VERY GOOOOD！！
I planned a trip for National Day this time. After booking my flights at the end of July, I started looking for local travel agencies. I compared prices and confirmed my trip in mid-August.
Before departure, I searched Safaribookings for a bunch of sites with over 500 five-star reviews and posted them online. I also used Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) to find several local travel agencies with WeChat accounts. Ultimately, I felt that large agencies generally only responded with templated responses, while small and medium-sized agencies offered more flexibility to customize the package. I ultimately chose Lappet.
This company has several advantages:
1. They have WeChat, so you can search for their official account on Xiaohongshu, eliminating the need for email communication (which is inefficient).
2. They require a 20% prepayment, and even though we only paid the prepayment and provided a screenshot, they already secured the hotel for us before the money even arrived (although cross-border transfers through China Construction Bank offer lower fees, because there's an intermediary bank that's not affiliated with international banking organizations, it's impossible to verify the payment's receipt, resulting in a one- to two-week wait).
3. Unlike some local travel agencies, they don't demand 100% prepayment before departure domestically, claiming they're fully booked for National Day. We arrived at Arusha Airport and were met by Lappet staff, who then paid the full price on the bus.
4. The recommended hotels were excellent. We stayed in several, some recommended by other travel agencies while comparing prices, but the camp Lappet recommended was the best of the trip—new and spacious.
5. The price list was itemized, and the hotel's quote was $20 to $30 cheaper than Goshine and other travel agencies. Because it was such a good value, we didn't have to bargain much in the end. Furthermore, the price included things like hampers and helicopter rescue, unlike other travel agencies that require additional fees.
6. Most importantly, the guide they arranged was excellent. We had previously tried to book several of their popular guides, but couldn't get them booked with only a month and a half in advance. So, two days before departure, Lappet arranged for Stephano. Lappet said all their guides were excellent, and Stephano proved to be fantastic! Stephano is incredibly approachable, and I felt like I was a friend throughout the entire trip. Stephano is very smart, down-to-earth, and a great driver. He helped us overtake and avoid the dust, and we ate two pounds less dirt than others during the whole trip. The key is that he can always grab the best C seat to see the animals. On the day of watching the Tianhe Ferry, the wildebeest moved, and many cars followed the wildebeests. We were originally following a large group of cars, but in the end we were miraculously in the front row and got a good seat. Another day, another car was stuck for a long time, and the guide of the other car asked for help. Stephano taught him how to steer the wheel remotely, and the other car got out easily. Thank you, Stephano, I give this safari full marks

Unforgettable Safari Experience
This safari trip was truly unforgettable! A friend recommended Lappet Faced, and we had a fantastic experience. Our guide, Hussan, was incredibly professional, quickly identifying the animals and providing valuable information. His driving skills were also excellent. We were even lucky enough to see wildebeest crossing the river! I give it a perfect 100! I hope Hussan continues to pursue his passion!

Very good
Safari trip for 7 days and 6 nights. The local travel agency was excellent. I paid the deposit 9 months in advance. Normally, the remaining balance is due before departure, but I found the wire transfer fees to be expensive, so I asked if I could pay in cash upon arrival. The agency agreed. When I arrived at the hotel in Arusha, they came directly to the hotel to collect the payment, which was very convenient.
Additionally, all the hotels I stayed at and the extra safari activities were well arranged, with no changes at all. Our guide, Noel, kept the vehicle very clean and took us to see many animals every day. Whenever we wanted to take pictures of the animals, he would find the best spots for us. We even saw hippos fighting and wildebeests crossing the river. This time, I managed to see all the Big Five in Africa. I will definitely recommend this travel agency to my friends; it was fantastic.

Amazing Safari Experience! Highly Recommend!
In August this year, I chose Lappet Faced Safaris for an 8-day safari tour, and the whole experience was absolutely wonderful!
From the airport pickup to the daily arrangements, everything was smooth and well taken care of. Our pickup driver Eric was warm and thoughtful, making us feel at ease right from the moment we landed.
During the safari, our guide and driver Joseph was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He not only helped us spot incredible wildlife up close, but also shared fascinating insights about the animals and the ecosystem, which made the journey even more enriching.
I also really appreciate Francisco, the company’s manager, who was always patient and attentive. From booking to pre-trip communication, he ensured everything was clear and stress-free.
This 8-day safari was truly an unforgettable experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend Lappet Faced Safaris to anyone who wants to witness the wonders of African wildlife!

Excellent Safari Tour by Lappet Faced Safaris
Francisco was amazing at organizing exactly the trip we wanted. He took the time to answer all our questions and custom made our trip with a great price. We chose the luxury tented lodges but the mid-priced accommodations looked good too. We saw so many animals up close, right by our Land Rovers, on our custom private 10 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). He also arranged a three night get away on Zanzibar at the Zuri Zanzibar resort. It was fabulous! All of the accommodations were fabulous and the food was delicious. You can trust Francisco to organize your safari and make it the trip of your lifetime! This trip exceeded our expectations and that is saying a lot for our group!
Our guides, Ukadi & Alfred, were also amazing, they have a lot of experience as a safari guides and have vast knowledge on the animals, plants, trees and the culture. They spotted so many animals and birds for us, and were patient while we photographed everything. We even got to see all of the Big 5! We saw huge pools of hippos, leopards, cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, Cape buffalos, zebras, wildebeest, ostriches, baboons, hyenas and much, much more!
We really recommend going with Lappet Faced Safari tour company, they are the best! Thank you for sharing your beautiful world with us. We will never forget.
