“The tour was absolutely amazing. Topy tours were very flexible with us when booking the tour and provided us with a lot of different options to choose the tour that suited us best. All the accommodation was very nice with really good food, nice rooms and bathrooms throughout. What really made the tour special was our guide, Ben. Not only was he extremely nice and made an effort to make us feel welcome and friends with him but he was also very knowledgable and always keen to share his knowledge. Above all Ben went the extra mile to help us find the most amount of animals possible. We were truly blown away each and every day of the tour with the nature and animals we saw. I couldn’t recommend Topy tours enough and will be advising anyone I know who plans to go on safari to book through Topy.”
“Topy Tours is a reliabel organisation. They offer different tours in Tanzania. We booked a tour to Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro crater, Serengetti NP and Lake Manyara. Because of the rain Lake Manyara wasn't possible to visit. Topy Tours offered another good option: Mto wa Mbu Bike Tour - Cultural Cycling Experience. This was really nice. Topy Tours is very quick in answering questions, they had a really good itinerary for a good price. We had guide Ben for the Safari. He was a great guy as person. He spotted many animals for us. That made our Safari very special.”
“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!!”
“Our tour was overall a good experience. Topy Tours and Jackson were very attentive and quickly replied to any questions or concerns we might have. Our guide Matcha was very knowledgeable and experienced and our guide Ben was a blast to go on safari with and a very passionate naturalist. Our accommodations and food were great and we enjoyed our nights camping the most. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn’t an issue with Topy Tours or the service, it was more that we’ve never been on a group safari the switches guests around several times and we didn’t know all the parks in Tanzania only allow operators to run safaris from 6 am to 6 pm, so we felt like we missed out on morning and evening safaris, which is the best time for viewing wildlife.”
“We had a free day in Arusha after our safari and before travelling to Zanzibar so we decided to visit the waterfalls and the hotspring. It was wonderful!! One of our best days of our Tanzanian trip! We really enjoyed visiting the places I mentioned before and also having the chance to see locals' life on the mountains (it was amazing). Jackson helped us to have a perfect day and we ended up having dinner together in a good restaurant in Arusha. 100% recommendable!”
