TOPGUIDES
EXPERIENCE

Co-founder and Director of TopGuides, Victor was trained by East Africa’s best and has over 14 years of experience as a tour leader and professional guide. His knowledge extends beyond wildlife to human psychology and behavior, and his extensive travels and time spent living in New York have attuned him to an array of cultures from around the world.

With his huge smile and Eddie Murphy laugh, he’s renowned for his great stories, his sense of fun and his exceptionally high standards. He leads luxury safaris and photographic expeditions in Kenya, Namibia, Botswana – and of course, his homeland, Tanzania, where he’s one of the country’s top requested guides, and whose national parks he knows like the back of his hand.

Together, we blend our passions for Tanzania, ecology, and the natural world with designing luxury spaces that give guests a sense of calm and tranquility — the ultimate combination for creating a boutique safari camp experience you will never forget

When you stay with us, you’ll know you’ve found the best-kep secret on the continent

Often, people come to Africa to check it off their bucket list. But here, we fully expect you to fall in love with the sounds of lions at night.. with the swaying of the leafy canopy above from your back-porch shower… with the unique experience of being safe and serene in the middle of some of the most exotic wildlife you will ever witness.

TOP ACTIVITIES AT TOPGUIDES

WALKING SAFARI

Not for nothing is this one of our guests’ favorite activities. A walk on the wild side is an invitation to slow down the pace of your safari, and take in the sounds, smells and minute details of the bush. Learn to see through the eyes of the creatures whose home this is, and discover a whole new world as your guide unveils the mysteries of the landscape.

In Tarangire, our proximity to Silale Swamp means we can walk right from camp to the wetland’s shores. This secluded spot boasts a resident pride of lions, not to mention the park’s famed abundance of elephants, meaning the opportunity to approach big game on foot is unparalleled.

Our guides are expertly trained, and their years of experience have honed their intuition and attunement to the environment. Their deep knowledge of the wildlife and its ways promises an exhilarating experience that will thrill you to the core, with no compromises on safety.

EXCLUSIVE BUSH
DRIVE

Indulging in a game drive that is yours and yours alone is a luxury we highly recommend. Your very own vehicle and guide means freedom to explore the wild on your own terms, and your own timetable. Linger at the sights you want to see, and stay out all day if you wish… the choice is yours.

NIGHT GAME
DRIVES

As the sun sets, the creatures of the night come out, and the wilderness you saw in daylight is completely transformed. Explore the nocturnal side of the bush with a spotlight and marvel at the wonders that take place when everyone else is asleep.

HOT AIR
BALLOON

Watching the sun rise from the basket of a hot air balloon is perhaps the most beautiful way you could start your day. Drift peacefully above the bush as it begins to glow gold and watch the wildlife greeting the dawn. Celebrate with a sumptuous breakfast as you come back down to earth.

BUSH
SUNDOWNERS

What better way to toast the setting sun than with an ice-cold cocktail hand, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild? Stopping for a bush sundowner is an idyllic end to an afternoon of exploring and adventuring, and to draw a beautiful day to its close.

BUSH
LUNCH

To encounter an elegantly set table in the middle of nowhere, and to enjoy an exquisite feast under the shade of a tree, is to redefine alfresco dining, TopGuides style. Enjoying your midday meal in the company of beautiful flora and fauna couldn’t be better.

BUSH
DINNER

Round off a day of adventure beneath a sky filled with stars and the soft glow of candlelight. Our team will enchant you with a sumptuous dinner in the bush where you’ll be serenaded by the sounds of the night. For a truly romantic safari experience, there’s nothing quite like it.
