Good - We had a week Safari tour organized by Lappet Faced Safaris. We started our trip from 9th of July and all went well smoothly. Our tour guide Michael always tried find things we are interested. He is such an experienced guide plus good communicator and the best driver. He knew very well what his clients want to see in Safari and made sure to find things for his client. All accommodation and food arranged during the trip were superb. Our car broke down once but Michael knows how to fix it. It took only half an hour and we were back on the road. Thanks for these wonderful experiences Lappet Faced Safaris and Michael.

Excellent experience with fantastic view on amazing animals - We got this tour provider by recommendation and went for 4 days luxury game drive safari. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The German speaking guide Freddy was excellent, had a great knowledge about Tanzania, the animals, the history, etc. - just amazing. Most relevant is to have a safe driver and a well maintained car, we saw so many others having trouble, but our guide took really care, cleaned and checked the car every day. Again, excellent experience with fantastic view on amazing animals, we were so close to them and could observe them perfectly. Big thank you to Francesco for the organisation and a 100% recommendation from us for Lappet Faced Safari!!
