Tour step
You'll be collected from the airport. Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Day 1
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at JRO or ARK airport, our guide will transfer you to your Arusha at Tulia or a similar luxury hotel. If you're ready to explore, join an optional city tour featuring: Local Market: A vibrant hub of spices and fresh produce. Maasai Market: The best spot for handcrafted jewellery and authentic souvenirs. Cultural Heritage Centre: A stunning gallery of African art and history. Finish the day with dinner at your lodge as you prepare for tomorrow’s safari. Mid-range hotel located in Arusha (City) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 2
After breakfast, the tour will depart for Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, you'll descend into the heart of wild Africa —the Serengeti National Park —with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Then, you'll head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 3
After breakfast, you will have a full-day game drive in the park where you expect to see lots of animals. Serengeti`s name comes from the Maasai language meaning endless plain. Therefore is home to many animals including lions, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, zebra, leopards, cheetahs, warthogs, hyenas plus lots and lots of birdlife. In many cases, migration is taking place around Serengeti and at that particular time millions of wildebeest and zebras are mingling together followed by predators. Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 4
After breakfast, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater, considered by some to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you get your first glimpse of this vast, verdant caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you'll soon understand why it has earned such a lofty reputation. Home to over 120 species of mammal, including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as a place to see large numbers of hippopotamuses enjoying the cool water. Mid-range lodge located 1-2hr drive from Ngorongoro Crater Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 5
After breakfast, you'll drive to Tarangire National Park with picnic lunches for a day of game drive. This park is located 120km southwest of Arusha. In this astonishing park, expect to see substantial herds of elephants gathering alongside the Tarangire River along with many other species of animals e.g. wildebeest, lions, buffaloes, zebras, and prolific birds. In the evening, you will drive back to Arusha. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

5.0/5Our 7-day safari with John as our guide was absolutely phenomenal and exceeded all expectations. His expertise in tracking wildlife was incredible – thanks to him, we witnessed the breathtaking Great Migration calving, a pride of lions on a hunt, and even a rare black rhino in Ngorongoro Crater. Beyond his professional skills, John’s patience, warm personality, and genuine passion for Tanzania’s ecosystem made the journey deeply enriching. He was not just a guide, but a wonderful companion who ensured our safety, comfort, and that every question was answered with a smile. I would recommend John and Top Selected Tours to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, John, for making our Tanzanian adventure truly unforgettable!

Go with John. He was very experienced, thoughtful and kind. But mostly I just felt relaxed and safe with him. He always seemed to know exactly what he was doing. His eye for locating all kinds of animals was incredible. He was flexible and also pushed us a little in the right ways and at the right times. You will not regret going with Top Selected Tours, and with John especially. Trust me. This was our first safari and he made my wife and I feel very comfortable and taken care of.
Michael Mohr · Spain
Easy booking process, always on time and very friendly approach and profesional at the same time. We had to changeout dates and they were very helpful. Trust them, they know what they are doing. We had the best guide ever, Jackson Kitesho, and we got the Big 5 among all wild life. He told us about animal behaviour, migration, claves, Masai culture, everything! And we enjoyed his company. The food provided was amazing, and he was always taking care of ours needs. I highly recommend Top Selected Tours, they are the best, and it was a pleasure to book with them.

We truly cannot say enough good things about our 4-day safari with John and Top Select. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and professional, which immediately put us at ease. Once the trip started, John took exceptional care of us. He was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and determined to make sure we experienced everything we hoped for — and more. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other unforgettable wildlife moments that we never could have planned on our own. Every accommodation along the way was excellent, with comfortable stays, great food, and warm, welcoming staff. The entire trip was seamless and stress-free — we didn’t encounter a single problem. Everything was handled professionally from start to finish, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience. What truly set this safari apart, though, was John himself. He is knowledgeable, calm, and an absolute pleasure to travel with. His easygoing, genuine hakuna matata attitude made long days on the road feel effortless and fun, and his passion for what he does really shows. On top of all of this, the safari was very reasonably priced for the level of care, experience, and quality we received. The value was outstanding. If you are considering a safari, do yourself a favor and book with Top Select and John. You will be in excellent hands, and you will come away with memories you’ll carry for the rest of your life
