Fantastic communication, Great tour guide and and unforgettable experience!
We had an unforgettable week exploring Tanzania National Parks with Topy Tours!
From the start the communication was excellent, Jackson replied within minutes every time! The booking system was easy and the website showed great choice of Safari’s! The transfer between hotel and airport was flawless and very easy.
The accommodation was fantastic! The best we’ve stayed in! Our favourite was the Moyo tented camp! A must if you’re visiting the Serengeti! All the hotels and lodges were unbelievable. The Gran Melia in Arusha was fabulous as well, a perfect start and end to our safari. Escarpment Lodge had amazing views and pool, very much recommend. The Serena Lodge was also great, the view over the Crater was unreal and we even saw elephants through our binoculars!
All the staff at the hotels, camps and lodges were very welcoming and attentive. They made us feel at home! Lucy at the Escarpment Lodge was the best!
The food in all of the accommodation was some of the best we’ve had! The Gran Melia even has its own vegetable garden and coffee plantation! The packed lunches each day were very tasty and filling!
The national parks were excellent. Our favourite was the Serengeti, we saw 4 of the big 5 here with the final 1 spotted in the Ngorongoro crater. The best experience ever!
Our tour guide Ibrahim, was fantastic! He made it his mission to get us to see the big 5 and without him this wouldn’t have happened. He was very knowledgable and would always point out matters of interest and explain what they were or how they worked. Even on the drive through Arusha to the National parks! He organised a meeting of a local Masai village, where we met locals and had a tour. We loved the vehicle and the fact we were able to stand up through the popped roof, this made better viewing of the animals! In total we saw over 40 species… and that’s not including the amazing birds we saw! So many wonderful eagles!
Our absolute highlight was when Ibrahim drove us to see a leopard! A moment we will never forget and haven’t stopped talking about! Thank you Ibrahim for a wonderful week Safari… we won’t miss the African massage of the roads though!
Highly recommend booking with Topy Tours! The only thing I would change is that we didn’t book for longer!

Absolutely amazing & experienced operators
We had an incredible safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Kindu. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease throughout our trip.
Kindu has over 15 years of experience, and it really shows. His knowledge of the wildlife, parks, and local environment was outstanding, and we learned so much from him during our time together. He was always happy to answer our questions and share interesting facts about the animals we encountered.
Over our safari through Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, Kindu helped us spot an incredible variety of wildlife, including all of the Big Five. His skill in finding animals and positioning the vehicle for the best viewing opportunities made every game drive exciting and memorable.
We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Kindu to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you for helping create memories that will last a lifetime!

Fantastic to deal with
Our safari exceeded every expectation, and we have Kindu to thank for making it such a special experience. Throughout our trip, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, making every day enjoyable from start to finish.
What stood out most was how much effort Kindu put into ensuring we had the best possible wildlife sightings. Thanks to his experience and keen eye, we were lucky enough to see an amazing range of animals across Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, including all of the Big Five.
Beyond spotting wildlife, Kindu shared so much information about the animals, landscapes, and Tanzanian culture, which added a whole new level to the experience. It was clear that he genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in giving his guests an unforgettable safari.
We always felt safe, well looked after, and welcome in his company. If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend requesting Kindu as your guide. He played a huge part in making this one of the most memorable trips we've ever taken.

