Safari in couples' style Francisco the tour organizer was responsive and helpful during the organization of our safari. Noel our driver/guide was a really nice person. Thanks to him we could see almost all the big five animals and many more. They booked also nice lodges for our stays with good variety of local food. For good safari experience you can rely on them.:)

Lifetime experience There are hundreds of tour operators in Tanzania. In fact the number of tour operators was overwhelming. We read online reviews and poured over websites before narrowing down the selections to 8 tour companies. We then selected Lappet Faced Safaris out of the 8. Francisco was very responsive and informative. We had selected the exact areas we wanted to visit and had Francisco give us a quote. He made suggestions and came back with the perfect tour. Whereas Francisco did all the planning, the actual tour was conducted by Noel. He was wonderful. We could not have hand picked a better person to be our guide for this lifetime experience. His knowledge of the area, the customs and the animals is astounding. He is patient and kind and a pleasure to spend 8 days with on a safari. I will ask for him when I return. As we did not want to spend time in Arusha, we were picked up from the airport by Noel and taken to Osupuko Tarangire Lodge. This lodge is right outside the Tarangire National Park. We had a lovely room and the food was delicious. It was our favorite lodging on the trip. We woke up to seeing an elephant outside our window and monkeys in the trees. The lodge is next to the Tarangire National Park so we did not have to travel far to start the safari the next morning. By the first day we had seen elephants, zebra, a cheetah, giraffes, buffalo, ostriches, monkeys, baboons, warthogs, dig dig, wildebeest, gazelles, antelope, mongoose, and many species of birds. We then traveled to the Central Serengeti National Park, despite the Serengeti covering over 3 million acres, Noel found lions and a leopard and so many giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and other wonderful animals. Our stay at the Seronera Wildlife Lodge was very accommodating. The views from the lodge are beautiful. This safari was taken for the purpose of seeing the wildebeest migration and we saw so many wildebeest. There are over 1 million of these wildebeest in the migration. Seeing how they travel in straight lines was so awesome from a hot air balloon. On Day 7 we visited the Ngorongoro Crater and saw not 1 but 2 rhinos. We were told by a different guide that 80% of tourists do not see a rhino. Noel has a gift for spotting animals. God gave these animals the perfect environment to blend into, but Noel is so familiar with this area that he can spot them from far off. Our last day was in Lake Manyara it is very pretty with the flamingos and the lake. ALL in ALL it was one of my favorite adventures and would highly recommend Lappet and Noel. I am hopeful to return and will ask for Noel. If I could rate them with a 10 I would do so

Unglaubliche Tierbeobachtungen, alles bestens organisiert! Hatte eine unglaublich tolle Safari mit Francesco und unserem Fahrer Mike, der selbst widrige Fahrstrecken excellent meisterte! War alleine unterwegs, da Reisepartner abgesagt hat. Wurde wirklich sehr fürsorglich behandelt.. bekam auch jede Menge Infos zu den Tieren und den Habitaten. In Ndutu waren wir während der Kalbungszeit mitten unter den grosse Herden und konnte viele Tiere hautnah beobachten! Selbst die Löwen liefen in fast allen Nationalparks zwischen den Autos durch. So nah, dass man sie hätte anfassen können! Sah auch einen Löwen auf dem Baum, unglaublich viele Giraffen direkt neben unserem Auto und Elefantenherden überall!. Selbst eine Leoparden Mutter mit 2 Jungen konnten wir relativ nah beobachten! Einen Geparden fanden wir keine 3 Meter vom Auto entfernt.. Sehr relaxt. Insgesamt war die ganze Safari hervorragend organisiert. Der Mix aus Luxus Lodges und einfacheren Zeltlodges im Bush war ein Erlebnis für sich! Machte auch die Heißluftballon Fahrt in der Serengeti. War wirklich ein ganz spezielles Erlebis so knapp über den grossen Herden zu schweben. Empfehle die Buchung direkt bei Francesco. Er hat einen sehr guten Preis! Insgesamt kann ich Francesco nur wärmstens empfehlen. Er und Mike sind sehr tolle Tourgides und gehen auf alle Wünsche für spezielle Tierbeobachtungen sehr gut ein. Kein Zeitdruck und auch die Tiere wurden nie gestört! Das Essen in den Lodges ist ausreichend und ganz gut. Der Jeep war sehr komfortabel! Besser hätte die ganze Safari nicht laufen können! Vielen Dank Jungs, es war super toll mit euch!

