Amazing Safari
Easy booking process, always on time and very friendly approach and profesional at the same time. We had to changeout dates and they were very helpful. Trust them, they know what they are doing. We had the best guide ever, Jackson Kitesho, and we got the Big 5 among all wild life. He told us about animal behaviour, migration, claves, Masai culture, everything! And we enjoyed his company. The food provided was amazing, and he was always taking care of ours needs. I highly recommend Top Selected Tours, they are the best, and it was a pleasure to book with them.

Brilliant
We did a 5 day mid range safari. Communication was pretty good throughout and we had a great time visiting Taranguire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw so many elephants, lions, zebra,wildebeest, as well as leopard, cerval cat and different eagles.
Our driver and guide,Machete, was incredible at spotting animals, giving us information and taking care of us- a big thank you Machete!
The food and accommodation provided was very good, freshly prepared and very comfortable.
At every lodge the Tanzanian people were incredible- happy, polite , welcoming and they couldn’t do enough for us- we shall have to come back!
The only slight negative is that we didn’t have a constant group staying at the same accommodation as us. I guess people had booked different packages and the team were trying to make it all work logistically but it meant that we spent some time driving around picking people up and dropping them off. However, this meant we met lots of great people!
It was a brilliant experience for us and one we will treasure for ever.
Asante sana.

Great communication, trust and reliable
Me and my wife had an outstanding honeymoon Safari with Zanzi African Safaris! We did 11 days tour with start at Nairobi (Kenya) and we finished in Arusha (Tanzania). We visited 6 national park (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro).
Lydia from office was very good with communication since the start, that's why we decided to go through Zanzi Safaris and we can't regret. I've been little unsure about payment at the start, because you should pay whole Safaris in front (after we did Safaris in 4 countries I see it's normal for every Safaris company, but you need to make sure you choose wisely, if it's not scam).
I can guarantee Zanzi is reliable tour company with decent prices and perfect service!
Our tour guide Benson was outstanding!!! I would give him 5* stars anytime (he can find rounds where noone was, find rhinos, leopards, lions, cheetahs, have contacts with other tour guides, worked on phone, find perfect angles for photos, just try to get us something special), I can't recommend him more!

Very good safari road trip !
Great value for money.
The organization by Kilipath was perfect: they were available, responsive, and everything ran on schedule. The team is extremely motivated.
The jeep was spacious and comfortable, with power outlets to charge phones (although they didn’t always work). Our guide, David, was an excellent driver and did everything he could to make sure we were satisfied. He was very friendly and always in a great mood.
The choice of lodges was excellent: spacious and luxurious. Lunches were very well organized, especially when eaten out in the middle of nature.
However, we do not recommend the tent camp if you are looking for a minimum level of comfort (toilets, electricity). It also lacked atmosphere, even though there were many guests. Some light entertainment or welcome activity from our arrival around 4 p.m. until the evening would have been appreciated.
Small bonus (or a big one in our opinion!): Kilipath gifted us a wonderful T-shirt!

Very well organised
We did a 3-day safari in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were a group of 6 people. Our jeep was very comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed.
Our safari was really worth it about the money we gave for the lodges we stayed.
We had a truly excellent driver, Godfrey and we felt safe throughout the safari despite the challenging roads. We managed to see all the animals.
Our driver, Godfrey, explained many things to us about the animals as well as lots of additional information.
Special thanks to Wilfred, who helped me from the very first moment we got in touch via WhatsApp and made it possible for me to experience the safari exactly the way I wanted!

Absolutely amazing
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro has been a long-time dream for my sister and me, and reaching the summit together was an unforgettable moment. It was a huge challenge, but we were so happy when we finally stood on top. We truly couldn’t have done it without the amazing team supporting us every step of the way.
Our main guide, Ombeni, was outstanding. He was highly professional and always brought a great sense of humor that kept spirits high. When things got tough, especially on summit night, he knew exactly how to motivate us and push us forward in the best and safest way possible.
Peniel, our assisting guide, was so kind and caring throughout the entire journey. He made sure we arrived safely at every camp and always checked in on us. His support was absolutely invaluable, and his constant good mood made it so much better.
A huge thank you to the chef, who managed to prepare delicious and nourishing meals despite the altitude, and to the waiter, whose service was incredible!
And finally, our deepest appreciation goes to the porters. They are truly the ones who made this experience possible. Arriving at camp to their smiles and positive energy gave us an incredible boost every single day. Their hard work, strength, and enthusiasm cannot be praised enough.
Our biggest and warmest recommendation to Almighty Kilimanjaro. And especially to this team. We will never forget the experience and you all!

Our one-week safari was even better than expected
Our seven day safari was the highlight of our stay in Kenya. Everything was well organised and convenient. Our guide Julius was great, friendly and funny, he also knows a lot about the animals, we loved learning from him. The accommodation were very comfortable and food was fine. We were never bored, we had plenty of programs and we saw so many animals and beautiful landscapes that we will never forget our time in Kenya.

A tour that I would recommend😊
This is a great journey worth taking at least once a life time … so special, specific, also enjoyable! Yes a bit tough especially requires good health and physical capabilities… but once you adapt to it you would love to stay there for longer periods! So many different experiences that you might not be seeing anywhere else, cultures, peoples and animals, when you not only seeing them face to face but also talk to them or even hand in hand …
As a whole, lovely places, lovely peoples and lovely cultures. No regrets! 😊

Professional, reliable looking forward to go again with Simba Paka Safaris
We booked a private safari with Simba Paka Safaris for the second time—this year to Amboseli and last year to the Masai Mara. We returned because our first experience was excellent, and once again the team fully lived up to our expectations.
The communication regarding the booking and quotation process was again smooth and efficient. The vehicles and equipment provided by the company are in great condition, and our driver and guide, Francis, made the experience truly unforgettable. He went above and beyond to help us spot the Big Five, and thanks to his dedication, we managed to see all of them this time. We only needed to add a day trip to Nairobi National Park to find the rhino.
All in all, it was another fantastic experience. We are already looking forward to our next adventure with Simba Paka Safaris.
