TST and John are the best!
We had such a wonderful tour and safari with Top Selected tours and our super fun and knowledgeable guide, John!. John made the trip a dream for me and my daughter. We say leopards, cheetahs, lions, Rhino's and a whole lot more. He knew where to go and it was perfect. He also took care of making sure we were safe and comfortable during our rides and at our hotels. WI wish I could travel like this everywhere. Thank you, John. If you haven't guessed by now, when booking a tour you ABSOLUTELY need to ask for John to be your guide. You will thank me later.
An incredible company that will tailor a safari to your needs and wants.
Adabert, the tour manager, was exceptional throughout the entire process. He was incredibly responsive from day one and altered everything to our needs. We went with a private tour and believe it was good value for money as we had the entire Jeep experience for the three of us. We worked with Adabert to select luxury accommodation and he swapped to ones of our liking as requested. He successfully arranged an additional bed or baby cot for our toddler at each camp resulting in zero fuss upon arrival each day. We had one mishap which he managed to rectify and make up for immediately!
An incredible company that will tailor a safari to your needs and wants.
We highly recommend.

Amazing Experience!
We had a fantastic Safari with Top Selected Tours. Our guide Jackson was outstanding and very knowledgeable with an obvious passion for wildlife and the national parks in Tanzania. When planning our Safari him and his team were very responsive and helpful over email and Watsapp. He was very patient with all our ideas for the trip, changes I kept making, and his recommendations for camps to stay in turned out to be very good. I wanted to explore the western corridor, the great migration and big five action in central Serengeti, but didn’t want to always be around herds of other Jeeps. He ticked all the boxes. He genuinely cares about providing the best Safari experience possible. Also, his eye sight is outstanding.. he would see a leopard in a tree 100 metres away in low light - barely visible through binoculars, but he would catch it while driving and stop. Jackson was hard working, the jeep was comfortable, and he took care in making sure our bookings at each camp was as we asked. Highly recommend!

Great experience
We had the absolute pleasure of spending a week with Jackson as our driver and guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was an excellent driver—always safe and reliable—and his knowledge of the area was truly impressive. During the game drives, he managed to find every animal we hoped to see, thanks to his incredible eye and experience.
Jackson knows the roads like the back of his hand, and his warm, friendly, and cheerful personality made every moment with him enjoyable. It was a real joy to have him with us throughout the week. We wholeheartedly recommend Jackson and his company to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience. Thank you, Jackson!

A unique experience!
Only the most sincere recommendations! Our guide - Isaya - was unreal! I think it was only thanks to him that we saw more than usual tourists see! He has a great sense of animals and simply an indescribable sense of nature! Thank you Isaya!

Top tour operator for Safari in Tanzania!
Isaya was the best guide we could have asked for. He doesn’t just follow other cars, he takes his own way to show you as many animals as possible. Besides driving his knowledge about animals is big and we had very long and good conversations.
The accommodations are selected very well and also the food was very delicious.
If you are searching for a reliable tour operator you have to go with Top Selected Tours and ask for Isaya.

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.
