Personal approach and excellent listening resulted in a safari which overrated our expectations
Our guide Mussa Mollel guided us for the second time trough the Northern Parks. He is an excellent driver, guide and animal spotter with a good sense of humor. We loved to listen to all the knowledge he shared with us including his stories about culture. We highly recommend Top Selected Tours and especially Mussa. Thank you so much Jackson to make this possible. We had a wonderful safari, we miss Tanzania and hope to see you soon. Baadaye!!

Highly recommended travel agency!
Top selected is really a great travel agency! The itineraries they planned were all very satisfying. Special recommendation to our guide, John, who was just like a father to us—very patient and attentive. He helped us spot so many animals and answered all our questions in great detail. He also kept the car spotlessly clean every day, which greatly enhanced our overall experience. Strongly recommend—choose John!
Top-tier planning, expert guides John, and life-changing wildlife encounters.
John was our guide, and we want to thank him for giving us an unforgettable safari experience.
1. Top Selected and our guide John booked our hotels and camp lodges a month in advance, requesting the best rooms with the most stunning views—and we truly enjoyed breathtaking scenery.
2. John speaks excellent English and is incredibly reliable. He took care of almost everything for us, even bargaining for avocados by the roadside. He also has eagle eyes—thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see the African Big Five during our safari, and we spotted nearly 30 lions!
3. The meals and the pace of the trip were excellent. John was always punctual, making sure we saw as much of the landscapes and wildlife as possible every day.
4. Our friends spent a long time comparing options and finally chose Top Selected. After these few days, we highly recommend John as a guide—he made all of our African dreams come true!

Amazing experience, extremely personable guide!
Unreal experience with Jackson on safari. Managed to see everything we wanted to see, including the big 5. Jackson went above and beyond to accommodate us.
Everything was great from before booking until we left, excellent communication throughout and even a very late transfer from the airport sorted for us.
I learnt on safari that the most important thing is having a personable and friendly guide because you will spend so much time with them. Jackson was exactly this, always friendly and answered my many questions. He was very knowledgable about all the wildlife we encountered.
Would highly recommend using Top Selected, especially Jackson as he made our safari unforgettable. Thank you so much!

Great Safari, absolute worth it
We have been on a safari Tour for 5-6 days with top selected Tours, and it has been an amazing Experience. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Serengeti.
First the booking and planning was easy, quick answers, they try to organize everything to your liking and are trusworthy.
The safari tour is private, and John our Safari guide did a really good job. He tried to make everything possible, considered different interests and was real helpful and obliging. On top we saw so many animals, over 50 lions for example and had great views over the landscape.
The lodges wich have been booked were extraordinary, with real good service and super nice atmosphere. Just a little exception was the hotel in Arusha (tulip), wich was still fine.
So all in all we can totally recommend a tour with top selected and also with John! All the best to you and thank you again.

True gentleman with warm heart. Specialist in animal, driving, local history and culture!
Always on time and very professional. He had great energy and kept the mood positive and fun throughout the trip.
Even though it rained a lot and the car got muddy every day, he made sure it was always clean and ready.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure in Tanzania
Our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was truly one of the most amazing travel experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was very well organized, which made the whole journey stress-free.
The planning of the safari was excellent. Each day felt perfectly balanced — full of adventure but never rushed.
The accommodations were also great: comfortable, and located in beautiful natural settings. My personal love is staying in tented camp-lodge Tukaone Serengeti camp surrounded by the African savannah! It made the experience absolutely special! Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunset over the plains is something I’ll remember for a long time.
A big part of why this safari was so special was our driver-guide, John. He was fantastic! Not only is he a very skilled driver (which is important on some of the park roads!) If anything unexpected came up, he handled it easily and always found a solution.
He also has an incredible eye for wildlife. Time after time he managed to spot animals that we would have completely missed on our own — lions resting in the tall grass, a leopard hidden in a tree, even rhinos far away in the distance.
Thanks to his skills — and a bit of luck — we managed to see the entire Big Five. That alone would have made the trip unforgettable. But we also had fun spotting the famous “Ugly Five”, which made the experience even more unique.
So, if you want to have the safari of your dreams, then with John as your driver you will on heaven!
Each park had its own atmosphere:
the massive baobab trees and huge elephant herds in Tarangire, the perfect place to see elephants - just an arm's length away!
the breathtaking views and dense wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater. An unique park in the crater of an ancient volcano. Absolutely stunning views from above and a multitude of wild animals living their lives in a relatively small area, all the while allowing people to gaze upon them with rapt attention.
and the endless plains of the Serengeti - Oh, this is my personal crush! - filled with animals everywhere you look.
Words and descriptions are powerless here – the Serengeti simply has to be seen!
Overall, the safari exceeded our expectations — great organization, comfortable places to stay, incredible wildlife, and a truly excellent guide. We’re very grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who dreams of seeing Tanzania’s amazing national parks. It was a trip we’ll never forget. 🐘🦁🌅

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.
