Great daytrip to Tarangire National Park
On Friday 10th of October I booked an impulse daytrip from Mto wa Mbu to Tarangire National Park which is about 110 kilometers. On Sunday morning 12th half past seven the fourwheeldrive with guide Edward on the wheel was ready to pick us up from our lodge. I invited two young people from Mto to come with me to the park. Edward was very friendly and he explained a lot to the youngsters in Kiswahili and to me in English. His timeing was very good, we were at the picknick before everybody was there and we left when it became very busy. Young Baraka was very happy that he could sit in the frontseat, with Edward taking really good care of him. Car was fine and we had no problems. All in all we had a beautiful day with a lot of sightings.

Great tour and great service
We selected Serengeti Smile because it was very fast in making all the different quotes we asked to decide what to do in our safari. Jeremiah was always very helpful and responsive, also when we had questions after the booking (like with the online Visa request). He also helped us organize a orphanage visit in Arusha.
The lodges and camp site selected were all great.
Our tour guide John was a great driver and explained us everything when we had question.

Attentive and organized.
A huge thank you to Susan from the travel agency for organizing such a smooth and unforgettable trip to Africa! Everything was perfectly planned from the accommodations to the safari routes making it a truly stress-free experience for us.
A special thanks to our amazing guide, David, who made this adventure extra special. His knowledge, patience, and passion for wildlife brought every moment to life. We were lucky enough to witness the Great Migration, spot the Big 5, and see countless other animals up close. David even took us all the way to the Tanzania border, sharing fascinating facts about the regions along the way.
One of the most memorable experiences was when he showed us how to boil eggs in a natural hot spring, such a fun and unique moment we’ll never forget! Every day with David felt like an adventure filled with wonder and learning.
For anyone visiting, make sure to visit Hells gate as well.
Thank you again to Susan and David for making our dream safari come true. We’re already planning our next visit in 2027!

Very good
I booked my safari two days in advance, and the staff promptly arranged a seat for me. They even picked me up at the Arusha airport and took me to my hotel. On the day the tour ended, they even walked me to the bus station, ensuring smooth for my next trip. The entire safari was excellent. The driver was attentive, focused on driving and spotting wildlife, frequently communicating with his colleagues via walkie-talkie about animal activity and providing us with basic information about the animals. They also provided excellent food and accommodation.

Seamless experience! Friendly guides
Booked my tour via GetYourGuide and the whole booking experience was very easy. Thomas was in touch the day before to ensure all was ok and let me know when he would be collecting me. He was informative and very professional. The safari tour in Pilanesberg was also great. Thabo was our guide and he was very knowledgeable but not overbearing. We were lucky enough to see a leopard and an incredible sighting of a big herd of elephants too. Would highly recommend

Efficient, up to the task, goes over and beyond, caring and professional at the same time
Catherine communicated with us clearly and was more than helpful throughout the whole process, to finally settling on the hotel and making payments, everything was transparent and smooth. Alistar is reliable, and you do get value for money.

Professional Company - Knowledgeable and Patient Guide
What a first safari experience! Wow!
Communication started great, Mr. Edward replied promptly. There was a small issue but was resolved, which we appreciated.
The value for money is great, with competitive prices.
We booked a private tour so my husband can take photographs with his big lens. It was worth it, he ended up taking amazing photos! Our guide Abdulli was very knowlegeable and patient as we stopped to take photos.
He also went the extra mile (literally) to show us the lions!
We truly recommend this operator ❤️

Incredibly professional, personable, and knowledgeable
My best friend and I booked a private safari and we have had the most amazing experience with Top Selected Tours and with John. We saw ALL of the big 5 thanks to him!!! At John’s recommendation, we changed our original itinerary of Northern Serengeti to stay within the central Serengeti instead, as earlier than expected rains meant animals had already started moving south again. Day 1 and we saw 4 of the Big 5 (lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo) plus some amazing giant birds (secretary birds, vultures, ostriches) as well as giraffes, warthogs, jackals, hippos…. and a whole family of cheetahs!!! Plus more animals that I can’t even list… And we saw an incredible total of THIRTY ONE (31!) LIONS on our safari!!! And a lion hunt!!! Can’t thank John enough for his professionalism and insight, he always knew where to be to see the animals and where to position the car to have a front row view while staying incredibly respectful of the wildlife. You can tell he has a real passion for his work, for the wildlife, and for the Serengeti. We felt incredibly safe and cared for as two young women traveling. I would never want to safari with anyone else.

5 day (Tarengire + Serengeti) safari experience is cool.
Migo African Safaris team welcomed us very warmly. When we arrived They were already ready to receive us.
We luckily got chance for 5 day safari in Tanzania. We explored the famous Serengeti National Park and Tarengire National Park. We started our safari at Tarengire and it was stolen in our heart. We see huge elephants. Our guide was superb & joked that Tarangire’s elephants were philosophers because they moved so calmly. Lastly in Serengeti, awesome views. We had seen many animals. We waited nearly an hour before a family of lions finally appeared near a waterhole. It was worth every minute. It was our first and dream safari. Appreciate Migo African.
