Super organised and factful
The safari was well organised and the consultant , Michael was very responsive. The management welcomed us at the airport and brought us some souvenirs . The drive with our guide , Sami, turned out to be the best and we felt safe all the way . Everything was beyond our expectations and we managed to see all the African big 5 and many more. We also learned a lot and felt the real value for our money.
The guide was excellent and made sure we understood everything he taught us about Kenya and it's people , culture and wildlife and each animal's individual behaviours.
We can't say everything here but highly recommend Leopard orchids safaris and Sami to anyone who plans to travel to east Africa.

A journey with new surprises every day
A delightful trip with unique hotels, each featuring different animals and distinctive themes. Our guide Sami was very friendly, helping us find all the animals we wanted to see and providing detailed explanations about them. He had excellent driving skills, ensuring both safety and a smooth ride at a comfortable pace. Overall, the trip offered great value for money, and we were very satisfied with the hotel environment and dining experience.

Two Outstanding Safaris and Excellent Guides in Kenya
We can highly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris. From the very beginning, communication was fast and efficient, and they were happy to accommodate all our requests. We were able to tailor the safari itinerary exactly to our preferences.
The day before departure, they contacted us to confirm where we were staying in Nairobi and what time they would pick us up. They arrived exactly at the agreed time.
Our driver, Patrick, was an excellent guide as well as a skilled driver. He drove safely, which is especially important in local traffic conditions. He was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and shared many interesting facts about the animals we encountered. He always kept his promises and followed our agreed plans, while also showing us new and fascinating sights every day.
The five-day safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru was a fantastic start to our stay in Kenya. By the end of the trip, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to such a great guide.
After spending a few days on our own, we decided to book another safari, this time to Samburu. Even though it was during the Christmas holidays (we departed on December 25) and we arranged everything at the last minute (on December 21), Leopard Orchid Safaris once again organized everything perfectly. Our second driver, Peter, was also reliable, punctual, and helped us experience many remarkable sights and wildlife encounters.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the services provided by Leopard Orchid Safaris and would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.

amazing one-week safari in Kenya
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience.
A special thank you for the unexpected upgrade to a fantastic lodge during our two days in the Masai Mara. It made an already incredible experience even more memorable.
We would also like to thank our guide, Paul. His knowledge & professionalism helped us discover the beauty of each destination visited. He was always attentive, friendly, and eager to share insights about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture.
The entire trip exceeded our expectations. We saw an incredible variety of animals, stayed in great accommodations, and created memories that will last a lifetime. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Small, reliable, professional, friendly and great value safari company - we saw the big 5!
We had an amazing time on our 5-day Safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara (our favourite). The animals were everywhere. Elijah and George (our guide) were professional and reliable and quick to answer any questions. The food and accommodation in Amboseli Serena Lodge and Enkorok Mara Camp was excellent and it was interesting to talk with the Maasai.
Elijah (the organiser) met us at the airport transfer and before the safari itself, to explain the plans. George made sure we got to see all the animals, including a leopard, that had been spotted (the guides communicate by radio). The parks were so big that most of the time we could only see one other vehicle. The trip included a picnic lunch under a tree in the Masai Mara. The game drives were usually about 4 hours long and we definitely got our money’s worth.
The distances between the 3 parks were very long and tiring - between 5 and 7 hours every day, a lot of which were on bumpy dirt tracks - but that couldn’t be helped. The 4WD vehicle was quite shabby and not as smart as those of other companies, but maybe this is where costs were shaved off. George appeared knowledgeable but was quite quiet - this was perfect for us.

My Safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris: An Unforgettable Experience
From planning to execution, my safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout the planning process, Elijah was incredibly helpful, understanding, and responsive to my every query, modification request, and even price adjustment.
The safari itself was truly remarkable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Patrick. Patrick is a true jack-of-all-trades, serving as our driver, guide, wildlife expert, botanist, historian, geographer, and even economist. His passion for this job is unique. He masterfully narrates each region we traverse, delving into its history, geography, economic potential. He has incredible knowledge on characteristics of every animal, plant, and bird we encounter. As a guide, Patrick's uncanny ability to anticipate animal sightings and venture off the beaten path sets him apart from other guides. He transformed our journey into an exhilarating adventure while enriching our knowledge with every passing moment.
Logistically, the safari was impeccable. The SOPA lodges we stayed in were welcoming and offered delicious Kenyan cuisine. I was thoroughly impressed by every aspect of the safari and have already made plans to return next year with my entire family. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable and enriching safari experience. Their dedication to excellence and the expertise of their guides will undoubtedly create memories that will last a lifetime.

Communicative and Welcoming
From start to finish, Leopard Orchid Safaris were professional, kind, and accommodating. I was nervous, as a solo female traveler to go on a safari by myself and especially with a male guide, however Sammi was so kind and welcoming. He made me feel comfortable and safe. He was so knowledgeable and made sure I truly enjoyed my time. I would 10000% recommend this company and Sammi as a guide. I plan to recommend any and all friends who want to go to Kenya to book with this company.

Leopard Orchid Safaris made our family safari trip to Kenya amazing and so memorable!
We have just got back from an amazing 8 day safari in Kenya organised through Leopard Orchid Safaris and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Firstly, they were very accommodating at arranging exactly what we wanted. I had lots of emails to and from Elijah as he put together a perfect itinerary to suit us a family (which includes 3 teenagers).
Secondly, our driver/guide Lawrence was brilliant! As a driver he was great - always able to navigate all roads, both in national parks and on main roads, calmly and safely. As a guide he was incredible - so much knowledge of the wildlife and great at getting the vehicle in the perfect position for us to see amazing things, for example a cheetah and her cubs or elephants crossing the road in front of us. He also taught us a lot about Kenya and its culture. Lawrence really made such a big difference to the trip.
All the hotels booked for us by Leopard Orchard Safaris were great. We had given Elijah our budget and he found great places without going over budget.
We visited Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara over 8 days. I highly recommend the trip and I recommend you arrange it through Leopard Orchid Safaris.
