“Adam was remarkable from the first minute he greeted me at the airstrip until our final good-bye at the airport. He is an incredible man and guide. He truly loves what he does and wants to share his country, people and animals with you, for you to enjoy and understand their way of life. You won't be disappointed with your trip. First class company.”

“I am an amateur photographer and Adam's ability to anticipate, read and interpret a setting gave us great insights into the behavior and traits of the animals, and, thousands of great photos. He does not rely on the CB radios other safari companies are using to find animals. We saw ALL the animals including a short glimpse of a rare Black Rhino without the pressure from other Safari vehicles jockeying for a better view. He also prepared wonderful breakfast picnics for our early morning game drives as well as sumptuous lunch picnics under acacia trees.”

“Adam really worked hard to make sure our experience was perfect and that we saw as much as possible. His expertise on all aspects of the safari experience was truly impressive and we learned so much about the wildlife, plants, insects and environment. We asked a lot of questions and enjoyed quite a few interesting discussions about Tanzanian history and politics.”

“Our guide Adam whisked our group of 7 off to the bush visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti with each day seemingly more exciting than the last! Adam must be the best guide in the country-- I don't think we ever found a question Adam couldn't answer. He has eagle eyes and instinctively knew when something was going to happen before it did. We often waited while other jeeps left and were highly rewarded by, for example, cheetahs moving into a better view point or the progress of a hunt or witnessing the birth of a baby gazelle. Just awe inspiring. He went over the top for us making sure everything went smoothly at the lodges and during the drives. He was genteel and fun and was genuinely as hospitable and as warm as anyone could be. Overall a totally amazing experience I am now dreaming to repeat.”

“Being with Adam on this adventure was a stellar experience in every way. Something that really stood out for me was that Adam dined with us for most meals, (no guides from other safari companies do this), making our time with Adam an even more personal experience, as we were able to really get to know each other and learn about life in Tanzania.”

“Adam our game driver, guide, and now friend was simply the best. He was so knowledgeable and caring and kind and compassionate. He brilliantly seeks out and finds animals by instinct and knowledge. So many of the guides now radio each other when they find an animal. Adam does not do that nor does he need to. His instincts get us to the most amazing spots others have not found. We saw the big five and so much more. Adam met us at the airport. Toured us on our rest day for a few hours. Flew with us out to the far end of the bush and drove us back through game drive after game drive. This company is a well oiled, experienced machine with personal touch after personal touch. He dined with us and stayed with us. It was a great way to get to know him and him to know us. When we flew to our next adventure, we wanted Adam to come along!!”

“Now for the most magical part of the safari, and no, it wasn’t the thousands of zebras, countless lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more majestic animals, it was Adam, our tour guide, who truly made our trip the most incredible experience of our lives. I have to write a disclaimer because no matter what I say, I still don’t think I can do justice as to how much we loved Adam. My husband and I kept saying to each other in pure amazement how lucky we were to have Adam as our tour guide, and that he was for sure the best safari guide on any safari! Adam loves animals and nature with all his heart. He has been a safari guide for 20+ years, and yet, he still gets just as excited to spot an animal as we did. He has a special gift of being in tuned with animals and nature. From spotting a lion in a tree over 400 meters away, to a dung beetle below the car, Adam has a 6th sense for nature! He is patient and perceptive, which allowed us to see many rare sittings. Adam didn’t just teach us about the animals and the eco system, he captivated us by telling their stories. Adam went above and beyond to make sure that we were getting the most out of our experience, taking us on game drives from sunrise to sunset, finding the perfect lunch spot under a huge acacia tree, surrounded by zebras, or beside lions, he thought of every detail to make it perfect!”

Spending 8 days out on the safari with Adam was the greatest 30th birthday trips one could ask for. I never realized how truly captivated I was with wildlife until we hopped in the truck and hit the road. Personally, it was the combination of seeing the animals up close AND Adam’s extensive knowledge that took my love for nature to new heights. There really is a sort of peace and tranquility that overtakes you every time you venture out into the bush. The days pass by so seamlessly that by the end you’re wishing you could stay longer. Prior to the trip I had never met Adam, but after 8 short days he truly felt like family. When you arrive home, you’ll be amazed at how many awe-struck looks you’ll see on friends faces when you recount stories from your safari. You’ll be even more amazed at how much you learned. Every time I think about this trip, it brings a smile to my face. Without question, I’ll be back.