Safari and holiday like no other
April is usually a packed month as the school holiday is around, coupled with Easter celebrations. We had trouble making decision on where to spent this season. In our midst a lot of places came up and we could not agree specifically as a family. We contacted Kirug safaris with a template of our plans and activities. The first response we receive, from Francis was supert, and immediately we knew we were in safe hands. We had been having a conflicting discussion between a safari and holiday staycation at the coast.
Our plans was immediately merge and we realized we could actually do both with little difference in cost. Francis suggested a plan; the coastal circuit safari ending with a holiday in Diani. The itinerary and activities was amazing and we knew this was it.
On the actual day, we were picked at our home and the safari started early enough. We wanted to start a bit late due to the struggle of waking up the kids and all but we were advice the merits of embarking on our journey early, specifically due to long travelling distance on the road and also the scorching sun of the Tsavo parks.
We arrived at our lodge, Severin safari camp in the early afternoon and we immediately knew this is it. The place is serene, clean and offers perfect seclusion with complete taste of the wilderness. We spent 2 unregrettable nights here before proceeding to Tsavo East. Our camp here also was amazing. It is smaller and offers that personal touch and experience only few places can march.
We wind up with a 3 nights holiday in Diani at the famous Southern palm resort. We had a myriad of activities arranged for the kids. The movement in Diani was all well arranged and smooth and by the time the holiday was over, no one really wanted to go back yet as the hospitality and experience was on another level.
Thank you so much for putting all this together;the plan, hotel choices, activities and executing everything perfectly.
We strongly recommend the services of Kirug safaris for anyone thinking of safari or holiday. We are contacting them again soon for the end year holidays.
Professional, knowledgeable and deliver a fantastic experience.
We booked our 4 day safari directly with The 3 Ps Tour & Travel in Kenya. It was short notice and from the outset Norah provided comprehensive, professional and knowledgeable advice, together with an attractive itinerary and competitive quote. The 3Ps were not the lowest quote we received nor the most expensive but they are very good at what they do. Communication was exceptional, replies to questions and itinerary changes acknowledged and confirmed quickly. The actual safari surpassed our expectations - the quality of accommodation, food, logistics, and the game drive experience was amazing. We saw so many wild animals in their natural habitat and our guide Maurice was very experienced, knowledgeable, courteous, professional and good fun / great company. We would recommend The 3Ps Tour & Travel to anyone thinking of a safari in Kenya.

The perfect Tanzanian safari! Seamless, memorable & truly magical!
We booked a 4-day, 3-night safari with Mountain Warriors after comparing several other companies, and we are so pleased we chose them.
The customer service was exceptional from start to finish. Communication was always quick, clear and friendly, particularly from Evaline, who responded promptly to every question we had via WhatsApp. The company was also very flexible when discussing our itinerary and any additions we wanted to include.
As we were celebrating our honeymoon, Mountain Warriors added some lovely personal touches, including decorating our safari vehicle and arranging a special room setup at one of the lodges. These thoughtful details really showed how much they care about their guests’ experience.
Our itinerary included Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five as well as many other incredible animals, making the safari everything we had hoped for and more. As we know the big 5 is not a guarantee but we felt so lucky.
The standout part of the trip was our guide, Mbwana. He was knowledgeable, professional and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. He always made sure we were comfortable, never rushed us when viewing wildlife and was happy to tailor the day around our interests. His ability to spot animals was remarkable, and his knowledge of the parks and wildlife added so much to the overall experience.
The accommodation selected by Mountain Warriors was excellent throughout. The locations were beautiful, check-in and check-out processes were seamless, and all staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly. Camping in the Serengeti was a particular highlight, especially listening to lions roaring in the distance during the night.
The quality of the food throughout the safari was excellent, with plenty of variety and flavour. We were especially impressed by the hot lunches served during game drives, which were far better than we expected.
The safari vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped, including a fridge and a constant supply of drinking water and other beverages.
Our package included a Serengeti hot air balloon safari, and this was worth every penny. It was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our entire honeymoon.
Throughout the trip, we felt completely safe, well organised and looked after. Mountain Warriors delivered exactly what was promised and, in many ways, exceeded our expectations.
We would not hesitate to recommend Mountain Warriors to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania and would happily travel with them again in the future.

Unforgettable Experience
My boyfriend and I spent 4 nights and 5 days with the ABL team.
Our guide TT was FANTASTIC! Thanks to him, we were able to fully enjoy the wonderful places he showed us: Chobe, Savuti, Moremi, and the Okavango Delta. It truly felt like we were in a NatGeo documentary! Thanks to his tenacity and knowledge, we saw four of the Big Five multiple times (not the rhino, but only because it's no longer present in those areas). Thanks also to the other guys at the camp, we ate and rested divinely. The organization was perfect and the kindness was unique. We recommend it to anyone who wants a true African experience. Thank you ABL for everything!!!

A warm hearted guy who makes me feel safe and comfortable during the entire journey.
This was a wonderful and unforgettable trip. The drivers who took us on the game drives were very experienced. They were great at spotting animals hidden in the grass and also explained the habits and characteristics of different animals to us. The accommodation was good value for money, and the food and service were both very nice. Most importantly, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely come back again if I had the chance.
