The trip of a lifetime with Topy Tours!
We booked a 10-day safari for 3 adults with Topy Tours in late November, and it turned out to be the trip of a lifetime! The organization was smooth and flawless, the different accommodations were really comfortable and ideally located with great views, the car was well maintained and clean, and of course, our guide Ben was simply amazing: professional, open-minded and very attentive to our safety and comfort, he made sure we had the best experience! We are very grateful to have found Topy Tours for this trip, they deserve those 5 stars!

One of the best experiences ever
We made a 6 day safari through tarangire, lake manyara, Serengeti, ngorongoro and lake eyasi tribe (Hadzabe and Datoga). Honestly it was amazing. The safari itself was beautiful, we were very lucky and saw a lot of animals. Then the tribe experience was a incredible and a great complement to the safari. Our guide Simon was amazing, always ready to help us and answering all our questions. It was very nice meeting him. The communication with the company was great, everything worked well and I think the tour was very good value for price. All in all I recommend a lot serenguetti smile. Thank you

Very responsive and well arranged
Serengeti Smile was very responsive since the beginning and adjusted the program according to our needs and preferences in a very efficient way, including safari in different parks and cultural visits do markets and Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. The tour went without any problems, we loved the experience and would definitely do it again. Our tour guide Simon was very kind and helpful which made our safari experience amazing and relaxed. Simon is very knowledgeable and was able to explain us many things about the animals and Tanzanian culture.

Great variety of landscapes and animals
You never know what to expect when booking a tour but Tanzania didn’t disappoint. Bird life was amazing plus of course all the gazelles and antelope and the larger animals. We wont forget seeing so many elephants up close and the Leppard perched perfectly in a tree. Glad we came in December although meant to be wet season it wasn’t as the rain patterns seem to be changing. I won’t come in July and August as it sounds packed and to be honest already feeling a bit uncomfortable with the number of jeeps surrounding the big cats. There seems to be pressure on the tour guides to bag the big five rather than showing and talking about conservation of all the wildlife, but guess the guests are driving this. The accomodation and food (given we at re vegetarian) was great but particularly the Weaver Tents. The highlight was the Serengeti so would recommend two days there and glad we didn’t go to Lake Manyara. Central Serengeti was the most exhilarating. This is a great way as a tourist to show the value and interest in nature just hope the numbers are controlled going forward. Jackson’s team were great and helped us with last minute travel plans.

A professional, friendly operator that delivers truly memorable safari adventures.
I was lucky enough to go on a safari with my bestie, and we chose this local agency. A choice we absolutely do not regret, as the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, Martin was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating a trip fully tailored to our wishes.
During our 14 days, everything was perfectly organized. The price was very reasonable, which allowed me to enjoy an exceptional trip without breaking the budget. What I loved most was the attention to detail: comfortable and cozy individual accommodations, perfect for resting after long, emotionally rich days; delicious meals; and a real desire to showcase the local culture. We felt guided while still having complete freedom to fully enjoy each moment.
Steve, our guide, was passionate and caring. He knew the wildlife like the back of his hand and managed everything with impeccable logistics. What I loved most was the incredible closeness to nature, without ever compromising safety or respect for the environment.
Each day offered its share of discoveries and emotions: watching buffalos, rhinos, leopards, lions, giraffes, zebras… crossing paths with a herd of elephants just a few meters away… and ending the day by admiring a breathtaking sunset. Every moment was magical and always safe.
If you dream of an authentic, responsible, well-organized, and affordable safari, I highly recommend this agency. They can turn a simple trip into an unforgettable experience. For me, this journey will remain forever etched in my memory!

The eight weeks could not be better
We prepared the 8 weeks trip to Madagascar together with Matoke based on our wishes (16/9 – 10/11/25). First, we travelled 5 weeks south of Tana, in self drive mode, and afterwards 3 weeks, with driver, in the North. Matoke proposed places to stay which, after checking, were confirmed. Together we fixed the excursions and dynamics. We have travelled all our life in Africa, South America, Nepal, often linked to our work in these regions, but Matoke set the bar with our Madagascar trip so high, that our standards for the future travels will be at the top. We will most probably travel again with Matoke and we are curious if they can still put the bar higher, but if they keep up with Madagascar, they will have again very satisfied clients. In 8 weeks in a country like Madagascar (which is so beautiful and where the people’s smile is like a drug) we did not have the slightest inconvenience, something that we think is statistically impossible, but Matoke made it work. ‘Chapeau’, they say in French.

Professional and easy to interact with.
“I travelled to Tsavo East with my family with the help of Horizon Hunt Safaris. Our tour operator, Kamene, was extremely courteous and responsive from the planning stage to the final day of our trip. We had an unforgettable experience and highly recommend them.”
