Our African Adventure
We are 4 friends who planned and booked our African Adventure with Clare from Wild Wings. All the way through planning, confirming and throughout our journey Clare was professional, experienced and friendly. Our tour guide in Kruger was the amazing Nicky. Nicky was a bundle of energy, enthusiasm and passion. Her knowledge was vast and she made sure we managed to get the best pictures.
Our private Game Reserve was Molhalbetsi and that too was great. We went to both sides of Victoria Falls and had different experiences. The accommodation Clare chose for us was perfect. We also went to Chobe and the Jackalberry Lodge and safari gave us another worthwhile experience.
All in all, the flights, accommodation, guides and experiences were exceptional. Thanks for all your assistance. Congratulations on your 20th celebrations, it is well earned.

A safari experience that's hard to forget!
The five-day safari has come to a perfect end! The Big Five of Africa have been collected. The guide Norton brother has excellent driving skills Several times the car was stuck in the mud, and he could turn danger into safety. He always found animals accurately, and every time we saw the best view. Staying in at the Ngoro camp, he also reminded us to close our suitcases to prevent things from being lost. This is a somewhat compulsive guide. Every morning before departure you can see the car covered with mud the day before being washed spotlessly. Chef Suleiman is also very responsive. Every meal has freshly cooked meat and fresh fruit. pancakes he made are especially delicious! And he is also a compulsive chef. Every meal's tableware and tablecloths are very clean. I would also like to thank. Grace. She was very patient in communicating the details with us in the early stage. On the day of going to the airport, she also arranged two very spacious business cars for. It was too considerate! In short, it was a very wonderful experience. I look forward to having the opportunity to meet again next time！

Friendly, efficient, and made every moment of the safari count
From the start, communication was prompt and helpful — Zakaria answered all my questions with patience and clarity. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and everything ran exactly as promised. Our guide Edward was knowledgeable, the accommodations were comfortable, and the game drives were unforgettable. I especially appreciated the flexibility and care shown throughout the trip. Excellent value for money — highly recommended!

The communication is smooth and responsible
I booked the trip just five days in advance, but everything went smoothly. They gave good advice and our driver Endeini was also a very reliable guide.

Unforgettable, safe, and seamless—Nicholas made this content trip a dream!
My trip to Uganda was nothing short of incredible. I came to create content, and Nicholas made it his top priority to ensure I had everything I needed—from reliable guides to safe, seamless logistics. Despite it being low season, I had amazing wildlife viewings and felt like royalty the entire time. Every request I made was granted without hesitation. I’d absolutely return and trust All In Africa Safaris with every detail again!

A stunning landscape with unforgettable wildlife & a cultural experience to fully fall in love with
Tanzania will always have a special place in my heart, and this recent trip held profound personal significance—I wanted to recreate the travel experience I had as a child in Tanzania 28 years ago, this time sharing it with my own family. I was fortunate to find an incredible tour operator, Telly Africa, and with William’s expert help, we planned a journey from start to finish that captured the essence of that childhood trip and so much more. From Arusha to the national parks, and finally to a tranquil stay in Zanzibar, every moment was thoughtfully tailored. Not only did I relive one of my most cherished memories, I created a new one—equally unforgettable—with my husband and children.
Tanzania is truly like nowhere else. Its wildlife is breathtaking and its national parks are rich in diversity and awe-inspiring beauty. Each park offers something unique—from Ngorongoro’s lush, jungle-like descent into a serene crater teeming with wildlife, to the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti. These landscapes aren't just destinations; they’re experiences, and they’re absolutely unmissable.
Accommodation in Tanzania has evolved immensely since my first visit. This time, we stayed in luxury tents and stunning lodges—all offering modern comfort while keeping us close to nature. Every stop felt like a perfect balance of authenticity and indulgence.
Beyond its natural wonders, Tanzania’s culture is equally beautiful. There’s a warmth and positivity in the people that’s hard to describe—welcoming, patient, and full of heart. The spirit of Hakuna Matata is not a cliché here; it’s a way of life that permeates every interaction.
After eight unforgettable days on safari, we hopped on a short flight to Zanzibar. Though more developed now than it once was, the island still boasts pristine white sandbanks and turquoise seas. We visited in April—part of the rainy season—but still enjoyed lovely weather, peaceful beaches, and an unhurried pace, with very few tourists around.
This incredible journey would not have been possible without Telly Africa, a company that absolutely deserves recognition. They are incredibly professional, fairly priced, and genuinely committed to crafting exceptional travel experiences. From the very beginning, William, our main contact, was responsive, attentive, and flexible. He was available for any questions at any time—before, during, and even after the trip. Every detail we shared was treated with care and consideration.
William and his business partner even welcomed us in person at our hotel when we arrived and returned again at the end of the trip to check in. That level of personal service is rare—and deeply appreciated.
The entire trip was flawlessly organized. Every accommodation exceeded expectations, and the itinerary was well-paced, seamlessly balancing adventure with rest and always taking our family’s needs into account. We had explored several other tour companies, but none came close to Telly Africa’s dedication, pricing, or personal approach. I gave William a budget, and he created a brilliant itinerary that delivered absolutely everything we wanted—without going over.
Some individuals we met made this trip even more unforgettable. Aron, our safari guide through Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Serengeti, was a true standout. His knowledge of the parks and animals was encyclopedic. He not only knew exactly where to find incredible wildlife, but also gave us deeper insights into what we were seeing. Thanks to him, we witnessed incredible moments—lion cubs nursing, buffalo fending off lions, and sightings of rare animals like the black rhino, leopard, and serval cat. He was also incredibly kind and patient with our children.
Joel, our guide in Arusha, handled our transfers and city tours at the start and end of our trip. His bright personality and genuine kindness made us feel like we’d known him for years. He introduced us to hidden gems in Arusha, and my boys formed a special bond with him.
We are deeply grateful to William, Aron, and Joel for the moments of wonder, laughter, and connection they gave us—memories we’ll cherish for life.
I’ve been fortunate to travel many times, but this trip stands out as one of the best—if not the best—travel experience I’ve ever had. And it’s all thanks to Telly Africa.
Tanzania will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and it’s because they made it possible.
Thank you, William, and the entire team at Telly Africa, for not just giving us a holiday, but for creating a journey filled with joy, magic, and lifelong memories.