Amazing Everything was perfect! Francisco was Amazing at organizing the trip we wanted. He really took the time to answer all my questions at any time and custom made our trip with a fair price. We had two awesome guides Jonathan for Mount Meru and Naoli for the Safari. We were camping most of the trip but don’t get me wrong, it was 5* camping with the best private cook called Solo, I mean even at the top of the mountain every meal was so tasty and every day different. Thank you to the whole crew, hope to be back soon!

Expectations exceeded Everything was great. Communication with Francisco/ lappet faced safaris was fast and uncomplicated, we got a really good prize and all went smoothly. Pick up at the airport was good, we got a very warm welcome. We were taken good care of before and during the Safari. It was very well planed and thought through but at the same time our Guide always found a way to make it the best possible experience for our group. We saw so many animals in this impressive landscape thanks to our skilled and sharpeyed guide. Also nice was that our Guide Gabriel could speak german and english, he has a good knowledge of the wildlife, nature and life in Tanzania, so we learned a lot and had really interesting conversations. And after experiencing so much during the day we could relax in the evenings and enjoy very delicious freshly cooked food, prepared by our cook. This Safari exceeded all my expectations. In the end I can say, it felt more like traveling with friends than just doing a safari tour and it was really sad to say good bye. It's safe to say I would love to come back!

Unforgettable and wonderful experience With Lappet Faced Safaris we experienced 4 wonderful days of Safari, experiencing the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro National Park. From the beginning to the end, everything was perfectly organized as was the selection of both the parks and the campsites. Our guide was phenomenal, had a huge knowledge about the country, the parks and the wildlife and we couldn't have wished for a warmer and more welcoming start to our time in Tanzania. Additionally he also speaks German perfectly, which made the days even more enjoyable for us. All in all, he was able to show us the most beautiful places, all the stunning wildlife we could only dream of and was a huge reason, why it was such a wonderful and unforgettable experience for all of us! I would totally recommend Lappet Faced Safaris any time to anyone and could not have wished for better people to make this wonderful experience possible! Thank you very much again for the unforgettable days!

Amazing safari - big recommendation We had such a wonderful time with Lappet Faced Safari and were completely happy with our choice. The organisation and the airport pickup went super easy and they are very reliable. Gabriel, our guide, spoke German which was fantastic. Their knowledge was impressive and it felt like an all-inclusive trip because every detail was organised. All in all I can recommend Francisco and his team warmly to everyone who plans to do a safari in Tanzania.

Wonderful experience As students with low budget we were not sure if we should really invest the money - retrospectively it was the best decision we could have made! We were warmly welcomed at the airport und felt so safe an well looked-after all the time we were extremely sad when we had to leave. All in all, there is not a single thing to criticize, everthing went smoothly and our expectations were exceeded. The food was fantastic (and a lot), and our guide tried really hard to show us the big five (which he managed thanks to his experience in finding the best spots and his sharp eyes). Our guide was very competent, fluent in german and very nice- we will definetely try to come back!

We would highly recommand We had a wonderful time during our safari Tour with lappet faced safaris! We didn‘t know what to expect since this would be our first experience but our expectations weren‘t just fulfilled but exceeded! We were warmly welcomed by Fransisco and our Tour Guide Gabriel and were always looked after. When there was a Problem he could help us immediately and was very professional. The communication was very uncomplicated and he responded very quickly! Gabriel is an excellent and well experienced Guide. We were brought to the best Spots to see all the animlas, the beautiful landscape and some spectacular sunrises. He was incredible spotting the animals from very far distances so that we were very lucky to see all the Big five and many more! He is a good driver and we felt very safe during the whole time. He even speaks fluent german and knows all the German names of the animals which was great. We learned a lot about the wildlife, the Environment and the area. The food during our trip which was cooked by our friendly cook was also very delicious. We had an outstanding experience during our five days and it felt like saying goodbye to Friends when we were leaving. We will keep it in very good memory and hope to Return one day! Couldn’t recommend more!
