Highly recommend
I have used this service many times over the past year that we have lived in Kenya. We have gone on 4+ safaris and several pick ups/drop offs at the airport. The drivers are efficient & personable.

Perfect! Couldn’t recommend enough!
What a great experience! Normally I don't write a review quickly but I can't recommend Surricqtq enough.
We (couple, 27 years old) did the 4 days/3 nights camping tour to Tarengire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park. Our guide Mandela was extremely knowledgeable and did everything he could to make our trip as memorable as possible. A delicious breakfast, cooked lunch and dinner were prepared daily by our chef Tito. I am normally not an easy eater, but I have had a very tasty meal every time. Where other tours received a box with a sandwich, we had a freshly cooked lunch every day with several (4-5) dishes to choose from.
Camping is quite an experience in itself! Waking up with a view over the Serengeti at sunrise is something you will never forget. The tents were already set up each time, ready with a mat + pillow + sleeping bag. There were also plenty of stops along the way for toilets which were all fine. Take tissues/toilet paper with you as it was not available everywhere. There was a socket at every location in the car where you could charge.
We saw a lot of beautiful things! Including the big 5, giraffes, many monkeys and all kinds of other animals. I can't recommend this trip enough, it was absolutely fantastic!

A once in a lifetime experience with Telly Safari
Our family's safari adventure in Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater with Telly Safari was a journey we will treasure forever. From witnessing all the majestic animals, including the Big 5, in their natural habitat to experiencing the raw beauty of the vast herds of wildebeest traversing the landscape, every moment was a testament to the wild heart of Serengeti. The emotional intensity of watching lions hunt and killing a Zebra, the dramatic attempt of a cheetah trying to capture a young gnu, and dining just meters away from resting lions were experiences that brought the circle of life up close and personal.
Our guide, Assad, transformed our safari into an educational journey brimming with excitement and wonder. His deep knowledge of wildlife and skilled tracking abilities ensured we didn't miss out on any wish-list sightings. Watching baboons saunter by our tent at sunset and feeling the vibrant energy of the Ngorongoro Crater, feeling as "the lost world," were highlights that illustrated the serene yet wild essence of Africa.
Assad's insights into animal behaviors enriched our understanding and connection to the natural world, turning each encounter into a vivid story. His dedication to making our adventure memorable and comfortable made him feel more like a family member than a guide. Our daughter fondly recalls her "close friend," and we share that sentiment deeply.
Special thanks also go to Mohamed, who was instrumental in tailoring our trip. His patience and detailed responses to our numerous inquiries ensured our journey was perfectly aligned with our expectations.
I can't recommend Telly Safari enough for families looking for a safari experience that combines adventure, education, and personal touches that go beyond the ordinary. This trip wasn’t just a holiday; it was a profound journey into the heart of nature, facilitated by a team who truly cares about delivering a unique and unforgettable experience.

A flexible operator, willing to deliver and adjust to our desires
Elida was recommended by our colleagues, and having to arrange details of the tour from abroad was no problem (with WhatsApp). They were willing to adjust to our specific demands, and we ended with a very enjoyable tour, mixing van, walking and riding safaris. Cost was as high as expected, with as few as possible extra to pay. While elephant and rhino were elusive, we had the opportunity to watch four lionesses hunting (but failing). Walking among zebras, gnous and velvet monkeys was a great experience, too!

Super nice staff with a lot of knowledge about nature
We went on a 2 day fly in from Zanzibar safari and it was the highlight of our trip! Everything went super smooth - from hotel pickup to airport, flight, safari, transportation to the camp Mazumpiko selous lodge, boat tour, and the journey back. Everyone was super professional and our guide was very knowledgeable - we asked a LOT of questions and there wasn't a single question he couldn't answer! We saw a lot of animals including elephant, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, buffalo, baboons and more! At night we stayed in a little village, in a bungalow at the Mazumpiko selous lodge. There were some insects but otherwise it was well cleaned and had a fan, mosquito nets for the bed, shower and western style toilet. The food was delicious and the boys working there were sooo nice! We would love to come back!
