It was worth every penny
Everything was well through out. We only had a short amount of time , but we were able to get a good sample of the Safari in Tanzania with the itinerary that was suggested to us. Communication was always prompt, polite, and informative from the company. Emails were always responded to within 24 hours, and always with as detailed information as possible.
Can’t wait to have another trip with friends I have tested,
It is real worth for saving you plan for vacation.

Safari went fantastic
Me and my wife took a private 5-day safari with lappet faced safaris and it went fantastic!
Our experience started with requesting a quote through this website. We received a response the same day with several options and all our questions answered.
Even though lappet faced safaris offer was more expensive than other quotes we received, we decided to accept it, and that was the right decision!
I was a little bit hesitant to deposit 10% in advance, but it also turned out to be ok.
We even had to reschedule the trip due to personal issues, and this was not a problem for the operator.
We received a list off all the requirements we needed to enter Tanzania including an invitation to apply for eVisa. Our director Francisco followed up regularly to make sure we have our paper work ready.
The safari itself went brilliant! Our guide Emanuel showed great knowledge about the wildlife and local culture. He was always in contact with other drivers in a park. We always arrived on a spot when there were only a few cars and we got the best view point. We really enjoyed game drives with him.
Our favourite park is of course Serengeti Nation Park. The coolest thing was to see the whole big five in one day, before noon.
We were lucky to see a black rhino crossing the road right in front of us, lions having zebra for breakfast, a leopard fending off his pray from a pack of hyenas and taking it on a tree, and a pride of lions playing with its with cubs. The next day we saw four cheetahs hunting an antilope. This was a fantastic end for our safari!
During the five days we stayed in awesome hotels and game camps. Each place offered great service and clean rooms with canopy over the bed. Each place offered other facilities like bars, swimming pools, massage and spa services. One advise I can offer is to bring a power plug adapter, since Tanzania has UK type power plugs.
Another concern we had before our trip was the food. However there was nothing to worry about! Each place we stayed in offered an open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious food. Local and international cuisine.
After the safari we had a day free in Arusha. We ordered a one day Arusha tour at lappet faced safaris. We went to the masai market and orphanage center which lappet faced safaris support. This was another amazing experience delivered by lappet faced safaris
Now we have a ton of photos to go through with our family and friends, and we cannot stop advertising Tanzania and lappet faced safaris to them!
We are sure we will be heading to Africa again very soon!

They are a group of professional, reliable and trustworthy people.
After a comparison that lasted for two months, I chose Lappet faced safaris from among 8 local tour agencies. The main reasons are as follows:
1. Prices are transparent and open.I conducted a search on the internet and after verification, all the information was correct. There was no false reporting of prices.
2. The planning of the travel route is very scientific. Taking a small plane from the central Serengeti to Zanzibar is an excellent choice.No waste of time.
3. Based on my budget, select an accommodation for me.After my experience, I was very satisfied with all these hotels. They are a very cost-effective choice.
4. They have professional guides.The guide Mmary, he took into account everything for me. While showing me many animals and their behaviors, he also avoided risks and ensured our safety.
5. Throughout the entire process of travel, including the early, middle and final stages, Lappet provide comprehensive care for us.

Great value experience
8-day, 7-night safari during the 2026 calving season. The Toyota Land Cruiser was in excellent condition, with comfortable cushioned seats, unlimited bottled water and drinks, and we opted for a hot lunch – every meal was delicious. Most fortunately, our guide was Radar Joseph, once named the best guide by a Tanzanian travel guide! He was sincere, meticulous, and cheerful, possessing extensive wildlife knowledge and radar-like search abilities, and an intimate knowledge of Tanzania's national parks. I once asked Joseph, "How do you know every road in the vast Serengeti?" He replied, "Reference points + 13 years of experience." My teammates love birdwatching, and Joseph possessed incredibly rich bird knowledge. When we apologized to Joseph for the frequent stops for bird photography, he always said, "Hakuna matata – that's what you came for!" Joseph was exceptionally skilled at tracking animals. In the Gol Koppies area of southeastern Serengeti, a cheetah mother with her two cubs jumped onto our SUV! The vast Serengeti plains, only one SUV, three cheetahs! This was a highlight of our Tanzanian Safari! Besides his extensive professional knowledge, Joseph also paid exceptional attention to detail. For example, he carefully covered our suitcases with cotton sheets; thoughtfully parked the best spots for us; and after our Serengeti game drive, our car was always spotless the next day, even though it was covered in mud. When there was no water to wash at the campsite, he wiped it clean with cloths. He even thoughtfully gave the extra beef and other hot food from lunch to the sanitation workers. Joseph, a highly skilled and caring gold-medal guide, provided our family with an outstanding Safari experience. Thank you Lappet Faced Safari, thank you Joseph!

Best Company to organize our trip
We had a 10-day 9-night tour organized by Lappet Faced Safaris and everything was simply perfect.
We were recommended by a friend to book with this company and we are so happy we did it!
Since the first contact, they acted very professional. Answers to our questions came within short time and every change, addition or deletion to the program was handled immediately and professionally.
We also had some concers about having a PCR test in Tanzania (since it was a requirement to go back home) and they helped us organize it and to have the results on time for our flight.

Kilimanjaro Rongai Route
Lappet Faced Safaris took care of everything! They were responsive and helpful from the beginning as we planned our trip and took care of everything we could've needed from beginning to end.
We had Eric and David as our head guides and Isa and Charles as our other guides. Ask for them! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and so much fun! They ensured that all of us got all the way to the top, even helping one of our group members through some tough altitude sickness. Their expertise at high altitude was amazing.
Lappet Faced Safaris took amazing care of us at every step of the way and gave us the experience of a lifetime on Kilimanjaro.

A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE IN TANZANIA
From the first contact with the agency by email and what’s up the answer from Francisco, the director was quick and professional understanding perfectly our preferences, tailoring our itinerary. His economical offer also it was on the top of price quality ranking. Any change or inconvenience was solved quickly.
We were visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro on a 4x4 convertible with the best driver and guide that you can find . His name is Naftal, he is educated, good person, and fantastic searching and finding the animals. We saw the big five with him at NGORONGORO.
We highly recommend the agency and of course Naftal the driver / guide.

Excellent Experience
I used Lappet Faced Safaris to organize our safari in Tanzania and we couldn't have chosen a better Tour Operator. From my first email, Francisco was extremely helpful and He guided me, listening to my every need and desires, in order to create a custome-made safari, which would fulfil our dreams.
Once in Tanzania, our driver Deo was waiting for us at the airport and he has proven himself a great and very knowledgeable travel companion; thanks to him, we saw so many animals in all kind of situation. We went to Lake Manyara, to Ndutu, to Ngorongoro and to Serengeti. Each of these parks were wonderful and all the lodges and tended camps suggested by Francisco were just outstanding.
So do not hesitate if you want to have a superb experience in Tanzania and enjoy a problemless safari and stay, Lappet Faced Safaris will do everything to help you!
