Unforgettable safari trip
I highly recommend Lappet Faced Safari. The itinerary and meals were well-organized, the pricing was transparent, and WeChat communication was convenient. The guide was very experienced and explained the animals to us. He spoke a little Chinese and was able to see 50 or 60 species of animals, including the Big Five and a cheetah family. We witnessed wildebeest crossing a river, tigers devouring zebras, and vultures feeding on wildebeest. We even fell asleep to the sound of horses neighing at camp... It was a truly unforgettable trip! I look forward to returning for calving season!

The communication was very efficient, the service was very good, the guide was very responsible and very nice, I am very grateful to this team.
I searched for many local tour operators on safaribooking, and finally chose Lappet Faced Safaris because the early communication with them was very efficient, the response was very fast, and they understood my needs very well. The payment method was also very reasonable, the price was also very suitable, and when I asked to change the hotel, they also informed me of the price very quickly, and I got some very good hotels. We kept in touch during our departure and landing in Tanzania and customs.
During the trip, our guide Mike was a guide with ten years of experience. He had very good eyesight and could see animals from a long distance. We saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and zebras in Tarangire on the first day, and we got close to lions in the Serengeti and saw tens of thousands of wildebeests gathering. We stayed in the super beautiful Lion Paw Hotel in Ngorongoro Crater. And Lappet Faced Safaris also told the hotel that we were on a honeymoon trip, and the hotel also prepared a surprise for us very considerately, which was really heartwarming.
I look forward to taking our children to the African savannah again in the future.

smooth operation, great experience
we started to chat with francisco about our early june safari a few months ahead. he was prompt at providing an itinerary for a 7 day itinerary. as we did more research and comparison shopping, we decided to go with his proposal because he was always quick at answering/discussing our questions and ready to fine-tuning our itinerary with our requests. in addition, his package was the most reasonable on the same itinerary and lodging. we finally settled on a 6 day safari because we were short a day coming from london.
on arrival at jro, we were greeted and taken to their office. we had a chance to discuss our tour package before we settled the balance. the next day our guide, noel, met us at our lodge early in the morning, officially kicking off our safari. we toured tarangeire, ngorongoro, and serengeti, seeing lots of wild animals. noel took a good care of us while always on the radio trying to get the clues for rare animal sightings. he is also very knowledgeable about the animals and plants. it's a patience game, long drives every day. but the experience is rewarding. we really liked our two nights at that lone camp in the middle of the serengeti, with animals roaming in a distance. you don't get to experience that every day!

Amazing 7 day safari
We had the best time ever on the 7 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Eric organized everything perfectly and was always available when needed. You can trust him on organizing your safari with your eyes closed!
Our guide Noeli was amazing, he has a lot of experience as a safari guide and has vast knowledge on animals, plants, ecosystems, the culture.. He was able to answer our questions. He spotted so many animals and birds for us, and was very patient while we photographed everything. We even got to see the honey badger!! We really recommend going with Noeli, thanks a lot again for taking us to those beautiful places.
I really recommend this tour company and would definitely do it again!

A Must-Choose Safari Company!
A Must-Choose Safari Company!
And to my Chinese friends "Choose this one! Chinese people don’t cheat Chinese people."
We had an absolutely amazing trip to Tanzania, and choosing Lappet Faced Safaris was the best decision we made! Everything was perfectly organized, and they went above and beyond to make our journey unforgettable.
Our guide, Joseph, was incredible—super friendly, extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, culture, and history, and always making sure we had the best experience. He could spot animals from miles away, shared fascinating stories, and even prepared a Chinese book on local animals to help us understand better. He also knew so many local guides, hotel staff, and restaurant waiters, which made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. Plus, his driving skills were excellent—I usually get carsick, but never once felt uncomfortable with him behind the wheel!
One of the best things about Lappet Faced Safaris was their fair pricing and flexibility. They only required a small deposit, and we paid the rest in cash upon arrival. The trip was all-inclusive, and we only had to cover souvenirs and tips. They found us amazing hotels at great prices, always looking for ways to save money for us. Due to our uncertainty, we changed our itinerary more than four times, and they were always patient and accommodating.
Thanks to Joseph and Lappet Faced Safaris, this was more than just a vacation—it was an adventure of a lifetime. If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, this is the company to go with. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to travel with them again!