A week is not enough
Amazing experience! I worried about visiting Kenya as a female solo traveller but everything was perfect. I chose Inspired feet Safari and I never regret that. Definitely Kenya deserves more time for exploring than just one week.

Disappointment
Hi Monika,
I have put off answering for several reasons ... this way I could let my disappointment sink in a bit ... I have decided to be brief.
Let me start by stating that I am personally responsible for the decision I made to accept your proposals and those of Wild Times Safaris (WTS). I paid dearly for professional advice and I could have assumed, for example, that WTS would really think along and not just want to "book", ....
Two people who are turning 60 and have traveled for 48 hours and come from the other side of the world (with Jet Lag), two night flights with four different aircraft, you advise them to take it easy and not immediately take a helicopter flight to the Victoria Falls on the day of arrival in Zambia. This is just an example.
The lodges in Zambia and Botswana were certainly very nice, the people fantastic, the food delicious etc. Gomoti was the most pleasant and that is where we saw the most animals. Duba was dark and a bit depressing. All 4 lodges were almost empty and that is perhaps the reason why we got all, read: TOO MUCH, attention. You don't get a moment to stare into space and enjoy, except from your own room where we often escape to, or there is someone next to you asking "how was your game drive" ... When the cook has been, the chambermaid comes and then the guide follows who prefers to sit at your table to talk about everything again. You didn't get a moment's rest or privacy. 4 lodges in 12 days means 5 days of traveling to and from ... packing and unpacking and you can't enjoy the lodges themselves in this way at all. WTS should have warned you about that. Followed your "money tip" advice and left 500 US$ per lodge, US$ 2,000 is excessive. The flights and all transport coordination went fine by the way.
But now Cape Town: This was a real letdown and certainly for my organizational quality feeling towards WTS. Euro 10,000 for 6 nights and your invoice confusingly states 7 days (and an earlier invoice/quote even stated 8 days instead of 7), ... Of these 7 days you travel/fly 2, so you only have 5 whole days!!! This amount NB EXCLUDING flight costs food and drinks ..... Cadogan is in a nice neighborhood but is highly overrated. Small room that didn't even have a chair in it. Delaire Graff more than beautiful but unfortunately we couldn't enjoy it much. I think WTS couldn't imagine what I consider adventurous and unique. We were driven to the fishing port of Hout Bay, a stinking dump, bare, uninviting and dumped in a canoe. No idea what you wanted to show us ... See our holiday photo attached, and yes that may be on your website. I protested to you Monika! WTS even made me take my swimming trunks, so there I was.... This can't have been serious! A lost afternoon for us, but it gets even better because WTS takes us back to Houtsbaai the next day, where we waited for I don't know how long for a boat that took us out for a quarter of an hour in dangerous weather ..... Here again, no idea why? Then, and now I'm even sadder, we go to the penguins ... Horrible and nothing that resembles natural beauty or adventure. What a waste of time and money! We go to the wine fields: Wonderful, and arrive in Delaire in the evening, ... we could hardly enjoy that the next day because we had to pack again because we were picked up at 0430 AM for transport to the airport. I mentioned this to you via app and was actually sent away with a "root in the reeds" (see attached). Not worth Euro 10,000 I think? Do I get something back?
Greetings,
Justus van der Lubbe

Excellent
Amazing, knowledgable & Great Guide!!!!
We had a fantastic time with Serengeti Cheers Tour Company during our trip to Tanzania recently in May 2024. We booked a private tour for just me and my husband. Our guide, Said, was really kind and friendly.
The safari vehicle was clean and had everything we needed. I must say, Said was an excellent driver! He could easily move around other safari vehicles, it felt like he could even park on a tightrope!
Thanks to his sharp eyes, we saw so many animals. He knew a lot about all the places we visited and the animals we came across. He also showed us special things in nature and explained them in detail.
The food on the trip was great. We had hot meals from our lodges and also enjoyed picnic lunches during our visits.
Every place we stayed at was excellent, and the staff treated us very well.
We would highly recommend this company and we’re so glad we did!
