Most incredible experience!
We had the most incredible 5 day safari over the Christmas period across the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara & Tarangire. Our guide David was amazing, very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals. We were very conscious that our safari that felt ethical and kind towards the animals, and David was the right guy for this. He went above and beyond throughout the trip to make our time really memorable and special!
The months spent planning the safari beforehand were made very easy thanks to Rehema. Every request and amendment was taken on board, and we really had the perfect itinerary with some really beautiful lodges.

A caring and professional team that creates unforgettable safari experiences.
We chose to celebrate my 40th birthday with a safari together with my wife and our two daughters (3 and 7 years old), and it turned out to be one of the most special experiences of our lives.
Everything was perfectly organized, smooth, and stress-free, which is exactly what you need when traveling with young children. But what truly made the difference was the people behind the experience.
A very special thank you to Happy Mukas, who went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. His care, attention to detail, and genuine kindness made us feel not just like clients, but like guests. He made sure every moment was meaningful and tailored to our family.
For our little princesses, this was pure magic, seeing animals in the wild, discovering nature, and living an adventure they will remember for a lifetime.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating such a beautiful and memorable experience for our family. We truly hope to come back again one day.

True professionalism and attentiveness
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Telly Africa Safaris during our game drive in Mikumi National Park. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the beauty of the wildlife and landscapes.
We were due to fly into Nyerere NP for a one day, private game drive however due to a technical fault with the aircraft the flight was cancelled by the airline.
Telly Africa Safaris did everything in their power to ensure that we got to mainland Tanzania and booked us on a flight the very next day however to Mikumi NP instead. We were not disappointed…
A special thank you goes to the organiser, Happy Mukas, whose professionalism and attentiveness truly made the trip exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and she was always available, ensuring we were comfortable, informed, and having the best possible experience throughout the safari.
The guide was knowledgeable, the vehicle was comfortable, and the entire journey felt safe, smooth, and well-coordinated. We saw incredible wildlife and created memories that will last a lifetime.
I highly recommend Telly Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organised, professional, and truly memorable safari adventure in Tanzania!

Outstanding Safari Experience from Start to Finish
We had the most incredible 5-day safari with Telly Africa Safari and honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly.
From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised and seamless. We specifically wanted to book with a local operator after doing our research, and we’re so glad we chose Telly Africa Safari. Salome was our first point of contact and she was fantastic — responsive, helpful, and she organised everything perfectly, including our airport pick-up and drop-off. The whole process felt smooth, straightforward and stress-free.
Our guide and driver, Davie, was exceptional. His knowledge of the animals and birds was outstanding, and you could really tell how passionate and experienced he is. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly for sightings and was so patient and attentive. Nothing was ever a problem for him, and he truly made the experience special. We had such a wonderful time with him and learned so much throughout the trip.
The entire safari exceeded our expectations — amazing wildlife, beautiful lodges, and a team that genuinely cares about delivering a fantastic experience.
We would absolutely book with Telly Africa Safari again and would recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Thank you for bringing me the touching Kenya and Tanzania Safari
I spent 11 unforgettable days on Safari in Kenya and Tanzania.
Our guide in Kenya is Jimmy, who is full of passion and always manages to stir up the emotions of my parents even if they don't speak English. Jimmy is very professional. He can make some accurate judgments based on the habits of animals, such as telling us that there is a lion pack hidden in some grass that is ready to hunt, even though we cannot see it now. However, the fact proves that it is indeed the case. We greatly admire his accurate judgment of animal behavior.
Our guide Godbless in Tanzania has a different style. He is more steady and doesn't say much, but when you ask for some knowledge about animals, his eyes light up and he becomes particularly willing to share. He said he loves every animal here, and if you see the expression on his face when he says this, you will believe it is true.Moreover, he is very responsible. On the one hand, he is very responsible to us. When my family felt gastrointestinal discomfort, he took the initiative to help us find hot water and solve the problem. On the other hand, what I particularly appreciate is that he is also very responsible towards animals. When other tour guides get too close to the female cheetah carrying cubs, or when people make noise and startle the animals eating, he will stand up and tell people not to do that, not to scare the animals. In the days I spent with him, I often felt touched by his respect and love for nature.
If you, like us, want to delve deeper into the animal ecology of Kenya and Tanzania, then I recommend Telly Safari and make sure to choose Jimmy and Godbles as your guides. A good guide will be the biggest highlight of a trip!

Excellent service from A to Z
We've had great time during our 2-day safari with Telly Safaris last week. Perfect organization and service from very beginning and offer customization. Full service including pickup and drop off from/to our hotel in Zanzibar. Out guide was Joel, great person, he showed us everything we wanted. We've seen big 5, visited Tarangire and incredible Ngorongoro Crater. We truly recommend Telly Africa Safaris as an Safari operator.
Highest service, honnesty, fast turnaround
The most satisfying aspect was the fast turnaround and the ability to clarify the multiple aspects of the logistics.
Secondly our guide/driver was 90% fluent in our native language (French), same for the English (I am bilingual). French was used the most and sometime, english filled the gap. In other words, communication was quick, easy and highly efficient.
IMO the value for money is on par and most likely higher than the other safaris. Note that many safaris start by a day at the hotel...therfore a 5 days is in fact a 4 days safari...smart scam IMAO.
THe only (slightly negative) aspect was about the driving..just wondering. The car was worn and required some attention. The positive side is that it provided us with the opportunity to be closer and interact with people. Last, we wonder if the driving/route can be optimized. Our GPS app provided the actual path we used, seems it can be improved.
All things considered, I would have no hesitation to go on another safari with Telly.
