They prepare everything for my trip! They helped me to decide what to see and what not to see.
I’m sorry that I press five star button, I had prefer to press more than 10 stars. Anyway what I know five stars is best number that is why I decide to press all stars for Lappet Faced Safaris. My trip was awesome. It fill my trip so happy by visiting beautiful nature of Tanzania and is probably the most beautiful place on the planet, but more importantly Lappet Faced Safaris arranged my access to the country’s wonders so professional.
Lappet Faced Safaris prepare everything for my trip! They helped me to decide what to see and what not to see. They arranged tours that took me behind the scenes for many of the National Parks and game reserves of Tanzania. They sent me on adventures that were beautiful, thrilling, Maasai traditional dancing and brought me at the top of Mountain Kilimanjaro. Then, after my various day-long excursions, we were able to relax in lovely hotels and eat amazing food.
How did they know my tastes so well? Maybe magic, maybe the attentiveness and time that they devoted to working with me. At the outset of our relationship, they spent several hours talking with me about what I wanted to do and then planning an itinerary. For the next few months they worked on the reservations and other arrangements for all of my requests. Most of those communications took place by email and facebook, and they were very responsive all along the way. Right before I left, I had a ask all of my questions call with them, and they presented to me with a detailed, day by day itinerary. By the time I left for my trip, I felt that everything had been taken care of, and all of my what if worries had been anticipated.
i couldn’t ask for a better travel experience overall, or a better experience with a Lappet Faced Safaris Our sincere thanks to Lappet Faced Safaris and the whole his team.
I love to trip with Lappet Faced Safaris once again

Best Safari to Tsavo East, Just one short from the big five.
The safari was excellent, from the time of pick up. One thing though, the guys are so good they accepted to pick one guests along the way. They are organised and the guides knew the park and timings well. All was well, I enjoyed the trip and I really thank the team for the good work.

Good company to work with
Communication was excellent
Van needs a bit of maintenance
Driver/guide Bonifacio was excellent always trying his best to please
Unfortunately April is not the best month for a safari as the grass is very long and difficult to see the animals but Bonifacio managed to find them

Trip of a lifetime
My boyfriend and I went on an 13 day Rwanda, Congo and Uganda tour in February, I’ve just been really slack so only writing the review now!
We had the most amazing time, we altered our itinerary to include mount Sabinyo in Uganda and would definitely recommend this to anyone, it was a tough day’s hiking and half of it was in the lashing rain but it is well worth it.
We saw 12 gorillas in the Virunga national park and I have to say that was honestly the best day of my life!!
The only downfall I would say was on the last full day of the tour we drove to Jinja for a cruise on the Nile, as lovely as the Nile is it didn’t warrant driving 2 1/2 hours to get there for a 45 minute cruise and then 4 hours back again. Obviously the traffic is out of the guides control and the guides were so lovely the whole time but it might be an idea to change the standard 11 day tour to involve a night in Jinja instead.
The vehicle they used was brilliant and our guide even managed to find us a leopard and some tree climbing lions in the queen Elizabeth national park.
We did so much in the 13 days we were with them and can’t thank them enough!
Honestly it was such good value too, would recommend these guys to anyone and everyone!!

Showers of thanks to the team
I would humbly like to thank the whole Asili reservation team and our Guide Joe, you guys really made our holiday great and memorable. A friend recommended you to us and immediately started conversation, Dennis was replying our queries even in midnight African time, he set all the necessary preparations including accommodation and safari plan right and on time. Joe took us from Arusha to Tarangire where we have a wonderful experience there, we saw the herds of African elephants very close, the we went to Serengeti park it was so amazing we sawa a lot of animals there, we saw the lioness hunting and kill the buffalo. We spent two nights in Serengeti and drove to Ngorongoro crater another wonder of the world, we didn't expect to see such a creation. I can't finish expressing everything we experienced in this safari but it was full of excitement.
Thank you and we hope to come back for more expeditions

The trip of a lifetime!
Everything from planning to communication to the actual safari tour itself was top of the line! The camps were very well set up, comfortable, and well run - the staff exceptional. Out assigned guide, Harrison, was congenial, knowledgeable, took care of our every need and made sure we saw (close up) all the wildlife. And Gibbs Farm - The icing on the cake! The gardens, the accommodations, the restaurant - fabulous! The best vacation ever!

Overwhelmingly positive
We chanced upon Go Touchdown Tours at a South African art display in Sarasota, FL and entered to win a South African safari vacation. We did not win a trip, but we did receive discount coupons that, with trip prepayment, made the trip (for two adults and a teenage grandson) affordable. We were very pleased with the attention to detail, generally rapid response to questions, accommodations included, staff friendliness, dedicated driver while in SA (James), and overall value. Meals were “order anything off the menu” with no restrictions so we ate well and got to try local cuisine. We enjoyed Dunkeld Estate but especially liked our time at Humala River Lodge and the intimate game experience in the Songimvelo Reserve. In hindsight, we would have preferred another day at Humala rather than the trek to and disappointing quick day at Kruger, where we had a fairly “grumpy” Jeep driver who kept to the main road and did not give us much opportunity to see wildlife hiding off in the less exposed side areas. We saw the most wildlife at the Pilanesberg National Park, but enjoyed the most “in the bush” experience at Humala. Definitely worthwhile trip!

Excellent Game Drive
I had an amazing experience with Hekima Safaris. Very friendly and hospitable staff. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. In the end was a relaxing boating on the lake Duluti. It was so wonderful to see everything that had seen in National Geographic and other channels in real. Like just in front of your eyes, sometimes very close. We saw baby cheetahs, hunting lions, rhinos, a funny honey badger and a lot more. We did not see a leopard, but it's a game drive, not a zoo, right? Next time! Good meal, nights in the tents under an awesome starry sky included.
Thanks to great driver Samir, chef Marcus, Elieza, Jackson and others!
Highly recommended!

I'll never forget this summer thanks to you! )
We had an excellent time! Uganda is an unbelievably beautiful place! The landscape and surroundings of Kisoro and Bunyonyi are just mesmerizing! The Driver Guide was professional and knew the whereabouts of the animals in all the parks. During our Safari we were lucky enough to see 6 Lions and Gorillas, Thanks Ken
