Jackson the greatest choice for your safari in Tanzania
5/5

Jackson is the greatest!
​We spent 4 days with Jackson for our safari in Tanzania. What can I say, he is simply the best! First of all, he always made us feel completely safe, and he organized everything so perfectly that we didn't have to worry about a thing. He is incredibly friendly and shares so much about local life, too! You can tell he truly cares about Tanzania and is deeply passionate about his work.
​Jackson knows everything there is to know about safaris and is ready to tell you all about every single animal. Truly amazing!
​He personally takes care of his guests and makes them feel so welcome. This is the most important thing, and it's the real difference between his personal company and the big "commercial" ones. So, choose Jackson The Greatest!!!

John is the BEST!
5/5

WOW! Nothing less than a 5 star experience!! My boyfriend and I started communicating with Adabert and responses were always very fast and clear. From the time we met John until we left Tanzania he took care of us as one of his own! John is very well connected and did everything he could to ensure we got the most out of our experience. He tuned into the animals we really wanted to see and taught us a lot about animals we didn’t even know existed! He truly helped create an unforgettable experience! We saw everything and MORE!! His knowledge and love for serving everyone on safari was admirable and I want everyone I know to go on safari with John! We stayed one night in Arusha after safari and even after we had said goodbye to John he called us the next morning to make sure we had a ride to the airport! I highly recommend Top Selected Tours!! They truly take care of you and make sure you get the best experience possible!!!

Best Safari of Our Lives — Incredible Guide, Wildlife Sightings & Service
5/5

Top Selected Tours gave us one of the best experience of our lives. Our guide, John, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We saw everything we wanted - cheetahs, leopards, lions, rhinos, elephants, and a lot more. Somehow, we were constantly the first vehicle to every sighting. It became obvious very quickly that John truly knew what he was doing - other safari operators were even messaging and calling him asking where the animals were.

Not only was he an amazing guide, but he was also an excellent driver and genuinely treated us like family throughout the entire trip. He went above and beyond in every way possible, even calling us after the safari ended just to make sure we safely made it to our flight.

I truly cannot recommend John and Top Selected Tours enough. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, book with them and ask for John. It was an unforgettable experience and worth every penny.

Personal approach and excellent listening resulted in a safari which overrated our expectations
5/5

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!
5/5

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.
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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.
