Excellent organisation and wonderful places
The safari was perfect either for the organisation or for the accommodation. No more to say on the places because they leave you without words. Paul, our driver and guide, was excellent. Very gentle and with a safe drive. He was very open to our requests. I suggest to choose Leopard for your safaris.

Impeccable organization and coordination of the safari.
When planning a trip to Kenya, I chose Leopard Orchid Safaris out of 15 similar operators. Michael, the manager, offered us an ideal program at a really competitive price. During our month of communication before booking, he patiently, attentively and promptly answered all our questions and changes. He also personally met us at the airport. Even after the end of the Safari, Michael continued to stay in touch and helped us quickly solve the problem with moving around Kenya.
Our Game-driver on the safari Lawrence is a great professional who loves his job. In just 1.5 days in Masai Mara, he showed us all the animals that we really wanted to see, some moments were simply magical (for example, an elephant that appeared out of nowhere, 10 minutes after we asked Lawrence about elephants). Lawrence finally and irrevocably made us fall in love not only with the Safari but with Kenya in general.
In general, the entire Leopard Orchid Safaris team (we managed to meet other employees + the owners) are excellent professionals who are "on fire" with their work, adore their country and animals. And these, I believe, are the best conditions for an ideal Safari.
Thank you, Leopard Orchid Safaris, for an exceptional experience that words can’t fully capture. Looking forward to returning next year!

The service was fantastic, starting from the booking process & ending with the great safari tour
Leopard Orchid Safaris exceeded our expectations — they did a great job! This started with the perfect booking process and the operators' great, really fast support. The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide, Lawrence, was always looking for the best spots to show us as many animals as possible. He was very helpful and answered all our questions with his great knowledge. Thanks to him, we were able to spot almost all of the Big Five of the Masai Mara. The accommodation met our expectations, and the food was delicious at all times. We would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see wild animals up close in a respectful way. We definitely got our money's worth, as we even had a private tour with our own guide and jeep.

Hassle free and a memorable trip!
We finally lived our Maasai Mara dream and it was such an amazing experience.
Super grateful to Michael who was such an integral part of the whole planning process, answering all our queries so promptly and curating such a customised itinerary.
Also a big thank you to our guide Sammy for taking us around all the places, taking us to spots where we could see all the Big 5. Curiosity got the better of me with never ending questions on the wildlife there and he did such an amazing job of answering all of them with as much enthu.
We were 2 friends (females) and had a private safari and the whole experience felt safe and easy going.
Highly recommend these tours!!

Expert in their field
We had an incredible safari experience in Kenya thanks to Leopard Orchid and specially to Michael from their team. From the very beginning, their expertise was evident-every detail was thoughtfully planned, and they were always quick to respond to our queries. We truly appreciated their flexibility in adjusting the itinerary to suit our needs, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of service provided. Our safari guide Sammy was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, and ensured we spotted all the animals we dreamed of, including the Big Five. Highly recommended for anyone planning a Kenyan safari!

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure
This safari exceeded all our expectations. We were thrilled to see an incredible number of animals in their natural habitat—at least 6 cheetahs, 2 leopards, and multiple lions—along with many other amazing species. The guide Lawrence from Leopard Orchid were knowledgeable and made sure we had the best viewing opportunities. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every moment felt like a scene from a wildlife documentary. Highly recommend this safari to anyone who loves nature and wildlife. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Well experienced driver and respect the nature
Among the many travel agencies, this one responds exceptionally quickly. Any requests are promptly addressed, and updated itineraries are provided without delay. The drivers they arranged were also very experienced (with over 7 years of service). During our trip, we had five different drivers (Kenya → Tanzania → Kenya; with different drivers in Kenya and Tanzania), and they communicated with each other about which animals we had not yet seen, doing their best to help us find them. Their skill in selecting the best photography angles was outstanding.
In Tanzania, when watching the wildebeest river crossing, they were able to reposition the vehicle immediately to secure the best viewpoint (special praise goes to Othmman for his professionalism!). Every morning, the drivers would arrive early to be fully prepared for the day. The midrange accommodations provided in Tanzania were truly impressive, while the budget-level accommodations in Kenya, though not luxurious, still met our expectations.
In Kenya, we encountered an overbooking situation at a campsite, resulting in insufficient tents for our group. Michael immediately made calls to resolve the issue, which gave us great peace of mind.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania, Leopard Orchid Safaris is definitely worth considering.

Had a fantastic 6-day safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris
We booked a safari with Michael. His reactions always were very fast and well written. He provided us with all the information we needed before starting the trip.
Our driver (Alex) did a fantastic job as a guide and driver. We always were at the right position, at the right time. He got us to see the big 5! And all of them very close.
Thank you again, Michael and Alex!

Awesome experience!
We had an incredible 8-day safari exploring Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara with Leopard Orchid Safaris. From the moment I booked with Michael, everything felt smooth and reassuring. He was highly responsive, patiently answered all my detailed questions, and offered a competitive quote that made planning easy and stress-free.
Despite our late arrival at Nairobi airport, we were warmly welcomed by Michael and James(the company director). On the morning our safari began, Michael, James, and our guide Lawrence met us at our hotel for a thorough briefing. Their professionalism and attention to detail immediately put us at ease, and we felt well cared for throughout the journey.
Our guide Lawrence was kind, knowledgeable, and accommodated everything we needed during the trip. Thanks to his expertise, we witnessed some truly once-in-a-lifetime wildlife moments: a pride of lions hunting, a dramatic river crossing of the Great Migration, and a cheetah feasting on its prey. Among the Big Five, we saw 28 lions, countless elephants and buffalos, and 2 rhinos. While we didn’t spot a leopard, we did see two cheetahs up close. Lawrence was very skilled at positioning the vehicle for us to get the best views possible, while always being mindful of other vehicles around us. He enriched our experience by teaching us about animal behavior, local culture, and Kenyan history. His careful driving, both on the road and during safari, made us feel safe every step of the way.
The lodges and camps selected by Leopard Orchid were comfortable and well located for maximizing our game drives. One morning, we even woke up to zebras grazing just outside our cabin.
Every day of this safari was memorable. We definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris, especially with Lawrence as a guide.
