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.

Absolutely amazing!!
the safari was the most fantastic week ever! we have booked online through SafariHub. In Tanzania we were taken care of by our colsultant and he told us that Leopard Tours is a subsidiary of SafariHub, so we ended up in a jeep of Leopard tours.
during the safari we had our guide Peter. he was definitely the best guide you could wish for !! with his 8 years of experience he managed to find the big 5 flawlessly. Peter told us a lot about the parks, life in Tanzania and nature. He took the time so that we could take the perfect photos and made us feel at home. PETER YOU ARE THE BEST, THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH!!!

Leopard Tours are the Best
7 days & six nights of fantastic Safari with Leopard tours. Lake Manyara, The Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire were all fantastic .
Our Driver Guide, Julius , who is an experienced guide & ex park ranger, knew all the places to go, and how to find the animals. We saw so much more than I think we would have without him. Thanks you Julius. Always on time, always with a clean vehicle. Very helpful with lots of information.
My wife was feeling ill at Ngorongoro and decided to stay at the lodge when we went to the crater. He spoke with the Hotel and made sure a local doctor came to see her.
Thank you Leopard tours, for everything from having your staff at the airport to help us through the immigration process, taking us to & from our acccomodation in Arusha and providing us with Julius for the week and the best Safari experience anyone could hope for. The Ballon flight was also absolutely Awesome and worth every dollar.

Hassan Hussein Hassan only wants money
Hassan Hussein Hassan is a good guide: BUT after holidays he'll ask you for your phone number. Ok, we are stupid, we gave it to him. Then his family is in trouble (mom falls down and have to go to hospital, children must go to school, need money for water or electric, etc.) We were very stupid... But even when I told him to fuck off, de didn't stop, so told him that I'll call Leopard Tours. No way. Last time he called me in Spring this year. Now he's on the black list. "Nice"memories of Tanzania...
Reply from Leopard Tours
Posted on Oct 17, 2019Dear Iris,
Greetings from Tanzania.
We very much regret your experience with driver-guide Hassan Hussein. It is our wish this was communicated by email to Leopard Tours because, that way, we could have sorted the matter with Hassan without having Leopard Tours dragged into the public platform.
We understand you knew Hassan long before he joined Leopard Tours. Hassan claims you were family friends for quite a while and you had shared contacts before he joined Leopard Tours. As it stands now, the review is inadvertently targeting Leopard Tours as an employer of Hassan. For anyone reading the review, the picture is that our driver-guides are not professional, and it is not possible to appreciate from the review that Hassan obtained your contacts while he was working with other companies.
We, at Leopard Tours, are very much disturbed by Hassan's conduct and his case is with the Human Resources office for disciplinary action.
Our humble request to you is to remove the review from safaribookings.com and other review platforms as Leopard Tours interests are at stake for a matter which is supposed to be private between you and Hassan. This is more so as your contacts with Hassan started well before he joined Leopard Tours but this is not clarified in your review.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused you.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation,
Quality Control
Leopard Tours, Arusha

Best trip ever!!
I highly recommend Leopard Tours. They partner with Lion World Travel (the company I booked my safari with) and they exceeded my expectations. We had a small group (only 3 singles on my safari) with one older gentleman that should have had a traveling companion with him, due to his age. He was constantly forgetting things, and telling (yelling) at our guide, telling him where to stop for pictures, etc. Our guide Emanuel was patient and professional with him the whole trip.
Emanuel was the best guide ever! Funny, informative, and just 'cool', I had a great time with him.
When my trip was over, I booked a few days on Pemba Island, finishing my safari time with Leopard Tours, or so I thought! When I landed in Dar es Salaam, I was (surprisingly) met by Leopard Tours at the airport, so I could stay in their lounge, and in air conditioning. This level of customer service is beyond the best! One negative comment: Please get a better couch in the office at Dar es Salaam! I had a 6 hour layover, and it would have been great to lay down in my air conditioned lounge!
Thanks to Jane at the Dar es Salaam office for taking such good care of me!

Mediocre at the best.
The Driver would take us no further than 10-15 Kms from our lodge and move in circles and follow the radio if there were any wild life sighting. Going so far from Canada we were disappointed not to go north to see the migration. Out of 3 days one day was a complete wipe out but we were fortunate on one day to see a lion pride and a Cheetah get on to a Safari jeep next to us.
They are nor trained to delight customers but rather make it routine and sometimes monotonous. We spent 3 days in the Serengeai, 1 in Tarangerine and 2 in Ngongoro crater but asides from moments of excitement the vast majority of our drive was boring. When we said that one day was lost in just driving, the driver got offended and confronted us and the rest of the trip lost all its charm.

Wonderful safari
We booked with Tanzania Wildlife Safaris/Climbing Kilimanjaro for our honeymoon, who organised our personalised Safari trip to Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire well and were very helpful and kind. The trip was operated by Leopard Tours. Husseni Hassani was the best driver imaginable. He provided great knowledge, had excellent driving skills and was very enjoyable on a personal level. He always made sure we had a great time. And he speaks English, French and Spanish. Make sure you go with him (also other parks and like Serengeti) and you will have an amazing time! Highly recommended!
