9-Day Lake Natron and Iconic Parks Safari

“In late November 2025, a nine-day private tour for my husband and me, was provided by Topy Tours in Arusha, Tanzania. From the initial contact with Jackson at Topy Tours, communication was prompt, all questions answered completely, and prices stated. The tour was outlined and the proposed itinerary experienced. Our guide, Joseph, was patient, knowledgeable, accommodating, and willingly answered questions about culture, politics, ecology, landscape formation, and many other topics. He quickly understood our desires and made suggestions to customize the tour for us. His knowledge and demeanor were outstanding. The wildlife encountered ranged from cheetahs, leopards, lions, and elephants to warthogs and leopard tortoises. We are interested in birds. Joseph found and helped identify numerous species. The Topy Tour safari took us to a wide variety of landscapes with few other tourists and a great abundance of wildlife. The size of one mixed herd of wildebeests and zebras filled our view. We have no hesitation recommending services provided by Topy Tours.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Topy Tours! Jackson has been very responsive and professional, always available to answer our questions! The hotels and lodges chosen were amazing and always the best option in the given area. The whole package was the best in terms of value for money when comparing with other offers. But what really made our safari unforgettable was our guide Amour. He is an excellent and experienced guide, able to track animals by himself, very approachable and always in a good mood. We saw all the Big Five, including hunting lions and a cheetah family eating their pray. Amour also shared many stories about wild animals and local culture with us. He is also a great and experienced driver, (which is very important given the state of the roads in the parks). He was also always respectful of safety rules, which was really important to us and made us feel safe during our whole trip.”

“The experience was amazing: we chose "9-day lake Natron and iconic parks safari" with Topy Tours because the journey included all the Parks in the north of Tanzania, in particular Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Northern and Central Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and also the Lake Natron. We arrived in Arusha, near to Kilimangiaro airport, and we finished the safari in the same city. Jackson in the previous months sent us all the program, he is very professional and kind. We are very happy and grateful for this trip: we saw a lot of animals, like elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, cheetah and others. In the Norhern Serengeti we were very lucky because we saw the migration of gnus trough the Mara river, we were very excited! Besides the animals, also the landscape is incredible. The lodges and the tented camps were wonderful! For two nights we slept into the Serengeti National Park and we saw an elephant and an hippo near our tent! It was amazing. Also the food was delicious. Our guides Ibra and Ciprian were perfect drivers and they described during the trip animals and landscape. So we recommend Topy Tours because is a local agency with excellent quality/price. Thank you very much Jackson, I hope to return to Tanzania and if so, we will choose again Topy Tours!”

“When I started looking for African safari, I was not sure which tour company to pick. I have researched and requested quotes from many tour companies from Safaribooking website. We wanted someone with local knowledge and expertise. I researched hundreds of safari companies, reading reviews, looking for any bad reviews or experiences people shared. Now you don’t have to the search. Just in case if you are searching Topy Tours reviews and company info, " Quaggay Topy Tours was the original name and to keep it simple they now known as Topy Tours. I am so glad that book with Topy Tours and you’ll have a top-notch safari experience! Everything was perfect for our 9 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. Tour Coordinator Jackson was extremely helpful, informed and an excellent communicator. We were able to customized our own, private Serengeti safari within our budget. I changed my mind on our dates & itinerary multiple times, so that my family get to see the most in given times frame before finally booking and Jackson was incredibly patient and helpful. Cost of tour is the best I got when compared to different quotes I received from other companies. We tour almost all the world famous National Parks in Tanzania, customized all in one Safari trip - Arusha, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, North / West / Central / East / South Seregenti (chasing great Migration ) , Lake Natron and Ngorongoro Crater. At the end of the trip we added at the last minute and decided to visit Wild Life Sanctuary near Arusha and it was the best decision of our trip. At the sanctuary, we got to feed and pet the fully grown wild animals including Giraffe / Zebra / impalas / Antelopes / Lion. We had no idea how completely unique and stunning our tour will be. The lodges were carefully selected and also very good, well maintained and exceeded our expectations. It was a unique experience for us to stay overnight in the wild. We experienced wild life outdoor night experience and saw many animals around the tent lodges. The tented lodges are very safe and security all the time provided you stick to the rules and regulations. Our driver & guide AMOUR was exceptional, extremely knowledgeable about the Safari National Parks, friendly, relaxed and open to whatever we wanted to do & wherever we wanted to go. On one occasion, we spend long game drive time n the park and it got dark. And when is dark in serengeti, it is really "dark and scary". Our driver had exceptional GPS skills and we found the lodge which was newly built and had no visible directions. nOur safari was a magical experience thanks to our wonderful guide, We couldn't have asked for more. During our 9 day trip, we were able to see BIG FIVE, although RHINO was difficult to see and only found in Ngorongoro crater, we were able to view from distance but we managed it. We even saw LEOPARD, which is the rarest of all the animals to see as they live on trees. Overall we did approximately 3000 km ( 2000 miles) cross country game parks We did not visited Tanzania only, but in fact we made friends for long lasting relationship !!”

“The professional and friendliness of the tour operators was amazing. From airport pick up, hotel stays, meals and safaris, everything was as expected or above.”
