Reliable touroperator for a professional safari
4/5

We booked a safaritrip for two days to Selous with Telly Safari. It was very easy to come in contact with the office via Whatsapp. We got very quick answers on every question we had. They asked us to pay a deposit in front.
Just like they promised, the taxi-driver picked us up at the hotel at dawn to get us to the airport. We could have a drink there waiting for takeoff.
The landing in Neyrere (next to the safariparc Selous) was realy amazing. We came in another world. (where nature rules)
A very kind, professional, intelligent guide who knew a lot of the animals, the environment etc was waiting for us.
We just arrived in the reserve and already saw pumba's, lot's of monkeys, beautifall birds and an very impressing vegetation.
During the day the driver brought us to terrific places while we felt we were live in National Geografic. We witnessed lot's of animals in their natural environment and natural behavior. (monkeys, elefants, zebra's, hippopotamus, carnivor, hyena's, wildebeest, giraffe, ...)
We had a nice breackfast and lunch during the day en in the evening we stayed in a very beautifull lodge. The next day we had an interesting boattrip on a river with crocodiles, hippo's, beautifull birds and a visit to the village. We specialy like to thank the very nice, professional guide Omary for the guidance in de reserve and the village, the interesting information about the animals and nature and the open talks about life in Tanzania.

It was a very good Safari in Tanzania
4/5

safari in Tanzania: We took a trip to Tanzania in July/23 and we chose Telly Safari through the Safari bookings website to do all the transfers, book accommodation and safaris. the chosen package was the 3-night Safari in the Luxury category. The company was always extremely punctual in transfers, the guides were very attentive, and the hotels we chose were wonderful and we stayed one night inside the Serengeti, a surreal experience. as we arrived early in Arusha after almost 48 from Brazil we stayed overnight in the city on behalf of the company as well and the last night before leaving for Zanzibar. Airport transfers in and out were included as well. I highly recommend the company!!

Very efficient and professional service with attention to detail and 5 star customer care
5/5

We booked a one day fly in fly out safari as we were staying in Zanzibar. From the very first contact with TellyAfrica I could tell that they were going to be great people to deal with. Having been impressed already by the booking process and payment process, I was waiting to see how the actual day panned out. Well, we were not disappointed! With clockwork efficiency, we were picked up from our accommodation and taken to the airport, flown into Tanzania and before we knew it we were in our open jeep scouting for game! Elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, crocodiles, zebras, warthogs, Impala, monkeys, even a leopard were spotted at close range! There are usually lions too but these were having a day off it seemed!
I was really impressed by how we were treated and looked after and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending TellyAfrica Safaris.

5/5

We had an excellent experience with Telly Africa safaris. From the first point of contact, the trip organiser Catherine was extremely helpful, sending over a detailed itinerary so we knew exactly what to expect on the tour. She also provided a helpful checklist of everything we needed to organise on our side in order to be best equipped.

We chose the 4 day-3 night luxury safari and as part of this all our travel from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania (and back) was arranged for us which made our life a lot easier. We were on our honeymoon, and Catherine made sure to let the accommodations know this, who gave us some extra surprises during our stays.

The accommodations themselves were great, especially the signature Serengeti lodge (where you are immersed in the widlife) and the Oldeani mountain lodge (which is the definition of luxury).

And then onto our game driver, Omary. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and funny, making our experience extremely comfortable. He paid attention to all the small details, and even stopped at a road side shop to get my wife some sugar cane as she said it was her favourite snack.

With his expertise, we managed to capture 4 of the big 5 within the first 24 hours and all of the big 5 by the end of our trip. He was willing to take the extra risk to get us to the best viewpoints, and helped us to understand a lot more about the animals’ habits and characteristics. We would definitely recommend a trip with him if possible, and we would love to go with Telly Africa safaris again sometime in the future

5/5

Husband and I went with the luxury package due to it being our last big trip of the year. It did not disappoint! Every accommodation was breathtakingly beautiful. In addition to the fantastic accommodations, our tour guide, Aaron - was absolutely amazing! He was timely, well educated, and generally a good time. He truly made the experience everything we wanted and more. This was once in a lifetime experience. We will be back!

Perfect 3 day safari
5/5

We booked a 3 day bespoke. Private safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Carater for our honeymoon and can highly recommend.

We flew in from Zanzibar into Seronera, changing to a little 15 seater at Arusha and with a couple of stops and no other takers, we both got a turn in the co pilot seat!!

We met our amazing guide Aaron at the strip and we were straight out in safari, and unbelievably had seen the ‘big 5’ in less than 2 hours!

Aaron, our guide with 20 years experience, was amazing at spotting the wildlife and reading the signs. He saw a leopard lounging in a tree that other jeeps had drove past, predicted where a lone lioness would meet with her pride and knew when we had to just wait patiently for a black rhino to reappear. He was great!

Our accommodation was luxury tents at Matawi Serengeti camp (where we could hear hyena’s calling as we fell asleep) and Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain lodge which was stunning.

In our 3 days we saw every animal on our wish list including lions, cheetahs and elephants, with all but the black rhino up close.

From booking through to our final day, the service was first class with great communication and attention to detail from Mohammed. We highly recommend Telly African safaris

Excellent
5/5

We had a 6 day, trip of a lifetime with Telly Africa, during our honeymoon, visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangerie National Park.

Our guide Joseph was absolutely exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and just great to be around for our entire trip. We saw all of the big 5, and Joseph knew a lot of information about literally every animal, bird and landscape. He was also always on time, had a clean car every day, had plenty to keep us hydrated and fed, and was a great photographer! He deserves more than 5 stars.

The trip was also very well organised by Mohamed and team. Hotels and lodges were lovely. We did the balloon safari which we highly recommend!
