Unforgettable Safari!!
An absolutely exceptional and unforgettable safari experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and our guide, Dan, was truly the best.
He was with us every step of the way, making sure we felt comfortable, safe, and had the best possible experience.
His knowledge, kindness, and passion made the trip even more special. Highly recommended!

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.

An excellent trip!!! I highly recommend this travel agency!!!
This was an incredibly unforgettable and wonderful journey. I booked the 5 days and 4 nights itinerary, which was very full but well-organized. I want to thank the travel agency Victor for his consistently prompt replies, and the tour guide for his hard work and excellent commentary. Regarding the price, I compared quotes from many different agencies, and this one offered the best value for money. Moreover, the itinerary was very reasonable and comfortable. The hotels arranged were also outstanding, allowing us to fully enjoy delicious food and get proper rest. I highly recommend this travel agency! Thank you again to all the staff for your hard work, and I hope you continue to thrive and do even better!

Fantastic
We booked a three day Safari to the Mara Sopa Lodge in Maasai Mara game reserve. We chose to fly to the resort (which was great fun). We were picked up on time from our resort, taken to the Safari airport and were picked up by our guide for three days as soon as we arrived. We began our safari as soon as we left the airfield. Our guide, Kalvin, was very informative and made sure we saw as much as possible. By the time we got to the Resort, we had seen giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and elephants. We settled in and he picked us up again by 3:30 and we were off. We were actually lucky enough to see a lioness hunting a zebra. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever witnessed. She was so intense. The animals actually don’t care at all about the safari vehicles - they totally ignore them. She crossed the road right in front of us and never took her eyes off the zebras. A male lion was a distance away, apparently waiting for her to get dinner. She eventually gave up but then we came on more of her pride and watched them successfully bring down a zebra. Luckily the kill happened in some brush so we did not see it but the zebras who had escaped were calling and making distressed calls for their downed comrade and it made us sad for them. Of course we understand the circle of life and everybody needs to eat…but..it is difficult to witness. After about 7pm we returned to our resort and had a wonderful dinner. The food and staff at the Mara Sopa Lodge were outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and warm. We got picked up by 4am the next morning for a hot air balloon adventure. Do Not Miss this activity. There are no words to describe the beauty of the Savannah in the sunrise. After, we had a camp breakfast set up for us with champagne and a fantastic buffet of breakfast food. Kalvin picked us up from the breakfast and we were off for another full day of adventure, seeing more wild animals than we could have imagined. The next morning we were picked up and did a great safari drive back to the airstrip and then flew back to Nairobi. It was wonderful start to finish. Actually 10 Stars! We would also like to give a shout out to the people that took us from our hotel to the airstrip and back to our hotel. We believe that the young lady was with the TELLENA Company and then her younger brother was with us (as well as the driver). Her brother (who we just didn’t get his name) was so full of information and we loved talking with him.

Trip of a Lifetime with Tallena Tours
Our family had an amazing experience with Tallena Tours. We traveled with our 15 year old son, and from the beginning, Mercy and Victor made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout the safari, they checked in regularly to ensure everything was going well and that we were enjoying the experience.
The accommodations were excellent and perfectly matched what we were looking for within our selected budget. The Sopa Lodges in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara and Heritage Luxury Camp in the Serengeti offered beautiful views, comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a wonderful safari atmosphere.
The food was outstanding, with buffet style meals offering plenty of variety and quality. We also appreciated the very complete lunch boxes provided on full day game drives, which made our days in the parks even more enjoyable.
Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the staff at every lodge were welcoming and attentive. The attention to detail throughout the trip was impressive.
A special thank you to Philip, our guide and driver, whose knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made the safari truly memorable. He worked hard every day to give us the best possible wildlife experiences.
Tallena Tours delivered an exceptional safari experience while staying within our selected budget. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable, well organized, and unforgettable family safari in Kenya and Tanzania.
