Excellent safari with Lappet Faced safaris
The company were great to deal with in advance in putting together the right itinerary. We saw everything we hoped to see on this trip and the accommodations were perfectly chosen.
The vehicle was clean and well maintained.
Naftal was a fabulous guide and host, from meeting us at the airport with smile, through all our game drives and lunches. Knowledgeable, friendly, well presented, and also a bird expert! Excellent for our trip.

We recommend it to everyone
Safari was an incredible experience for us and especially sleeping in a tent in the Serengeti National Park.
Everything was great and we enjoyed adventure.
Thank you very much for the entire organization, all the praise for the cook who filled our wishes and of course the big greeting and thank you for Francisco owner and our driver guide on safaris.

It was the best trip of our life!
When we arrived in Zanzibar, at first we did not know which company to choose for the Safari. We received many offers, but it was Francisco from Lappet Safari that offered the best price and all the important options for an individual tour for us. He aroused the most confidence and already at the stage of coordinating the entire tour took great care of us and tried to do and find everything possible for our trip. For example, my husband and I have been vegetarians for many years, when Francisco found out about this, he immediately clarified what foods we do not eat and agreed with everyone to prepare the appropriate food for us, and it was, and it is very pleasant.
At the Arusha airport we were met on time, helped with our suitcases and took us to our hotel. We checked in and then Francisco suggested that we go to the Masaev market to while away the day and at the same time see the outskirts of the city. We agreed, went for a drive around the city and bought souvenirs for ourselves and our relatives at the fair with pleasure.
In the morning, just on time, our guide Naf came to pick us up in branded clothes (and not like many other companies like a trader from the market), who looks like a super soldier from Hollywood films. As we learned later, he had had 15 years of experience in safari and, believe me, it was very felt. He knows a lot of interesting features about animals and talks about them right away himself, he didn't even have to ask. He also drives a car very safely, is well-versed in parks, so we were always the first near rare animals or generally the only observers, he speaks English well and is always happy to take care of tourists. We fell in love with him from the first minutes of our acquaintance.
The car opens the roof for a better view, they give you the right amount of binoculars, there is also a sanitizer, a special fridge filled with soda and water, and a large bag that holds your lunch and a thermos of hot water for coffee or tea if desired. There are also sockets in the car and you can charge any of your gadgets. The car itself is just a tank on wheels. You can ride on water, mud and anywhere on this colossus very easily and you will never get stuck anywhere.
On the first day in the Serengeti Park, we saw baboons, a huge number of zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, pumbaa, hippos, all kinds of antelopes, bison, griffins and hyenas.
We also stopped in the village of Masaev, where we were given an excursion, and we presented them to the children, toys brought from Russia, stationery and sweets. The experience was indescribable - it was something to sit in a hut of an African tribe with a local resident and listen to his stories about their life.
In the evening we were taken to our campsite, where inside the huge tents everything is like in ordinary hotel rooms - a large four-poster bed, a shower with hot water, a lot of different furniture such as a makeup dressing table or armchairs. The dining room has a separate huge tent, where everything is very beautifully served, chairs are pushed behind you, a special chef prepares - everything is like in a luxury restaurant.
The next day we have already set a plan for ourselves to see the lions and all the cats, and there are a lot of them. The Serengeti Park is very beautiful and huge, the nature in it is constantly changing and Naf showed us beautiful atolls made of stones where lions like to stop and these places really look like in the cartoon "The Lion King". Representatives of the feline family, as it turned out, are more fond of walking in fields and grass. Among them we saw cheetahs, caracal, servals, leopards and 2 little lion cubs. We also saw 6 lions with little lion cubs sleeping on a tree with mighty branches, which while we were filming them - we decided to go down, walk next to our car and go into the sunset. It was something. We also saw a crocodile again, but not in the water, but on land, he was so huge asleep on the sand and we looked at him and could not believe our eyes. Then Naf took us to the lake, which was just a thousand pink flamingos. And we decided to eat our lunch there, lunch in the middle of the lake with a huge number of pink flamingos!
On the third day we went to Ngorongoro and on the way saw large migrations of antelopes, bison, zebras, very often giraffes and antelopes and sometimes jackals came across on the way. Animal migration is certainly very impressive. And having enjoyed it enough, we went in search of rhinos and elephants. There are a lot of bison, antelope, zebras, birds in the Ngorongoro caldera, and after 20 minutes after driving along the crater we knew, thanks to our guide, where 5 rhinos are now and where are the elephants. We were so happy when we saw them! When we left the park, the road went straight along the edge of the crater and at a great height, around a beautiful tropical forest, as if you were in Bali. And going up the mountain, we saw in parting once again a whole family of 14 elephants!
What can I say at the end - Lappet Faced Safaris fully justified our hopes and confidence, fulfilled all our wishes and gave us even more than we expected. Impressions, photos and videos were taken away for a whole year of memories. Only a small part of our adventures is described here.

A Must-Choose Safari Company!
A Must-Choose Safari Company!
And to my Chinese friends "Choose this one! Chinese people don’t cheat Chinese people."
We had an absolutely amazing trip to Tanzania, and choosing Lappet Faced Safaris was the best decision we made! Everything was perfectly organized, and they went above and beyond to make our journey unforgettable.
Our guide, Joseph, was incredible—super friendly, extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, culture, and history, and always making sure we had the best experience. He could spot animals from miles away, shared fascinating stories, and even prepared a Chinese book on local animals to help us understand better. He also knew so many local guides, hotel staff, and restaurant waiters, which made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. Plus, his driving skills were excellent—I usually get carsick, but never once felt uncomfortable with him behind the wheel!
One of the best things about Lappet Faced Safaris was their fair pricing and flexibility. They only required a small deposit, and we paid the rest in cash upon arrival. The trip was all-inclusive, and we only had to cover souvenirs and tips. They found us amazing hotels at great prices, always looking for ways to save money for us. Due to our uncertainty, we changed our itinerary more than four times, and they were always patient and accommodating.
Thanks to Joseph and Lappet Faced Safaris, this was more than just a vacation—it was an adventure of a lifetime. If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, this is the company to go with. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to travel with them again!

Excellent!!!
I had the best experience with Francisco who helped us book the safari a couple of months earlier. He explained everything clearly, and he was also very accommodating, always keeping in close contact. The quality of the safari was great, the driver was extremely punctual, and the food was absolutely incredible. Honestly, even better than some of the restaurants that we went to when staying in Tanzania. I would thoroughly recommend this safari and this company. Thank you.
