An Unforgettable Journey Designed Just for Us
5/5

From our very first contact with Telly Safaris, the team was quick to respond and took the time to answer all of our questions. They were incredibly patient and accommodating as we changed our plans several times while trying to create the perfect itinerary. Their professionalism and commitment to ensuring we had the best possible experience gave us great confidence from the start.
Upon our arrival, our guide, David, welcomed us warmly and immediately made us feel comfortable, safe, and at home. All of the accommodations arranged by Telly Safaris were excellent and perfectly suited to our needs. David spent five days with us and was not only highly knowledgeable but also friendly, engaging, and passionate about sharing his country with us. Every day brought a new adventure, and his expertise and enthusiasm made our trip truly unforgettable.
Throughout our journey, William from Telly Safaris remained available and regularly checked in with us to ensure everything was going smoothly. The level of customer service was outstanding and exceeded our expectations.
Initially, we were hesitant about booking with a local company rather than one based in our own country. However, we are so glad that we chose Telly Safaris. The experience felt far more personal, authentic, and unique than it would have with a larger international operator. We would highly recommend Telly Safaris to anyone looking for an exceptional, tailor-made travel experience in Tanzania.

Amazing
5/5

The safari with Telly Africa Safari was amazing from start to finish. The communication with them was clean and simple, they really take into consideration everything you tell them to prepare the best tour for your needs. We did a 2 days/1night safari in Nyerere staying at Selous Lodge with the flights from and to Zanzibar included. The day before the safari, the agency called us to go through the itinerary to make sure that everything was in order, and it was. We had a bit of a delay the second day due to some problems at the park’s entrance gate, but it was quickly resolved. The guide, Mr Martin, and the driver are extremely prepared and know where to go to spot the animals you want to see. We spent the second day searching for the lions and sure enough, we found them in an area were no other cars were, so we were able to see them for more than an hour very close and alone. A similar thing happened with the elephants, we went into the forest to look for them and we were able to see them from really close and with no one else around. I highly reccomend them.

A caring and professional team that creates unforgettable safari experiences.
5/5

We chose to celebrate my 40th birthday with a safari together with my wife and our two daughters (3 and 7 years old), and it turned out to be one of the most special experiences of our lives.

Everything was perfectly organized, smooth, and stress-free, which is exactly what you need when traveling with young children. But what truly made the difference was the people behind the experience.

A very special thank you to Happy Mukas, who went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. His care, attention to detail, and genuine kindness made us feel not just like clients, but like guests. He made sure every moment was meaningful and tailored to our family.

For our little princesses, this was pure magic, seeing animals in the wild, discovering nature, and living an adventure they will remember for a lifetime.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating such a beautiful and memorable experience for our family. We truly hope to come back again one day.

A reliable and professional tour operator that delivered exactly what was promised
5/5

Telly Africa Safari was an excellent tour operator and handled all the practical arrangements flawlessly — from flights and transfers to accommodation and the safari itself. It was a full-service package that we can warmly recommend.

Catherine was very easy to reach and responded to all the questions we had.

The highlight of the safari was our outstanding driver and guide, Uno, who approached his work with incredible passion and energy. His mission was to ensure we saw all the magnificent animals and truly made the most of the entire safari experience.

True professionalism and attentiveness
5/5

We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Telly Africa Safaris during our game drive in Mikumi National Park. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the beauty of the wildlife and landscapes.

We were due to fly into Nyerere NP for a one day, private game drive however due to a technical fault with the aircraft the flight was cancelled by the airline.

Telly Africa Safaris did everything in their power to ensure that we got to mainland Tanzania and booked us on a flight the very next day however to Mikumi NP instead. We were not disappointed…

A special thank you goes to the organiser, Happy Mukas, whose professionalism and attentiveness truly made the trip exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and she was always available, ensuring we were comfortable, informed, and having the best possible experience throughout the safari.

The guide was knowledgeable, the vehicle was comfortable, and the entire journey felt safe, smooth, and well-coordinated. We saw incredible wildlife and created memories that will last a lifetime.

I highly recommend Telly Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organised, professional, and truly memorable safari adventure in Tanzania!

Outstanding Safari Experience from Start to Finish
5/5

We had the most incredible 5-day safari with Telly Africa Safari and honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly.

From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised and seamless. We specifically wanted to book with a local operator after doing our research, and we’re so glad we chose Telly Africa Safari. Salome was our first point of contact and she was fantastic — responsive, helpful, and she organised everything perfectly, including our airport pick-up and drop-off. The whole process felt smooth, straightforward and stress-free.

Our guide and driver, Davie, was exceptional. His knowledge of the animals and birds was outstanding, and you could really tell how passionate and experienced he is. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly for sightings and was so patient and attentive. Nothing was ever a problem for him, and he truly made the experience special. We had such a wonderful time with him and learned so much throughout the trip.

The entire safari exceeded our expectations — amazing wildlife, beautiful lodges, and a team that genuinely cares about delivering a fantastic experience.

We would absolutely book with Telly Africa Safari again and would recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
