Ben was absolutely amazing and turned a beautiful sarafi filled with so many animals into an unforgettable 3 days filled with laughter and fun. The accommodations were all comfortable and the food was all top notch. I would 100% book with him again!

We came as strangers, but left as friends!
5/5

Our safari in Tanzania was an unforgettable experience that far exceeded our expectations. From the very first minute, everything was perfectly organized – from the warm welcome at the airport to the professional guidance of our guide Ben throughout the entire trip.

We were especially impressed by the incredible wildlife we were able to experience up close. During our 6-day safari, we visited three main stops: Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were lucky enough to see four of the “Big Five.” Ben has an extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna, which he shared with us in a fascinating and easy-to-understand and, most importantly, funny way.

Thanks to his experience and keen eye, we spotted animals we never would have seen on our own.

The accommodations were also perfectly chosen – from cozy lodges to luxurious tented camps nestled in nature. The staff was warm and welcoming everywhere, the food was fresh and delicious, and the service left nothing to be desired.

We highly recommend this trip and want to thank Ben and Jackson for this truly unique experience. It definitely won’t be our last safari in Tanzania!

Extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable!
5/5

Just got back from an incredible safari in Tanzania and I honestly can’t recommend our tour team enough. The trip was organized by Jackson, who was super professional and reliable. Everything he promised in the itinerary was delivered exactly as planned—no surprises, just a smooth, well-run experience from start to finish.

But the real star of the trip was our guide and driver, Ben. He was amazing in every way. Incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks, the landscapes—he could spot animals from what felt like miles away. Thanks to him, we saw some truly rare sightings in both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and he always knew the best spots and times to go.

Ben also drove us for hours and hours each day across all kinds of terrain, always safely and smoothly. He was calm, focused, and professional behind the wheel—even after long days. On top of that, he was just a really great guy to be around: polite, considerate, funny, and always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.

He went above and beyond every single day, and it made a huge difference in how special this trip felt. If you’re looking to do a safari in Tanzania, I 100% recommend going with Jackson and especially asking for Ben as your guide—you’ll be in the best hands.

Amazing experience
5/5

We booked a last-minute luxury safari with Topy Tours Tanzania and had an amazing time. Jackson was very responsive and helpful with the itinerary and arranged our round-trip transfer from Nairobi, everything went smoothly. The 5 days were full-on adventure with a lot of driving, but they made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

Our guide, Benedict, stayed with us the whole time and was absolutely accommodating, knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful.

Highly recommend

Amazing safari, well organised, good communication and excellent tour guide
5/5

Topy Tours organised an amazing luxury safari for our honeymoon. We visited the most beautiful safari spots in Tanzania and saw all of the big 5. The hotels we stayed in were beautiful and exactly what we needed to relax after busy days on the road.
Communication with the company was excellent and very responsive. We had a very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide (Ali) who listened to our requests but also made sure we got our money’s worth and ensured we saw all of the best sights. They also organised hassle free travel to and from the airport, even when our flight changed location at the last minute.
We would definitely recommend Topy again.

Memorable family vacation on a shoestring
5/5

Jackson and his team arranged a once in a lifetime safari experience for our family group of seven. Jackson was incredibly responsive when we arranged the trip and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. He took time to understand our needs and took care to work within our budget. It was great to meet him in person on arrival. Action, our personal cook, spoilt us throughout the trip and his breakfast pancakes will be missed by all when we are home. Our guide, Ali, is very knowledgeable and made sure that we had great sightings in all four the parks that we visited. He has a great sense of humor and the adults as well as the teenagers enjoyed his company and Swahili lessons. Nothing was too much trouble for the Topy team and I wish them all the best for the future.

Exceptional planning of the tour & great driver + guide!
4/5

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 !!

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.

5/5

Our safari with Quagga Topy Safaris and Tours was an unforgettable experience! We saw an incredible variety of animals – zebras, giraffes, elephants (really up close!), antelopes, gazelles, and pretty much every other African animal you can dream of from the Serengeti.

A special shoutout goes to our driver, Pfilip – he was absolutely amazing: friendly, highly experienced, always drove safely, and somehow always knew exactly where the animals were hiding. Thanks to him, we enjoyed every single moment.

The entire trip was perfectly organized. Our first lodge was beautiful – with a pool, stunningly decorated rooms, and animals right outside. The second lodge was located deep in the Serengeti – at night, you could hear the animals, which gave a magical sense of connection to nature.

At both places, we met some of the kindest and most genuine people we’ve ever encountered – warm, attentive, and always ready to help.

This safari was filled with unforgettable encounters, incredible moments, and true adventure.
A clear recommendation for Quagga Topy Safaris and Tours – and especially for Pfilip!

Wonderful adventure in the best Tanzania parks safari
5/5

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!
