Wonderful experience from beginning to end thanks to Lappet Faced Safaris
5/5

We traveled to Tanzania this time with Lappet Faced Safari (Lappet Faced Forever) and specifically chose Frank Sabore, a guide with a glowing reputation in the travel social group.

Our Itinerary: He took us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and both Central and Northern Serengeti.

Vehicle & Comfort: Lappet Faced Safaris' Toyota Land Cruisers feature extra-cushioned seats, which were a lifesaver on the bumpy, all-day drives in the Serengeti. They also provided bean bags in the vehicle for camera support.

Connectivity: Instead of in-car Wi-Fi, Lappet Faced provided physical SIM cards (5GB each). Make sure to bring a unlocked phone with a physical SIM tray. While cell coverage across the Serengeti is generally weak, the SIM card signal was actually slightly better than the eSIM data package I had purchased before the trip. Plus, hotels have Wi-Fi, so we didn't even use up the 5GB data by the end of the trip.

Overall, Frank is an extremely responsible guide—highly recommended! Here are the key highlights:

Flawless Communication: His English is exceptionally fluent and natural (so much so that my wife was jokingly worried he was silently judging her English, lol).

Great Anticipation & Spotting: He knows wildlife behavior inside out and can accurately predict their movements to position the vehicle perfectly ahead of time. Once, he drove us quite a distance away, set up his position, and told us to watch a specific gap where a leopard was likely to emerge. We had our cameras ready, and sure enough, the leopard walked right out! Thanks to him, we didn't end up with just photos of animals walking away.

"Eagle-Eye" Vision: He is a master at spotting animals from a distance. Even better than other top-tier guides, he could identify the sex of the animals right on the spot (we couldn't independently verify it, but it sounded super impressive!). He didn't need to take a photo and zoom in to guess like others do.

Photography-Savvy Positioning: Frank mentioned he has guided multiple photography tours, and it really shows. He understands lighting direction well and proactively repositions the vehicle accordingly. When he noticed I preferred low-angle compositions, he went out of his way to find parking spots that accommodated low-angle shots—a huge plus! (Although reviewing my shots on my R5 Mark II later revealed that tall grass still occasionally messed with the autofocus, his effort was 10/10).

Fantastic, well-organized safari with great wildlife spotting and reliable service
5/5

We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Lappet Faced Safaris. Our guide Noel was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He delivered fantastic commentary, helped us spot so many amazing wild animals, and kept the vehicle clean and comfortable every day. All arrangements were smooth and dependable. We highly recommend this operator for your Tanzania safari trip.

It was a very enjoyable trip! We were always lucky, and our wishes always came true. We had great travel companions and a great guide, and a responsible company. As for the price, it varied depending on your budget. Although there were a few minor issues along the way, they were all responded to and resolved promptly.

5/5

Overall, our trip to Kenya was fantastic. The itinerary was excellent, and they handled a few hotel issues very promptly and efficiently. Our guide was also great; he automatically introduced us to the animals we saw, even though our English isn't great, haha. Jack patiently explained everything to us. I also noticed the vehicle was spotless every day, and they provided drinking water. Unfortunately, we didn't see any leopards, so we'll have to go another time. It was truly a breathtaking and unforgettable trip!
