Just an amazing experience thanks to Topy Tours!
10 Day Safari - Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater, Central and North Serengeti, Lake Natron
We honestly cant say enough good things about Topy and Joseph our guide. We have just had the best holiday of our lives and have experienced so many amazing highlights thanks to Joseph and the Topy team.
Sophia, Jackson and Topy were so helpful from the start. Our accommodation was all fantastic, delicious food and comfortable beds and feeling like we were in the heart of the Serengeti in our Safari Haven Camps. A delicious cooked lunch each day to have out on our adventure meant we never went hungry (where most other groups we saw had packed sandwiches)
The guide will always be the most important part of a Safari trip and we had the best with Joseph, 13 years experience and just so extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all the parks we visited. We were so lucky to have so many individual and unique encounters with Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs and everything else that Joseph found first, giving us plenty of time to enjoy just us and the animals. You could tell all the other guides had a huge amount of respect for him and we were told multiple times we had the best guide and we knew it. This is the best part of going with a smaller and passionate team rather than a large company that all rush to the same encounters that we would always see aswell, but trusting Joseph to bring us to find the best Safari experience each day made this the best holiday we'll ever have.
Thanks Joseph, Sophia and Jackson

Five Days in Tanzania That We Will Never Forget!
We spent five incredible days exploring Tanzania, and it was an experience we will remember for a lifetime. A big thank you to Ringo for making our safari so special! Traveling through the national parks, seeing the landscapes change, and encountering wildlife in its natural habitat was truly something else.
Ringo was great company throughout the trip. He knew the parks extremely well and always seemed to find something interesting around every corner. Whether we were watching animals from a distance or getting lucky with a closer encounter, he made every moment exciting. His knowledge and experience added so much to the safari.
One of the best parts was that every day was different. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife and enjoyed some truly unforgettable moments in the parks. Beyond the animals themselves, Ringo helped us appreciate the beauty of Tanzania and understand more about the wildlife we were seeing.
He was also easygoing, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable for our group. We felt in good hands from beginning to end.
If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, we can absolutely recommend Ringo and Nkollo tours. His experience and positive attitude made a great trip even better. Thank you for the memories, Ringo — we couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Perfectly organised tour to the rain forests east in Madgascar.
Our guide Koleg and his driver took the three of us by car from the capital Antananarivo to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park and back. The trip was perfectly organised, with a comforting hotel and lots of exciting walks in the rain forests, where we saw pleny of lemurs.
Koleg speaks fluently English, French, Malagasy and Japanese. He is very well organised, well informed and has lots of good humour. We recommend Safari bookings.

Excellent 5 day Safari with a lot of adventure and fun
We had a great 5-day safari with Suricata! We did the camping tour, and although we normally don’t like camping, we absolutely loved it. The tents were really good, and we slept well. The food was delicious every single day.
Communication beforehand was easy, and the safari was definitely worth the money. The value for money was excellent!
We had three different tour guides, and all of them did an awesome job! Robert and Amos told us so many interesting things about the animals and the national parks, which made the experience even better.
For the last few days, we went with Jordan. He’s a great guy who explained a lot about the wildlife and the parks, drove really well through the parks, and was always helpful.
We enjoyed every second of our safari and would do it all over again! Highly recommended!

We went on an 8-day safari with Josh Dreamland Safari. Our guide was Juma, and from our initial inquiry to our final farewell—and even beyond—there isn’t a single thing I could criticize. Consolata was always available and planned everything perfectly. Juma was much more than just a guide; with his calm demeanor and extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna, he made our time truly fascinating. To this day, it remains a mystery to me how he knew all the trails we traveled along and always managed to navigate directly to our next lodge. Admittedly, safaris aren’t exactly cheap, but with Josh Dreamland, every cent is well spent. And one more thing for Juma: even though Young Africans SC lost the derby against Simba, I’m sure they’ll still end up as champions in the end! ;)

Excellent choice
Note: This review focuses on the company’s trip organization and planning, rather than the wildlife viewing itself.
> We spent a year planning this trip, and communication with our organizer was consistently responsive and helpful throughout the process. However, the execution during the trip creation and planning phase had notable gaps:
> * Software & Itinerary Discrepancies: The company relies on generic, out-of-the-box itinerary software that wasn't properly adapted to reflect our customized private tour. Important vehicle details were omitted—for instance, we were placed in a minivan instead of a 4x4 safari jeep for the first two days. This made game viewing in Arusha National Park considerably more difficult. Later, we learned about an emergency rescue directly from our driver-guide, which necessitated the change. We would have been much more understanding if that had been communicated upfront.
> * Another oversight was that we had asked for a bike tour on day two, and it was on the itinerary. There was no bike tour, and no comment from the operator about it.
> Overall: Despite these organization and communication misses, most of what was promised on the itinerary was ultimately delivered. The trip overall was an amazing experience, due to the two driver-guides Emmanuel and Elisha being a lot of fun, very authentic, and highly knowledgeable. Thank you E. & E. for your hard work!

The safari tour far exceeded all my expectations.
It was action-packed, fascinating, and truly unforgettable. We saw so many animals, birds, and breathtaking places that it’s hard to believe a whole week has already passed. A special thank you to our guide, Peter Kapino — he is a true master of his craft! Everything was organized well.
