Amazing trip - exactly as promised. Fantastic guide, great hotels and wonderful animal experiences
We did a 7-day safari with Rochar in October 2026 - Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Maji Moto - as a family with two young kids.
Communication was clear and precise from the start. Phinorah was very helpful in sparring with us and adjusting the itinerary until it fit our family.
Everything happened as agreed. No surprises, no hidden costs.
The hotels and experiences fully lived up to our expectations. Some of them were simply amazing.
We saw all the important animals, including a leopard walking around in the open, and lions passing right next to our car.
Our driver and guide Gideon was extremely reliable and helpful. He knew a lot about the animals, and he handled the car very well on some very challenging roads. He always adjusted the plan to what worked for us and the kids, and made the long days easy.
A small story that says a lot: our daughter forgot her cuddly toy cat in a remote village, and we only found out when we were 10 hours away. Gideon sorted out everything and got the cat back to us, without asking for anything in return. It meant the world to her.
Rochar also helped with all the logistics around the train station and transfers after the safari. A big help, and very reliable.
When we go back to Kenya, Rochar and Gideon will be our first call.

An exceptional operator who turned a splendid safari into an unforgettable experience
A big shout-out to Leopard Orchid Safaris for making our African safari dream come true!
From the very beginning to the very end, the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. They don’t just organise safaris; they make people truly live the African safari dream!
Our guides-cum-drivers, Paul, Lawrence and Francis, were absolutely brilliant. Their seamless driving, incredible knowledge, sharp spotting skills and creative ideas for game-drive sightings made every single day special. More than just professionals, they were friendly, warm and extremely cooperative, always going the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience.
A special mention to Michael, our point of contact while coordinating the entire trip from India. His support throughout the planning process and his priceless hospitality in Nairobi made us feel welcome and taken care of right from the moment we arrived.
Travelling in a group of 17 comes with its own challenges, but Leopard Orchid Safaris handled everything with remarkable ease and professionalism.
It has truly been an absolute experience, and we are already looking forward to planning many more adventures with them!
If experiencing the magic of the African savannahs is on your bucket list, I would wholeheartedly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to each and every one of you. You couldn’t ask for better people to turn that dream into reality.
Until the next safari! 🐘🦁🌍

Absolutely Fantastic
Was an amazing experience. We saw so many animals and the trip was very well organised. Recommend it. I appreciate that they respect the animals a lot and that they don’t invade their territory.

The coolest experience
We spend two days with Castro as our guide driver. He had a lot of knowledge about the history of Masai mara. He was fast and we got the opportunity to see all the animals. He picked us up sharp on the clock, and we spend wonderful time together as a group. The atmosphere and view was amazing.

The most dedicated tour operator ever
Me and my friends were on this trip with Castro, and I must say, we were SO happy and lucky, that we had him as our operator!
He made sure we saw all the animals very close and from different angles and most times we were one of the first, if not the first ones!
He answered all our questions, he had much knowledge about the animals and the history, and he was polite.
I would definitely and 100% recommend Castro to other foreigners (like myself) who wants to have an amazing experience at Masai Mara!

One of the best experiences of my life
I didn’t see the great migration but I had a great trip. Gerald was super experienced and it showed with every stop and every place where we could see the animals. He was accommodating in every way and watched over us. This was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on.

Good value for a good price.
This safari was a wonderful experience. I had not searched for comfort and luxury but rather professional adventure guidance over the wild fauna in Amboseli. That is exactly what i got and even more. My guide Ernest was experienced, very helpful and competent, he spotted the animals right away and could identify them all. He taught me as well with a field guide about the animals behaviours and a bit of their ecology. It was so interesting. Ernest kindly searched for the best places where i could take pictures and patiently waited for me to try different shots. Thank you very much for this lifetime memory!
