A fantastic safari, fantastically organized with an incredible guide

“We booked a one week safari through Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongora and Lake Manyara with Topy Tours. The organization went extremely well, Jackson M. took care of everything, answering my questions at any time before and during the tour. You can book with Topy Tours with confidence, with absolutely no doubts. We were lucky to be with our INCREDIBLE guide Jackson during the entire safari, he made us discover all the animals (the complete big five and many more, including several great migration river crossing !!!!!!! Which is unbelievable) with many explanations and so much attentions to be sure we were comfortable and understood everything what we saw. We felt so privileged to be with Jackson, he made our safari unforgettable and far beyond our expectations. We couldn’t thank him enough for this experience.”

“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 Hassan. 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 safari experience

“The trip couldn’t have gone better. We went on a 7 day safari and we saw every animal possible. A well laid out itinerary and good places to stay made this an unforgettable trip. They are flexible to tailor the tour as you see fit”

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!”

Unforgettable experience with exceptional organization!

“Munis responded quickly and satisfactorily to all my questions. Andrew is this gentle, sharp-eyed, always helpful tour-guide you can only wish for! Food was good and always sufficient. The general organization was great, so I only had to watch and experience the abundance of Tanzanian wildlife. Check the ideal season though if you have the expectation to see the Great Migration, hunts or as many big cats as possible.”

Common questions

Late July through September is often strong for northern river crossings, though herds move unpredictably.
