Outstanding Safari With Leopard Tours
On my recent safari in Tanzania we had the best drivers/guides that one could ask for, Victor Kombe & Julian Monesi. They provided us with the best service by being professional, friendly & very knowledgeable. If I were take another safari or recommend guides, I would ask for either one of them. Victor would be my choice as he was our driver/guide. Super individual! I can't say enough about them, especialy Victor.
Oh, by the way the safari was the most incredible trip of a life time!!!
Thank you Leopard Tours and African Travel.

Disappointing
My family and I booked travel to East Africa through Leopard Tours and the Krish Group. We traveled from June 25-July 9, 2024. We have had multiple issues during this trip. I have emailed Leopard Tours and the Krish Group several times, with no resolution of the issues, nor accountability.
Specifically, we signed off an itinerary created by Leopard Tours and the Krish Group that stated that we will be staying at Singita Faru Faru in a family suite--and per them, this was confirmed. Instead, once we arrived to Africa, I discovered that we were staying at Singita Sabora in two tented camps. They are both very unique properties, and we had signed off on Singita Faru Faru, not Singita Sabora. I reached out to Leopard Tours and the Krish Group immediately on finding this out and all they could tell me was that there was nothing he could do to rectify the situation as Faru Faru had no availability, and because we were booked a "similar" lodge, neither would do nothing further. This is extremely disappointing as they never took any accountability, nor did they apologize for the error. My husband and I had extended our travels dates (paid extra to change our tickets) and took off additional days from work to stay at Singita Faru Faru - which Leopard Tours and the Krish Group had told us that they had secured for us, however, as stated above, they had not. This felt like the classic "bait and switch."
Additionally, Leopard Tours and the Krish Group suggested we travel to Tarangire. Unfortunately, once we arrived to Tarangire, we came to learn that it was a bad time to travel to Tarangire National Park due to the heavy rainfall the area had over the past several months. Due to the heavy rain/tall brushes we could not see any animals. Even the owner of the lodge in Tarangire stated that the tour companies should have let us know that as he had notified all guests who had booked directly of this.
Lastly, we noticed that there was an option to use open vehicles for safari game rides. We were never given this option when booking the trip. It seems that Leopard Travel does not have any open vehicles. When we asked to change some of our game drives to open vehicles operated by the lodges, we were advised to do it ourselves and pay for the additional cost.
Leopard tours has essentially asked me to contact Krish Group for any issues and has taken no accountability in this matter. The Krish Group has done the same.
Very disappointing trip, service and company. I would strongly advise to AVOID LEOPARD TOURS and THE KRISH GROUP.

First Class Staff
I was on a safari with Odysseys Unlimited Jan 28 through Feb 10. The Leopard Tours staff were incredible from start to finish. The driver of our safari vehicle, Shaban Mussa, was expert at navigating the difficult and sometimes treacherous roads throughout Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti plains. He also had tremendous knowledge about the animals, the birds, the landscape and the culture of Tanzania. Also, a good sense of humor. The other driver/guides for our group were also fantastic. Another driver who picked me up at the Dar es Salaam airport -- Justin -- was just so kind and a great guide through the crazy traffic of the city. Another staff member -- and I am sorry I cannot remember her name -- helped us navigate the airport checkin at Dar es Salaam. I actually got quite ill while at the airport and she was so patient and could not have been more kind. I highly recommend Leopard Tours and am so glad they were part of our experience!!

An unforgettable experience, every animal imaginable was seen close up, I find it difficult to put i
I have to give my Guide/driver Charles a very special mention. He was outstanding from the moment he meet me. Exceptionally knowledgeable and he was able to answer all of my questions and he even imparted additional information which made my holiday the best I have ever had in over 35 years of travelling. He is a huge asset to Leopard Tours they are very lucky to have him. I would return to Tanzania in a heartbeat and I hope that Charles is able to see this review.

Beyond Expectations
My husband and I had a private Tour visiting Lake Manyara (Serena Lodge), Northern Serengeti (Klein Camp) and Ngorongoro Crater ( Crater Lodge). This was made all by 4x4. Our Guide , Mr Mosses Elias Kapolondo, was tireless to fullfill our expectations.
We saw Wild Life in its Prime. Countless herds of herbivores, Big Cats, Small Cats, Birds, Magustos, Jackals. Amazing Landscapes .We followed the formation (tail,body,head) of the Great Migration , and watched one of the Mara’s River Crossing with all of its action! 3 PARKS we had been, had given us diferent kinds of Safari experience. Mr Mosses explained all about our sightings. An unforgettable life time vaccation!” Serengeti shall never die”.

Great safari thanks to a great guide: Nashiri Rashidi
We just spent 12 days across northern Tanzania national parks and had a great time thanks to a very good organization, but especially a great guide-driver. Being a photographer, the guide is critical. Leopard Tour's guide, Mr Nashiri Rashidi, made the difference. He is very polite, patient, respecting safety rules and park rules, and has a smooth way to drive. He knows the parks and the wild-life like no one, has the contacts so to know where the animals are and when, allowing us to experience incredible scenes. And as a photographer, he knows when and where to be for your most critical shoots (right place right time). We would definitely request Nashiri again next time (Leopard Tour has more than 300 guides ...) and warmly recommend him to you.
A dream safari !
Thanks to our guide Elinasse for making us discover his wonderful country. Thanks to his kindness and professionalism we had a dream safari.

Excellent safari with Leopard Tours
In October 2019 we had 10 day safari in Tanzania, organized by Leopard Tours. 10 wonderful days thanks to excellent facilitation and a well skilled driver / guide. Khalid showed us the best Ngorongoro and Serengeti have to offer. He spotted the smallest footprints and found all the animals we wanted to see. Complete big five and cheetah. Twice we saw the migration by the Mara River. He made sure we did well on the entire trip. If we ever go back to Tanzania for a safari, Leopard Tours is our natural first choice, and when it comes to driver / guide, it has to be Khalid. Thanks to Leopard Tours and Khalid, for an unforgettable safari.
