A Trip of a Lifetime
I arranged, at late notice, a 1-day Safari trip for my son's birthday via Telly Africa. I researched the best company for this and came across Telly Africa. Telly Africa's Glory was amazing and despite the short notice request from me, she pulled out all the stops to ensure that we (myself, wife and two children) were able to not only embark on the trip but also have a wonderful time. Glory and Telly Africa arranged our pick up from our hotel in Zanzibar, drop off at Zanzibar Airport, plane journey from Zanzibar to Selous National Park in Tanzania and return trip to our hotel in Zanzibar. We also had the privilege of being accompanied by our knowledgeable, pleasant and experienced guide, Mr Martin, and a very friendly driver who looked after us (did I mention lunch?) and made sure that we were comfortable throughout the trip. I do not have enough superlatives to describe the service provided by Glory and Telly Africa. We intend to return again to Zanzibar and when we do, Glory will be one of the first people we call to arrange another safari trip. Telly Africa is highly recommended by me and we are incredibly grateful to Glory, Martin, our driver, and Telly Africa for making my son's birthday a magical one. All communications, service, reliability, the tour and costs were all amazing. In fact, Glory called on our way back to the hotel to check that we were fine and had had a good time...wow! Thank you Glory and Telly Africa for everything. You are the best!

We had a fantastic tour and were well looked after by our driver
We had the 6 day Safari Tour with Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Catherine from Telly was great when I started the booking process and helped so much to organise this special Safari. We want to stay 1 night in the northern Serengeti to see the river crossing and we did. It was fantastic to see that an it was much quieter up in the north because it was end of the big migration so we were very lucky to still see a crossing and have much less people there. Our driver was also great we always felt safe. Overall we had a fantastic time and if we come again to Tansania we would book again with Telly.

Accommodating, responsive, and thoughtful. Easy to work with!
I had a great day filled with adventures and beautiful scenery. Fini is a great guide who drove safely, was organized, and took the time to personalize the tour for me. Pick up and drop off went smoothly and he was very responsive. Great value tour- I was coming from Arusha and had a long drive. I enjoyed seeing the Chagga caves, roasting coffee, hiking down to Marangu waterfall, and spending time swimming in the Chemka hot springs. The lunch was good and I had plenty of water. Thank you, Fini! Would book this tour operator again for a thoughtful experience and timely response.

David (Doberman) made us feel comfortable and educated from the very start till the end.
A 5 out of 5 experience!
From the very start David made us feel welcomed and excited for the adventure ahead.
He gave us educational information on all the animals we saw that we never knew before.
Seeing 3 of the big 5 so close to us was truly a moment ticked off the bucket list. Topped off with a special ceremony to celebrate our honeymoon.
Would recommend this to anyone to experience one of the best moments of our lives!
A big thank you to Catherine as well for making the booking process so quick and easy!
Hakuna Matata!

Wonderful, Safe, Stewards for the trip of a lifetime!
We would and are recommending Telly Africa Safaris to any and all! We did a 5 day safari including Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Tarangire National Park. If you'd like to see media of our trip, look at our Instagram @umgwv
Our Guides: Aaron & God Bless(ours specifically, we were a group of 9 split into two land cruisers) God Bless was incredible. Knowledgeable on the areas, the wildlife, and always on the prowl to help us spot wildlife. His hospitality was amazing. So was his love for cappuccinos, as coffee people we loved his love for coffee.
You can request guides so make sure to ask for God Bless!!
Telly Africa Safaris brought us to incredible camps, and helped us to see the Big 5 not just from afar, but up close and personal. The food was good and diverse. I was amazed with the level of food prepared and the facilities and amenities provided given we were in the African Bush.
This was a trip of a lifetime and I could not have wished for a better group to go with. We felt safe for the entire journey. This was a 25/10 as we joked amongst our group.
Incredible safari experience, with an excellent guide, seamless organisation and fantastic servic
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our safari in Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere national park), exploring the areas around the Rufiji River. The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish.
Our guide, Rafael, was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the reserve itself, and went out of his way to make sure we got as close to the animals as possible. His knowledge really made the experience amazing.
The flights in and out were both smooth and everything was well organised. Catherine, who we arranged the safari with, was also fantastic throughout the entire process. She was extremely helpful, informative and always quick to respond to any questions we had, which made organising everything really straightforward.
Overall, an incredible experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Zanzibar. We’d highly recommend it, particularly Rafael as a guide and Catherine for arranging everything!

Exceeded expectations- book with Telly!
I cannot recommend Telly Safaris enough! Our trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE from start to finish!
Working with Catherine at Telly Safaris to coordinate our trip (5 day mid-luxury safari to Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater + Zanzibar) and customize our itinerary was a breeze (we added the Balloon Safari - an absolute MUST). She was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient in answering all of our questions leading up to the trip. She even met with us when we first arrived to walk us through our safari itinerary and remained available via WhatsApp throughout our entire adventure. Every detail was handled seamlessly, from arrival to departure, including flights, transfers, accommodations, and everything in between. We never had to worry about a thing!
All of our accommodations and the service we received were exceptional. Of course, sleeping in a tent at a migration camp might not be everyone’s idea of “luxury,” but it was an absolutely amazing experience! The camps were well-maintained, and the staff everywhere we went were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Our camps were guarded at night and the food was delicious! One piece of advice: bring more tip money than you think you’ll need! You’ll meet so many incredible people along the way who go above and beyond and whom you’ll want to thank for making your experience so special.
Our game drivers, Aaron and God Bless, were truly the best! They were respectful of the land and wildlife while expertly navigating the parks to give us incredible views and unforgettable wildlife encounters. We felt so fortunate to see as much as we did! Of course, nature is unpredictable, and there are never guarantees when it comes to wild animals, but our guides made every outing special with their knowledge, expertise, and wonderful personalities.
We also had Sumat, a photographer from Telly Safaris, join us on our trip, and he captured so many beautiful memories for our group. Having those photos to look back on is such a special bonus!
If you’re considering a safari, do yourself a favor and book with Telly Safaris! The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we’re so grateful to Catherine, our guides, Sumat, and everyone who made this trip so unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
