Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara Group Safari (5 Days)

The journey with Topy Tours was beyond my expectations. I booked a 5 day group safari that included Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. The package included the pick up/drop for airport (Kilimanjaro/Arusha), hotel stay before and after the safari, the entire safari including Tourism tax, entry to the national parks, material for camping, stay at lodges and all meals including provision of wine and beers. The owner, Jackson was very responsive and took care of everything without us having to worry about anything. He greeted me on the day or arrival and as well as the day of departure. The best part of the trip were- Joseph (tour guide) and Simba (Chef). Both these people went out of their ways to make us feel comfortable, safe and well fed. Joseph was very knowledgeable and did not mind detours to explore more. Our group asked many many questions and he always responded with a smile on his face. Simba made sure we are well fed at all times. We are served freshly made food in all meals that included soups/ freshly baked breads/ pizza/pasta/lasagne/curries/salads/ grilled fish or chicken/desserts. I gained 2 kgs after the trip ;) I would highly recommend Topy Tours to anyone who asks. Fyi- there are different range of packages you can choose from budget to luxury- depending on how much you want to pay.

We decided fairly last minute to go on a 5 day safari in Tanzania and Topy Tours provided an excellent service. Jackson guided us through a range of different options for the safari and we decided on the mid range lodge safari. I’m so glad we did as the lodges were amazing, saw zebra, monkeys, baboons and even hippo just at our lodges in the evenings! The safari itself was amazing, we had a great guide and spotted a huge array of animals (including the big 5). Lunches on the road were provided by a chef that travelled with us and evening meals were buffets at the lodges, and were all great. The whole trip worked like clockwork from airport pickups to check ins at lodges. I can’t recommend this tour enough, thanks Jackson!

Our safari experience with Topy Tours was one of the highlights of our amazing trip in Tanzania. With so many different packages from various tour operators, it was a challenge initially to pick one. But Jackson, the owner, stood out immediately from the rest because he was always quick in his response and answered every question with clarity. One thing that stood out was also the fact he does not pressure you into booking with him, which may not be the case with others. As for our package itself, it was an amazing experience from our first day at the Kilimanjaro Mountain foothills. We had a great time hiking up to Mandara Hut which set the tone for our safari adventure. Me and my wife had 2 other great couples that we could bond with throughout the week long trip. As for the safari, we saw almost all the animals, and the highlight was three lions kill a gazelle for lunch right in front of us! After our safari adventure ended, Jackson even accompanied us on the final day by taking us to the cultural village and some nightlife afterwards. I would highly recommend Topy Tours. It was amazing to learn so much about Tanzania thanks to their amazing all-round service!
