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.

Adalbert is very friendly and helpful with the reservation process. Our guide, John, was super! He drives very safely and has a wonderful, friendly personality. Highly recommended!
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!

6 day safari
Did a 6 day (5 night) safari with Jackson from Top Selected tours. We have travelled from New Zealand so this was a once in a lifetime trip, Jacksons experience and animal knowledge definitely fulfilled our expectations and more. Everything from the car to accommodation was outstanding.

Passionate, friendly, knowledgable and made the trip unforgettable.
We have just completed our honeymoon safari with Jackson from Top Selected Tours, and it was beyond amazing! From the moment we met him, he made our trip so special. Everything ran completely on time and was worth every penny. Jackson knows the Serengeti like the back of his hand, and his knowledge of the wildlife, Tanzania, and conservation is incredible. More than that, his genuine kindness, care, and passion for what he does truly set him apart.
I honestly don’t think we would have had the same experience without him. He somehow managed to find us five leopards, eleven cheetahs, countless lions, giraffes, zebras, and so much more, always positioning the vehicle perfectly to give us the best possible views and photos!
Thank you, Jackson, for making our honeymoon so incredibly special. We will never forget this experience, and the memories you’ve helped us create will stay with us forever.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking, and if you’re lucky enough to have Jackson as your guide, you’re in for the trip of a lifetime!

An absolutely perfect safari from start to finish!
We booked an 8-day private safari in northern Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) with Top Selected Tours and couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The booking process with Adabert was outstanding: fast and clear communication at every step, total transparency, and genuine care for every detail. When a small change to one accommodation was needed, he spotted it himself, told us immediately and found a great alternative that matched exactly what we had asked for. Every hotel and tented camp was perfectly in line with our expectations, and all payments and logistics went smoothly.
Our guide Ruben made the safari itself unforgettable. Incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, always knowing where to be and when, patient, kind and great company throughout. Thanks to him we had amazing sightings every single day and felt in great hands from the very first moment.
The safari itself exceeded every expectation: the baobabs and huge elephant herds of Tarangire, the endless plains of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater teeming with wildlife, and the lush greenery of Lake Manyara as a perfect final day. Landscapes and encounters we will never forget.
Everyone we dealt with was helpful and welcoming. We would recommend Top Selected Tours without hesitation, and we hope to be back in Tanzania one day!
