An amazing adventure
We did a ten day safari with Leopard Tours, arranged with Lion World Travel. We travel often and I am typically very 'hands on' in the planning, but I also knew my limitations on working on a vacation with NO knowledge of what to expect.
Everything from the pick up at Arusha airport, to the final drop at Arusha airport was top notch. Being met at the airport and handing off the VISA required docs and money and then having our luggage handled by Leopard was excellent. Jet lag made us all a bit out of it, and we felt very cared for immediately.
We were a group of 14, shared over three vans. Each of our drivers, Daniel, Edwin and Peter were outstanding. We were assigned to Peter, and he was soft spoken, knowledgeable, open to suggestions, and very concerned with our comfort and providing an excellent experience.
We actually saw the Big Seven in ONE DAY! Fantastic. I did not know what to expect as far as the driving/roads, and although it was a very bumpy, dusty situation, Peter was very cautious and a careful driver. There were many hours spent with him and he spoke often about Tanzania's culture/economy/eco-systems and we learned a great deal.
We did an 'add on' and said goodbye to our group after eight days, and were in Peter's hands for the remainder of our trip. Unfortunately, my husband took a fall and cut his mouth pretty badly. Peter was amazing. (I immediately felt sick seeing my husband.) He took control, helped him staunch the bleeding and arranged to find a doctor at the Serengeti Central area. His concern and kindness helped immensely with calming my and our daughter's fears.
I highly recommend Leopard Tours. Not once did I have any qualms about the decision we had made to book with this wonderful company.

VICTOR KOMBE is an excellent game guide in Tanzania
In August, 2018, I had the pleasure and privilege to safari in TZ with guide, VICTOR KOMBE. Victor was extremely personable, knowledgeable, accommodating and always demonstrated complete respect and appreciation for the wildlife and environment.
During our many game drives, I learned that Victor's incredible knowledge of the wildlife and environment were due to his several years of guide experience and education. Victor had a Diploma of Wildlife Tourism and degree in African Wildlife Management. Besides the thrilling game drives, I cannot state just how much I learned. I used to email my grandchildren each evening with what I had learned that day about the habits of the wildlife and effects of the wildlife on the environment. They loved hearing these new facts and shared them with their friends.
An African safari is truly a life changing experience.
If your are traveling either solo or with a family, I would without hesitation, recommend asking for VICTOR KOMBE as your game drive guide.
I can assure you that you will not be disappointed!

Amazing Experience with our Guide Victor John
We just returned from a 5 day trip to Tanzania and we had booked with Thomas Cook who in turn subcontracted to Leopard Tours. Our experience with Leopard Tours was excellent and the entire trip went smoothly without a hitch. it is THE biggest TO in Tanzania with over 200 vehicles, so while the quality may vary depending upon who your guide is, we were lucky to have had the best guide I have known in my life.
There was a representative, Samwell who received us at the airport and helped us complete the formalities quickly and another person, Charles, who met us at the hotel even though it was a Sunday evening to explain the program for the tour. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The next five days, it was the guide Victor John who drove us around and made our tour memorable from every aspect. He was hard working, passionate, knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely care about the animals as he told us a lot of anecdotes and shared a lot of interesting trivia. He was an excellent driver, very professional and extremely committed. He would never cut corners and do his best to spot animals and despite driving for over 11 hours a day, he would insist that we make the best of our time and maximize the game drives. He had a brilliant eye and could spot the wildlife even if it wasn't easy. The vehicle was also well equipped with a radio device to communicate information and he had strong binoculars which aided in improving the experience. Thanks to him, we ended up seeing 10 cheetahs, 3 leopards and easily over 50 lions in Serengeti itself! Traveling with Victor was a pleasure and I would definitely recommend him to all tourists visiting Tanzania.

we've been on many safaris and this was the best by far.
I was very impressed with Shazmin the consultant who replied to my initial e mail. She spent a lot of time working on a suitable itinerary that would work for a very mixed group . our driver/guide was Malia and he was perfectly suited. Not only knowledgeable about the animals, plants birds etc his general knowledge of his own country, Africa and the rest of the world was impressive. He was courteous, neat , punctual and went out of his way to make this the most memorable experience ever. The follow up by leopard consultants and airport transfers were exellent. Although this is a big company the attention to detail is phenomenal and we felt that they treat every person as if they are of the highest importance. These few days by far exceeded our expectations and we have done many many safaris in southern and east Africa. I would go so far as to say that if anyone is considering a safari this is THE only option.

Could not have been better
Fantastic!!!!Full marks for every aspect. Joshua, our guide, was friendly, well informed, helpful and a very good driver with an excellent knowledge of every aspect of the bush, the country and its people.The balloon ride?Been there, done that, got the t shirt. Although the bush breakfast afterwards was a treat, the balloon ride in itself was not worth the effort and money..

EXCELLENT ORGANISATION
We made a safari through Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater with Leopard Tours. Everything was perfectly taken care of.
My profession is photographer and thanks to the excellent dedication of our driver / guide, Basil Thomas, I was able to make the most beautiful photos.
His expertise of wildlife and his enormous commitment to constantly bring us to the best places made it a memorable safari.
Thank you very much Basil and Leopard Tours.
Recommend everyone Leopad Tours and Basil.

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!
