Perfectly organized, everything went well, you get definitely more than expected
The communication from the beginning was easy - everything went smoothly and worked out perfectly. Leoprad Orchid Safaris organized everthing to our satisfaction, even our individuell wishes have been realized. Pick up from the hotel was on time and the relation with our very good driver Patrick was great from the beginning. His knowledge of the 5 different Parks (Tsavo East and West, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) and of the wild life was extraordinary and contributed a lot to our perfect game drives. We got definitely more than expected, including stuck in a waterhole or "fighting" with an adult male baboon for bread ;-) or a monkey for a banana :-) during a picknick close to Mara River.
Every game drive is different but we were very lucky to see more than only the "Big Fives" in a fantastic sceenery including Kilimandscharo. Be prepared for some looooong drives, but it is worth. The only recommendation from our side, stay in lodges inside the Parks. Accomodation have been extraordinary including delicious meals, but at Amboseli and Lake Nakuru to stay also inside the park would have given more time for game drives. All together, a great adventure and a perfect safari due to the perfect organisation by Leopard Orchid Safaris and our driver Patrick.

Patrick is the best
Elijah picked us from the airport and introduced us to our Driver Patrick and our trip started from that time. Patrick helped us with everything and treated us like family. We had a bit of challenge because our accommodation had very limited electricity but it was solved once we requested them it is very important for us. We travelled to 4 different locations and it was long drives but Patrick made it very comfortable for us. We stayed in beautiful places. It’s called sopa lodge. Nakuru sopa was the best. For safety and comfort I Definitely recommend leopard safari and Patrick. Thank you for making our trip so memorable

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.

Extremely positive and helpful,
Honestly we had two guys that were extremely helpful. Both Elijah and Patrick, were great. Our luggage was lost and Elijah was at the airport while we were on the safari trying to get answers for us.
And then Patrick was the driver, extremely positive guy, we got to see everything with him. No matter how we felt tired or frustrated with not having luggage Patrick was always possible and keeping us going. Over I would highly recommend these guys definitely made the trip great

Review of Leopard Orchid Safaris
My husband and I had a fantastic holiday/experience with our driver/guide David. It is definitely worth upgrading to a Land Cruiser as you can go more places whilst on the game drives, and get better views. All four lodges were more than adequate, with execellent food and we are vegetarian. Each day was a real adventure, David didn't mind starting the day at 6am after we had picked up our packed breakfast and lunch. David slightly changed our itinerary sometimes to maximise our quality time on the game drives and when he knew the weather was going to change, we strongly advise you to trust his knowledge and experience and you will have an amazing time. Prior to our safari Leopard Orchid's Elijah was extremely helpful, we must have exchanged dozens of emails as we designed our safari to our exact requirements, Elijah met us at Nairobi airport and personally handed us over to our driver David, he also met up with us on the last day and came to the airport with us which we thought was great customer service. Throughout our whole trip we knew exactly what was going on all of the time and David was very responsive to our requests. I am sure that if you choose Leopard Orchid Safaris you will have the time of your lives, the most amazing photographs and wonderful memories. Regards Karen and Martin.

An unforgettable trip
My partner and I went on an 8-day safari in the Samburu, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara parks.
On the first day, Elijah picked us up (the one who had organized the custom trip for us), and introduced us to Patrick, who was our guide for the 8 days.
Patrick was excellent, we couldn't have had a better guide. He speaks perfect English and has great knowledge of the country, the parks and all the types of animals you can find. In addition, he is a very good person and cares about the client at all times.
At first we had doubts about the company due to the few opinions we had read about it, but without a doubt it was a great success and we would repeat with them.

Great Experience
The Safari was planned well, covering 3 diverse parks across Kenya. Daniel accommodated all our requests and went out of his way to provide the best experience possible. His vast knowledge of the wildlife made the safari more fun and engaging

Memorable Safari
The trip was well-planned, thanks to Elijah-our organizer. Similarly our guide/driver, Daniel was very knowledgeable on matters of wildlife and a exceptional driver as well. Most of the accommodations were very good except one in Nakuru Lake (poorly managed lodge)
Thanks to Leopard Orchid Safaris for making our trip a success. I highly recommend this company to anyone interested for safari in Kenya.
