Reviews
A truly unforgettable experience!
I recently went on a safari with Top Guides, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and ensured everything was taken care of. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife, which made each game drive exciting and informative. The accommodations were very comfortable and surrounded by nature, offering a perfect blend of luxury and adventure. I highly recommend Top Guides for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife in a memorable and personalized way.

Excellent Service, Amazing Safari
From the beginning of initial planning to our final departure from Tanzania, TopGuides service and communication was exemplary! They took care of everything and tailored the safari to us.
With photography as the major focus of our group, we were provided with excellent opportunities for wildlife encounters. Our guide, Juma, was excellent at finding the animals, positioning us for the shots, explaining animal behaviors and getting us to the right location with the best opportunities.
TopGuides picked a set of wonderful lodges and tented camps in Tanzania. The food, lodging and service were luxurious in each location.
I will not hesitate to use TopGuides again and I highly recommend them!

TopGuides exceeded my every expectation!
As photographers and videographers, we had very specific requirements we asked of TopGuides when planning our trip. Not only did they meet every requirement we set out, they exceeded it! Our guide, Juma, was knowledgable in photography and was not only able to find the animals and landscapes we were looking for - he knew exactly how and where to place the vehicle for the best lighting and view of the animals we were shooting. Each day was a new and exciting experience. Juma was a hard working, knowledgable guide who went above and beyond what we had expected in our photographic safari.
Each location offered exciting and new landscape and a variety of animals. All the camps we stayed at were 5 star and the food was amazing! Not only would I highly recommend TopGuides as your outfitter, I will be using them again on my next planned trip.

A Magical Trip!
Our trip with Topguides Safaris was amazing from start to finish! The team is incredibly well organized - each stop on our journey was scheduled perfectly with seamless transitions. The Topguides crew selected Camp locations with knowledge and consideration of our wishes. Each place was comfortable with great food and service. We had extremely knowledgeable guides (thank you, Ramy and Juma!) who shared invaluable information with us. We are still sharing our experiences with friends!

I wouldn't go with anyone else, these guys are the absolute best!
I have been on more than a dozen safaris, in Tanzania and South Africa. I would never go with anyone else. I am a control freak, and I turn over all my trip planning to Victor and Elena because they are really the tops! Accommodations are always comfortable with great food, every little detail is handled in advance, and most of all, their guides are THE most experienced. For a photographer this makes all the difference. Would you like to photograph a cheetah lying down, or one playing with its cubs? A lone elephant in the distance, or a whole herd coming right towards you? Will you see multiple leopards or will that remain a distant dream? I brought my husband along last year for the first time, and he loved it also! We stayed at a camp in Northern Serengeti that was THE most elegant luxurious caring place I have ever stayed. Don't miss this!

Exceptional service, beautiful camps, knowledgeable guides
We traveled as a group of ten, and our trip was meticulously planned, allowing us to relax without worrying about a thing. The camps we stayed in were beautiful and impeccably clean, and the staff was not only friendly but also attentive to our every need. Our guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, with fantastic sense of humor. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 safari experience!

Excellent guides, great camps and personalized service
I have used Topguides for 5 years now for trips in Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda (South Africa, Botswana and Namibia are up this summer). They always provide a fantastic safari experience, be it at their camps or elsewhere. I especially appreciate their personalized service and attention to detail, they want their clients to have an amazing experience that matches their interests and desires. Discovering Africa with local professional guides who love sharing their country and its wildlife with you makes for great memories!

Topguides Safaris provided exceptional service for my group.
Topguides Safaris provided exceptional service for my group. From initial contact and planning to booking , Topguides were a pleasure to work with. My group travelers were impressed with the quality of the camps, especially Lokisale. The knowledgeable guides/ drivers took time to make everyone's experience beyond expectations. As a traveler myself as well as a tour operator, I give Topguides the highest marks for professionalism and their ability to curate the quintessential Tanzania Safari Experience.

Top guide combines wildlife expertise with passion, ensuring unforgettable adventures!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a safari with Topguides Safaris Tanzania, and I must say, it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and genuine hospitality. Our guide was not only highly knowledgeable about the rich wildlife and diverse ecosystems but also passionate about sharing insights into the culture and traditions of the local communities.
The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, allowing us to explore some of Tanzania's most breathtaking landscapes, including Trangerie, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Each day was filled with thrilling game drives, and the guide expertise ensured that we had the best opportunities to witness incredible wildlife in their natural habitats.
Accommodations were superb, offering comfort and style without compromising on the authentic safari experience. The attention to detail in every aspect of the trip—from the delicious meals to the seamless logistics—made our adventure truly memorable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Topguides Safaris Tanzania to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience. Their commitment to excellence and passion for Tanzania's natural beauty truly set them apart in the industry.
Big thanks to Elena, Victor and Frank!

Easy to work with..there when we needed her!
I was traveling with my daughter to Johannesburg and was a bit nervous not being familiar with our surroundings,but we were cared for from start to finish and the days were filled with the exact activities we asked for. Great company!
