Our 6 days – 5 nights safari in Tanzania was truly the trip of a lifetime!
From the very first moment, everything was so well organized and we felt completely taken care of.
A huge part of our incredible experience was thanks to our guide and driver, John. He was one of a kind — knowledgeable, kind, patient, and always making sure we were safe and comfortable. What impressed us most was how he helped us “read” into the savannah: with his sharp eyes and years of experience, he made sure we never missed a moment. He always positioned us at the best spot to observe the animals and created opportunities we were wishing for. By the end of the trip, we felt almost like family with him.
The absolute highlight of our journey was witnessing the Great Migration crossing the Mara River — something we still cannot believe we were lucky enough to see! It was simply breathtaking.
We also want to thank Adabert for his excellent communication and planning. Every detail was handled so smoothly, and the accommodation choices were just perfect — comfortable, authentic, and always enhancing the feeling of adventure. To top it all off, the meals were consistently delicious, adding another layer of enjoyment to our days.
We came back home with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Tanzania and its wildlife. We would recommend this tour operator without hesitation to anyone dreaming of an authentic safari experience.

The main guide and driver - Domi - was wonderful . He was very friendly, and made his best to follow our requests.

Knowledge and experience making an unforgettable East African extravaganza
We had a fantastic trouble free trip to Uganda, Rwanda, Zanzibar and Tanzania. Our guide and tour director Jackson was an incredible wealth of knowledge as one of the most experienced guides in Tanzania and had an uncanny ability to identify the best places to go-the Great Migration was a humbling and unforgettable highlight.

Fantastic and experienced tour guide and travel director
Jackson Kitesho from Top Selected Tours was our African tour director and personal guide for our 6 day safari across Northern & Central Serengeti, Lake Tarangire, Ngorogoro crater and Lake Munyara, Tanzania. He was fantastic with an incredible knowledge and engaging stories of local and tribal cultures, landscapes and animals. His English was excellent. He was very experienced and clearly respected by other guides. We were able to see the river crossing of the Great Migration which was one of the many highlights. Across the safaris, Jackson was able to spot animals from far away and get us up close. We felt very safe & confident with his driving. He washed his car daily so it was always a delight to start each day on safari.
Jackson organized our whole African itinerary (20 days in different countries), gave advice about what we might like to do, organized great accommodations and connected us with great local tour guides/ companies in other countries. He was very quickly responsive to my hundreds of questions on WhatsApp and gave advice as to what we needed to pack and visas. The whole trip was very reasonably priced compared to other quotes we had. You couldn’t find any better and I highly recommend him and his business.

Beautiful Serengeti experience
This was my 4th safari experience after Botswana, Namibia and Kenya, but my 5 days with TST witnessing the Great Migration was the best to date! My partner and I were very lucky to be paired with Jackson who proved to be an excellent guide. He had a strong network, spoke perfect English and had the eyes of a hawk - spotting a variety of animals seemingly invisible to the untrained human eye! The accommodation and meal options were great - I would definitely recommend TST to anyone looking to experience the Serengeti in all her majestic beauty.

We had an amazing 6-day Embark on big 5 safari with Materuni Waterfalls with Top Selected Tours
Today we came back from our safari and it was an amazing and unforgettable experience for our family. We started at the Materuni Waterfalls. The hike was incredible in the beautiful nature. We also went to the coffee plantage and we had a delicious lunch here from the locals. We ended the day with the hot springs. This combination with the safari was really nice. On the second day we met John, our safari guide. There was an instant connection with John. He is a really relaxed and kind guy, knows everything about the animals and culture, really passionated about his job. We felt very safe with him all the time driving these difficult roads. We started the safari by Tarangire national park. Also went 2 days to Serengeti and ended at the Ngorongoro Crater. We liked every accommodation, especially the one in Serengeti in the bush bush! That was a really nice experience. The contact with Adabert was very good from the beginning till the end. We also met Jackson during the game drive in Serengeti. We have seen together the beautiful lion family. We would recommend everyone to book with Top Selected Tours!!

Top selected tours provides an amazing adventure. They're reliable and super friendly.
We are so thankful for the wonderful adventure we had on our 5 day Safari with topselected tours. The booking proces was very easy. All our questions were answered quickly by Jackson and his team and the pick up at the Lodge was also according to plan.
Because of our great guide Domi we were super lucky and got to see so many amazing animals and the river crossing. He always knew where to go in order to have the best chances in spotting the wildlife. Domi is a super friendly guy and we felt safe and well taken care of the entire trip. He knows his way around the Serengeti and the other Nationalparks perfectly and gave us so much interesting information about the wild animals we saw.
The accomodations that were selected for us were amazing as well.
We couldn't be any happier and will cherrish this amazing trip for the rest of our lives. Asante sana!

They'll help you have a fantastic experience!
Since the first contact, I had a very good experience with Adabert and Top Selected Tours. He very swiftly and politely answered all my questions. When I reached Tanzania he was also very supportive.
The tour definitely met my expectations, and in the case of the accommodation in the camp it surpassed them! I had a quite comfortable and safe stay (of course, with the limitations of a camp in the middle of the savannah) and this was the part I was most anxious about (along with stopping to go to the washroom, but there are enough stops on the tours for that!).
That being said, some points for improvement I would suggest: while our guide was great and made all efforts to make us spot as much animals as possible, I missed learning more about the wildlife and felt it was a bit superficial, and I believe he was knowledgeable. I think the briefing of the tours should be more complete too, so we'd be more aware of what to expect for the day. I also missed full transparency in a couple of points: I was told the transfers (from airports to hotels) would be on them, meaning it was included in the package, but I needed to pay extra. And on the last day there was also a visit to a Maasai village, that although was a nice experience, it was not previously briefed and we needed to pay 50 USD (as a group of 3) to enter there and spend some 30 minutes.
Overall, excellent experience and would definitely recommend!

We can highly recommend Top Selected Tours!
We booked our 3-day safari via email and received immediate responses to all our questions from Top Selected Tours. This allowed us to create a perfectly tailored tour that turned out to be even better than expected.
Our guide, Jackson, picked us up from our hotel in Arusha right on time. He was an animal expert, had a lot of interesting information to share about all the animals, and was also a very pleasant person with a great sense of humor. We felt comfortable and well taken care of right from the start!
Our tour took us to Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks to Jackson, we saw all the animals we hoped to see and learned a lot about Tanzania, the Maasai, and the local culture! We had lovely accommodations with great staff and delicious food!
Overall, a real stroke of luck!

Once in a lifetime experience
We did a 6-day private safari (Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara) with Top Selected Tours for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely incredible, truly a once in a lifetime experience! Our guide, Jackson, who has over 15 years of Experience, was phenomenal. He’s extremely knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife and culture of his country and he always went the extra mile to tailor the experience to our preferences, even during the booking conversations. Jackson’s skills in spotting animals are unbelievable. He was able to see wildlife with the naked eye from hundreds of meters away, often when we couldn’t even find them with binoculars! Thanks to his sharp eye and deep understanding of animal behavior, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and the Great Migration!
The accommodations included in our tour were excellent, very comfortable and well-located, and the food throughout was delicious. Everything was well organized, and we felt safe, relaxed, and fully immersed in the beauty of Tanzania from start to finish.
We recommend Jackson as a guide to absolutely anyone without hesitation!
