Absolutely amazing & experienced operators
We had an incredible safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Kindu. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease throughout our trip.
Kindu has over 15 years of experience, and it really shows. His knowledge of the wildlife, parks, and local environment was outstanding, and we learned so much from him during our time together. He was always happy to answer our questions and share interesting facts about the animals we encountered.
Over our safari through Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, Kindu helped us spot an incredible variety of wildlife, including all of the Big Five. His skill in finding animals and positioning the vehicle for the best viewing opportunities made every game drive exciting and memorable.
We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Kindu to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you for helping create memories that will last a lifetime!
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!

What an Amazing Adventure—A Must Do
This was simply an amazing adventure with GREAT people and group! So helpful. So responsive. So understanding. Even fun watching how easily and smoothly can pivot to accommodate different people requests!!!
Tips—pack for varying temps (backpack with windbreaker, short sleeve, gator or mask for dusty)
Have lots of $1 and $5 USD for tips to the locals (very grateful) along with $10/$20, don’t need big bills. And will haggle—if don’t like that, shop with your “auntie”
Use credit cards that don’t have foreign fees. Accepted everywhere it seems so don’t need to convert to local.
Have back up batteries for phone/camera. And lots of storage.
Have nice comfortable walking shoes and socks for feet. And try to wear gentle full up to calf light compression socks daily. (Will thank me later)
Pack your meds and OTCs like to have. Expect URI symptoms and such simply from travel and the dusty roads. And malaria prophylaxis and vaccines
Last—and cannot emphasize this enough, in preparation and while, if have any questions or issues or such, TALK TO MATT and his folks. While there, talk to his staff as well. Amazing people he works with, interesting stories and backgrounds. Talk to the guides he hires to take you on the adventures. Overall, a great time!!!!

A great 4-day safari
We booked a 4-day, 3-night safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and had a very positive experience throughout.
Tarangire was particularly impressive, with its beautiful green and hilly landscapes and an incredible number of elephants. We also had the chance to see two magnificent lions. The Serengeti was equally rewarding, with numerous lion sightings, including females with cubs, as well as cheetahs and leopards.
The accommodation was excellent throughout the trip. All the hotels were very clean, in great locations, with friendly staff and excellent breakfasts.
A special mention goes to our guide and driver, Emanuel. He was very pleasant to travel with, and we enjoyed many interesting conversations during the journey. He has a remarkable ability to spot animals, often finding wildlife long before we could see it ourselves, which made the safari even more enjoyable.
The entire trip was well organised from start to finish, and communication with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was smooth and reliable. Overall, it was a memorable safari experience and a great way to explore some of Tanzania's most iconic parks.