We took a (pretty last minute) boys trip to Tanzania to go on safari with Adam and Msafiri at Top Nature. These guys handle everything so we were able to kick back and enjoy this wonderfully curated 8-day journey through the savannah. We chose a variety of accommodations (staying at some cheaper options as well as one that was more expensive) and none of them disappointed. It had not really occurred to me before my trip that far and away the MOST important aspect of the safari is the guide behind the wheel of the Land Cruiser. This is where Adam sets his company apart from the rest. His highly acute understanding of the terrain and wildlife are THE crucial element of a really great safari and the backbone of the story he narrates over the course of the trip. Expert tracking skills combined with in-depth knowledge of animal behavior make for some unforgettable encounters that most visitors are simply not witnessing. If you’re looking for a real-life Planet Earth experience, this is it - Adam's guidance is on par with Attenborough. We're already looking forward to round two!

We just returned from an 11 day Tanzanian safari with Adam of Top Nature Safaris. From the moment he greeted us upon arrival at the airport until we departed, Adam provided 5 star personalized concierge service to ensure that we had the perfect safari experience. Each day was jam packed with adventure, nature conversations, cultural opportunities and incredible animal sightings. We saw the big five, the great migration, wildebeest calving, exotic birds, other African wildlife and so much more. Adam has 30 years of experience as a nature and safari guide. He and Msafiri were able to locate even the most elusive animals with ease. They made sure that we had the best vantage point for viewing and photographing. The animals and wildlife that we saw were majestic and awe inspiring. Adam is a walking encyclopedia of wildlife knowledge. We learned so much from him and enjoyed his commentary about the animals and African culture. During our Safari game drives, Adam provided delicious breakfasts and lunches in the most picturesque vistas. Bottled water, snacks, binoculars, charging ports, hand sanitizer, tissues and more were provided in the comfortable Land Cruiser vehicle with an open air top to maximize viewing. In the evenings, we enjoyed lovely, well equipped lodgings and tent camps. Each accommodation was outstanding and the dinners were delicious. All of the staff and Masai escorts were charming and friendly. Several of the lodges also had pools available for a refreshing dip after a day of game drives. The entire trip was luxurious, private, worry-free, safe and fun.It was truly the trip of a lifetime. We will never forget your beautiful country and your charming Tanzanian hospitality.

It is our great pleasure to recommend Adam Meshallu as a Safari guide and his company Top Nature Tanzania Safaris. We recently completed a 2 week safari and had a wonderful time! Adam was amazing with his knowledge of all the wildlife and was able to get us very close to all the Big 5 and many other animals as well. We stayed at 5 different lodges that Adam selected during the safari and each was unique . The hospitality of the hosts could not have been better! Adam made sure we always felt safe. We wholeheartedly recommend Adam and his company!

Adam, thank you for sharing Tanzania with our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the Safari through Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, NDUTU Woodlands and Serengeti NP. You are a very knowledgeable Guide with considerable experience and excellent hospitality. Not only were we able to spot Africa's BIG FIVE but we witnessed the great migration as part of our Safari. In addition, the accommodations were outstanding and won't be soon forgotten. It was also a thrill to meet the Maasai people....they are friendly, considerate, hospitable and very helpful.

This trip to Tanzania was my life-time dream and the experiences that you gave us were spiritual and unforgettable. The knowledge you and Msaferi have about all of the different animals we saw and your instincts for finding them was incredible. We could all tell how much you loved and revered the Land and the beautiful Wild Animals who inhabit it. Thank you for taking such good care of your homeland, respecting the animals and sharing it all with us. The accommodations you provided and wonderful staff were perfect and we enjoyed all of their unique features. Tarangire TreeTops and Serengit Tent Camp were the coolest lodging experiences I've ever had! Blessings to you and your future!

“Our guide Adam was a dream. From all our travel experience, we never had someone who was as passionate about the area, accommodating to our interests, and knowledgeable about the animal life and geography. He truly made our family trip special.”
