Amazing Safari
I join a 6days group tour offered by Topi Tours. We saw all of the big 5 at Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park. My guide Freddick help us to take good photos and told us the name of different birds, big cats, antelope etc. It is a amazing safari tour.

Topy knows its stuff and goes out of its way to achieve your objectives of your safari
An excellent company, Topy staff were professional, yet brought a family feel to our holiday. From seeing the spectacular migratory crossing of the Mara river, and the tragedy of beasts taken by the waiting predators, to the many animals and birds in various locations in northern Tanzania, the guide made it his mission to find specific animals on our “wish” list.
For good measure, we encountered a large “rogue” bull elephant who had decided the plants and trees in our Lodge were preferrable to those in the game park, and refuse to let us depart the Lodge until his appetite was satiated.
A memorial adventure, and I cant fault Toby in the routes taken, the accommodations chosen, the food served and the ever smiling and knowledgable guide, Wilson.
Cant recommend Topy enough.

Amazing experience and very kind and responsive staff.
We had a great experience on Topy Tours in the Serengeti, with our tour guide Filemon. File was very friendly and shared lots of interesting facts with us, and was happy to go for as short or as long a day as we liked. We had the most amazing time and really enjoyed it, it was super special! Topy Tours is Tanzanian owned, which we liked, rather than supporting foreign owned companies.

The best safari operator & guides
I researched hundreds of safari companies so you don’t have to. Just book with Topy Tours and you’ll have a top-notch safari experience! Everything was perfect for our 7 day tour. Communication was very easy with Jackson prior to and during our tour. Everything was made easy from inquiry to booking till the very end of our tour. It was very good value and a great price. All of the accommodations they booked were beautiful, clean, and better than I could have hoped for. The food was also very good which was important for us.
Our safari was a magical experience thanks to our wonderful guide, Ally Hasson. He’s a great driver and was an expert at spotting the animals and getting us the best views while also keeping us safe. He taught us a lot about the animals, Tanzanian culture and even some Swahili. You can tell that Ally is known and respected by many of the other guides in the park. Moreover, he’s a kind and wise person who you would be lucky to have as your guide to the park.
We were very pleased with our itinerary and wouldn’t have changed anything, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara over 6 days. We got very lucky and saw over 50 lions, 4 cheetahs, 4 leopards and even a black rhino during our safari. Even if we had been less lucky, I am confident I would still be very pleased with the experience I had with Topy Tours. I would absolutely recommend them.

Truly wonderful safari of Serengeti with Top Tours
We chose Topy Tours because we wanted local knowledge and expertise and to support the local economy, not an international tour corporation.
Jackson the owner was incredible-
firstly, he was extremely informed and an excellent communicator; secondly, we were able to shape our own, private Serengeti safari within our fairly tight budget gained great value for the price; thirdly, I changed my mind on our dates & itinerary a couple of times (😲) before finally booking and Jackson was incredibly patient and helpful 🙏
Ally our driver & guide was exceptional. He is super knowledgeable about the Serengeti, friendly, relaxed and open to whatever we wanted to do & wherever we wanted to go. We couldn't have asked for more.
Having been to the Kruger & Nambia we were expecting similar experiences. We had no real idea how completely unique and stunning the Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater were. We do now and will be returning to Tanzania as our favourite East African country & safari destination ❤️
We would highly recommend Topy Tours for all the reasons above and we will use them again!

EXCEPTIONAL
We took the 4-day/3-night budget option offered by Topy Tour.
We first spent the first night in a very good budget lodge. The other two nights were camping and everything went well too, but beware if you like comfort, camping there are not many! (It's adventure and it's an unforgettable experience)
The first night before the safari and the last night after the safari as well as the return journeys from the airport are included in the price. We were grouped with people from another agency to do the tour. We were 6 in the jeep and everything went very well! The guide was therefore from another agency than that of Topy tour.
JACKSON is the person from Topy tour that I contacted to book the safari. He is very available, very kind and answered all my questions (and there were some).
BENJAMIN was our guide for the entire safari. He is an extremely nice person, always in a very good mood, he did everything so that we could see as many animals as possible, he did not hesitate to make detours for us, to place himself so that we could see perfectly the animal, to sing, laugh, share! It really is a pearl and I did not expect to have such an exceptional guide! Thank you Benjamin, you're the best Babalao!
ERICK was our chef. He prepared excellent meals for us in very large quantities! I did not expect to eat so well and I was pleasantly surprised! He too, always in a good mood, he sang, danced and with Benjamin, they made a pair!
(Small message to the agencies: Keep Benjamin and Erick, they are great people who provide indescribable and unique experiences!)
So thank you to Topy tour, Benjamin, Erick and Jackson for this exceptional experience!

Incredible Safari Experience with a reliable tour operator.
I booked a 5 day 4 night budget safari with Topy Tours because the price was very competitive when compared to other operators. The value we got for our money was quite simply outstanding.
Jackson was reliable and responsive before and after I made my booking and throughout our safari. Always answering any questions I had promptly via email and WhatsApp. He delivered on everything that was promised.
We had an amazing experience seeing all of the big 5, and even witnessing a young lioness hunt and kill an Impala. A very special and lucky experience. Although probably not so much for the Impala.
We also saw 8 Rhino in the Ngorongoro crater in half a day. The wildlife we saw was quite simply breathtaking and beyond my wildest dreams of what a safari would be like.
Our guides were friendly and knowledgable especially Macha who always got our vehicle in prime positions. It was his expertise that got us to see the Lion hunt up close and personal.
The food provided was very good (Chef Simba was a brilliant cook at the campsites) and we even had a can of beer with lunch and a bottle of surprisingly decent wine with dinner. All included in the price.
The lodge accomodation provided for 2 nights of our trip was what you would expect for a budget safari, but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We were also very well fed at breakfast and dinner at the lodge. I loved camping under the stars in the Serengeti and on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater. An experience I will never forget.
Our safari also included transfers from the airport and 1 nights accomodation before our safari started and 1 nights accomodation after the safari ended and a transfer to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar.
In summary I can highly recommend Topy Tours. Reliable, organised and friendly.

Very professional and honest , best service .
Very attentive , experienced and we managed to spot the right place right timing for the migration.
Great for Solo Female Travelers
I booked through another safari agency that coordinated for me to connect with a tour from this company. Let me tell you that my guide, Godfry, made this trip. He kept us on schedule, answered all our questions, and seemed to have superpowers of knowing where to find all the animals. He was an incredible driver and often positioned the jeep to get the best view. We saw the big 5! Our cook Dennis was divine. The meals were so good! I'd highly recommend requesting both for a future tour!
