Expectations exceeded
Everything was great. Communication with Francisco/ lappet faced safaris was fast and uncomplicated, we got a really good prize and all went smoothly. Pick up at the airport was good, we got a very warm welcome. We were taken good care of before and during the Safari. It was very well planed and thought through but at the same time our Guide always found a way to make it the best possible experience for our group. We saw so many animals in this impressive landscape thanks to our skilled and sharpeyed guide. Also nice was that our Guide Gabriel could speak german and english, he has a good knowledge of the wildlife, nature and life in Tanzania, so we learned a lot and had really interesting conversations. And after experiencing so much during the day we could relax in the evenings and enjoy very delicious freshly cooked food, prepared by our cook.
This Safari exceeded all my expectations.
In the end I can say, it felt more like traveling with friends than just doing a safari tour and it was really sad to say good bye. It's safe to say I would love to come back!

Amazing safari - big recommendation
We had such a wonderful time with Lappet Faced Safari and were completely happy with our choice. The organisation and the airport pickup went super easy and they are very reliable. Gabriel, our guide, was speaking German which was fantastic. Their knowledge was impressive and it felt like an all-inclusive trip because every detail was organised. All in all I can recommend Francisco and his team warmly to everyone who plans to do a safari in Tanzania.

They are the big five of Safari tours
We had a wonderful time during our safari Tour with lappet faced safaris! We didn‘t know what to expect since this would be our first experience but our expectations weren‘t just fulfilled but exceeded!
We were warmly welcomed by Fransisco and our Tour Guide Gabriel and were always looked after. When there was a Problem he could help us immediately and was very professional. The communication was very uncomplicated and he responded very quickly!
Gabriel is an excellent and well experienced Guide. We were brought to the best Spots to see all the animlas, the beautiful landscape and some spectacular sunrises. He was incredible spotting the animals from very far distances so that we were very lucky to see all the Big five and many more!
He is a good driver and we felt very safe during the whole time. He even speaks fluent german and knows all the German names of the animals which was great. We learned a lot about the wildlife, the Environment and the area.
The food during our trip which was cooked by our friendly cook was also very delicious.
We had an outstanding experience during our five days and it felt like saying goodbye to Friends when we were leaving.
We will keep it in very good memory and hope to Return one day!
Couldn’t recommend more!

Unforgettable Experience
This lifetime trip was my graduation gift from my mother and Lappet Faced Safaris facilitated our Safari experience between Kenya and Tanzania to make our trip memorable and unforgettable. Our 6 days Kenya’s “Masai Mara” guide Joseph was very professional. Joseph was punctual, experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent driver. Thank you to Joseph, My mother and I learned to be patient and wait for the right moment to see the behavior on animals in their habitat. We saw and learn a lot about animals in their environment. Our trip was incredible. We can highly recommend Joseph as a tour guide and Lappet Faced Safaris as a reputable company.

Phenomenal Safari Experience
Lappet faced safari provided an excellent safari for the two of us. It was very well planned. Communication with Francisco was excellent. He was very accommodating in terms of arranging payment, which I was worried about due to Covid. The company is very reliable and excellent. The driver Gabriel was truly exceptional, he was always in the right place and time to see all the animals. We saw cheetahs, a black rhino, lions, a leopard, giraffes, hippos including baby hippos and many more. We also saw a family of around 70 elephants including baby elephants and we were the only car surrounded by all the elephants crossing the road! Gabriel also arranged an excellent plan to see sunrise and breakfast with a view in Serengeti Np. Gabriel is an excellent driver, clearly very experienced, kind and easy going. Although we visited several parks which were far away, Gabriel is a very reliable and good driver who got us places quickly and safely. We previously did a safari in Kenya, however, the one in Tanzania with Lappet Faced Safaris was much better.

Amazing Experience
We had such a great experience with lappet faced safaris… Since we got in contact with them to arrange our safari, they did everything they could to fulfill our wishes and needs. They organized everything in detail and guaranteed an amazing experience.
We simply loved everything: from the safari itself, to the lodges we stayed, we came home amazed and planning to return as soon as possible. But we have to say it, what really made this trip so great was our wonderful guide, Aman
He is a real gentleman and one of the most wonderful persons we ever met. He has a deep knowledge about Tanzania, about the animals, about Africa, about life, and he shares it with passion.
He made our safari and our trip much better and it was a great pleasure to learn and to spend all those days with him. More than a guide, he became a friend. When we return, we want him on board again with us, as well of lappet faced safaris.
Customer centric tour operater that will care for you
We chose for Lappet Faced Safaris to be our tour operator when climbing Mt. Meru. We were well taken care of before and after our trek including a small city tour by Francisco. The crew around the lead guide and the porters were very welcoming from the start and left us with great memories from the trek. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Trip
I just got back from our trip last week and cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had. Francisco planned a wonderful trip and our guide Godbless was a wealth of information. I will keep singing their praises to every traveler I meet. A trip to Tanzania makes my other travel pale in comparison. Thank you Lappet Faced Safaris for a great adventure

Francisco, our tour operator, was always very responsive to any communication that was sent over the
There were absolutely no surprises on this trip. Everything went very smoothly as planned. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania and until we boarded our plane to return home, our tour operator was readily available and ensured we were well care for. Even the first night, our tour operator made sure that the hotel would have a late dinner for us as our flight didn't arrive until 10:00 p.m. Our accommodations we're very comfortable and equaled the quality as presented in a brochure. The lodges had beautiful grounds, roomy accommodations and wonderful meals.
Our guide was wonderful and very responsive to our needs. Additionally, it was important to him that we had a great experience. I loved the fact that he always prepared us for the next day's game plan. The game drives were wonderful; but in addition, loved the cultural aspect as well. Meeting the Maasai, Hadzabe and the Datoga tribes was one of the major highlights of the trip. Especially, the opportunity to go hunting with the Hadzabe tribe. It is something not to be missed.
As for the value of this trip, I must say it was very reasonably priced. I really felt we got our money's worth.
I usually read tour reviews of other travelers but typically do not write any myself. However, I chose to this time because I was very pleased with the communication planning the trip as well as the trip itself....got to see the BIG 5!!!

Amazing! Experience of a lifetime
Our safari adventure was truly amazing. We got into the heart of spectacular Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara. The animals were all around us. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and came home with fabulous memories and photographs. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. He spotted animals across the wild plains and anticipated our every need. It could not have been a better week!
