Reliable. The guide spoke good English and was very patient; most importantly, they responded to requests extremely quickly.
To begin with, the initial communication went very smoothly. We could contact the travel agency directly, and there was a group chat where everyone could interact; any concerns we had were patiently addressed.
Next, the reliability of the entire itinerary was impressive; I only paid the final balance after arriving. The rest of the trip went off without a hitch—the vehicle never broke down, and the arrangements for park tickets and hotel check-ins were seamless.
Since it was a private tour for just the two of us, we had the freedom to do whatever we wanted. We could sit however we liked in the vehicle, enjoying plenty of flexibility.
We also opted for a domestic flight for one leg of the journey, which kept our daily schedule from feeling too rushed.
As for the guide's professionalism, there wasn't a great deal of commentary—perhaps due to our English proficiency—so we tended to ask questions ourselves, which he would then answer. He was incredibly patient and knew the English names for various animals. He was never late; in fact, he would arrive early each day, and we would often have dinner together in the evenings. We were truly reluctant to part ways on the final day.
Regarding wildlife sightings, a lot comes down to luck. While guides communicate via radio, animal movements can be fleeting. We told our guide what we hoped to see—such as a hunt—and we managed to witness about four such instances. Although none resulted in a successful kill, he did his best to accommodate our wishes.
All in all, I highly recommend this experience. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to see a successful kill, I believe that with a bit more luck, it would have been the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

excellent
A very good safari experience. We came to the strange African continent for the first time for a 10-day trip. Jungle roam arranged a very reassuring itinerary. The whole process was by the driver Tribon and a car. We didn't need to worry about other trivial things at all. Tribon patiently took us to see all kinds of wild animals, from lions, elephants to birds and lizards. Compared with other guides, he drives steadily, does things meticulously, and patiently popularizes science, so that we can immerse ourselves in this safari feast.

worn out but joyful
Our African safari has been the most remarkable journey of our lives. From the very first game drive, we were amazed by the beauty of the wild savanna.
Our guide Mr. Tribon was professional, patient, responsible and great fun. He had an amazing eye for spotting hidden animals and explained animal behaviour in great detail, helping us spot rare animals such as leopards and cheetahs.
Watching elephants walk across the grassland and lions resting under acacia trees is totally different from seeing animals in zoos. We got up early every day, tired yet happy, and every moment was rewarding. The accommodation and food were great, the whole trip ran smoothly without any trouble.
This dream trip came true. A special thanks to Mr. Tribon for making our safari so memorable. I sincerely recommend this tour company to everyone who wants to explore Africa.

Very responsive to last minute requests and concerns
Leigh-Ann co-ordinated a visit of Livingston, Zambia for me, following a medical mission in Lusaka. Having never been there before, I left things in her ( as i now know) capable hands. She booked me into the Royal Livingston hotel , which was a beyond beautiful splurge. In fact, it was so fabulous that I decided to extend my stay for 2 nights at the last minute. Leigh- Ann responded immediately to my Whats app request and was able to get me the same reduced rate. I then discovered , after asking the front desk to extend my stay, that she arranged a rate that was more than half off.
She also arranged a beautiful river cruise on the African Queen , where I saw elephants tousling in the water, multiple hippos., and a crocodile. I toured the Victoria Falls, on both the Zambian and Zimbabwe side ( would highly recommend doing both) , and swam in the Devils Pool . I am in my 60’s and a must!
Thank you Leigh-Ann for co-ordinating such a memorable experience!

A kind and heartfelt journey to the best Serengeti.
I traveled to Northern, Central, Ngorongoro with future family by Somewhere in Africa.
I felt warm and comforted for whole trip because our guide Charles always treated me with a smile. He made sure we could see lots of animals as much as possible. He gave us several opportunities by moving the car so we could see from various directions. Especially when observing leopards, it became difficult to find them, so He kept changing the car positions. I learned a lot because he explained in detail about the characteristics and habits of each animal. The bush toilut was also an interesting experience too. All lodge was perfect.
Be sure to go to the northern Serengeti in late September or early October. You can see the migration of gnue. The wildebeest that run across the plains without crossing the Mara River is also amazing!

Excellence
He's an amazing guy. Good per excellence in his job. I had a great time in my game drive thanks to him. Was lucky enough to see the big 5 in one day. I truly appreciate Kasaine for not giving up and pushing through the Savannah. I would highly recommend him. Good vibes.

Warm hearted and considerate
We had a wonderful experience thanks to the thoughtful arrangements from lappet facet safaris. Our guide was incredibly patient and considerate, especially taking great care of the children throughout the trip. The hotels were also well-suited to our needs and budget. Overall, the entire Safari journey was truly memorable for our whole family.

Couldn't be better
It couldn't be better
Our 5-day, 4-night safari journey with the two of us, our mothers, and Charles was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Not a single day could have been better.
Since we traveled around the end of September and beginning of October, our main goal was to see the migration and the Mara River crossing, so we spent two nights in the North. During those two nights, we saw countless wildebeest and zebras migrating, including several incredible Mara River crossings! The moment when the crocodiles and zebras were watching each other carefully at the river is something I will never forget.
We also saw giraffes, hippos, warthogs, and, of course, the Big Five! It was an amazing experience to see and feel the lives of so many different animals up close.
The Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro were completely different from the North, so I highly recommend visiting them as well. Seeing dozens of hippos sleeping in the river, surrounded by their own… well, you know 😅, was absolutely unforgettable! Personally, I was especially fascinated by the unique landscape of Ngorongoro and the incredible ecosystem within the crater.
Charles's professional knowledge and excellent judgment made our safari experience even more complete. He was always carefully watching in every direction and made sure we could have as many amazing experiences as possible.
On top of that, he is such a kind and gentle person. Whatever we were curious about, he always took the time to answer our questions.
After finishing the safari, I realized once again how important a guide's judgment and experience really are. So, if any Korean travelers happen to come across this review, I highly recommend Charles without hesitation!
Thumbs up! 👍
