Well organised, amazing experience. Fantastic value for money
We pre-booked our safari before our holiday to Zanzibar through Telly Africa safaris. The communication was really easy as it was all over WhatsApp and Catherine is very helpful.
The tour was incredible value for money as it included lunch, drinks and the flights to and from Zanzibar. Then lunch was delicious as well. The safari was just magical. From seeing giraffes and elephants almost immediately to the determination from our guide to ensure we saw everything, including Lions. Our guide Ramadan was exceptional. He always knew where to park and wait to get us the best view and his knowledge of the area was impressive.
The drivers who collected us and took us back to the hotel were also lovely.
Catherine also regularly follows up to make sure everything went ok.

Great Experience and Smooth Arrangements
I had a memorable and valuable 11-day trip across Ethiopia, and I’m very satisfied with Tsehaynew’s arrangements and prompt responses. Despite a complex itinerary—from Addis Ababa to the Simien Mountains, Danakil Depression, and Omo Valley—everything was organized smoothly.
The city tour in Addis, trekking in the Simiens, the Danakil adventure (Dallol and Erta Ale), and the cultural visits in South Omo were all well planned and meaningful. Logistics, flights, accommodations, and transfers were handled professionally, and I felt supported throughout the journey.
I highly recommend this travel agency for anyone looking to explore Ethiopia with reliable planning and warm hospitality.

Very nice team taking care about each individual, you can really trust and relax!
I felt very comfortable from the beginning, the whole team was very friendly, took care of everything, was experienced and gave the impression to really work as a team! The tents were very good, the driver prudent, the cook was excellent and our guide really perfect, friendly, he knew everything, had a careful eye on the whole group and team and really likes to work with people.
The team also handled problems very flexible and in a very smooth way. The tour itself was full of different, beautiful aspects of south ethiopia, from the mountains, Coffee, agriculture and animals to salt lake and Hippos, seeing nature and meeting people. Two weeks full of beautiful impressions and experiences! Thanks you!!!

Best choice of safari operator
From the moment we started planning, this trip was something special. Kelvin handled everything for us honestly, he made organizing our Tanzania adventure feel effortless. As soon as we landed, Mdoe met us at the airport, and everything just flowed from there. No hiccups, no stress.
Reuben, our guide what a guy. He was friendly, sharp, and seemed to know everything about the animals and the landscape. He took care of us the whole way. I couldn’t believe how good he was at spotting wildlife half the time, he’d point something out before anyone else even grabbed their binoculars. On day one, we saw the Big Five, even the rhino, which we heard is pretty hard to find.
We visited in mid-November, so we caught the Great Migration. Seeing all those animals and birds up close was unreal.
Honestly, I still can’t get over how amazing it was. We’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Thanks team

Very very efficient and friendly
A few extra days on the tour would be perfect. A rest on day 1 would be ideal before setting off on excursions especially when there are mid night flights from SA.
Time for withdrawing local currency is important.
Otherwise the service everywhere was excellent.

Reliable & well-organized
We did 4 nights & 5 days private tour with them, 2 nights in Okavango Delta (camping) & 2 nights near Moremi Game Reserve (lodge stay). They were very reliable and well-organized (so punctual), always tried to tidy things up and cooked amazing meals for us every day. Among the numerous Botswanan local operators, it's only one who has a lodge facility (for now, check the latest info). Unless you are a camping enthusiast, it's so nice to have a hot shower at the lodge after dusty roads. Highly recommended.

Amazing trip with an excellent tour guide, but disappointing back-office support
This trip was amazing. Ben was lovely and helped us out very well. Nevertheless, the vehicle that was addressed to us was below expectations, and frankly not safe. The seatbelts weren't working, the dashboard was broken (no speed and gas indicator) and the engine broke down. As a result we were stranded multiple times for several hours. Ben, our guide, tried to make the best of the situation and the vehicle he was given (thank you Ben!), but back-office support was very disappointing. Peter, the manager, ignored us, didn't contact us to provide more info and neither did he apologise. A manager should take responsibility for the shortcomings of its company, instead of hiding behind an employee.
