“Excellent organization, great staff, our guide Ben proved to be excellent in all respects, both as a driver and as a guide. He was very thorough in his explanations, able to show us so many animals, their habitat, and Tanzania itself. He is an excellent person, very knowledgeable, and I will definitely recommend a safari in Tanzania with this highly skilled organization to friends. (automatic translation from Italian)”

Amazing experience and very kind and responsive staff.

“We had a great experience on Topy Tours in the Serengeti, with our tour guide Filemon. File was very friendly and shared lots of interesting facts with us, and was happy to go for as short or as long a day as we liked. We had the most amazing time and really enjoyed it, it was super special! Topy Tours is Tanzanian owned, which we liked, rather than supporting foreign owned companies.”

No crossing is guaranteed. This season offers the best odds, and herds still move day by day.
