Incredible animal observations, I've never been so close before, sometimes my breath caught
I've done several safaris (e.g. in Kenya, South Africa and Namibia) but I've never been so close to the animals before! My 6 days at the beginning of March in Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara were well organized. I really liked the mixture of lodges and tented camps, there was warm water everywhere and the food was ok everywhere. The car was comfortable, clean and there was always enough drinking water. We were out and about at the time of the big animal migration, there were many animal babies to watch everywhere. Francesco gave me enough time to see and photograph everything in peace. With the huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and antelope we could sometimes drive right through. Francesco and our driver Mike both gave me lots of information and got me up close and personal with the animals. Well done Mike! Sometimes lions and elephants came right up to the car, so close you could touch it! We even saw all of the big 5 including a leopard mother with her two cubs. Thank you for this great safari! The organization of the hot air balloon ride was also arranged at a reasonable price - this is a must-do experience when in the Serengeti. It's worth every euro! I would highly recommend Lappet Faced Safaris. You will have the best time of your life!

Awesome!
It was everything we imagined and much more! Being able to see all the beautiful animals in their natural habitat was magical. Francisco (tour organizer) did a great job piecing the itinerary for us and answered every email I had with questions in a timely manner. Our guide (Emanuel Ayo) was simply amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable, punctual, patient, helpful and most importantly PASSIONATE about what he does and about his beautiful country. Because of him our safari experience was that much more memorable. A few things that need to be worked on are food variety during our stay and having hot water more regularly for showers. Other than that I would recommend this company 100% and especially Emanuel as a guide.
Perfect Tanzania Safari
It was the best trip we have ever been on! We spent 2 amazing days in Ndutu area and in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Our driver/guide, Aman, is extremely knowledgeable, speaks several languages and knows everything about the country and the animals. Thanks to him we almost managed to see the Big Five. We only missed the leopard, but we promise to come back and find them! We were searching for adventure and we found it every single day, because we have seen a lot of action in the wildlife. We have been telling everyone that they NEED to do a safari at least once in their lifetime and I will certainly tell them to do it through Lappet Faced Safaris in Tanzania. Please contact Francisco who is a Tanzanian Safari Specialist and a Team Leader at Lappet Faced Safaris. I really couldn't recommend it enough and if you can you should absolutely request Aman as your driver/guide! He is the best!

Once in a lifetime experience
We did a safari tour of 8 days including Serengeti with Noel. We really enjoyed our trip. Noel made it a great experience for us. He explained all about the animals and the nature. You could really feel the passion he has concerning the nature. He answered every question we had in detail. Furthermore he was always motivated to show us as much as possible and we had a lot of fun with him. We can really recommend lappet faced safari- especially with Noel
Extremely exceeded our expectations
My wife and I, had a great time of 8/9 days trip with lappet faced safaris to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and it was a great experience to speak the truth! Noel was an excellent and experienced guide loaded with a lots of knowledge of the wildlife and understood the total culture of the region. He continuously explained us everything we wanted to know about the region and the wildlife. He also knew where to find animals all the time he was asked. As a person he was a really great travel companion in a trip like that. We saw the Big 5 and a lot of other amazing animals and very diverse landscapes. The accommodation on the trip was excellent, especially the Into Wild Africa Tented Camp in Serengeti where we slept in the national park itself, had a luxurious tent, great food and very friendly staffs.

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.
