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!!

A Honeymoon Safari Beyond Expectations!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were initially hesitant to book a safari for our honeymoon—but choosing Telly Africa Safaris turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our trip!

From the very beginning, the team was responsive and helpful. They arranged everything seamlessly for our 2-night, 3-day safari from Serengeti to Arusha—including flights, hotel pick-up from Paje (Zanzibar), and drop-off back to our next destination in Nungwi. The logistics were smooth and stress-free, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience.

A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aaron, who truly elevated the entire trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an unbelievable eye for spotting wildlife—often seeing animals from great distances before we even noticed them! Thanks to him, we managed to see *the Big Five* in just 1.5 days, including a visit to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater.

The food exceeded expectations too—especially the generous picnic lunches during the game drives (even I couldn’t finish mine!). The attention to detail and comfort was apparent throughout.

As for accommodations: **Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Camp** and **The Retreat at Ngorongoro** were absolutely stunning. The photos online truly don’t do them justice. Both stays were luxurious, peaceful, and perfect for a romantic getaway.

There are many safari tour operators out there, but we are so glad we went with Telly Africa Safaris. Their service, planning, and execution were simply outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Tanzania’s wildlife.

The best experience with everything arranged above and beyond
5/5

Went with Telly on the safari for our honeymoon, and we can truly say that we’ve had the best and most special experience during our 3 day tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and towards Arusha. Not only that, but the pick up in Zanzibar, flight to Seronera and service backwards to our new accommodation in Zanzibar, was perfectly arranged whilst William made sure we were picked up all the time. During our stays on the mainland, they all really made us feel like we were on our honeymoon, with one night even a sing/dance performance during dinner and a cake moment to share with everyone around. Thank you everyone for making this the most special experience ever! Oh and Aron, our tour guide, made sure we had the best spots to see all the wild animals that we wanted to see.

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari Adventure in February!

In February, we had an incredible 5-day safari through Tanzania that was absolutely unforgettable. Each day brought us to a new and breathtaking location:
• Serengeti National Park
• Ngorongoro Crater
• Banana Plantation
• Lake Manyara
• Tarangire National Park

The safari provider organized everything perfectly from start to finish. They arranged transfers from our hotel in Zanzibar to the airport, took care of our flight tickets to Tanzania, and ensured our journey back was just as smooth.

The safari experience itself was stunning—we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five! Our driver, who also served as our guide, was incredibly experienced. He made us feel safe, kept the atmosphere fun, and shared so many fascinating facts about the wildlife and landscape.

Accommodation for all five nights was comfortable and well-chosen. Every place we stayed at was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to relax after a day of adventure.

Highly recommended if you want an authentic, well-organized safari experience in Tanzania.

Incredible experience!
5/5

We had the most incredible time on this trip and can’t thank the Telly team enough. Our guide Assad was exceptional and looked after us more than we could ever wish for. If you are even thinking about doing a Tanzanian safari then my only advice is to go ahead and book it. We will never forget the memories we created in Tanzania!

William was very responsive and easy to deal with great service!
5/5

I organised this trip from Zanzibar and reached out to a few companies. I was very impressed with William as he was very responsive and easy to communicate with via what's app and could call him at any time. We had a change to our outbound flight and William was able to sort it out for us. The safari itself was excellent..we saw so much just on the first day our guide Godson was good and seemed to find where all the wildlife were!
