A perfect way to make your Tanzania experience

“If you want a fantastic time in Tanzania, with of course an safari experience you should book with Topy tours. Booking, replying, info was good to find. A good price/quality balance. We travelled the last week with Ben(endict) and was really so good. Fine (safe) driver, guide and person, with lots off know-how about all the parks, routes and animals. When we were stil looking for animals, he already spotted them from far away. Also very fine is that Ben has a natural way off how he must park the (great, well maintained, clean, provisied with cold drinks) car. In the most perfect positions, he placed the car, so we could make great pictures from the animals. For Some drivers it can be challeging where to stop, but Ben made it seem easy. Because off Ben we have seen the big five! We have seen almost 50 lions, 15 cheeta’s, so many birds, more then 10 rhino’s, so much zebra and wildebeast. And a fantastic all alone spot with a leopard in a tree, so close by! Ben also gave us so much information about the animals. Topy tours with our guide Ben made our safari so memorable, and I am my husband greatfull hè has found Topy tours online. When we come back to Tanzania, because iT is so beautifull, we definelity book with Topy tours again, and hopefully Ben could en our guide again and show us the different parks Tanzania has to offer. Topy tours picked is up from the airport, and from beginning to the end it was fantastic. We travelled in the wet season, and Ben made sure we never goten stock somewere. His driving capacity gives you trust and a way that you can sit down and just relaxe from all the beautifully things Tanzania has to offer. You can feel he has got your back and he shows you the animal and good spots.”

The trip of a lifetime with Topy Tours!

“We booked this 10-day safari as a family trip, and we are so glad we chose Topy Tours! The organization was smooth and flawless, the accommodations at each location were comfortable and always set in a nice environment with great views, the car was well maintained and always clean. What made the trip even more perfect was Ben, our guide, who proved to be very professional, interesting, open-minded, and very attentive to our safety and comfort. He is a real gem, who made sure we had an unforgettable experience. We can only recommend travelling with Topy Tours for your safari in Tanzania, they will make it the trip of a lifetime!”

Safari of a lifetime!!

“Amazing safari!! Very well organised, didn’t have to do a thing ourselves. Guide was very thorough, kind and attentive. Plenty of time to see each national park. We managed to see the migration of animals from Kenya to Tanzania. We also saw several lions, elephants, giraffes etc. Would highly recommend this company.”

Perfect Safari

“When I planned our safari it was very important for me to read the reviews of various sites of the chosen company. I saw that Topy Tours had only very good reviews and I decided to book with them. It was a very good decision, as our trip went just perfect. From the beginning on Jackson was very available to help me with any question about the safari and the necessary details. The pick up from the airport, to the hotel and back to the airport was always very punctual and well organised. The safari was just stunning, our guide Simon was perfectly prepared to share with us the wonders of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. He drove us always just in time to see special moments of special animals and thanks to him we were able to see all of the big Five. Also in the lodges we felt really good, everybody we met -generally during all our stay in Tanzania- was incredibly kind. They treated us so well with good food and nice and very clean rooms. During safari Richard cooked fresh and typical meals for us. Asante sana to all people we met during our stay, if we come back to Tanzania we will contact you again for sure.”

“Topy tour gave us amazing experience in Serengeti and ngorongoro safari! And the travel agent mr Jackson is super friendly and helpful, I lost my handbag in Serengeti however mr Jackson tried his best to help me find my bag back, although it caused him a lot of trouble but he was doing his best to help us. I appreciate it so much and I’m so impressed by their customer service. All the staff there are friendly! Also Topy tour has very reasonable price for safari. If you want to go any safari in Tanzania pls choose them.”
