Paradise
I went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in low season. I was afraid that I won’t see lots if animals because it’s rainy season. Turns out the weather is great, just a little bit rain, saw lots of animals, perfect scenes, and saw the Great Migration too! It’s not the dramatic scenes when the animals are crossing the Mara river, but we did see the Great Migration. And we didn’t expect it since the internet is saying the great migration is only in certain months in the dry and ‘high season’. I guess they don’t refer to Serengeti. Turned out it’s a one year cycle and happen most of the time in Tanzania. To choose safari in Serengeti over Masai Mara was a tough decision considering the budget. It’s a blessing for me to finally be in Serengeti. The animals are not yet in Masai Mara on April and I got the chance to see the migration in so called “low season’. If I have this great experience in the low season, I wonder what it will be like in the dry season or ‘high season’. No matter what the season is, Tanzania is always a paradise

An other world
I booked a Safari for April. A driver picked me up at the airport and dropped and me at the hotel. I booked an 4 days 3 nights mid. class lodges Safari from Arusha to Tarangire N.P. , Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were a group of 4 to 6 people. I traveled by myself so I was happy to meet other travelers. So I wasn’t so happy about it, that everybody in the group slept in their own lodge, especially if you travel alone. It’s nicer, if you can have dinner together after a great Safari day! But all the lodges I stayed at were great! The first driver Assat was great, he had a lot of knowledge. After the first day, the driver changed. The second driver Simba was great too! He was very engaged that we see a lot of animals. We saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, lazy lions, zebras, hippos and many more. The weather was the most of the time sunny and warm. Only on the second day, when we drove to Serengeti, we had on our way one hour rain. But that was a great adventure too! I had a really good time.

Stunning wildlife and scenery and warm welcoming people
Amazing experience. Rainy season not so rainy and not crowded so a really peaceful intimate connection with animals and amazing photography opportunities. Great choice of places to stay and really friendly helpful staff everywhere we went.
Our tour company Soul of Tanzania was excellent. Great itinerary. Amazing guide (James Ellie) who was full of knowledge but not overbearing and very skilled at finding the highlights.

after day four, I had to leave due to a family death. I knew no refunds would be provided but they were so nice to say that I could definitely come back and they would honor the days I missed out on. View my Tanzania instagram highlights if you want to see more details on this safari ride. @Lily_hoI also booked this trip 3 days prior to going and was chatting with Gasper (Tanzania pilgrimage safaris) who helped me answer all my questions beforehand via what’s app. I found out about their agency from this website (from filtering to the days I wanted and my price range).

Tanzania was the most Magical, Majestic, Amazing trip I’ve ever taken! ( I’ve traveled quite a bit)
Hamisi Abdul. STRONGLY RECOMMEND! He did an amazing job! So knowledgeable, and kind ! We seen so many animals! Elephants within arms reach, 🦁 lion standing outside my door!
1-2 week old baby elephant, 2 baby cub lion's. There was a beautiful leopard within a hour of setting out!
I took a private 4 day tour, that was exciting to see the next nights accommodations at the end of a magical day on our game drives !
I flew over to Zanzibar Island, and stayed 3 great nights ! We also stayed a weekend at a place about 2 hours outside of Dar, it was called the “Overhang “ that was a great place as well !
Food is not the greatest, it’s okay !
I managed to find plenty of good meals.
I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe at any time ! I’m a female, and traveled on my own.

from Arusha to the Serengeti, then Ngorongoro Crater, and two other parks !I could go on, and on !
It is well worth the long flight from USA to Tanzania Africa, and the cost of the trip! But well worth the money!
It was a trip of a lifetime ❣️❣️🦒🐘🦓🐆🦛 🦁

A stunning landscape with unforgettable wildlife & a cultural experience to fully fall in love with
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.

Astonishing beauty
It was my first safari. I loved everything. It rained as well but this was not a problem at all, I enjoyed the beauty of the rain around as well.
Many wild animals, we were able to catch almost all of the coolest animals.
