We cant wait to retuen for another trip
We did a 9-day luxury safari and it completely exceeded our expectations. Thanks to our outstanding guide, Mushi, we saw the Big Five and so much more. He worked tirelessly to find wildlife and delivered sighting after sighting.
Staying at Ikoma and Serengeti Wild Camps was unforgettable, with wildlife all around and lions incredibly close by. Highview Hotel in Karatu was the perfect place to relax between adventures.
Mushi also made our visits to the Maasai village and the Hadzabe bushmen truly special. Cycling from Karatu to Mto wa Mbu was a blast and gave us a beautiful glimpse of local life and scenery.
This is a trip we’ll remember forever. We can’t wait to return for another migration scene and when we do, we will definitely go with Zara

Unforgettable amazing experience
We had a great experience with Nkollo on our private 5 days/ 4nights safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
Upon our enquiry, Allan gave us a detailed description, replied quick to our questions and was very flexible, taking our requests into consideration and adjusting the itinerary and accommodations to our needs. It felt really good to have someone trust worthy to communicate with.
Our guide, Vincent, is very experienced, gave us important information about the animals and the upcoming stages of our trip. He was in contact with other guides to find out where something interesting happened and took us to the spots when it was not too crowded, placing the car always in the best position for taking fotos, while also keeping a restpectful distance to the animals and trying not to disturb them. He gave us time to take the fotos we wanted and to observe the animals without rushing from one place to another.
I warmly recommend Nkollo for a personalized trip and a great safari experience.

Very good experience
With my boyfriend, we went on a two-day safari with Israel! We first visited Tarangire National Park, where we saw many elephants. In the evening, we stayed at a lovely hotel and enjoyed a great meal.
The next day, we went to the Ngorongoro Crater, which was absolutely impressive. Throughout the entire experience, we were accompanied by Israel, our guide, and a driver, and we truly appreciated their friendliness and the knowledge they shared with us. We had a wonderful time.

The entire trip was outstanding
Juma was an exceptional guide who truly made our safari unforgettable. His warm, welcoming nature immediately set the tone for the trip and made every day a pleasure. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, and thanks to his sharp eye and experience, we were fortunate to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other animals. As a bird lover, I was especially fascinated by the incredible variety of birdlife he pointed out and explained in detail, which added an extra layer of excitement to each game drive.
The game drives in the Serengeti were the highlight of the journey, as we spent the most time exploring this vast and iconic park. Being able to fully immerse ourselves in its landscapes and wildlife made the experience even more rewarding. Overall, the entire trip was outstanding, and much of that is owed to Juma’s expertise, passion, and genuine care for making sure we had an amazing experience.

A phenomenal tour operator with an outstanding guide who truly cares about the experience.
I chose Top Selected Tours after reaching out to six different companies, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. We did a four day safari to Ndutu to see the Great Migration, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we were picked up, we felt completely at ease with our guide, Jackson. He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every part of the experience. By the end of the trip, it genuinely felt like we were saying goodbye to a good friend.
The Land Cruiser was in excellent condition and very comfortable, with a pop up roof for optimal wildlife viewing. Jackson consistently found the best locations and positioned the vehicle perfectly so we could get clear, close views of the animals. We were lucky enough to see an abundance of lions, along with cheetahs, a leopard, elephants, hippos, giraffes, and much more. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
We were also extremely happy with the accommodations. From the tented camp in Ndutu, complete with a flushing toilet, hot shower, queen size bed, and desk, surrounded by zebras and gazelles walking through the camp, to Eileen’s Tree Lodge with its beautiful grounds and pool, everything was top notch. The food throughout the trip was consistently excellent.
This safari was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend Top Selected Tours to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania. It’s also worth noting that they are Tanzanian owned, so you’re directly supporting local businesses. Five stars, without question. And if you go, ask for Jackson, you won’t regret it.

Brilliant Ben successfully listened to all we wanted and enhanced the experience beyond expectation!
Starting with finding the right package, Jackson was so quick to respond and helpful. Arriving at the Airport, Andrew was such a cheerful sight to welcome us and get us safely to our hotel. THEN the piece de resistance (crowning glory) was our safari guide Ben. He was so cheerful, knowledgeable and most importantly he listened to what WE wanted from the safari. He worked so hard and made such an effort to deliver what we asked and MORE! Accommodations were all very good and what we expected. The vehicle was well kept and perfect for the Tanzanian “massage” roads. All the viewings were so exceptional, from the birds, our focus, to the magnificent beobabs, fabulous wildebeasts with zebras, to the magnificent large cats. We saw it all and not just in the distance but up close and personal. Our first day walking safari in Arusha led by Michael was most informative and thrilling to be walking amongst the buffalo, giraffes and viewing the waterfall. Thank you all at Topy you really did make our dreams a reality.
HIGHLY APPRECIATED AND RECOMMENDED. Hakuna Matata.

Making sure it all works out!
I would always pick Kajie Safaris again for a tour through Uganda. The response and organisation of my trip was super easy and the team was very flexible on making sure I get all I was looking for during my 7 days in Uganda. Thanks to Ronald and Josephine for helping me out with all my requests. Needless to say that all the accommodations were top notch, from the Bweza Gorilla Lodge, Aakvard Safari Lodge, Chimp Nest - I loved them all and I was always sad to check-out after 1-2 nights only.
The biggest shout out and thanks go out to my on site guide Casmir aka Herbert who was not only my guide and driver but also my babysitter, 24/7-entertainer and car-pool-karaoke-buddy becoming more of a partner in crime (metaphorically speaking of course) during these past 7 days. Making sure we were always safe on the road, never missing on one of the scenic routs instead of the main-road, finding the best coffee places with a view and making this week of looking for wild-life and being in nature into one of the best weeks in my life. Travelling solo is not always easy, but with a guide like him there was no single moment to be worried or to be bored - time was flying way to quick, even during the long hours of driving/roadtripping across the country - he was really the best company I could have asked for. (althought he did not let me win at pool. ;-))
Thank you - it would not have been the same without you. ♡

Absolutely superb service!
Susan was recommended to us by a friend of a friend, and I am *so* grateful she was! We were planning a trip to South Africa, and were overwhelmed by choices and really unsure how to choose between them. Susan gave us excellent advice and made some superb recommendations, from which we picked Umlani Bush Camp from the Timbavati reserve. Susan took care of all the arrangements, and sent us a super useful itinerary and travel guide, which we relied upon heavily throughout our South African adventure. She also helped us find a hotel in Johannesburg and gave us really good advice about building our itinerary there.
We had the most magical four nights at Umlani. It was everything Susan had said, and more. And she was available on email and WhatsApp throughout the period leading up to our stay and during it. We were confident that we were well informed, well supported and enthusiastically cared for. Susan helped us build a really special holiday, the memories of which will last a lifetime.
I would not hesitate to recommend Susan to anyone wanting to book a safari - or indeed any element of a holiday in South Africa. Pembury Tours are excellent value for money, superb communicators and deliver all they promise.
