Not bad
The flight time was changed, which was inconvenient, but overall everything else was fine.

An Unforgettable Safari with Incredible Sightings!
We have just returned from an absolutely incredible safari trip, and it far exceeded our expectations in so many ways.
The wildlife viewing was simply phenomenal. We were lucky enough to see every animal we could have possibly hoped for. The absolute highlight was a once-in-a-lifetime sighting of a serval with her kitten! Our guide explained just how rare this is, and we felt so privileged to witness it. It’s a moment we will never forget.
Our accommodations were excellent for the most part. One lodge was particularly stunning—incredibly beautiful and full of authentic atmosphere. The only small downside was that the Wi-Fi at one of the lodges was quite weak, but to be honest, it was a nice excuse to disconnect. The food at the lodges was very good, offering a great variety of tasty meals. The only letdown food-wise were the packed lunch boxes provided for full-day game drives; they weren't very tasty and could be improved.
Our driver/guide was the heart of our experience. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate. Not only did he expertly track the Big Five, but he also enthusiastically pointed out and identified countless birds and other animals during our drives. He even carried a well-used copy of "Birds of Eastern Africa" with him, which he constantly referred to, making every journey between locations an educational tour in itself.
The safari vehicle was decent and got us everywhere we needed to go. It was a bit old, but it was functional and didn't detract from the overall amazing experience.
In summary, this was a truly memorable adventure. The incredible animal sightings, led by the rare serval, the beautiful camps, and our exceptional guide made this a trip of a lifetime. We would highly recommend this tour operator

Fantastic, helpful, professional company who supplied a fabulous experience. Cannot fault them
I found it quite difficult to decide whether to book a safari before we travelled to Zanzibar or while we were there. I honestly didn't know how to tell what was genuine as I was getting so many people contacting me via WhatsApp.
Finally we booked one just a couple of days before doing it. I went through safari bookings.com and I received my three quotes very quickly.
We chose to go with Telly Safaris as all communication felt professional, genuine and was always prompt and answered all our questions honestly. Telly were not the cheapest company but they were worth every single penny.
We were picked up on time, at 4.30am for our 1 day safari. Our drivers were fabulous, nothing was a problem even after setting off and my husband thought he had left his phone in the hotel ....we were driven all the way back for it(it was eventually found in his pocket, he's no good at early mornings).
We were escorted in to the check in area of airport and introduced to the staff member dealing with our flight then sat with us while we waited and had a coffee.
The tiny 12 seater plane was just out of this world and not what we had expected.....the flight alone was worth what we paid. It was Great.
On arrival we instantly met Raphael and his super capable driver.
We set of at 8am , had two stops, one for coffee and a bun and a toilet break behind a tree if needed and then again for the most delicious hot food, fresh fruit and ice cold soft drinks and water. Proper toilets are available here.
We safaried until about 10 mins until our flight was due and were still seeing animals around the runway.
We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, zebra, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, warthogs, wildebeest, vultures eating a buffalo carcass, sea fish eagles and many many other types of birds. Also so many different antelopes etc.
Flight back and pick up from airport was equally as well arranged and enjoyed as it was on the way.
We feel so lucky to have been able to get to enjoy such a magnificent, magical day which was further enhanced by the 4 other guests in the safari jeep.
The jeep sat 6 and had no sides, or back so visibility was fantastic.

My execution to Ngorongoro. Was extremely overwhelming indeed it's the eighth wonder of the world.
"I recently had the incredible opportunity to explore the breathtaking Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and I owe it all to the expertise of Samuel, our amazing guide! Samuel made it possible for us to experience the best of Ngorongoro in just one day, and it was truly unforgettable.
From the moment we descended into the crater, Samuel's knowledge and passion for the area shone through. He took us to the most incredible spots, sharing insights into the wildlife, geology, and culture of the region. We spotted an abundance of wildlife, including lions, elephants, and rhinos, and Samuel's expertise helped us understand their behaviors and habitats.
Samuel's attention to detail and dedication to ensuring we had an exceptional experience were evident throughout the day. He was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the wonders of Ngorongoro.
Thanks to Samuel, our Ngorongoro adventure was nothing short of spectacular. If you're planning a visit, I highly recommend Samuel as your guide - he truly knows the area inside out!

Our tour guide also took us to a souvenir shop, and he kindly told us that we didn’t have to buy any
It was an amazing five days. The hotel we stayed at was especially wonderful — I never imagined I’d be able to stay somewhere so luxurious. The food there was also excellent.
Our tour guide drove us over long, rough roads, and I could tell he had great respect for the animals and the natural environment. While other vehicles drove over the grasslands, he only used existing tracks. He didn’t push too hard to show us animals, but instead kept a respectful distance when we observed them.
One disappointment was that, although he promised to show us the sunset, we never got the chance. He mentioned we’d go at the end of the third day, but perhaps he was tired. After we declined his suggestion to take a hot air balloon tour that morning, he said we’d be heading back home, and we ended up missing the sunset.
When we were watching animals, sometimes he would move the car before we were ready, and while he might have had a good view from the driver’s seat, it wasn’t always easy for us to see. Looking back, we probably should have spoken up more. Still, he wasn’t overly talkative and gave us plenty of quiet time, which suited our temperament quite well.
Our tour guide also took us to a souvenir shop, and he kindly told us that we didn’t have to buy anything if we didn’t want to. He even stopped by a shopping mall for us, which was really helpful. We were also grateful that he adjusted the departure time to suit our schedule.
When another tour guide fell ill, he immediately went to help, and seeing that act of kindness really moved me. His car was a bit older compared to others, but honestly, I don’t think there’s anywhere else you could have such a wonderful experience for this price. When I searched in Japanese, the tours I found were much more expensive and offered lower-grade hotels.
The operator we contacted before departure was also excellent — they kept in close touch with us and suggested changing our original 4-day tour to a 5-day one, which made the trip feel truly luxurious. It became an unforgettable experience. I hope more Japanese travelers get to know about this tour.
