Amazing 1-Day Fly-in Safari from Zanzibar to Mikumi
My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience with Telly Tours. From the first contact until we arrived back at our hotel, everything was easy and perfectly organized.
We contacted Telly Tours directly and Catherine was incredibly friendly and helpful. She answered all our questions beforehand and contacted us again the day before the safari to go through everything with us. This gave us a really good feeling.
We were picked up directly at our hotel reception at 4:30 AM and brought back at around 7:00 PM. Our flights were at 6:45 AM and 4:00 PM. Everything worked smoothly and we never had to worry about anything.
The safari itself was fantastic! We saw so many different animals and had a really great day in Mikumi National Park. The lunch buffet was also surprisingly good.
We also compared prices with other safari companies and Telly Tours offered a very good price.
There is honestly nothing negative we can say. Everything was uncomplicated, well organized and exactly as promised.
A big thank you to Catherine and the whole Telly Tours team! We would definitely recommend them and would book with them again. 🐘🦁🦒

Catherine helped organise the trip via WhatsApp. Was very professional and helpful throughout and called the day before to go through everything.
The trip was very smooth from start to finish, the experience itself was incredible and would highly recommend!

Amazing Safari with Telly
So glad we chose Telly for our safari. We specifically wanted to go for the Great Migration and wanted to add more time in Northern Serengeti and Telly was able to customize our itinerary for us, including flying in from Zanzibar but flying out of Arusha
Catherine was highly responsive to all of our questions from booking through arrival, and David our your guide was highly knowledgeable and able to get us incredible views of all of the animals
High recommend you choose Telly for your safari!!

Habibo – An Exceptional Guide Who Made My Safari Unforgettable
Habibo was truly one of the highlights of my safari experience. He is an extremely competent, experienced, kind, and attentive guide who genuinely cares about his guests and their experience.
Since I chose a shared safari, I was travelling with another tour operator, and we stayed in four different accommodations across the Serengeti. Despite moving between different areas and lodges, Habibo knew the roads and routes extremely well and managed every transfer smoothly and without any issues. His knowledge of the Serengeti is truly impressive.
What impressed me the most was his incredible intuition when it comes to wildlife. He seemed to have a sixth sense for knowing where the animals were and where the best opportunities could be found. Thanks to his experience, patience, and excellent knowledge of the parks, I was lucky enough to see all of the Big Five during my safari.
Thanks to Habibo's knowledge and experience, we were also able to witness the Great Migration three different times!
The last crossing was particularly unforgettable. Habibo had a feeling that there might be another crossing happening in a different area, so he suggested that we move to another location. His instinct was absolutely right. We arrived at the perfect moment, and incredibly, we were the only vehicle there to witness this amazing crossing. It was one of the most extraordinary moments of my entire safari, and it would not have happened without Habibo's experience and intuition.
I also had the opportunity to explore Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater with Habibo. He was just as knowledgeable and attentive in these areas, sharing interesting information about the wildlife, landscapes, and local environment. His explanations made the experience much more enriching, and I really appreciated how he took the time to answer all my questions and make sure I was enjoying every moment.
Beyond his skills as a guide, Habibo is also very kind, friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. He was always attentive to my needs and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire safari. He was also very respectful of the animals and the environment, which made the experience even more special.
Habibo didn't simply drive me around the parks — he truly enriched the entire experience with his knowledge, passion, and dedication. His ability to read the environment, understand animal behavior, and make the right decisions at the right time made my safari even more extraordinary.
I would highly recommend Habibo to anyone looking for an exceptional safari guide. If you have the opportunity to have him as your guide, you are in very good hands. He helped turn an already amazing safari into an unforgettable and truly extraordinary experience.

Good communication, helpful and reliable.
We had an amazing safari in the Serengeti. We really wanted to see the Great Migration, and our wonderful guide, Simba, made it possible. He did everything he could to give us the best possible experience and show us as much as possible.
We stayed in lovely tented camps, which made the experience even more special. Communication before our trip was also clear and well organised.
We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this safari.

Amazing 5-day Safari with so friendly and experienced Guides
We have made a 5-day Safari with Telly Africa Safaris. The communication and booking was easy done. They wanted to create the perfect individual safari for us. The communication was via WhatsApp and Happy Mukas has arranged everything for us.
We started in Zanzibar and we're picked up at our accommodation to go to the airport. We flew to the northern Serengeti and met our first safari guide Nestor. He was very friendly and we started the first game drive right away. Nestor is a very good driver and had so much information about the animals. We have seen a lot of animals and also very rare ones like Leopard.
After our 3rd day we had to change our safari guide and met Omar. Omar was also really friendly and funny. He also was a very good driver and knows a lot about the wildlife. He drives us to places where we could enjoy the animals by ourselves.
The accommodations and the food during the safari was really good and tasty.
After the 5 days we went to the airport again and back to Zanzibar to our new hotel.
All in all Telly did a great job and we really can recommend them.

Incredible private safari we saw the Big Five in just 3 days!
We chose Travel Africa Safari Agency for a private safari during our honeymoon and had an unforgettable experience.
In only three days, we visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, and thanks to our amazing team, Hilario and Justin, we managed to see all of the Big Five!
Hilario was an exceptional guide. He speaks perfect Spanish and excellent English, and his knowledge of African wildlife is impressive. He knows the parks extremely well and was always able to explain the animals’ behaviour, habits and characteristics. He made every sighting much more interesting because we were not only seeing the animals, but also understanding them.
Justin was an outstanding driver. His ability to drive through the parks and difficult roads was incredible, and we always felt safe and comfortable.
Everything was perfectly organised. From our luggage and park permits to entrances and activities, Hilario and Justin took care of everything from the very first minute. Whenever we asked about an activity or something we wanted to experience, they always did their best to make it happen.
They were also incredibly friendly, kind and funny. After spending so many hours together, they became an important part of our honeymoon experience.
For us, this safari was a dream, and Hilario and Justin made that dream come true.
We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a private safari in Tanzania.
Thank you for everything!
Constanza & Jose

Great experience
We booked the safari several months in advance, and from the very beginning, the company—through Catherine—was excellent. We received support and assistance throughout the process, including help with specific requests—they even responded on a Sunday! The safari experience itself was wonderful. Everything was well-organized, and the food was delicious. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, antelopes... Many thanks to Telly for helping us experience this!
