Telly Africa offers personalized, seamless, and unforgettable safari experiences - Recommend to all!
I cannot recommend Telly Africa highly enough. They are exceptionally professional, competitively priced, and go out of their way to make the entire experience truly special. Our main contact, William, was outstanding—an excellent communicator who was always available to respond to any queries before, during, and even after the trip. From the outset, we felt like valued clients, with every idea, suggestion, and question met with thoughtful consideration.
William and his business partner made a point to greet us personally at our hotel upon arrival and returned again at the end of our journey to check in. This level of personal attention was deeply appreciated and truly set the tone for the entire experience.
This trip held particular significance for me—I wanted to recreate the travel experience I had as a child in Tanzania 28 years ago, now sharing it with my own family. William helped tailor the journey from beginning to end, combining tours in Arusha, unforgettable game drives through several national parks, and a relaxing finale in Zanzibar. Not only did I get to relive one of the most cherished memories of my life, I also created a new, equally special one with my children and husband—something I will treasure forever.
The organization was flawless. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, and the itinerary was perfectly planned—thoughtfully balancing activity with relaxation, and tailored to both adults and children. We had looked into several tour companies before discovering Telly Africa, but none matched their level of commitment, personal service, or affordability. I shared my budget with William, and he curated an outstanding itinerary that delivered everything I had hoped for—all within budget. The other companies couldn’t even come close.
Special credit is also due to some remarkable individuals who made this trip even more memorable. Aron, our game drive guide, accompanied us through Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and environment was invaluable—he not only knew exactly where to go for the best sightings, but also enriched our understanding of everything we were seeing. He was patient, kind, and absolutely wonderful with my children.
We were also lucky to meet Joel, our driver and guide on the first and last days of the trip. His bright, warm personality made us feel instantly at ease—like reconnecting with an old friend. He introduced us to lovely local spots, and my boys especially formed a real bond with him.
We are deeply grateful to William, Aron, and Joel for the moments of wonder, laughter, and connection we shared. These are memories we will always hold dear.
I’ve been fortunate to travel often, but this experience stands out as one of the best—if not the best—I’ve had with any tour company. Telly Africa may be a small operation for now, but that’s exactly what allows them to provide such unmatched personal service. I’m excited to see how they grow, and we will absolutely use their services again as they expand into new regions.
Thank you, William and the entire team at Telly Africa, for giving us not just a holiday, but a journey full of unforgettable moments and lifelong memories.

Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari with Jocky Tours
We had an amazing safari in Masai Mara with Jocky Tours, and our driver/guide John Walter made it truly special. He was very knowledgeable, reliable, and ensured we had the best sightings while feeling safe and comfortable. Communication with the company was smooth, the service excellent, and the experience was great value for money. We highly recommend Jocky Tours and John Walter for anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Truly amazing safari experience!
Ai Lin, Malvika and team has been fabulous in helping us to plan our honeymoon visit to Tanzania from initial introduction to lodge selection. We had zero idea in the beginning and they were super patient and detailed when answering our questions. They set up a whatsapp group before our departure and reminded us all important items. The safari experience was superb and the camps/lodged we lived in were great. The ground operators Asilia/Siringit were very professional and the guides were amazing! Overall it is a truly delightful experience!

So nice caring and kind! Really good job
I would totally recommend this company and our driver!!!
Masai Mara was our highlight and already on the first evening we saw so many animals. Also our driver put so much effort into finding the animals we asked him for that was really appreciated.
The thing I would change about our tour is the one day Lake Nukuru part. It’s a long drive for only 2-3 hours in the park. For us it wasn’t worth it. I would totally recommend another day in Masai Mara or 2 days in Lake Nukuru to make the drive worth it.
Another highlight was the island visit after Lake Nukuru. Doing a walking safari was so much fun!! Would totally recommend to book on top if you visit Lake Nukuru in the end.
Also it ended up being very cold and even rainy so if you go in August it’s really important to bring warm clothes and a rain coat!

The best!
I booked my trip with MoAfrika. Their staff are very helpful especially Wisdom and Linie. They make sure everything in place and well communicated all the plans. I really enjoy staying in Dumela. The foods are amazing and game driven definitely makes my trip memorable.

Great holidays
We loved our safari! Our guide was fantastic and we were able to see so many animals. The safari agency was very helpful and even printed some documents we had forgotten. We highly recommend them.

Very professional, well organized!
We used Dallas Safaris for a one-day fly in safari to Mikumi national park. After being picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, with the driver arriving ahead of the agreed time and waiting patiently for us, we flew with a local charter plane to the park. On landing the guide, Riccardo, was already waiting with the safari vehicle and after a quick toilet stop we started our drive. Riccardo was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, sharing his knowledge and passion for the park. We managed to see loads of wildlife, including lions, and after a nice lunch we went on another drive before flying back to Zanzibar where the same driver was waiting to take us back to the hotel. Overall a superb experience and truly very well organized!!

Beyond all expectations
What amazing hosts! All communications with Shoes, Thamia and Johanna were responsive and informative. This made us feel complete trust and confidence in them before we even arrived. At all times Shoes and his co-hosts who were our amazing chefs, Martin and Tuwan, were accommodating of our interests and needs, ensuring we were comfortable and engaged in choices about the types of experiences available. What I really loved was that Shoes (what a treasure this man is!) is a highly credentialled and experienced guide who delighted in sharing his vast knowledge with humour and passion - nothing was too much trouble and no question was dismissed. The Khalanga Safaris family made the most wonderful holiday memories and indeed have made us eager to return for more. If you are thinking about a safari experience, and you can travel in a family and friends group - go with Shoes and the team.
