Reviews
The Best Safari We Could Have Hoped For
Our safari in Tanzania was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, and every aspect of the trip ran smoothly.
A huge thank you to Catherine and William, who were always available, responsive, and highly professional. They planned every detail of our journey and were happy to answer all of our questions.
A very special mention goes to our guide, David, who truly made this adventure unforgettable. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, years of experience, remarkable ability to spot animals, and warm personality made all the difference. Thanks to him, we were incredibly fortunate to see an amazing number of animals, including the Big Five, in outstanding conditions. Every day brought new discoveries and unforgettable moments.
The accommodations selected for us were all excellent—comfortable, well located, and full of charm. The food was also outstanding throughout the trip, with delicious, varied, and carefully prepared meals every day.
From the Ngorongoro Crater to the Serengeti, every destination left us in awe. If you’re looking for a reliable agency with flawless organization and passionate guides, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you again to the entire team for memories that will stay with us forever.

Great experience with Telly
Big thumbs up for Omar and Alex from Telly for taking me on two solo-safaris to Arusha and Tarangire NPs on two separate days. The guys were fun to hang out with, very knowledgeable and optimized the experience as we went along. They were also able to smoothly facilitate a particular medical problem I had told them about upfront. Communication prior to the trips was smooth and efficient. Highly recommended!
Telly Safari is a highly professional and caring safari company that delivers expertly guided, well-
We had an absolutely amazing Serengeti safari with Telly Safari, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.
From the very beginning, Catherine was exceptional. She helped us throughout the entire planning process, answered every question promptly, and was always available whenever an issue came up. Her support didn’t stop once the trip began—she continued to assist us during the safari and even followed up afterward to make sure everything had gone well. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication truly made a difference.
Our guide, David, was outstanding. He was kind, and knowledgeable about the wildlife, especially the animals and birds of the area. His tracking skills were remarkable. Thanks to his expertise, we witnessed our first wildebeest crossing less than two hours after arriving in the reserve. Even more impressive, he spotted a lion from what seemed like over 400 feet away, and because of his sharp eye, we were the very first vehicle to arrive at the sighting. Experiences like these made our safari unforgettable.
The hotels selected for our trip were beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly complemented the overall experience.
Everything about this safari exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a company that is well organized, truly cares about its guests, and provides great guides, we highly recommend Telly Safari. Thank you, Catherine, David and Michael for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!
Fantastic adventure
It was a unique experience. The process of the safari was well organized.
Only information about the flight could have been better organized. But this is not always so easy in Africa, yet everything worked smoothly.
To highlight the safari was the guide and the driver who really always did their best to get a great photo. They responded to all the wishes we had.
We spent a night at the Selous Safari Lodge. The room was great, clean and very large. Dinner and breakfast was also very good. Especially the staff were very very friendly. The lodge is absolutely recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Our family had the most incredible experience with Telly Africa Safaris. We chose them to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary and our son Paolo’s 19th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
From the very beginning, everything was exceptionally well organized. The surprise birthday and anniversary cakes, together with the bottle waiting for us in the morning, were such thoughtful touches that made our day even more special.
A special thank you to Agustino, our wonderful driver, for his professionalism and kindness throughout the journey. We are also incredibly grateful to Dixon, our guide in Mikumi National Park. His knowledge, passion, and amazing ability to spot wildlife allowed us to see an incredible variety of animals and truly appreciate the beauty of Tanzania.
The celebration with the whole team at the restaurant at the end of the safari was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. We felt genuinely welcomed and cared for from start to finish.
If you are looking for a professional, reliable, and caring safari company, we wholeheartedly recommend Telly Africa Safaris. They didn’t just organize a safari—they created memories that our family will cherish for a lifetime.
Thank you, Glory, and the entire Telly Africa Safaris team. We will never forget this amazing experience!

Davide was excellent, intelligent, kind, friendly, fun, and amazing!
If you’re thinking about booking an African safari, stop looking and book with Telly Safaris—you will not regret it! This was truly the trip of a lifetime and exceeded every expectation we had.
Our guide, Davide, was absolutely incredible. From day one, he made us feel so comfortable and quickly became such a special part of our experience. His knowledge of the animals, nature, and local culture was amazing, and he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. We learned so much more than we ever imagined, and every game drive was an adventure thanks to him.
One of the most unbelievable parts of our trip was that we got to see everything we had hoped for—and then some! Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking, and Davide always seemed to know exactly where to be to give us the best opportunities. His passion for wildlife is contagious, and you can tell he genuinely loves sharing this experience with his guests.
We left with unforgettable memories, incredible photos, and a much deeper appreciation for Africa and its wildlife. We honestly can’t thank Davide and everyone at Telly Safaris enough for making this such a perfect trip.
We recommend Telly Safaris 12/10 and would book with them again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience, this is it!

An Unforgettable Journey Designed Just for Us
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
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.
