Our tourguide Jackson was amazing! Great stays, good lunch, well prepared.
It was amazing! We saw so many animals including the big 5! Jackson told us a lot about the animals, the parks and the Masai. The places we stayed in the parks were unbelievable. Beautiful locations, great people, good food and very clean.

Professional, Spanish-speaking safari experts, Daniel and John made it unforgettable.
Tanzania truly exceeded every expectation. Spending a full week exploring the parks was simply unreal. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, and not from far away — lions resting just meters from the vehicle, a leopard crossing right in front of us, cheetahs out in the open. It honestly felt like being inside a wildlife documentary. The photos are incredible, but the real magic is the emotion you feel in the moment.
A huge part of this experience was thanks to our guides, John and Daniel. Their knowledge, timing, and instinct are on another level. They always seemed to know exactly where to go and how to position the vehicle for the best possible view. You never feel rushed — they make sure you truly experience each sighting.
Daniel speaking fluent Spanish made everything even more special for us. He didn’t just point out animals; he explained the history, culture, ecosystems, and local traditions throughout the journey. We came for a safari, but we left with a deep understanding of Tanzania and its way of life.
What we appreciated most was their respect — for nature, for the animals, and for us as guests. Nothing felt forced or intrusive. The entire trip felt responsible, authentic, and thoughtfully organized.
The food was consistently excellent, the lodges were comfortable and beautifully selected, and the overall service was professional yet very personal.
This wasn’t just a trip — it was a life experience. The kind you talk about for years and carry with you forever.
We would absolutely do it again, even with children. Experiencing nature at its purest like this is something everyone should live at least once.
Huge thanks to Daniel, John, Jackson, and Top Selected Tours for making it unforgettable.

Top Selected Tours and guides John & Dani made it effortless—we saw the Big Five thanks to them.
If you’re thinking about doing a safari in Tanzania, stop searching — this is it. After one week on safari in Tanzania, we can only say one thing: SPECTACULAR.
We’ve seen absolutely everything, including the Big Five — and incredibly close. Lions just a few meters away, leopards, cheetahs… moments that felt like they were straight out of a documentary. We captured amazing photos and videos, but honestly, the best part isn’t that — it’s the feeling of witnessing it live.
Our guides, John and Daniel, were key to making everything so perfect. If you book with Top Selected Tours, you have to ask to go with them. They know exactly where to go at the right time, they know the precise spots where the animals are, and they position the vehicle perfectly so you get the best possible view and can fully enjoy every moment.
Something that was especially important for us: Daniel speaks perfect Spanish, and throughout the entire trip he explained not only what we were seeing, but also the cultural, historical, and natural background of each place. We learned so much about Tanzania — its traditions, its wildlife, its way of life. It’s not just a safari; it’s truly understanding the place you’re visiting.
They completely adapt to you, and they have deep respect for the ecosystem and the animals — and you can feel that. At no point does it feel like anything is being forced. Everything flows naturally and responsibly.
The food was excellent every single day, the service was warm and highly professional, and the accommodations were very well chosen and extremely comfortable.
Without exaggeration, this has been one of the best experiences of our lives. It’s the kind of trip that leaves a mark on you forever — the kind that stays in your heart.
And the best part is that it’s an experience we would absolutely do even with children. Seeing nature in its purest state in this paradise is something everyone should experience at least once in their life.
We will definitely repeat.
Thank you, Daniel.
Thank you, John.
Thank you, Jackson.
Thank you, Top Selected Tours!

very good
I highly recommend Top Selected Tours. They truly deserve the "Top" title. I selected them from over a dozen local tour agencies. Our guide, Jackson, is an outstanding one with 16 years of experience. He is an experienced driver, so even if it rained, our vehicle would not get stuck. During the trip, Jackson helped two stuck vehicles and one with a flat tire. During our 8 days and 7 nights, we saw the Big Five of Africa, witnessed lion mating, and many baby lions. They were so cute. Jackson's rich experience made our trip perfect. He always found the best photo spots and was knowledgeable, sharing a lot of information with us. His eyesight was excellent, spotting animals from a distance. He was like a man with a built-in telescope. The accommodation and itinerary were very well arranged, allowing us to see all the animals we wanted. The price was also very reasonable. I don't know how he did it, but for the same itinerary and accommodation, Top offered me the most reasonable price. The communication before the trip was also very smooth. I highly recommend them to everyone. If you come for a safari, please choose them! They will give you a wonderful experience.

