Caring and enthusiastic
Lamby was our guide. One day for Kruger safari and one day for paranoma view. He is a very excited guide to bring us to see the animals in the safari. He made sure we got a good view and different angles. He has also a very cheerful attitude !

Top Selected Tours is caring, reliable, and made our Tanzanian adventure truly unforgettable.
We had the most extraordinary trip with Top Selected Tours and can’t recommend them highly enough. Everything was smooth, thoughtful, and exceptionally well organized — and we felt completely taken care of from start to finish and at super reasonable prices. Communication was perfect throughout, and the team went above and beyond in every possible way.
Jackson, the owner, was incredible. He personally met us at the airport when we arrived and again at the end of our trip to check in and hear how everything went — such a thoughtful and personal touch. When we ran into unexpected flight issues and ended up delayed and needing to depart from a different airport, Jackson didn’t hesitate to step in. Even though our tour had officially ended, he arranged for Emmanuel to drive us early the next morning — another example of how they truly look after their guests until the very end.
Our guide and driver John was a joy to travel with — professional, kind, knowledgeable, and great company. We felt safe and well cared for the whole time, and genuinely enjoyed getting to know him. He went above and beyond for us, taking us to some really cool places we wouldn't have found on our own. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
The entire trip was based in the Lake Natron area, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Adebayo, our Maasai guide, gave us an unforgettable experience — hiking through waterfalls, exploring the site of the oldest human footprints, and spotting wildlife like flamingos, giraffes, and zebras, all surrounded by stunning landscapes. His insight and warmth made every part of it special.
We honestly can’t say enough good things about this company and the people behind it. As two women traveling alone in a remote part of Tanzania, we felt incredibly safe, supported, and cared for the entire time thanks to this team. They turned our trip into something truly memorable, and we’re so grateful to Jackson, John, Adebayo, and Emmanuel for everything they did to make it such a standout experience.

"Our 4-day amazing tour to Masai Mara. Specially Thanks Clevers"
Masai Mara is definitely at the top of the list of the most famous destinations in the world for its natural beauty and wildlife. My family and I had a truly striking 4-day tour there with Namnyak Tours and Safaris. It was an extraordinary journey, where we entered the depths of nature and enjoyed some moments that will be remembered forever. As soon as we reached Masai Mara, we felt like we had entered another world. The green grass on both sides of the road, the birds flying, and the vast sky everything was absolutely miraculous. We were welcomed with a strange warmth at the local Masai village, which made our entire trip even more memorable. From the first day to the last, we got to know the wildlife very closely. The huge body of the lion, the movement of the elephant, the gentle steps of the giraffe we felt like we were in a huge canvas, seeing the kingdom of nature up close. During the safari trip, we got to touch every animal even the small creatures caught in spider webs that were a bit strange, but became a reflection of life. In addition, spending time with the local Maasai was an invaluable experience for us. Hearing about their traditions, culture, and natural wisdom gave us a deeper respect for the earth and nature. Seeing their way of life, we gained a new perspective on how it is possible to live in harmony with nature. This 4-day trip, which was not just a trip but an important life lesson, brought our family closer together and taught us to connect with nature. The Masai Mara will hold a special place in our hearts.

Professional services
We booked our 5-day safari adventure with Mafie Adventures few months in advance. We started in Tarangire, then Lake Manyara, 2 days in Serengeti and we ended up in Ngorongoro national park. Since we arrived in Arusha airport until they dropped us off back at the airport we felt treated very respectfully by professionals who know what they do. Our guide, Samwel, made sure we do not miss anything during our adventure and we hit the Big 5 making tons of memories for a life time. We remain with such nice photos than even National Geographic would envy us. Big Thank you! as well to the ladies in the back office who arranged everything so we don’t miss anything. The accomodations during our trip were great, we found a state-of-art vegetable garden at “Heart & Soul” Lodge (close to Manyara Lake) from where they were preparing the meals for their guests. When we will come back, definitely we will call again Mafie Adventures for more fun. Keep doing what you do! We felt fantastic!

Super helpful and professional with great local insights.
From the support around where and when to travel, through to the booking itself, preparation travel preparation and managing communication whilst on the trip - the communication, organisation and professionalism was superb. Everything ran like clockwork across numerous transfers, internal flights and accommodation bookings. Thank you in particular to Susan for all her support!

The tour was great, such an amazing experience. Very well organized, good acommodations; best was the Heart and Soul Lodge near Lake Manyara. The food was very tasty, everyday. The picnic lunch provided was always very complete and tasty as well. Our guide, Samwel, was super knowledgeable, very kind and very well organized. He found all the animals and the best picture spots, he was very well connected with the other guides as well, which helped us find animals easier and faster. Overall, very good experience, super nice and fun guide. Thanks Samwel and Mafie adventures for an incredible safari experience!

Carefree travelling
I travelled to Hell's Gate - lake Navaisha and National Park, Shelderick and Giraffe centre.
During the excursions we had an amazing driver Emanuel who arranged everything for us, starting from the pick up until the drop off at home. We had a beautiful trip, saw so many things and didn't have to think about anythings all day. Especially the trip to Hell's Gate was an extraordinary experience for me.
Recommend 10/10 for a carefree excursion for a reasonable price!
