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.

Dream Adventure
I can’t even begin to write how Lappet Faced Safari exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect from the accommodations to the game drives. Francisco crafted a wonderful itinerary. He answered all my questions and was very clear with instructions. Michael met us at the airport. He let us know where the next place to stand and he was spot on. We had a very up close view. We spent the next 6 days with Michael our game driver. We can’t say enough about him. He is a gem of a person and his experience with game drives speaks volumes. We always had the best views. He always knew the habits and behaviors of the animals so we had amazing views especially of elephants. I told him they must know him. He is the elephant whisperer. He went over our itinerary the previous evening and in the morning. He also navigated the roads like a champ. We spent time asking Francisco all sorts of questions and we had a good time chatting and getting to know each other. We miss him. We especially can’t say enough about the Landcruiser. Upgrade to this vehicle if you can. It was comfortable and durable during some very bumpy roads. We look forward to our next trip and definitely using Lappet Faced Safaris again!

Fantastic Safari Plan
We had a great time in the national park, saw many animals and beautiful nature. Our driver Michael was knowledgeable and could answer all our questions and took us to nice viewing spots.

The most wonderful tour ever
We were really impressed by the great nature of africa, especially luckily we saw male lions sitting under a tree.
All of the accommodations arranged by the tour were much beyond our expectations. The guide was very kind, professional, and trustworthy. The tour team responded to our questions in a timely manner and to the point. Even when our luggage was lost in transit, they helped us and managed to get and send it all the way to our place in safari.

Hassle Free Ever
I contacted Lappet Faced Safaris at short notice when I had a Uganda trip coming up. I had shopped around various tour providers and most seemed to offer the same places with little real differentiation. I had a quick chat with Lappet Faced Safaris and they put together a package to suit us. What I liked about it was all of the places were very unique and I hadn't come across them during any of my other research. Everything from then on was handled very simply. We had two nights at Into Wild Africa which is probably the best place I've stayed at in my life in serengeti

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.

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.
