A Honeymoon Safari Beyond Expectations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We were initially hesitant to book a safari for our honeymoon—but choosing Telly Africa Safaris turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our trip! From the very beginning, the team was responsive and helpful. They arranged everything seamlessly for our 2-night, 3-day safari from Serengeti to Arusha—including flights, hotel pick-up from Paje (Zanzibar), and drop-off back to our next destination in Nungwi. The logistics were smooth and stress-free, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience. A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aaron, who truly elevated the entire trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an unbelievable eye for spotting wildlife—often seeing animals from great distances before we even noticed them! Thanks to him, we managed to see *the Big Five* in just 1.5 days, including a visit to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. The food exceeded expectations too—especially the generous picnic lunches during the game drives (even I couldn’t finish mine!). The attention to detail and comfort was apparent throughout. As for accommodations: **Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Camp** and **The Retreat at Ngorongoro** were absolutely stunning. The photos online truly don’t do them justice. Both stays were luxurious, peaceful, and perfect for a romantic getaway. There are many safari tour operators out there, but we are so glad we went with Telly Africa Safaris. Their service, planning, and execution were simply outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Tanzania’s wildlife.

The best honeymoon experience ever - Went with Telly on the safari for our honeymoon, and we can truly say that we’ve had the best and most special experience during our 3 day tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and towards Arusha. Not only that, but the pick up in Zanzibar, flight to Seronera and service backwards to our new accommodation in Zanzibar, was perfectly arranged whilst William made sure we were picked up all the time. During our stays on the mainland, they all really made us feel like we were on our honeymoon, with one night even a sing/dance performance during dinner and a cake moment to share with everyone around. Thank you everyone for making this the most special experience ever! Oh and Aron, our tour guide, made sure we had the best spots to see all the wild animals that we wanted to see.

Bespoke 3 day luxury safari - We booked a bespoke private tour for our honeymoon and can highly recommend. We flew in from Zanzibar into Seronera with the last leg being on a small 15 seater prop plane landing on a strip bang in the middle of the Serengeti … exciting from the off. Our guide, the wonderful Aaron, met us at the strip and we were straight out in safari, amazing nailing the ‘big 5’ in less than 2 hours! Aaron had an amazing ability to get us in the right place at the right time, whether it was a spotting a leopard lounging in a tree, predicting where a lioness would meet with her pride or knowing when we should just chill, have some lunch and wait patiently for a black rhino to reappear, he was on the ball every time. The accommodation, luxury tents at Matawi Serengeti camp (complete with hyena’s calling as we fell asleep) and Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain lodge were amazing and well worth splashing out on. In less than 3 days we saw every animal on our wish list including cheetahs and elephants, most of them incredibly up close. An absolutely magical experience (especially the balloon ride) we would recommend to anyone!

Great care, great guide, great experience - When we decided with my wife to travel to Zanzibar for a trip to some summer heat from the cold of winter in Europe our travel agent suggested to break the heat with a safari tour. Telly Africa Safaris must have been the perfect choice to meet the expectations when a safari tour. Mohamed as owner gave us an utmost care by informing us the day before the tour. Transfers and flights both in and out were properly organized. We never felt being lost in a faraway land. They took care about our luggage at Zanzibar while we had the safari tour on the mainland. The tent named Honeymoon at Into Wild Camps was gorgeous for the first night and Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge had an incomparable view over Ngorongoro itself. The balloon safari delivered us an amazing view over Serengeti. Godson as a guide showed exceptional skills in spotting animals all through the 3 days by his 10 years of guiding experience. He helped us with his knowledgeable information on the animals and the environment all along. His friendly approach created a special atmosphere for the tour. We were happy to have the experience with all the animals especially through the number of different lions spotting we succeeded. Thank you for the memorable adventure. Telly Africa Safaris are professionals.

The most incredible 3 days! - That was the most incredible 3 days, and far exceeded both of our expectations. Mohamed from Telly was incredibly helpful in the lead up to our safari, answering all of our questions. He even arranged for us to have our extra luggage looked after for us in Zanzibar during the trip. Assad, our guide, was fantastic! Not only was he amazing at spotting out all of the Big 5, but also a cheetah right after a kill. Assad was professional, friendly, was incredibly knowledgable and made our trip full of memories. The accommodation within the Serengeti and at Ngorongoro were impeccable, beautiful rooms with amazing views. My husband and I chose Telly Africa Safaris for our honeymoon, and are SO happy we did. Thank you so much for such an awesome experience. If you’re thinking of booking Telly, do it!

Unforgettable experience - We had an amazing experience with Telly Safaris. We booked a 3 day / 2 nights safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it was beyond all of our expectations. From the organization of the trip with Mohamed Haroun to the safari itself with the best guide ever Malisa, we can only recommend Telly Safaris. Mohamed was very flexible when organizing the safari, the hotels and transfer as well as very responsive. The trip was completely tailor made to our needs. During the safari we spotted the big five and so many incredible animals thanks to Malisa that is very knowledgeable and so kind. We are very grateful for this trip and will never forget. Book without hesitating, it’s the best decision you will do.

Just wow .. 5 star experience and 5 star service. - I use the safari bookings website and put in what I wanted and was contacted by Mohamed from Telly Africa safaris. He organised a 3 day 2 night luxury safari for us as a group of 8. Everything from the pick up at our hotel in Zanzibar to the flights over and back , the safari itself and the accommodation ran so smoothly and was excellent. Out guides for the days Arun and Godson were brilliant making sure we didn’t miss anything and even managed to arrange trip to a Masi billage after speaking with us. We had a balloon safari as well which I can only describe as magical. We all agreed we had an exceptional time and would not hesitate to recommend Mohamed and Telly Africa Safaris whether you want luxury or basic. We had a 5 star experience with 5 star service. Thanks so much for all the organising.

A fly in fly out safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. - We booked a 3 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, flying in from Arusha and out to Zanzibar. Thanks to Mohamed Haroun we had a really amazing trip. Mohamed helped us to customise the safari to our own specifications and he organised everything. He was quick to respond to queries and requests. A special thank you to Mailiach, our driver and guide on the safari. With his comprehensive knowledge of both National Parks and the animals we learned so much and saw so many different animals. Which included all of the ‘Big Five’. A big thank you to Telly Safaris for a truly memorable experience.
