“we contacted Topy tours to find the right solution for a not-too-expensive safari. The tour operator was very kind and provided a range of possible solutions to find the right one for us. I really appreciated the possibility to select the parks, the areas of the park, the kind of accomodation... The safari went very well. Our driver was great, the food was abundant and excellent. The setting was frugal but perfectly appropriate. And we had the opportunity to see all the animals we wanted. Highly reliable and recommended”
“Unique safari of its kind, kind and well-organized guide!! We saw all 5 of the big 5. Dreamy, movie-like location. (machine translation from it by TripAdvisor)”
“After contacting multiple tour operators, Topy Tours stood out immediately. Jackson, the owner, was remarkably responsive and customized an itinerary aligned with our interests, making the planning process effortless. Jackson personally met us before our safari to ensure we were comfortable with the schedule, and again afterward prior to our departure. This personal touch is what truly makes Topy Tours special. Our guides, Joseph and Assad, brought over a decade of experience to the trip. Their expertise was evident in their exceptional driving, deep knowledge of the local wildlife, and incredible spotting skills—helping us see everything from the Big Five to a leopard in a tree with its prey, stalking cheetahs in the grass, and hard-to-find foxes. It was awe-inspiring to see so much wildlife in its natural habitat. To top it off, we enjoyed delicious, hot traditional local lunches right on the Serengeti, which further elevated an already exceptional experience. Other tours had box lunches. If you are looking for an alternative to large companies and want to personalize your experience, Topy Tours is the ideal choice.”
“We were recommended Topy Tours, and we couldn’t be more grateful for it. From our very first message with Jackson, we felt we were in the best hands. He listened to us carefully, guided us with patience, and made sure our safari became everything we had dreamed of. He also took care of us from the moment we landed until the day we left. Our safari was short, but thanks to our guide Joseph, a truly wonderful person with a genuine passion for what he does, it felt absolutely perfect. His dedication meant we didn’t need more days at all — we saw every single animal we hoped for, including the Big Five! This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stay with us forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Topy Tours.”
“We're giving it five stars just because Philip was there! He speaks German, Swahili, English, and even a little French. He can explain all the animals and even knows the most important facts about Tanzania, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar. Philip is the most knowledgeable and best tour guide you could imagine! Super super super super great.”
The calving season typically runs from January to March, although wildebeest begin gathering in the Ndutu area from December.
