Great for Solo Female Travelers
I booked through another safari agency that coordinated for me to connect with a tour from this company. Let me tell you that my guide, Godfry, made this trip. He kept us on schedule, answered all our questions, and seemed to have superpowers of knowing where to find all the animals. He was an incredible driver and often positioned the jeep to get the best view. We saw the big 5! Our cook Dennis was divine. The meals were so good! I'd highly recommend requesting both for a future tour!

We had a fantastic time
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.

The best safari guide ever!
From the very beginning, 7 months before our trip, Jackson was super responsive and communicative. He made everything super easy and got us very excited for our honeymoon safari! We even had to change our dates and had no issues.
Now, on to the safari itself. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro airport by Alex who was super friendly and punctual despite our early morning arrival time. Our hotel in Arusha (Gran Melia) is incredible in both beauty and service.
The next day we met our guide, Ben. He was super friendly and had great vibes from the start! He is very knowledgeable, funny, and nice and we had the absolutely best time with him! We were so sad when he dropped us back off in Arusha. Thank you Ben!!
The best time ever
We just finished the most wonderful 5 days safari with Topi Tours. If we could give it 10 stars, we would - totally exceded our expectations.
We flew into Seronera and spent 2 nights in Serengeti at Moyo Lodge. Beautiful accomodation and hosts. Buffalo and Lions roaming outside at night was amazing. Food and drink delicious. It was my birthday and the team brought our a cake and got the lodge into dancing mode. We then spent a night in Ngorogoro at Serene lodge (loved the bar, live music, and view of the cráter), and then a night at Escarpment Lodge (surely the best view from any pool in Africa) and Tarangire NP.
But the highlight through all of this was our incredible guide, and new friend, Ben. We could not have imagined someone more knowledgeable, attentive, caring (both to us and the animals) and funny. He helped us spot the big 5 (including two leopard sightings!), and the elusive rhino in Ngorogoro. Ben has such a detailed insight into the parks, the history, the animals, the people - it seemed there was no question too big or small that he wouldn’t provide a thoughtful answer to. Thank you, Ben!
We chose Topi based on price, lodges and other positive reviews. So glad we did. Also very happy to have chosen a smaller independent operator. Would recommend topi and Ben to anyone considering a Tanzania safari.

Incredible Safari Experience with a reliable tour operator.
I booked a 5 day 4 night budget safari with Topy Tours because the price was very competitive when compared to other operators. The value we got for our money was quite simply outstanding.
Jackson was reliable and responsive before and after I made my booking and throughout our safari. Always answering any questions I had promptly via email and WhatsApp. He delivered on everything that was promised.
We had an amazing experience seeing all of the big 5, and even witnessing a young lioness hunt and kill an Impala. A very special and lucky experience. Although probably not so much for the Impala.
We also saw 8 Rhino in the Ngorongoro crater in half a day. The wildlife we saw was quite simply breathtaking and beyond my wildest dreams of what a safari would be like.
Our guides were friendly and knowledgable especially Macha who always got our vehicle in prime positions. It was his expertise that got us to see the Lion hunt up close and personal.
The food provided was very good (Chef Simba was a brilliant cook at the campsites) and we even had a can of beer with lunch and a bottle of surprisingly decent wine with dinner. All included in the price.
The lodge accomodation provided for 2 nights of our trip was what you would expect for a budget safari, but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We were also very well fed at breakfast and dinner at the lodge. I loved camping under the stars in the Serengeti and on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater. An experience I will never forget.
Our safari also included transfers from the airport and 1 nights accomodation before our safari started and 1 nights accomodation after the safari ended and a transfer to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar.
In summary I can highly recommend Topy Tours. Reliable, organised and friendly.

EXCEPTIONAL
We took the 4-day/3-night budget option offered by Topy Tour.
We first spent the first night in a very good budget lodge. The other two nights were camping and everything went well too, but beware if you like comfort, camping there are not many! (It's adventure and it's an unforgettable experience)
The first night before the safari and the last night after the safari as well as the return journeys from the airport are included in the price. We were grouped with people from another agency to do the tour. We were 6 in the jeep and everything went very well! The guide was therefore from another agency than that of Topy tour.
JACKSON is the person from Topy tour that I contacted to book the safari. He is very available, very kind and answered all my questions (and there were some).
BENJAMIN was our guide for the entire safari. He is an extremely nice person, always in a very good mood, he did everything so that we could see as many animals as possible, he did not hesitate to make detours for us, to place himself so that we could see perfectly the animal, to sing, laugh, share! It really is a pearl and I did not expect to have such an exceptional guide! Thank you Benjamin, you're the best Babalao!
ERICK was our chef. He prepared excellent meals for us in very large quantities! I did not expect to eat so well and I was pleasantly surprised! He too, always in a good mood, he sang, danced and with Benjamin, they made a pair!
(Small message to the agencies: Keep Benjamin and Erick, they are great people who provide indescribable and unique experiences!)
So thank you to Topy tour, Benjamin, Erick and Jackson for this exceptional experience!

Fantastic communication, Great tour guide and and unforgettable experience!
We had an unforgettable week exploring Tanzania National Parks with Topy Tours!
From the start the communication was excellent, Jackson replied within minutes every time! The booking system was easy and the website showed great choice of Safari’s! The transfer between hotel and airport was flawless and very easy.
The accommodation was fantastic! The best we’ve stayed in! Our favourite was the Moyo tented camp! A must if you’re visiting the Serengeti! All the hotels and lodges were unbelievable. The Gran Melia in Arusha was fabulous as well, a perfect start and end to our safari. Escarpment Lodge had amazing views and pool, very much recommend. The Serena Lodge was also great, the view over the Crater was unreal and we even saw elephants through our binoculars!
All the staff at the hotels, camps and lodges were very welcoming and attentive. They made us feel at home! Lucy at the Escarpment Lodge was the best!
The food in all of the accommodation was some of the best we’ve had! The Gran Melia even has its own vegetable garden and coffee plantation! The packed lunches each day were very tasty and filling!
The national parks were excellent. Our favourite was the Serengeti, we saw 4 of the big 5 here with the final 1 spotted in the Ngorongoro crater. The best experience ever!
Our tour guide Ibrahim, was fantastic! He made it his mission to get us to see the big 5 and without him this wouldn’t have happened. He was very knowledgable and would always point out matters of interest and explain what they were or how they worked. Even on the drive through Arusha to the National parks! He organised a meeting of a local Masai village, where we met locals and had a tour. We loved the vehicle and the fact we were able to stand up through the popped roof, this made better viewing of the animals! In total we saw over 40 species… and that’s not including the amazing birds we saw! So many wonderful eagles!
Our absolute highlight was when Ibrahim drove us to see a leopard! A moment we will never forget and haven’t stopped talking about! Thank you Ibrahim for a wonderful week Safari… we won’t miss the African massage of the roads though!
Highly recommend booking with Topy Tours! The only thing I would change is that we didn’t book for longer!

Ben was the perfect tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable and made the week as fun as possible!
This safari was everything we could have hoped for! Our tour guide Ben knew just where to look for each animal, had a deep wealth of knowledge about the country, the savanah, and the wildlife that lived there, and made the days so enjoyable with his stories and conversation. The accommodations were all stunning as well, with the Gran Melia and the Escarpment being our favorites. Jackson from Topy Tours was very responsive with any questions we had before arrival as well. We would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone heading to Tanzania and the Serengeti! Thanks again for a wonderful week, you guys really made sure our honeymoon was a trip we will never forget!
