Topy Tours delivered an unforgettable Safari experience!

“My family and I travelled to Tanzania for a seven night, eight day Safari. The entire holiday was brilliantly put together by Jackson of Topy Tours. The scheduling, the quality of accommodation and the sheer number and quality of wildlife sightings was quite amazing. We had an excellent tour guide, Joseph, who had a great knack of being in the right place at the right time. I would highly recommend Topy to anyone seeking a Safari experience.”

Our guide Ben make the tour memorable

“Was a memorable experience, we was on a tour with our guide Ben, a person who really loves what he do. Also we learned a lot with him about the animals, the country, the places that we visited… it makes the experience memorable. Regarding our plan the accomadations, price for money and planning was fenomenal, if we have to chance something we will do 1 more day at Serengueti instead of Lake Manyara, although for a first Safari experience was also nice.”

Fantastic Serengeti Safari with Topy 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!”

Title: Great value for Money!

“We booked our 8 days wildlife Safari and we are happy we went with topy tour. From the beginning they were patient and they helped plan everything. It was truly are hassle free process! The guide we went with “ Ally” was superb and very knowledgeable about animals. He showed us many animals that we couldn’t even count anymore including the Big Five. The accommodation they choose were nice, clean with great food. We will surely remember this Trip for a lifetime. Many thanks to Topy tours team for this amazing service.”

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.”
