Lawrence is an excellent guide who is humorous kindhearted and knowledgeable
We don’t have to worry about anything, once we landed, they will pick us up at the airport and send us to the airport at the last day. We spent most of the time with Lawrence during safari and he can always help us find the best spot to observe wild animals. We were warmly welcomed and served by all staffs in the hotel and the travel agency.

Paul and John were capable, thoughtful, and unobtrusive. Loved them both.
It's difficult to go wrong with the natural beauty and wonder if Amboselii, but Leopard Orchid made it even better than I expected. Flexible and helpful, proactive. I won't soon forget speeding across the park after hearing a rumor of lions, or the numerous magical appearances we were able to witness. Thanks!

Patrick was was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and made sure we had a positive Safari.
Hello,
We had an incredible time on Safari in Amboseli and Kibo Safari Camp! We feel very fortunate that Patrick was our driver and guide.
Patrick was very kind and knowledgeable, warm and friendly and he has a great sense of humor. He answered all of our questions and he was knowledgeable about all of the animals and their habitat and the environment. Patrick was always concerned for our welfare and made sure that we were comfortable and happy. He understood our interests and priorities made sure that we saw as many animals as possible. He took time at different locations so we really enjoyed observing the animals, the Acacia Trees, the Savannah, Lake Amboseli and Mt. Kilimanjaro.
We had an amazing experience with a beautiful, happy elephant family that was very close to our vehicle. We were able to watch a young elephant wallow and play in the mud, a few week old baby nurse from it’s mother and than lie down and have a nap while the mother and aunties closely surrounded it to protect it. Then one young elephant came so close to the vehicle to eat leaves we could have literally reached out and touched it while we all quietly stood there in awe watching her.
Patrick spotted fat hippos in small ponds fed from the springs out in the Savannah. A tower of 11 giraffes eating in a lush green area quite a distance from the Acacia trees. The giraffes were beautiful and graceful and curious. And Patrick spotted a male lion that we initially thought was a a rock in the tall grass. But eventually the lion lifted his head and then slowly stood up and walked over to another lion that was most likely his younger brother hiding in the grass. We were able to watch these two majestic male lions watch the zebra and gazelle and then they walked straight toward us and right past us to go and cool down under the palm trees in the heat of the day.
Our experience in Amboseli was very fun, magical, special and spiritual. We did not want to leave. Patrick spotted a female lion and as we stood there in the Land Cruiser at the base of Kilimanjaro watching a beautiful lioness sitting in the tall grass the orange sun began to set sending orange and pink hues across the grasslands and turned the snow on the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro a light pink color. Our hearts were full of joy and everything seemed right in the world…at least in this beautiful animal kingdom in Amboseli.
Thank you Leopard Orchid and Patrick for giving us a perfect and beautiful safari experience.
With appreciation and gratitude,
Diane and Marianne

This Kenya trip creating memories to last a lifetime.
This 13-day Kenya trip was unforgettable: tracking the Special Five in Samburu, seeing rare caracals, elephant families playing in water, black rhinos and hyenas competing for lion prey in Sweetwater, waterbirds and lions mating at Lake Nakuru, the Big Five in Maasai Mara with impressive leopards and majestic lions, cheetahs and herbivores, hiking near animals at Lake Naivasha, flamingos and elephants in Amboseli. We saw almost all animals, thanks to Leopard Travel's careful arrangements and Mr. Lawrence's professional guiding. Grateful and will visit Kenya again.

