Not only very nice, but he was knowledgeable and patient and brought a great experience for us
My girlfriend and I spent eight nights with Leopard Orchards and honestly, it was an amazing experience. If you’re thinking about doing a safari, I would definitely recommend going with the private experience. For us, it was 100% worth it.
I also wouldn’t recommend doing a safari for just a couple of days. Having eight nights gave us enough time to really enjoy it without feeling rushed, and we got to see so much.
The biggest thing for me was our driver, Paul. You could tell right away that he genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. He would go out of his way to get us to the best locations and make sure we got the most out of every day. He wasn’t just driving us around — he really knew what he was doing.
Paul was also incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the landscape. Anytime we had a question, he had an answer, and he was always happy to explain what we were seeing. He was also very patient with us and never made us feel rushed.
Honestly, everything you would want in a safari driver, Paul has. His experience and passion really made a difference in our trip.
The vehicle was great too and made the long days out on safari very comfortable.
Overall, I would highly recommend Leopard Orchards to anyone looking to do a safari. We had an incredible eight nights and made memories that my girlfriend and I will never forget. If you’re going to do it, I’d definitely recommend the private experience and giving yourself at least eight days. You won’t regret it.

Great Safari Experience from Start to Finish
We booked our safari with Daniel, and communication was smooth from the beginning. He tailored the itinerary to our needs and wishes, and we visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. The lodges and hotels recommended by Daniel were all great and definitely contributed to making the overall experience even better.
We had an amazing safari experience with Francis, who made our trip even more enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about life in Kenya, local customs, and wildlife. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviour. While we were in the parks, he often anticipated their movements and knew where to position the vehicle to give us the best possible view. He always made sure we had a great angle to watch the animals and take good photos, which made the game drives even more special. Thanks to him, we were also lucky enough to see all of the Big Five!
Francis was punctual every single day and always arrived at the agreed time. One detail that really stood out to us was how clean he kept the car, especially considering how dusty it gets after the game drives.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Seamless, friendly and the best
We had a wonderful experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris. We did Amboselli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Michael was super helpful and helped us customize our itinerary the way we wanted it. The stays he recommended were all amazing and we had a lovely time at all the properties. They provided excellent value for money and had competitive pricing compared to other tour providers. Also, we want to give a huge shout out to our guide Dan, who made our trip truly memorable and unforgettable. He is such a kindhearted and knowledgeable person. He went out of his way to make us have the best time possible and tried to ensure that we get best views of the animals. His knowledge about the wildlife, their habits, and where to spot them is incredible. If we ever do another safari, we will definitely go with Dan and Leopard Orchid safaris!

The team was welcoming when we arrived the first day
The safari was really great and Paul, our guide, was very kind. He taught us many things about all animals we saw during the safari and we saw all of them !
He was respectful, calm and very patient during our photoshoot.
I can only recommend to do a safari once in your lifetime. It’s an unique experience you will never find anywhere else. It’s really worth with Leopard Orchid Safari.

Friendly & welcoming
We really had an incredible safari experience thanks to Paul!
Throughout the whole trip we could feel his love, passion and respect for the animals and the nature. For each encountered animal, he would share interesting facts.
Moreover, being three girls, we also felt very safe around him.
We really appreciated that he went above and beyond to find the animals we had on our wishlist. In fact, we managed to get a close look at all of the them!
Thanks to his patience, dedication and professionalism, he made our safari trip unforgettable!

Professional, caring, and reliable, with an unforgettable safari experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris during our trip to Kenya. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, everything was well organized. Our airport transfer, Nairobi tour, hotel transfers, and safari arrangements all went smoothly.
We would like to thank Michael for being helpful and responsive throughout our trip. He was always available when we needed assistance and made the organization of our trip very easy.
A very special thank you to Sami, our safari driver and guide, who truly made our experience unforgettable. Sami was extremely successful, professional, knowledgeable, and clearly an expert when it comes to safari. His experience and expertise made a huge difference throughout our time in the Masai Mara.
Thanks to Sami, we were able to see all of the Big five as well as so many other incredible animals and unforgettable moments. He was incredibly skilled at finding wildlife and always made sure that we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the safari, the surroundings, and the animals was truly impressive.
Beyond his professionalism and expertise, Sami was also incredibly kind, patient, friendly, and helpful. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying ourselves, and he went above and beyond for us throughout the entire safari.
By the end of the trip, we felt that we were not simply leaving Kenya with amazing memories, but that we were leaving with a friend. We will always remember Sami with a huge smile and hope to see him again one day. If you book with Leopard Orchid Safaris, we would definitely recommend asking for Sami, he is truly exceptional at what he does.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
If we were to suggest a few areas for improvement, we would say that the hotels could be upgraded slightly, and the picnic/lunch arrangements during the safari could be improved in terms of variety and presentation. However, these are relatively small points compared with the overall quality of the experience and the wonderful service we received.
Thank you to Michael, Sami, and the whole Leopard Orchid Safaris team for giving us such a beautiful and unforgettable Kenya experience. We will remember this trip for a very long time!

An unforgettable safari experience in Kenya
We had an amazing six-day safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris as part of our honeymoon in Kenya.
Everything was well organized from the beginning, and communication before and during the trip was smooth and reliable. Our driver-guide was friendly, professional, and incredibly good at spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos, and many more. We were especially impressed by how he could spot animals from such a long distance and always tried his best to give us the best possible experience.
We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, and Lake Naivasha, and each place offered something completely different. Seeing Mount Kilimanjaro clearly in Amboseli and watching wildlife up close in the Maasai Mara were some of the highlights of our entire trip.
The long drives between the parks were also comfortable, and we always felt safe throughout the safari. The itinerary was well balanced, and the accommodations were also enjoyable.
This was our first safari, and it became one of the most memorable experiences of our honeymoon. We would definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
Thank you for making our trip so special!

THE experience
Where do we even begin? Our experience with Leopard Orchid was simply unforgettable. It is difficult to put into words what we experienced: truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Our guide Joshua, who accompanied us for six whole days, is one of the most friendly, kind and knowledgeable people you could ever meet. In fact, we now consider him a true rafiki (friend in Swahili), to the point that we are already daydreaming about our next trip with him.
His determination and patience allowed us to spot the Big Five — and even get incredibly close to them — as well as countless other animals. Some emotions simply cannot be explained; they have to be experienced.
There may even have been a little tear shed at the end of the safari. :)
Thank you for giving us such unique and unforgettable emotions.
Kwaheri and Hakuna Matata! 🦁🌿
