Amazing! Every penny well spent on this provider, always cared for and left extremely happy!
The tour review: we got very lucky with our driver Jose, he was simply amazing. The kindest and most knowledgeable man we met on this entire trip. For the whole 5 days of driving us around and taking us into the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha, he was always smiling, always showing us new things and he knew a lot about the history, animals, tips and tricks and he was funny! The tour was very well organised, from our tented accommodation to our two hotel stays, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, we were taken care of start to finish. Jose is very very experienced and on the game drives he knew exactly where we were in the park at all times, he was always in communication with other drivers and where they spotted animals, and he was also very clever in his ability to predict where animals will be in the 10 minutes based off their behaviour, which allowed us to see all of the Big 5, spot black rhinos and even the very very rare leopard within a few meters of the vehicle. We watched a cheetah hunt down prey, and I was able to take the most magnificent pictures. If I could rate this tour more than 5 stars I would. Also speaking to other tour groups and tourists, we had paid less than everyone, had more benefits like a boat ride in Naivasha paid for, and we were blessed with the luck of seeing animals lots of people missed out on (this partly testament to Jose’s expertise!)
Extras: We got picked up from the airport and dropped off at the airport at no extra cost. At every stage, I could reach out via WhatsApp and someone replied very usefully. Everyone speaks great English, everyone was SO friendly and accommodating, loved Kenya so much!

Great Experience
Had a great safari trip with The Kruger Safari Co.
Pick up from the airport was smooth & the drive was also good with enough breaks (so no worries about the 5h trip)
Accommodation was alright.
Safari’s itself were amazing. I had 2 Full day safari & 1 Sunset Safari. During one safari i was able to see All Big 5 in one day.
Guides were knowledgeable without talking too much 😃. But whenever you had a question they were always helpful.

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.

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.

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.

Everything was great!
We had four fantastic days! We stayed at some really great places. And we saw so many beautiful things on the safaris. Our guide, Gilbert, was super friendly and knew how to take us to the right spots.

Excellent communication! Well run.
Excellent quick communications! Super fast to respond to emails. Ronald, Justine, and Maxine all responded to my emails very quickly, which when talking with other people is not always the case.
Initially started as a solo trip and picked up 2 people as the trip neared. Added two people no problem and they were even able to secure a Golden Monkey permit after they were sold out when my cousin decided to join us 12 nights away from the trip. They worked very hard to make the safari what we wanted.
In the planning I changed the itinerary to exactly what I wanted and they do it with no hesitation.
We a did a quick 5 night safari as didn’t have a ton of time off. Safari was well run, and they clearly have experience doing this before. Benjamin, our guide, really worked hard to help me get the pictures I wanted. The lodges were all very nice and have no complaints there. I would recommend them with no problem.
Really a great trip overall.

Amazing!
Contact with the organization was fantastic! Easy and quick to reach via the app. They listened to our wishes but also offered tips based on their experience to make adjustments. Credit card payments were also handled smoothly. Our guide, Gilbert, was truly fantastic! With passion and respect for the animals and the environment, he drove us around for four days. He's a fantastic guide who knows the area incredibly well. While some jeeps got stuck in the mud (in the Serengeti), Gilbert knew exactly how his jeep worked! Everything else was perfectly organized, from accommodation to all meals. We will never forget this trip and our guide. I recommend this organization and guide 100%!
