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!

Excellent Safaris tour experience
I found lappet faced safaris in safaris booking. Choose this agency is really a great decision in this trip. The agency can use wechat, it’s can always get the quick feedback instead for email communication. We booked private tour, all the schedule can be changed, the start time and end time can be revised to consistent with my flight, which can make use of my holiday.
The detailed instructions and a clear breakdown of the budget make me choose this agency.
It’s really a amazing and unforgettable trip to Tanzania safaris, in my six days safaris, we see all “big five”. We see lion 6 times, 2 times leopard, 3 times cheetah. We can near the animal only 1-2 meters. The big cats are soooooo close and cute. There are many other animal, like elephant, buffalo, impala, giraffe, wildebeest,zebra…
Our guide, Gerald, have rich guiding experience, he is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife.
He always finds the good position to near the animal, “make your camera ready, take the photo/video”, I really love him. To avoid miss the leopard, even when we already back to camp, he drive another 50 mins to let us see it.
The game drive starts from 7:00-8:00am and finished at around 5:00pm, it was not tired and can have a good rest.
Overall, we are highly satisfied with Lappet Faced Safaris and would highly recommend them to others. They provide me an unforgettable safari experience.

It is just perfect.
First of all, we are very satisfied with the trip arranged by the Lapped faced Safaris. During the seven-day trip, we saw the five African tyrants. The rhinoceros, which is the most difficult to see in the love of life, is also seen by us. During the trip, our guide David was very experienced. Even though the road was so muddy on a rainy day, our car did not get stuck in the mud like other teams, which gave us more time to see the animals. At the same time, our itinerary was very reasonable. We had a good amount of relaxation throughout the trip. But we still saw spectacular scenes of lion hunting, wildebeest being born and learning to walk, wildebeest and zebra migration and so on. All of this is very good. I recommend this travel agency to you.

Best safari team i have ever seen
We found recommendations for Lappet Faced on social media while planning our trip. During the planning process, Raymond was very professional and attentive, customizing a detailed itinerary based on our travel plans. As the journey unfolded, we found the arrangements to be very reasonable. The lodges and safari camps he recommended were also very comfortable.
The agency arranged two guides for us: Cliff and Eric. Cliff was an experienced safari ranger who helped us check off all the Big Five from our list, and we even saw lions multiple times and a leopard. Eric was responsible for airport pickup and our activities around Moshi. When we needed to adjust our itinerary in Moshi, Eric and Raymond coordinated seamlessly, arranging a fun hiking trip and a coffee tour for us. They also recommended some great restaurants and cafés.
This trip exceeded our expectations in every way! Lappet Faced may not be a large company, but their pricing is transparent and reasonable. We hope to travel with them again when we come back to climb Mount Kilimanjaro!

a small operator offers expert-guided, personalized safaris with exceptional service
Lappet Faced Safaris is a relatively small operator with a team of 3-4 guides. I booked my trip about two months in advance, which allowed ample time for arrangements. The operator uses WeChat, making it very convenient for Chinese clients to communicate and plan itineraries. They provided detailed instructions and a clear breakdown of the budget, ensuring transparency throughout the process.
When my preferred camp was unavailable, Lappet Faced recommended Moyo Camp as an alternative, which turned out to be an excellent choice.
Our guide, Noel, was exceptional and comes highly recommended. With a degree in wildlife management and nine years of guiding experience, he is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife. His expertise added immense value to the experience. Additionally, Noel’s driving skills were outstanding, which proved crucial during the safari. While we saw many other jeeps stuck in the mud, we never faced such issues thanks to his expertise.
The entire trip was executed strictly according to plan. We communicated our expectations to Noel regarding the animals we hoped to see, and he worked tirelessly to ensure we spotted them all. His dedication and professionalism truly made the experience unforgettable.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Lappet Faced Safaris and would highly recommend them to others. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, and the expertise of guides like Noel make them a top choice for an unforgettable safari experience.

Good experience
Francisco and Mike are very nice and experienced. From the first day we met they, they had everything in control. Although we have some national park entrance issue , but they solve it. And Mike let us saw many animals including lions cheetah elephants and so on. The last day was rainy day but Mike drove car very carefully so we don't have any car stuck problem~ if I come back here, I will choose them again!!!

My safari dream came true
We spent a very satisfying 5 day safari in mid Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro in late January.
When I was doing the initial sorting out, Eric impressed me with quick response, and paying much attention to my need. The breakdown cost of this company was very detailed and clear which helped me to understand what I would pay for this trip, while most other companies I contacted just provided a general cost.
We are lucky to have Alfred as our guide. He is an expert on the flora and fauna in Eastern Africa, and also a very good driver. He always could point out a distant animal or a bird when I couldn't spot anything there. With his guide, I recorded 57 species of animals and birds in our game drive, most of which I never saw or heard before.
