I recommend this company
We expected more communications and info with the driver/ Guide. Many times we had to ask.. from himself did not come much. That is all the Negativety
The organization was good, we were surprised that we slept the first night in a lodge, expected 3 nights in a tent. The cook gave his best, cooked always more then we needed, made veg. and not veg. Menues. He took his time, but surprised us everytime positively. He made us even Pizza and Pop corn..A very nice man.
The guide took well care of us, the first thing he did was taking care of our tents, that we are comfortable and safe..The car was old, but it worked, good tires and overall a good experience. At the Ngorongo park he ordered us to be at 5.30 at the table for breakfast and at 6 am ro be in the car.Thanks to that we saw a wonderful sunrise at the crater...All other companies came to late for that..The guide was not lazy or to comfortable for anything, even asked if we need drinks once he had to leave the camping to get a matresss for the cook..Besides the price was good.We were 4 in a car and had so plenty space.

Excellent Experience
I used Lappet Faced Safaris to organize our safari in Tanzania and we couldn't have chosen a better Tour Operator. From my first email, Francisco was extremely helpful and He guided me, listening to my every need and desires, in order to create a custome-made safari, which would fulfil our dreams.
Once in Tanzania, our driver Deo was waiting for us at the airport and he has proven himself a great and very knowledgeable travel companion; thanks to him, we saw so many animals in all kind of situation. We went to Lake Manyara, to Ndutu, to Ngorongoro and to Serengeti. Each of these parks were wonderful and all the lodges and tended camps suggested by Francisco were just outstanding.
So do not hesitate if you want to have a superb experience in Tanzania and enjoy a problemless safari and stay, Lappet Faced Safaris will do everything to help you!

We could always rely on our guide in order to be safe and to be well informed.
We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the country and its enormous variety of animals. The route we took to get through Uganda and the National Parks we were in are really spectacular. The service provided in the lodges we stayed in was fabulous, although you could offer more regional meals to offer us opportunities to taste the Ugandian cuisine. However we didn't like the last two days when we were at lake Mutanda, had to go the whole way back to take part in the gorilla tracking and the golden monkeys tracking and after that we still had to go to Rwakobo Rock Lodge. The part of the group that tracked the gorillas were back at 12.30 p.m., but those who were looking for the golden monkeys didn't come back before 3.30 p.m. There shouldn't be anything else to be done on a day with a schedule like that. And our stay at Rwakobo Rock Lodge was just for passing the night. The place however is far too beautiful as to not having the time to enjoy it.

Very well organized and interesting private safari tours in different National Parks with family.
We did the first 4days private safari together with our son and his wife to Tsavo East, Thaita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Tsavo West. We startet from Diani Beach and ended our safari in Nairobi according to our special wish. The Lodges chosen by KingTomondo Safaris were all excellent. Said, our driver knew the places where to spot the wild living animals very well and so we had a very interesting trip. The car was comfortable and Said had always enough water on board. We can recommend KingTomondo for a Safari to this NPs of Kenya.
From Nairobi, my husband and I startet for a second 3days safari to Masai Mara organized by KingTomondo with Said as driver. It was obvious that KingTomondo is located in Mombasa. We had the impression that Said knew this NP less well than the 3 in East Kenia. The travel differed from the one described in the offered program. We departed from Nairobi at 11am (in the program was offered a departure short after lunch) and were already back to Nairobi at 2pm in the afternoon of the 3rd day, because we had to leave the NP before 8am instead as planed after lunch. The problem Said encountered with the park organization and the 3 stops for tire change were a little disappointing. But Said did his best to save the situation. And so finally we also enjoyed this second safari. We can recommend KingTomondo Safaris to everyone who wants to see the Kenya NPs and enjoy the variety of landscapes of Kenya.

Amazing experience
We went private safari 4-days Serengeti and Ngorogoro. If i could do it one more time, i’d go only Serengeti, because you actually see everything you need to see there. Ngorogoro is beautiful by the nature but the animals you see are so far away.. Serengeti is huge park, so expect a long drive with no animals , but after you arrive to the right spot you realise it was worth the wait. We slept in camps that weren’t protected from the animals so during the night you stay in the tent making no noise because it’s dangerous! An amazing experience for me were the buffalos around our tents which filled me up with adrenaline. Thomas was amazing guide, he knows a lot of things but you gotta ask him and he’ll tell you everything! But you could do this 4 days program actually in 3 days.

A Very Good Experience
Raja tours was responsive to our inquiry. We made at least 5 inquiries during our search and Raja seemed to be the most reasonable. We sorta went blindly due to our short turnaround but ultimately it went better than we thought.
The tour guide and driver (Hassan) was a pure delight. He picked us up at home and got us to Selous Game Park. It was about a 5 hour drive there and back to Dar Es Salaam. We stopped along the way which was a bit odd for us during COVID but we went along with it. It was fine and we stayed distant. The game drive my was awesome. We saw everything, lions, hippos, giraffes, you name it.
The lodge we stayed at was spectacular. The Selous Lodge. It was much better than we expected. Very clean and inviting. The decorations were great and the bar and restaurant were so well kept. 5 stars. The swimming pool was a nice surprise. Quick mention for everyone is that the power goes out at 2230 each night and the heat inside the rooms was heat punishing. It was tough to sleep but fine nonetheless. The food was great and so were the people.
All in all, it was wonderful.

Amazing safari once in a lifetime experience
The locations/lodges were amazing beyond the expectations.
Drivers were nice Sahidi and Habibu were great guys.
Anita was easy to communicate and give the information on time.
Downside they charge a bank fee for payments with credit card of about 4-5% that was never mentioned.
In addition tips are mandatory and established amounts per day so a suggestion is to include it in the final price to don't run out of cash during the trip
Other than that everything was amazing every single day.
This time of the year was full of animals the migration is impressive and a lot animals are in calving season.

EXEMPLARY SERVICE
We had our reservations over travelling out of the USA amidst the pandemic. However, the thought of missing out on the Mara Migration outweighed our fears. On recommendation, we settled on AAS as our itinerary planners. From landing at The JKIA to spending the night in Nairobi and later travelling down to Maasai Mara via Narok, the trip was well planned and executed. I would highly recommend AAS.

Beautiful Kenya, Magical Kenya
Kenya safaris the world’s most beautiful destination. It has every natural advantage. Wrapped around the equator, it has the most extraordinary range of landscape, from the Indian Ocean to the Turkana Desert, the Great Rift Valley to the forests of Mt Elgon and the soaring highlands of Mt Kenya. The country even shares the great wildebeest migration with Tanzania, as some 2 million plains animals circle the Serengeti Plains, which reach north into Kenya as the Masai Mara. I can go on and on and on to share by words how beautiful Kenya is. Through kenamoti we had the chance to tour such a beautiful country. Love beautiful country.
