Very thoughtful and caring Safari company
Our tour was overall a good experience. Topy Tours and Jackson were very attentive and quickly replied to any questions or concerns we might have. Our guide Matcha was very knowledgeable and experienced and our guide Ben was a blast to go on safari with and a very passionate naturalist. Our accommodations and food were great and we enjoyed our nights camping the most. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn’t an issue with Topy Tours or the service, it was more that we’ve never been on a group safari the switches guests around several times and we didn’t know all the parks in Tanzania only allow operators to run safaris from 6 am to 6 pm, so we felt like we missed out on morning and evening safaris, which is the best time for viewing wildlife.

Nice tour, although subject to last minute changes in schedule
The tour was great, I loved the experience! Anwar was an amazing tour guide (not employed by Topy Tours). I was however a bit dissapointed with the last minute changes in schedule. I had booked a tour including 2 nights camping and 2 nights in a hotel and was going to visit 4 National Parks. In the end, we camped for 3 nights, 1 night in a hotel and visited only 3 National Parks, and paid the same amount. I wish they had been more transparent about this from the beginning.

Posted on Oct 2, 2022Hello Daniela,
First and foremost thanks for giving us feedback on the whole Safari on your last day and also for taking the time to post it here. Somehow we are happy to hear the Safari was Great but saddened also by this area of concern. Please accept our deepest apologies for this inconvenient event.
Furthermore, the changes were made from visiting Lake Manyara to spending two nights inside Serengeti National Park. This means spending an extra day inside the Best National Park in Africa! and this was done with good intentions. ( The option was presented to other clients who were very happy about it) And this could be one of the factors that your Safari was great!
Moreover, the price remained the same and this was not advantageous to us because Serengeti is more expensive than Lake Manyara. So the price was not much of a concern to us but your overall experience.
Lastly, we would like to provide a 10% discount on any of your future trips with us.
Note: Normally we provide a briefing before Safari, for all our future clients we would like to alert you to take great attention to all the details provided. If anything is not clear, please ask for more clarity.
Regards,
Jackson

Great wildlife experience
We enjoyed this trip so very much. Both the two days of safari - in which we were brought to 2 parks with plenty of wildlife - as well the last mountain hike to the Materuni waterfall and visit to a coffee village. The food was also good and tasty. The guides were skilled and good company. The communication with Jackson was very good from the moment we booked the tour intil the end where he helped us with out further travels in Tanzania. Topy Tours is a good choice if you want a great experience for a budget price.

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!

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.

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.

Unforgettable experience in Tanzania
It is a good choice for us to have Topy as our tour agency. Before the safari they had prompt reply to our every request and question. They also arranged us a very experienced guide Mr. Eliarmani Kornely, who took us to see many wild animals, two crossings and two rhinos. The lodges were also very good. It was a fresh experience for us to stay overnight in the wild. We heard many animals yelling during the nighttime. And we even seen the Impala eating grass in front of our tent! It was an unforgettable experience and we will definitely come back again. Thanks again to all the staff from topy tours and our guide Eliarmani Kornely.

AMAZING journey with professional guide
It is the first time to come to TANSANIA, unregreable to choose TOPY TOURS. In the beginning of preparation phase, the feedback was always very quickly! Our Guide Eliamani is very recommended not only because of his over 20-years Safari experience but also the history knowledge of Tansania and drive skills. He is very reliable and shows professional ability to be the Safari guide.
