A memorable journey for a lifetime 💙 - This was my first time travelling in Africa. Together with my Mum and two aunties we travelled as a family group of four. Generally it was an educative, cheering and lifetime memorable journey. All of us loved the safari. A genuine big thank to Lappet Faced Safari and our guide Frank. The trip was not only well arranged, safe and sound, but also full of luck. At the trip planning stage, the company general manager Francisco was very patient to answer all kinds of questions and made adjustments according to my demands as effective as possible. The cost breakdown was highly detailed. Before starting the trip, I had some concerns because my mum and aunties whose average age are nearly 60 and do not understand English. I expected that the trip might be a bit uneasy. But our guide Frank turned out to be an easy-going guy. He is so nice and got on well with three ladies. Even they don’t really understand each other’s language, there was no barrier at all :) And the car had been kept clean and tidy every morning before we get on. The ladies often praised “Frank你真棒!” (Frank you are so reliable!) During the safari, Frank could always discover those special animals that we never had such sharp eyes to notice🤣. We managed to spot the big five without much difficulties. Apart from those, we also spotted some rare creatures such as cheetah cubs, honey badger, serval, lappet faced eagle (safari company logo :D), steppe eagle, etc. Frank is absolutely professional. He introduced me all the animals alone the way in great details. Sometimes he would carefully double check the bird species in a beautiful birds illustration book. The safari was full of joy and surprise. We enjoyed every second in the wild nature of Tanzania so much that we even feel reluctant to back to city life🥲. P.S. I fulfilled my wish —— to make my own work of animal illustrations! Check them out 👇👇👇

Very Wonderful Safari Trip - Lappet Faced Safari left a very good impression on me about Safari. When discussing the itinerary, Francisco responded very promptly and provided a lot of useful suggestions; during the entire trip, there were no extra costs or extra services. During this trip, we are very grateful to our guide Mike, who worked tirelessly to help us find animals and introduced various animal knowledge, making us have a very enjoyable trip; we also booked a ride from Arusha to Kilimanjaro For the airport shuttle bus, thank you to Noel for his superb driving skills; and thank you to Francisco for helping us book a fruit lunchbox in advance so that we did not go hungry. We were very satisfied with this trip.

Sunset Safari Splendor - Lappet Faced Safari took the traditional safari experience to new heights with their sunset tour. The colors of the African sky painted a breathtaking backdrop to our wildlife encounters. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while surrounded by nature's wonders was a mesmerizing and unforgettable spectacle.

5 Extraordinary Days Safari in Tanzania - We spent 5 fantastic days with Francisco de Lappet Faced Safari. The planned route was perfect. Francisco is very attentive, answer all questions. We observed all the unmissable animals. The accommodation he found us was top (special mention for the 2 nights in tent at Serengeti). We see that Francisco is very passionate about his profession. He does not hesitate to make available books to find the animals observed. In addition, it drives very well and carefully despite the very difficult roads. We highly recommend Lappet Faced Safari!!

Best emotions !!! (and this is from 1/2 countries of the world :))) - We flew to Tanzania using a tour to Zanzibar(lifehack).Target-safari.Stopped at this company and did not regret.In the process of tripping through the parks (took 7 days of which 1 day of arrival,1 day of departure and 5 days on the trip itself) found a number of advantages .Negotiating the price and itinerary we negotiated with Francisco, who answered all questions quickly and clearly and then enjoyed the company of our guide-Naba. Saw more than we could imagine. Noub is a high-quality driver, sympathetic, responsible and very cultured person, who knows everything within his profession as a guide, as well as many things we were interested in learning about the new country for us.I advise everyone to choose this company and enjoy at least 4-5 days to see everything you want.The most important thing you will have to learn is that even if at the initial stage you do not like (dirt, insects, temperature changes and all kinds of things) , then it more than compensates for the emotions from what you saw! Special thanks to our guide! Nab - you're the best! You always found the best angles for photos and videos, you weren't afraid to drive the extra kilometers so that we could all see what we had planned, you were always smiley and friendly and even saved other tourists ,helping to repair someone else's car etc. Nab ,if we manage to return to the migration of antelope to Kenya,we will definitely ask to meet us . Summary : Folks compare and choose yourself ,but! we are left with the impression that we are lucky and Lappet Faced Safaris-the best professionals!

Beautiful experience!! - We booked our 4 days / 3 nights safari thanks to Joseph whose contact details had been sent to us by a friend. We discussed and organized our safari via WhatsApp several months before our departure. He was very available, answering all our questions and reassuring us. It was a pleasure to talk to him. He organized our trip perfectly! From our landing at the airport until returning to the airport. We did 2 days at Tarangire Park and 1 day at Ngorongoro Crater. It was a magical experience! Philbert was our guide for this safari, he was extraordinary! We met a wonderful person, kind, smiling, who shared his culture and knowledge of animals. We had a great time with him. And we ended this wonderful experience with an afternoon at the Chamka hot spring also organized by Joseph because our return flight was late at night. With my husband we strongly advise you to trust the Lappet faced Safari to organize a dream stay! Thanks to Philbert and Joseph, our honeymoon is a success thanks to you!

Highly recommended - Knowledgeable, caring and thoughtful guide. Franscisco put us in the right place to see and photograph a wide range of animals. His encyclopedic knowledge enhanced our experience. He was always considerate to the animals and the environment. Truly wonderful experience. We want to come back with him.
