They prepare everything for my trip! They helped me to decide what to see and what not to see.
5/5

I’m sorry that I press five star button, I had prefer to press more than 10 stars. Anyway what I know five stars is best number that is why I decide to press all stars for Lappet Faced Safaris. My trip was awesome. It fill my trip so happy by visiting beautiful nature of Tanzania and is probably the most beautiful place on the planet, but more importantly Lappet Faced Safaris arranged my access to the country’s wonders so professional.
Lappet Faced Safaris prepare everything for my trip! They helped me to decide what to see and what not to see. They arranged tours that took me behind the scenes for many of the National Parks and game reserves of Tanzania. They sent me on adventures that were beautiful, thrilling, Maasai traditional dancing and brought me at the top of Mountain Kilimanjaro. Then, after my various day-long excursions, we were able to relax in lovely hotels and eat amazing food.
How did they know my tastes so well? Maybe magic, maybe the attentiveness and time that they devoted to working with me. At the outset of our relationship, they spent several hours talking with me about what I wanted to do and then planning an itinerary. For the next few months they worked on the reservations and other arrangements for all of my requests. Most of those communications took place by email and facebook, and they were very responsive all along the way. Right before I left, I had a ask all of my questions call with them, and they presented to me with a detailed, day by day itinerary. By the time I left for my trip, I felt that everything had been taken care of, and all of my what if worries had been anticipated.
i couldn’t ask for a better travel experience overall, or a better experience with a Lappet Faced Safaris Our sincere thanks to Lappet Faced Safaris and the whole his team.
I love to trip with Lappet Faced Safaris once again

Phenomenal safari and safari guide!
5/5

The safari itself and mostly as a result of our incredible safari guide, Francisco, was fantastic. We saw incredible animals up close, we saw the Tanzanian countryside, we learned about the people of this country and we were tented and wined and dined in a truly spectacular fashion. The most important part of our learning was thanks to Francisco, who was eager to teach and also eager to hear about our lives. I felt like we departed having been in the presence of a good friend who provided us with an education and experience of a lifetime!

Great company delivering a mind-blowing experience
5/5

From initial communications with Francisco, everything was great. Organising a custom itinerary for a private tour and keeping in regular contact with us throughout.
From using my branding on the vehicle (unrequested, a very nice touch), to collecting us at the airport and transferring us to the hotel.
Amani the guide was a great host, helping out with issues on check-in at the hotel, his eyesight (without binoculars) was incredible, spotting animals from distances we needed binoculars to identify!
We picked the food up at the start of the safari from local suppliers, the chef created some remarkable meals from scratch while camping, incredible what Cabello managed to create.
Everything was organised perfectly, we had some incredible animal experiences and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lappet Faced Safaris to anyone and everyone.

From the initial booking the communication was consistent and the company was very proactive in ensuring our needs were met. This was the first time in visiting Arusha National Park and it was truly amazing. We were taken care of throughout the whole day and was a memorable experience. I have no hesitation in promoting Lappet Faced Safari they provided an exceptional experience for us and we're already planning our next trip! Thanks to you all.

A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE IN TANZANIA
5/5

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.

It was the best trip of our life!
5/5

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.
