For a dream vacation, trust Lappet Faced Safaris!
Fransisco organized a private safari for our family of 7 (5 children aged 2-12) to Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro, Serengeti NP, with a follow-on stay in Zanzibar. This was the most phenomenal experience we could imagine!!
From the onset of planning the trip he was responsive and listened to our many requests. To an easy arrival/airport pickup and transport in his Land Cruiser with plenty of snacks and drinks that he kept replenished throughout. To safari—Francisco knew how to set the days accordingly to allow optimal viewing of wildlife and plenty of R&R for the kids at each of our lodges’ pools. He always knew where to find the wildlife and was extremely knowledgeable as a modern Masai; teaching us culture and answered all the animal questions we could think of. He selected accommodations in the Serena line which proved perfect for hospitality, food, family friendliness and stunning beauty!
The Zanzibar extension was the perfect conclusion to our African experience and left us refreshed and ready to return to the real-world.
There are many big agency tours available for Tanzania safari, but you will benefit more from the personal attention of Lappet Faced Safaris. We could not be happier with our dream vacation and wouldn’t entrust anyone else!

Outstanding Safaris
I fell in love with Africa as a teenager. Fifty years later I took my first trip which was managed beautifully by Lappet Faced Safaris. Francisco, CEO, was exceptionally responsive to our requests. We told him what we wanted to see, gave him a budget, and he designed the perfect trip. He was very responsive to questions, and happy to do any tweaking we needed to do in order to fit our schedule.
He provided us with the perfect guide. I am not overstating. Our guide Michael was extremely skilled, very knowledgeable, and lots of fun! After we all loosened up, we laughed our way across Tanzania.
We tried to stay in tented camps for the most part, which was a good choice for us. If you want to hear animals at night, and enhance your experience, this is the way to go. I never once felt unsafe.
We are traveling with Lappet Faced Safaris again in August 2021, going back to see more of Tanzania. In 2022 Lappet Faced Safaris will take us to Kenya.
I would let Lappet Faced Safaris take me anywhere!

Understood what we wanted and delivered 100 percent
of all the tour companies we contacted Lappet Faced Safaris was by far the most responsive, and understood what we wanted and tailored the safari perfectly to us. and questions and changes were dealt with in a timely fashion and we headed to Tanzania very confident in the arrangements. On arrival we were not disappointed, and as soon as the safari started we knew we had made the correct choice. Our Guide (Everest) was a perfect match for us, and the 12 days we spent in the bush with him were a dream. There was never the feeling of being rushed through anything, we could stop and observe the animals and birds at will, with Everest filling it in with his years of knowledge of the wildlife. All of the accommodations were well located in or near the parks and were almost too nice. I only wish we had had more time over all, and that was after 12 days! There is some much to see and experience in Tanzania and we just scratched the surface, but even that would not have been possible without the excellent services provided by Lappet Faced Safaris

Really Enjoyed Safari with Lappet Faced Safaris
Had a great experience with them. Noel, our guide, went above and beyond a number of times. The airline lost the luggage for multiple people in our group, and without our guide and Lappet Faced Safaris we would have had a tough time getting it back. They contacted the airline, and hand delivered all of their luggage while we were in the middle of our safari. We didn't miss a minute of our awesome safari because of it.
We also got to see some amazing animals throughout the week, and they accommodated our requests to search for specific animals. We got extremely close to many lions, and even saw a recent kill. Overall great experience and the lodges we stayed at were great as well.

Great safari with lappet faced safari
We did an 8 day safari with lappet faced safari that was excellent. We went to 5 national parks where we saw an amazing array of wildlife including about 10 lions, 5 cheetahs, a leopard, thousands of gazelles, antelope, zebras, wildebeest, 100s of elephants and hippos, lots of giraffes and countless birds. Gabriel was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and would stop whenever we asked him to but we really didn't need to ask as he was in constant contact with other guides in the area and would shoot off to wherever the wildlife was.The places we stayed varied quite a bit but that was dependent on what we decided. You can really spend whatever you want as you decide your level of stay.I highly recommend lappet faced safari as they were very responsive at every level

Perfect
Francisco and the Lappet Faced Safaris are just amazing, many thanks for perfectly arranging and executing our incredible 7 day holiday in Zanzibar. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves discovering so much at Zanzibar.
We found out about Lappet Faced Safaris from the positive reviews you have safaribookings and tripadvisor and we have not been disappointed. We noted your attention to detail and passion to ensure that our stay was smooth and that we got the best time.
We spent 3 days exploring stonetown with our brilliant guide Juma, whose intricate knowledge of Zanzibar was amazing during the stone town, prison island, spice and Jozani forest tours. He then drove us to Matemwe beach where we had been booked in the spectacular Matemwe Lodge where we spent the next four days relaxing in the secluded beach.
This has been an Amazing holiday, a big thank you to Lappet Faced Safaris for making it happen!!!
Highly recommended!!!
Holiday Of Lifetime
Our safari with Lappet Faced Safaris was incredible. We had a 5 day private safari, incorporating Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. Our guide Gabriel was wonderful and was very knowledgeable. He was always happy and friendly, and made a real effort to ensure we got to see all the things we hoped for.
The accomodation throughout the safari was excellent
I would recommend Lappet Faced Safaris to anybody looking to book a Tanzanian Safari. It really was the holiday of a lifetime and we loved every minute of it!

Great Experience On Kilimanjaro
In August 2021, I traveled to Tanzania with my brother to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. After much research, we went with Lappet Faced Safaris and were so glad that we did. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro we met their representative (Francisco) who picked us and transferred us to Panama Hotel in Moshi. Later in the evening we met with our guides who briefed us on our upcoming trek, and then went to our rooms to check our equipment to make sure that we were properly prepared. Once the trek started, we were given a daily medical check to monitor our vital signs to ensure that we could continue each day without health issues.Lappet faced safari guides are all medically trained and brought along oxygen, glucose, a stretcher and a portable hyperbaric chamber on the climb. The cook was extraordinary, every meal was warm, delicious and nutritious, and consisted of several courses to satisfy our high altitude nutritional needs. Including my brother and myself, there were five people in our group, and we all made it to Uhuru Peak on kilimanjaro 7 days Lemosho route to the top. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a life-changing experience, and there is no doubt in my mind that Lappet Faced Safaris expertise and care are what got us to the top. They are simply the best trekking company on the mountain.
