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.