Better than we could have ever imagined!
We originally booked and communicated with Elijah through email as opposed to booking through an agency, which felt a bit daunting. However, Elijah was friendly and efficient, helped us with any questions we had and created the perfect package for us that fit our situation and budget.
After landing in Nairobi, we were greeted at the gate by Elijah, who was again very friendly and made us feel at ease. He explained to us what to expect on the trip and introduced us to Patrick, our guide for the week.
From the very beginning, Patrick was always friendly, answered every question we had and was receptive to what we wanted from our trip. He worked tirelessly to ensure that our trip ran seamlessly and made it an incredible experience for us. He communicated efficiently any minor changes (small things like changing days for activities etc) and still made sure everything ran smoothly. Even doing things like checking us in to our accomodation and making bookings for us, which made our trip so stress-free! As it was my first safari, I was nervous at the beginning, but Patrick immediately made us feel safe and at ease throughout the whole experience, making it easily one of the best experiences of my life! When he found out we were on our honeymoon, he truly went above and beyond to make our entire experience unforgettable. 😊 The whole safari was incredible, Patrick knew where to look for each animal and his excitement was infectious when we found them! I'd say we were lucky to see such incredible animals/encounters on our safari but I believe it's entirely down to Patrick knowing his stuff and being an excellent guide. The long car rides between camps were also made much more enjoyable with chatting and getting to know Patrick too!
We would wholeheartedly recommend anyone and everyone to book with Leopard Orchid Safaris (particularly with Patrick!). I can't imagine a better experience! Thank you Patrick and Leopard Orchid Safaris 😊

Alex, the best guide/driver and a wonderful experience
We had the most incredible experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris, and our driver and guide, Alex, truly made it unforgettable. From the very beginning, Alex was warm, attentive, funny and deeply knowledgeable. Over the course of six days, he taught us so much — not only about the wildlife, but also about Kenyan culture, history, and everyday life. He opened our eyes in ways we didn’t expect, and always went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of every game drive, getting us as close as possible to the animals while keeping everyone safe and respectful of nature.
We have never encountered such kindness in our lives — Alex is truly a beautiful soul. His generosity, humility, and genuine care left a lasting impact on us. The goodbye was very emotional because we shared such a meaningful journey. We know we will never forget it — this will undoubtedly remain one of the most beautiful moments of our lives. We will always be grateful for everything he did.
The lodges selected by Leopard Orchid Safaris were also perfectly chosen — comfortable, welcoming, and well-located.
We recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris 100%, and Alex 200%. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in for something truly special.

A truly unforgettable 6-day safari
From the start, Elijah was incredibly helpful and responsive. He took great care to tailor the trip to our needs, from working within our budget to accommodating lodge changes. His clear communication and flexibility made the whole planning process feel easy and reassuring.
But it was our guide Alex who truly made the trip extraordinary. From day one, he welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm. Over the course of six days, he became so much more than a guide; he was a teacher, storyteller, and wonderful travel companion. He shared not only his deep knowledge of wildlife but also gave us insight into Kenyan culture, its people, and even taught (read, tried to teach) us a few words of Swahili.
He went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of every day adjusting the itinerary as we went to suit our pace, interests, and energy. His kindness, curiosity, and good humour made every moment feel meaningful. He brought so much heart to the experience, and we learned more than we ever expected. We feel incredibly lucky to have shared this journey with someone so passionate and generous.
Asante sana, Alex — you’re a kind soul and an amazing guide. We won’t forget you.

Highly recommended Kenya Safari Tour Operator .
There are four of us from Malaysia. We were very satisfied with such superb service provided by Leopard Orchid Safaris.
8 days safari tour is such a memorable experience for all of us. From the beginning of day 1, everything were went smoothly. We depart from our hotel in Nairobi to Amboseli. In the evening we have shot safari trip in Amboseli where we saw wild animals.
We covered Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and of course Maasai Mara Safari park. The driver cum our guide, Mr Joshua was vere pleasant, expert, professional and very attentive driver.
He bring us to most of the animals where we have seen superfast sprint cheetah chasing wildebeest for its lunch! Such a memorable experience!!!
Apart from that, we have seen group of lions having their own lunch eating zebra and wildebeest as well in different two occasions!
Wow it was really wonderful and such a very professional service. Our problem with regards to lack of hot water shower in our toilet at Maasai Mara Sentrim camp was smoothly resolved by helping both the Safari operator as well as Sentrim Maasai Mara lodge.
The accommodation and foods throughout our stays in the whole trip are meeting our expectations and to the some extent exceeded our expectations!
I thus would STRONGLY RECOMMEND LEOPARD ORCHID SAFARIS as the best safari tour operator.
