They made our trip to be unforgettable in our honeymoon in the wilderness.!
We did a 7-day safari with lappet faced safaris for our honeymoon in August 2022. From the initial contact, Francisco was incredibly helpful in customizing the trip based on our desires. For example, we wanted to travel to Northern Serengeti to see the river crossing, and to ensure we didn't loose a day for travel, Francisco arranged a flight out of Lobo airport. Lappet faced safaris was the only tour provider who was willing to arrange this. The accommodations were also incredible.
The safari itself was a once in a lifetime experience! Our guide, Noel, made us feel very welcome, he was incredibly kind and SO SO knowledgeable (about wildlife and Tanzania's history etc). He did everything he could to ensure we had the best experience possible and that we saw so much amazing wildlife. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central & Northern Serengeti. We saw the big 5 (including two sightings of a black rhino), 10 cheetahs, and >5000 wildebeests crossing the Mara river.
Absolutely unforgettable experience! We highly recommend lappet faced safaris!

A wonderful Experience
Charles is THE MAN! A wonderful guide whom is extremely talented at pointing out animals while giving highly detailed naturalist information about all the species we have seen; as well as a top notch driver with no equal able to drive the safari vehicle in even the most troublesome of terrains in order for us to thoroughly enjoy our safari experience and get the best camera shots we could. Charles even helped us identify some of the harder to find organisms such as the Serval Cat, hidden leopards, a badger, Black Rhinos, many many birds and insects and flowers alike; as well as the Lappet Faced Vulutres. My wife and I were part of a 14 person group that Lappet Faced Safaris was easily able to handle, accommodate and entertain while on safari across some of Tanzania’s most beautiful scenery and parks. Francisco took care of all needed logistics of luggage movement as well as helping us to navigate the crazy hectic mess that is Covid testing and park entrance requirements. I highly recommend Lappet Faced Safaris! Tanzania is open! And has the infrastructure for tourism! GO! ENJOY!

For a dream vacation, trust Lappet Faced Safaris!
Fransisco organized a private safari for our family of 7 (5 children aged 2-12) to Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro, Serengeti NP, with a follow-on stay in Zanzibar. This was the most phenomenal experience we could imagine!!
From the onset of planning the trip he was responsive and listened to our many requests. To an easy arrival/airport pickup and transport in his Land Cruiser with plenty of snacks and drinks that he kept replenished throughout. To safari—Francisco knew how to set the days accordingly to allow optimal viewing of wildlife and plenty of R&R for the kids at each of our lodges’ pools. He always knew where to find the wildlife and was extremely knowledgeable as a modern Masai; teaching us culture and answered all the animal questions we could think of. He selected accommodations in the Serena line which proved perfect for hospitality, food, family friendliness and stunning beauty!
The Zanzibar extension was the perfect conclusion to our African experience and left us refreshed and ready to return to the real-world.
There are many big agency tours available for Tanzania safari, but you will benefit more from the personal attention of Lappet Faced Safaris. We could not be happier with our dream vacation and wouldn’t entrust anyone else!

Outstanding Safaris
I fell in love with Africa as a teenager. Fifty years later I took my first trip which was managed beautifully by Lappet Faced Safaris. Francisco, CEO, was exceptionally responsive to our requests. We told him what we wanted to see, gave him a budget, and he designed the perfect trip. He was very responsive to questions, and happy to do any tweaking we needed to do in order to fit our schedule.
He provided us with the perfect guide. I am not overstating. Our guide Michael was extremely skilled, very knowledgeable, and lots of fun! After we all loosened up, we laughed our way across Tanzania.
We tried to stay in tented camps for the most part, which was a good choice for us. If you want to hear animals at night, and enhance your experience, this is the way to go. I never once felt unsafe.
We are traveling with Lappet Faced Safaris again in August 2021, going back to see more of Tanzania. In 2022 Lappet Faced Safaris will take us to Kenya.
I would let Lappet Faced Safaris take me anywhere!

Understood what we wanted and delivered 100 percent
of all the tour companies we contacted Lappet Faced Safaris was by far the most responsive, and understood what we wanted and tailored the safari perfectly to us. and questions and changes were dealt with in a timely fashion and we headed to Tanzania very confident in the arrangements. On arrival we were not disappointed, and as soon as the safari started we knew we had made the correct choice. Our Guide (Everest) was a perfect match for us, and the 12 days we spent in the bush with him were a dream. There was never the feeling of being rushed through anything, we could stop and observe the animals and birds at will, with Everest filling it in with his years of knowledge of the wildlife. All of the accommodations were well located in or near the parks and were almost too nice. I only wish we had had more time over all, and that was after 12 days! There is some much to see and experience in Tanzania and we just scratched the surface, but even that would not have been possible without the excellent services provided by Lappet Faced Safaris

Really Enjoyed Safari with Lappet Faced Safaris
Had a great experience with them. Noel, our guide, went above and beyond a number of times. The airline lost the luggage for multiple people in our group, and without our guide and Lappet Faced Safaris we would have had a tough time getting it back. They contacted the airline, and hand delivered all of their luggage while we were in the middle of our safari. We didn't miss a minute of our awesome safari because of it.
We also got to see some amazing animals throughout the week, and they accommodated our requests to search for specific animals. We got extremely close to many lions, and even saw a recent kill. Overall great experience and the lodges we stayed at were great as well.

Perfect
Francisco and the Lappet Faced Safaris are just amazing, many thanks for perfectly arranging and executing our incredible 7 day holiday in Zanzibar. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves discovering so much at Zanzibar.
We found out about Lappet Faced Safaris from the positive reviews you have safaribookings and tripadvisor and we have not been disappointed. We noted your attention to detail and passion to ensure that our stay was smooth and that we got the best time.
We spent 3 days exploring stonetown with our brilliant guide Juma, whose intricate knowledge of Zanzibar was amazing during the stone town, prison island, spice and Jozani forest tours. He then drove us to Matemwe beach where we had been booked in the spectacular Matemwe Lodge where we spent the next four days relaxing in the secluded beach.
This has been an Amazing holiday, a big thank you to Lappet Faced Safaris for making it happen!!!
Highly recommended!!!
