Top safari experience with Top Selected Tours
We had the pleasure of having Jackson as our tour guide for 5 days in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. He was very knowledgable, with 15 years of experience behind him, had great contacts which means he booked nice accommodation at good prices and was very friendly throughout. We saw the Big 5, but more importantly we learned a lot about the local flora and fauna, the culture. It can be overwhelming to choose a tour operator online, solely based on second hand opinions but we got lucky with Top Selected Tours and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone on the fence.

Top Selected Tours is caring, reliable, and made our Tanzanian adventure truly unforgettable.
We had the most extraordinary trip with Top Selected Tours and can’t recommend them highly enough. Everything was smooth, thoughtful, and exceptionally well organized — and we felt completely taken care of from start to finish and at super reasonable prices. Communication was perfect throughout, and the team went above and beyond in every possible way.
Jackson, the owner, was incredible. He personally met us at the airport when we arrived and again at the end of our trip to check in and hear how everything went — such a thoughtful and personal touch. When we ran into unexpected flight issues and ended up delayed and needing to depart from a different airport, Jackson didn’t hesitate to step in. Even though our tour had officially ended, he arranged for Emmanuel to drive us early the next morning — another example of how they truly look after their guests until the very end.
Our guide and driver John was a joy to travel with — professional, kind, knowledgeable, and great company. We felt safe and well cared for the whole time, and genuinely enjoyed getting to know him. He went above and beyond for us, taking us to some really cool places we wouldn't have found on our own. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
The entire trip was based in the Lake Natron area, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Adebayo, our Maasai guide, gave us an unforgettable experience — hiking through waterfalls, exploring the site of the oldest human footprints, and spotting wildlife like flamingos, giraffes, and zebras, all surrounded by stunning landscapes. His insight and warmth made every part of it special.
We honestly can’t say enough good things about this company and the people behind it. As two women traveling alone in a remote part of Tanzania, we felt incredibly safe, supported, and cared for the entire time thanks to this team. They turned our trip into something truly memorable, and we’re so grateful to Jackson, John, Adebayo, and Emmanuel for everything they did to make it such a standout experience.

Amazing Tanzanian Safari with John!
We booked a 6 day safari with Top Selected Tours and enjoyed every minute of it! After getting picked up from the airport, we started with a tour of Arusha, where we saw the major landmarks and walked through the local market. The next day, we began our safari, visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Makuyuni Wildlife Park.
Our tour guide John was highly experienced and enthusiastic about getting to show us and teach us about all of the wildlife. Thanks to him, we got to see so many animals, including the Big 5. John even went out of his way to ensure that we saw cheetahs, which we were the animal that we were the most excited to see. He made the trip so special and we could not have asked for a better guide!
The accommodations were all very nice, and we enjoyed picnicking with packed lunches every day in the nature parks. Top Selected Tours was very helpful and professional in helping us book the best trip we could’ve asked for by providing their expert opinion, which ensured the experience was unforgettable. We highly recommend booking with them and John!

Impressive Tour, highly recommend booking with them
We very much enjoyed our 4 day safari with Top Selected Tours, and John was our guide. From the start it was the non pressure, route and price point that stood out among the rest. Our guide John was very patient and attentive to all our needs and photo requirements on the trip, along with ensuring and doing his very best to allow us to see all and as many animals. The four day trip was great , and the hotel recommendations (in particular Mamadunia very impressive). From the start there was no pressure to book unlike other operations and the tour route was just the one I was looking for in order to enjoy all the three bucket list parks/crater.
Great communication and recommend you book with them.

Perfect
A perfect holiday with TopSelected in Serengeti. Our guide successfully took us to see all ‘BIG FIVES’ during 5-day safari and that was so amazing! We went there in February(calving season) and there were many cute baby animals. The safari car was also in good condition.

An Unforgettable Safari with John and Emanuele
Our 9-day safari in Tanzania was nothing short of magical – truly an experience of a lifetime! Everything was perfectly organized, and having a private tour made all the difference. We were able to go at our own pace, follow our interests, and enjoy an incredibly personal and immersive journey.
We started our adventure in the Tarangire National Park, where we were immediately blown away by the sheer number of elephants and other wildlife. From there, we traveled to the stunning Lake Natron, Lake Eyasi, and Lake Manyara, each offering its own unique landscapes and unforgettable encounters, including visits to local tribes that gave us a fascinating cultural insight. Each destination had its own unique magic, from the Serengeti, where we saw an incredible variety of wildlife up close – including the Big Five – to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, which felt like stepping into a nature documentary.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was our amazing guide John. He was not only highly experienced and knowledgeable but also incredibly warm, flexible, and deeply respectful of the animals and environment. Thanks to him, we saw so much more than we ever expected!
Our chef Emanuele was equally impressive – every meal was freshly prepared, generous in portion, and absolutely delicious. We were amazed by the variety of dishes he cooked for us. His kindness and dedication made us feel right at home, even in the middle of the wilderness.
From the smooth and professional communication with the tour company to the sheer diversity of landscapes, wildlife, and cultural encounters, everything about this safari was beyond perfect. We felt safe, well taken care of, and most importantly – we had an absolute blast!

Fantastic tour, thanks to Jackson, a wonderful person and an excellent guide
Today we finished the "5-Day Ndutu Migration Season" safari with Jackson. What can I say, one of the most beautiful experiences ever! The tour is perfectly organized, the food is excellent, the accommodations are always spotlessly clean, and the staff is super welcoming. We saw so many animals, much more than we expected. Jackson was fantastic, he didn't let us miss anything and always took the time to show us the animals. Thanks to his deep knowledge, we learned a lot about the different animals we saw and the national parks we visited. The cherry on top was seeing a baby leopard in a tree and elephants just a few meters from the jeep.
If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, do it with Jackson, you won't regret it!
