Outstanding safari experience from start to finish
5/5

Leopard Orchid Safaris were outstanding in every way. Michael provided excellent information and options for our trip. He responded very quickly to all our questions and kept us right. He provided various accommodation options and the one he suggested for Amboseli, Kibo, was superb. We were delighted to meet him at the start of our trip. Paul our driver and guide for the week was very knowledgeable and brilliant at finding all the different animals. We felt very safe and reassured with him including being up close to the lions! He was very much part of our safari and we really enjoyed his company. I know it can be difficult to choose a company from the many safaris on offer but I would thoroughly recommend Leopard Orchard and we were so pleased that we chose them.

Perfect safari holiday
5/5

Me and my husband spent 7 days around Kenya in early october. We booked our safari with Leopard Orchid Safari and, from the very first enquiry they were incredibly responsive and always available to accommodate every request.
When we arrived in Nairobi, our driver and guide Alex was waiting for us.
During our trip, we decided to focus on Kenya's main parks (Amboseli, Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha).
Alex was the perfect guide and driver: tireless, extremely passionate about wildlife, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating information about the animals we encountered and gave us unforgettable moments thanks to his sharp eye for spotting animals from afar and his deep understanding of the parks.
We also had the chance to talk with him about Kenyan culture and history, which made the experience even more enriching and memorable.
Overall, I 100% recommend this tour operator. Thank you for making a dream come true!

Appreciation for the Honest and Sincere Support from the Staff and the Leopard Orchid Safaris
5/5

We were scheduled to join the 8-Day Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai Mara Expedition with Leopard Orchid Safaris in September 2025, as a family of three — my wife, our two-year-old son, and myself.
Before booking, we compared several tour companies, as this was going to be our very first safari trip with a small child. We were looking for a company we could truly trust.

Our consultant, Mr. Elijah, responded quickly and always answered our many questions with patience and professionalism. His honest and thoughtful communication made us decide to book with Leopard Orchid Safaris.

Unfortunately, several days before our departure, I suffered a serious injury, and we were forced to cancel our long-awaited safari. The doctor confirmed that traveling was not possible.

Even though it was a last-minute cancellation, Leopard Orchid Safaris handled all hotel and tour cancellations promptly and kindly arranged a refund of most of our deposit, which we had not expected at all.
We were deeply moved by their sincerity and fairness in handling the situation.

Once I fully recovers, we would love to book our safari again with Leopard Orchid Safaris.
We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks once again to Mr. Elijah for his understanding and genuine support throughout this experience.

Thank you very much for your honesty and professionalism.

Made our dreams come true
5/5

This was the best holiday and safari we could hope for. Michael organized a perfect trip. We went to Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and then Masai Mara. It was perfect. I just want to shout out our amazing driver Sami who went above and beyond and showed great enthusiasm and passion for what he does. He got up early every day to show us the best of each park and we seen it all. Without Sami this trip would not have been as special as it was. He knew the best spots and was so helpful to others out there. A true gent. Thank you

Wonderful safari experience perfectly organized by the tour operator!
5/5

Thank you very much for the exciting 11-day safari. The tour was perfectly planned and very well organized, and above all, Sammy was a great guide who was always in the right place at the right time to get a perfect view of the animals (and he also provided lots of information about the flora and fauna—we learned a lot). The organization and guide are highly recommended.

Everyone we interacted with was incredibly helpful, friendly, communicative, & went above & beyond!
5/5

We had the most amazing time with Leopard Orchid Safaris! Our booking agent Michael was extremely communicative and responded to inquiries SO quickly, and as a bonus, dealt with the airline and hassled to get our luggage to us after they did not arrive.
Then, our guide Lawrence earned an 11/10 rating for our 8-day safari!! Not only was he friendly and funny, but was also very patient, informative, and accommodating. In terms of safari guide, he has very intimate knowledge of the parks and animals. He worked hard to find us the best experience/viewings possible of the animals we wished to see, while still respecting their space. I would absolutely recommend him for your dream safari. Next time we’re back, we will definitely ask for Lawrence!!

Very good operator for safari games
5/5

We had a very positive experience overall with Leopard Orchid Safaris.
1. Our guide was excellent — he truly gave his maximum effort to help us spot wildlife, while always showing respect for the environment and for other travelers.
2. The operator is reliable and we felt supported throughout the trip.
3. That said, the plan we received from the office could be optimized in terms of driving times. I would recommend checking carefully how the distribution of tours across different parks is set up, as this could make the experience smoother.
4. We did encounter some issues with one of the hotels, but our guide was extremely effective in finding solutions. For future travelers, I suggest checking hotel reviews on Google Maps or Booking.com before confirming accommodations with the operator.

Overall, a trustworthy operator with excellent guides. With a few adjustments on logistics and hotel selection, the experience can be even better.

Friendly and experienced
5/5

The staff were very friendly as they picked us up and took us to the airport and we had a smooth flight to our destination at the Masai Mara. Our friendly guide picked us up at the airport and took us on our first safari right from the airport. He was experienced and extremely friendly. We saw lots of animals and he was able to find even several lions on that first day. The hotel iwas very nice and the food very good.

The rest of our trip was awesome. We saw new animals each day. We saw an exceptional amount of lions, including two full prides of seven or more lions each. It was wonderful to see the elephants and the toes and the zebras and the Cape buffalo. Our guide was constantly communicating with the other drivers and guides to find the best animal sightings and give us the best experience. We finished our trip by seeing the elusive leopard. Overall it was a fantastic three days.