Fantastic
The travel agency and the guide were absolutely, positively, incredibly amazing!
The guide's eyes were seriously superhuman. On the last day, when we were looking for rhinos in the crater, they were extremely far away. We eventually needed binoculars and had to focus for a while just to see them, but he could spot them precisely! He truly has eagle eyes—a man with built-in binoculars!
Moreover, the guide was very friendly. He patiently communicated with me even though my English isn't great, and he even helped me look up corresponding introductions in the Chinese "Wildlife Handbook."
Highly recommended!

An unforgettable adventure!
We had an amazing Safari in Tanzania! The landscapes were stunning, and the wildlife was incredible. The absolute highlight was watching a pride of lions feasting on a fresh kill just metres from our vehicle – such a raw and powerful sight. We were also lucky enough to spot a rare black rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater. An experience we will never forget! Highly recommended.

Splendid journey with unforgettable moments
Many thanks to our professional and hard working guider, Jackson, who lead us to find different kind of animals, baby lions and witness cheetah's hunting process. Besides, the tended camp guider chosed is beyond my expectation.

Unforgettable memories about savanna
Just got back from the most amazing 5-days safari with you guys in Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, and I wanted to share my heartfelt feedback.
Our guide John was a total legend. His expert driving skills on the rugged terrains ensured safe, smooth navigation even during unexpected road challenges. He knows these parks inside out from nailing leopard sightings in Serengeti to describing Ngorongoro’s volcanic ecosystem in vivid detail. He made every moment educational and thrilling. And of course, kudos to lions, which John spotted the last day in Serengeti, it was actually a movie to watch them. Thanks for care and wonderful memories about this amazing country!
What impressed me most was the seamless organization despite some troubleshooting issues like vehicle maintenance and weather delays. Your team’s proactive management kept everything on track, turning every second into memorable adventures.
The hotels in this safari tour also worth mentioning. Eileen’s Trees was comfy and perfect but Tukaone Serengeti Lodge stole the show – right in the heart of the savanna, provided the perfect blend of luxury and wildlife right outside (one night we heard and saw the hyena just on the way back to our room, and saw impalas from our terrace). It’s unforgettable experience which you cannot imagine in other parts of the world!
Can’t recommend you enough – already plotting my next trip with Top Selected and John. Cheers and Asante sana!

An unforgettable safari experience.
This safari exceeded all expectations. We traveled during a very special season — the start of the Great Migration from Tanzania to Kenya and it was absolutely extraordinary.
We saw millions of wildebeests and zebras, as well as an incredible diversity of wildlife. The animals were active, not just resting! We witnessed hunting lions, and real life in the wild. The scale, beauty, and power of nature were overwhelming and many moments truly took our breath away.
The organization was excellent, and our guide was outstanding! Professional, attentive, and truly on the same vibe with us. Thank you, Jackson! Spending several days together in the car felt easy and comfortable, which made the entire experience even more special.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to see real, wild Africa and experience something truly unforgettable.

A phenomenal tour operator with an outstanding guide who truly cares about the experience.
I chose Top Selected Tours after reaching out to six different companies, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. We did a four day safari to Ndutu to see the Great Migration, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we were picked up, we felt completely at ease with our guide, Jackson. He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every part of the experience. By the end of the trip, it genuinely felt like we were saying goodbye to a good friend.
The Land Cruiser was in excellent condition and very comfortable, with a pop up roof for optimal wildlife viewing. Jackson consistently found the best locations and positioned the vehicle perfectly so we could get clear, close views of the animals. We were lucky enough to see an abundance of lions, along with cheetahs, a leopard, elephants, hippos, giraffes, and much more. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
We were also extremely happy with the accommodations. From the tented camp in Ndutu, complete with a flushing toilet, hot shower, queen size bed, and desk, surrounded by zebras and gazelles walking through the camp, to Eileen’s Tree Lodge with its beautiful grounds and pool, everything was top notch. The food throughout the trip was consistently excellent.
This safari was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend Top Selected Tours to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania. It’s also worth noting that they are Tanzanian owned, so you’re directly supporting local businesses. Five stars, without question. And if you go, ask for Jackson, you won’t regret it.
