt extremely safe with Dickson as well as enjoying his personality.
A few suggestions/changes I would give is to arrange air travel between the different national parks as traffic is unpredictable and we lost most of one of our days there driving to another park (we had planned for 4-5 hours and it took over 8). Flights are an adventure themselves and being in a Land Cruiser for an extended period an become uncomfortable, Also make sure to confirm the Land Cruiser is a newer model with taller windows (ours was dated and I was constantly bending to see outside). We did the hot air balloon in Masai Mara and it was amazing (the landing can be a little rough so be prepared). Also, if air conditioning is important to you, make sure and request it where available (i don’t believe most hotels inside the parks have it as the nights are traditionally cool). One last thing, let them know if you plan to bring large luggage so they can arrange a larger vehicle.
I would recommend Tellena Tours.

Very responsive and great overall trip
Very easy and fast communication through WhatsApp.
The tour itself wasn’t quite what we expected, we were thinking it would be a small tour group doing a series of activities but instead it was staying at a lodge and doing their activities. This ended up working well and we got to meet different people on different tours. The room was very nice to stay in and it was a great break from organising the rest of the trip to turn up somewhere and it all be sorted to the point where you don’t even pay for your meals.

We had a great time in Kenya and Tanzania on safaris. I thoroughly recommend this company.

Great Experience
From the very beginning, the safari experience was excellent. Everyone—from the organiser, David, to my drivers, Ezekiel and Nicole—was incredibly attentive. Their knowledge of the animals, landscape, plants and terrain added so much value to the trip.
We saw an amazing range of wildlife.
Unfortunately, I just missed out on seeing a leopard, so I did not quite complete the Big Five—but that is simply the luck of the draw!
It is worth noting that safari operators often work together, so I changed jeeps a couple of times and travelled with drivers who were not directly employed by Pedaso Safaris. This did not detract from the experience at all; in fact, I enjoyed meeting lots of new people. However, it is useful to be aware of this beforehand, as it was not immediately clear from the advertisement.

Fantastic experience!!
Our 4-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris was an absolute masterpiece, an amazing and unforgettable experience!
From day one, everything was flawless, but what truly made our journey unforgettable was our legendary guide, Martin. Not only does he speak perfect Italian, but he is a true phenomenon at spotting wildlife. His eagle eyes and deep knowledge of the bush brought the savannah to life in ways we never thought possible. Thanks to Martin, we didn't just see beautiful zebras, majestic elephants, and graceful giraffes. We experienced the raw beauty of nature up close: a magnificent male lion, a pride of lionesses feasting on a buffalo carcass, beautiful cheetah families, and even a hidden leopard! Every game drive was pure magic and filled with adrenaline. The organization was top-notch, the lodges were beautiful, and the hospitality was heartwarming. If you decide to go to Tanzania for a safari, you can safely choose the reliability, professionalism, and transparency of African Big Cats Safaris.

7 Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Safari
I went on the 7 Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Safari with mid range accommodation.
Overall, it was a breathtaking experience and excellent value for money. Our guide David Mukami was fantastic and worked tirelessly to make sure we saw everything we could possibly see.
