Professionalism, punctuality and responsibility!
We have been dreaming of going on a safari for a very long time, but it seemed to us that it was very difficult, expensive and troublesome. How to choose a firm? And can they be trusted? Aren't they deceived? After all, this is a different continent, a different language, a different mentality. There are many reviews on the Internet about unscrupulous firms. And so, day after day, reading reviews and recommendations, I saw a review of a safari with Lappet Faced Safaris! And I decided to write to them. I wrote to several other firms asking for prices and programs (to compare offers). Francisco was the first to contact me within 5 minutes after the request. He asked me in great detail about our preferences, living conditions, what kind of food we like and asked many different questions. And literally, in half an hour, he sent me a detailed plan-route of our safari by mail! With photos of the lodges, with a detailed description of the route, what is included and what is not. Well, that's all! After such an offer, I had absolutely no questions about our trip! I must say that in other firms they limited themselves to the usual advertising program. These were standard offers that are offered to all tourists. And Francisco made an individual program for me personally! He foresaw all the nuances (how much rest we need when we need to leave for the airport)! Francisco did not have a Russian-speaking guide in the state at that time, but I really asked him to find one for us and he did it! He helped me buy plane tickets! He not only booked them, but redeemed them for us! Francisco is on call 24/24. Whenever I wrote to him, he always answered within 10 minutes! It's great when you understand that he is always there and everything is under control!
Our safari went flawlessly! We were met at the airport by our driver Maiko and guide Peter. I just love them! Maiko is a wonderful experienced driver-guide. He was very responsive and attentive to our wishes! Thanks to him, we saw the entire African Five.
Peter speaks Russian very well. We were very lucky that Francisco still found us a Russian-speaking guide! We talked a lot not only about animals, but also about life in Tanzania, about customs, about people. It was a complete acquaintance with Africa!
When Maiko and Peter brought us to the hotel, Francisco arrived there too! And we got to meet in person! I am grateful to him for such organization of our safari! He took into account all our wishes and requests! It was the most wonderful trip! I wish Francisco and Lappet Faced Safaris prosperity and many happy tourists! They are truly professionals! Their task is not just to make money, but to make tourists happy and satisfied!

Wild Experience!!!
My partner Rocio and I decided to go on a safari in Tanzania.
After looking a lot we found Lappet Faced Safaris, Francisco was very attentive from the beginning. He answered all our doubts and questions that arose.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, Noel - our guide, was waiting for us at the airport to take us to our first hotel in the city of Arusha where we would spend the first day to rest after the long journey.
And the next day... our ADVENTURE began!
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara parks.
We have fallen in love with all its nature. Noel is always very attentive to us and always providing THE BEST view of the animals in his natural habitat! Better impossible! His experience in the environment is noticeable, he taught us unique moments in the day to day of these wonderful animals.
They provided us with great hotels throughout the 5 days of safari ( my favorite the tent in the Serengeti

Francisco the tour organizer was responsive and helpful during the organization of our tour.
Noel our driver/guide was a really nice person. Thanks to him we could see almost all the big five animals and many more. They booked also nice lodges for our stays.

Service delivery excellence!
My partner and I had the most spectacular tour of Tanzania, encompassing Arusha National Park, Ngorongoro and the world famous Serengeti. Our tour organiser Franscico should get a tourism award for his patience at trying to meet my every whim to create the perfect safari. Spoiler: He did not disappoint. From the walking safari in Arusha with armed guard to the Crater and the Serengeti, every accommodation booked delivered beyond expectation. Every experience of every animal was beyond expectation and this was not my first rodeo. This was my second trip to Tanzania for the Northern Safari circuit, so I knew what I wanted and Franscico along with our expert tour driver Joshua, truly delivered. Joshua has an almost 6th sense to know exactly where animals will pop up, where they will travel to and how to get one on one time with the animals before the hits of other safari trucks come by. My partner and I both were surprised by his expertise. I've been told all the Lappet tour guides are trained with the same tenacity so whether you get Joshua or someone else driving you, I'm sure it's going to exceed your expectations. Joshua made the safari perfect! He is kind, funny, organised and he has the knowledge. This is his passion and it really shows. Do not hesitate to book with Lappet-Faced Safaris. We don't regret it at all. Would do again on our next safari. Thank you so much guys. You gave us even more reasons to love Tanzania! See you again soon. Warm wishes from Hasan and Yolande. Perth, Western Australia.
The most beautiful holiday in the world with the guides of Lappet faced Safaris.
An unforgettable trip, we wanted to celebrate our 25 years of marriage and we trusted Francisco and his staff and we did well. From the accommodations to the safari, to the education, empathy and availability of the people, all impeccable. I am so happy that I will carry this experience in my heart for life. I highly recommend this agency for professionalism and attention to the customer. Special thanks is a big hug to our guide Noel. A special boy ❤️. Thanks guys for everything.

Excellent Tour provider, great guide, we always felt safe and had such a good time
We got this tour provider by recommendation and went for 4 days game drive safari. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The German speaking guide Freddy was excellent, had a great knowledge about Tanzania, the animals, the history, etc. - just amazing. Most relevant is to have a safe driver and a well maintained car, we saw so many others having trouble, but our guide took really care, cleaned and checked the car every day.
Again, excellent experience with fantastic view on amazing animals, we were so close to them and could observe them perfectly. Big thank you to Francesco for the organisation and a 100% recommendation from us for Lappet Faced Safari!!

Noel was an expert tour guide and everyone should do an African safari at least once.
The entire African safari was amazing. Everything we saw repeatedly pointed us back to recognizing God's glory and the wonder of his creation. Noel was so knowledgeable and had a book with each of the animal's name and photos to help us understand what we were seeing. He was able to find animals in hard to find places and we were able to see all of the Big Five. I am a vegetarian and all of the lodges were able to accommodate my diet, which was great. I highly recommend that everyone do an African safari at least once in their lifetime. Lappet Faced Safaris is an excellent company to meet all of your needs on an African safari.

Very Expert in Safari
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.

Lappet Faced Safaris is one of a kind tour operator : trust the specialists !
We went to Tanzania for our honeymoon. We did a safari for 7 days, then went to Zanzibar for 4 days.
To be honest, it was amazing from start to the end. Our guide, Joseph, was a special person : his kindness and his caring were exceptionnal. Not to mention his great knowledge of the park and all the different species you could find.
We managed to see the famous big 5. Actually, there is not any specie we didn't see !
This trip was way more exciting than what we expected ! Also the hotels choosed by LAPPET FACED were truly impressive in terms of confort and luxury !
I would recommend LAPPET FACED everyday and we made promise to ourselves that we would definitely come back in few years, with the same company !
Thank you LAPPET FACED, from the bottom of ouf hearts ! And see you soon !!!
