What an amazing experience!
Jackson was an incredible safari guide and made our experience truly special. His knowledge, passion for wildlife and great sense of humour made every moment unforgettable. He was attentive, patient and always happy to share interesting insights about the animals and nature.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Jackson, for the wonderful memories — and for your incredible eye for spotting wildlife!

Kind, expert, hawk-eyed
Jackson is not just an amazing safari guide, he is one of those rare people who make an experience truly unforgettable.
Kind, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and, above all, a true lover of nature. His passion for his job is evident from the very first moment you meet him. He treats both his guests and the wildlife with genuine respect, and no question is ever left unanswered.
Thanks to his knowledge, patience and enthusiasm, we experienced the safari in a completely different way. He didn’t just show us animals; he helped us understand and appreciate the wild.
Our journey would not have been the same without Jackson leading us. We are incredibly grateful for the memories he helped create, and we hope to meet him again one day.
Thank you, hawk-eyed Jackson!

Top Selected Tours - Excellent tour operator, service provider, and guide
Well, what can I say.
I am usually lazy at the planning stage of holidays leaving everything to my wife. When our son asked us to join him on a safari my wife started looking through the hundreds of operators to plan the trip. Top Selected Tours stood out with great response and attention to detail. I did not get too involved at this stage other than to confirm approval if my wife was happy with the communication.
We arrived into Nairobi and again the service and communication for transfers to Arusha were spot on with great drivers and communication.
It was when we got into the safari itself that things really stood out. Our guide John was excellent - friendly, communicative and knowledgeable, he soon became part of the family. John clearly knows his way around Safari and maintains a great network of contacts. It felt like the wildlife came to us rather than us needing to look for it.
We could not have expected to see more in 5 days (4 nights) with the migration, the big 5, Cheetahs, Hyena, amazing birdlife and much more.
John found everything we could have wanted to see and always seemed to know where to position the vehicle for great views. John took the time and care to ensure we were looked after at every stage. Even going without breakfast himself to hurry us to see the lions eating their breakfast. If we safari again John will be our choice of guide.
It was also great to meet Jackson one evening at one of the tented camps. You can tell just how passionate both Jackson and John are about providing a great service and celebrating all that Tanzania have to offer.

Attentive tour operator
We had a great experience with this company from start to finish. They were very attentive and provided all the information we needed clearly and promptly. Everything included in our contract, including internal flights, hotels and park arrangements, was delivered as agreed, and we had no problems at all. Jackson also checked in with us during the safari to make sure everything was going well, which was a lovely touch.
The safari itself was amazing, and we were incredibly lucky with both the wildlife and our guide, John! He is very experienced and has an excellent eye for spotting animals, even from a distance. He also understands their movements very well and always tried to position the vehicle in the best possible place for photos and viewing.
John was also a careful and attentive driver, especially during the longer journeys. He was friendly, patient and attentive, explaining the places we passed and always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying the experience.
Our vehicle had no problems at all, which was particularly reassuring as we saw several other safari vehicles breaking down along the way.
We would definitely recommend this company and, especially, John as a guide. We had an unforgettable safari experience!

Top Selected Tours gaves us the top experience
One of the most important things for us was to have a good communication and receive all the most important information before the departure, Adabert explained us everything clearly and precisely. Since from the first day of Safari Nurdin and Joshua were very helpful and well-prepared, explaining everything to us about the history of the places we visited and the characteristics of the animals we encountered along the way. Their knowledge of the area was truly exceptional.

Unforgettable Safari with John!
Our multi-day safari was an absolute dream come true, and a huge part of the magic was thanks to our fantastic guide, John.
From day one, John was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and warm-hearted. He is also an expert driver who navigates the bumpy savannah tracks with total safety and skill, always making sure we had the best spots for viewing and photography.
Thanks to his deep knowledge of the park, we saw an incredible abundance of wildlife. We witnessed the breathtaking Great Migration of the wildebeest in the Northern Serengeti -a truly awe-inspiring spectacle of nature. On top of that, we spotted many animals, a lot of lions, and had the ultimate highlight: coming across a stunning mother cheetah with her four tiny cubs playing peacefully in the grass!
It was an extraordinary adventure from start to finish. If you are planning a safari, definitely ask for John!
Top Safari and top John
Tanzania and its wildlife is beautiful, seeing animals in their habitat is breathtaking. Organization was super, but what I appreciated the most has been our guide John: professional and capable - he knows everything you want to know, and he’s the kind of person who instantly makes you feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
THANK YOU JOHN!

Excellent tour operator, perfectly organized, with high-quality accommodations throughout.
Amazing 9-day safari with John – highly recommended!
We had an amazing safari, travelling from Arusha all the way to the Northern Serengeti and back, and I could not have asked for a better guide than John.
Thanks to his experience, knowledge of the parks and ability to spot wildlife, we were able to see an incredible number of animals, including many lions and several unforgettable sightings throughout the trip. He always knew where to go and made every safari day interesting and rewarding.
Another aspect that I particularly appreciated was his safe and careful driving. This is something that should not be taken for granted on a safari, especially after hearing very different experiences from some friends who travelled with other guides. With John, we always felt safe, both inside the parks and during the long transfers between destinations.
He was also extremely kind, patient and helpful with all of us throughout the entire nine days. He was always willing to answer our questions, accommodate our requests and give us the time we wanted to enjoy each sighting without ever making us feel rushed.

Amazing Tanzania safari with Top Selected Tours, incredible wildlife, and unforgettable memories!
Our 6 day, 5 night safari with Top Selected Tours was an unforgettable experience. Coming from New Zealand, I spent a lot of time researching the right company, wanting to choose a trusted operator while also supporting local, and we’re so glad we chose them!
Everything was so well organised from the start, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the journey. Our itinerary took us through Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, with each destination offering something unique, from stunning landscapes to incredible wildlife encounters.
We were lucky enough to see the major drawcard animals, along with lots of others!
A special thank you to Jackson, who truly made the trip exceptional. His knowledge, passion, and dedication were outstanding. He went above and beyond to help us spot wildlife and shared so many fascinating insights along the way. His enthusiasm and love for what he does really enhanced the whole experience.
The accommodation was excellent throughout, the food was good, and everything ran smoothly. We always felt well looked after and appreciated the care taken in every detail.
We are so grateful to the Top Selected Tours team, and especially Jackson, for an experience we will never forget. I highly recommend them to anyone dreaming of a Tanzanian safari this truly was the adventure of a lifetime!
