Very good operator for safari games
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
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.

This is a professional and responsible tour operator.
We had a great experience. We were met at the airport from the moment we got off the plane. Our tour guides were very responsible and took us to see the Great Migration and the Big Five. They loved their work and quickly resolved any problems they encountered. Overall, we highly recommend it.

A fantastic company eager to meet your every need.
The whole experience with Leopard Orchid Safari’s from beginning to end has been fantastic. From my first call with Michael he gave me confidence he would plan a trip tailored to our interests and budget. Michael was then very helpful and responsive in the run up to our trip, answering questions and organising trains for us and it was evident he wanted to make the safari experience the best possible for us. We then had a lovely welcome at the start of the safari and introduction to Patrick our guide for eight days. Patrick was amazing in how he looked after us from the beginning to the end of the safari. We felt in safe hands and cared for and learned a huge amount about the amazing wildlife we saw as well as learning more about Kenya. He was determined to make our trip memorable and had genuine excitement about spotting animals and making our own discoveries in lesser frequented parts of the parks. His approach with everyone he dealt with was kind, respectful and fun which I am sure helps Leopard Orchid have a great reputation with all the lodges and guides they partner with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Excellent organisation and wonderful places
The safari was perfect either for the organisation or for the accommodation. No more to say on the places because they leave you without words. Paul, our driver and guide, was excellent. Very gentle and with a safe drive. He was very open to our requests. I suggest to choose Leopard for your safaris.

Impeccable organization and coordination of the safari.
When planning a trip to Kenya, I chose Leopard Orchid Safaris out of 15 similar operators. Michael, the manager, offered us an ideal program at a really competitive price. During our month of communication before booking, he patiently, attentively and promptly answered all our questions and changes. He also personally met us at the airport. Even after the end of the Safari, Michael continued to stay in touch and helped us quickly solve the problem with moving around Kenya.
Our Game-driver on the safari Lawrence is a great professional who loves his job. In just 1.5 days in Masai Mara, he showed us all the animals that we really wanted to see, some moments were simply magical (for example, an elephant that appeared out of nowhere, 10 minutes after we asked Lawrence about elephants). Lawrence finally and irrevocably made us fall in love not only with the Safari but with Kenya in general.
In general, the entire Leopard Orchid Safaris team (we managed to meet other employees + the owners) are excellent professionals who are "on fire" with their work, adore their country and animals. And these, I believe, are the best conditions for an ideal Safari.
Thank you, Leopard Orchid Safaris, for an exceptional experience that words can’t fully capture. Looking forward to returning next year!

The service was fantastic, starting from the booking process & ending with the great safari tour
Leopard Orchid Safaris exceeded our expectations — they did a great job! This started with the perfect booking process and the operators' great, really fast support. The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide, Lawrence, was always looking for the best spots to show us as many animals as possible. He was very helpful and answered all our questions with his great knowledge. Thanks to him, we were able to spot almost all of the Big Five of the Masai Mara. The accommodation met our expectations, and the food was delicious at all times. We would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see wild animals up close in a respectful way. We definitely got our money's worth, as we even had a private tour with our own guide and jeep.

Hassle free and a memorable trip!
We finally lived our Maasai Mara dream and it was such an amazing experience.
Super grateful to Michael who was such an integral part of the whole planning process, answering all our queries so promptly and curating such a customised itinerary.
Also a big thank you to our guide Sammy for taking us around all the places, taking us to spots where we could see all the Big 5. Curiosity got the better of me with never ending questions on the wildlife there and he did such an amazing job of answering all of them with as much enthu.
We were 2 friends (females) and had a private safari and the whole experience felt safe and easy going.
Highly recommend these tours!!

Expert in their field
We had an incredible safari experience in Kenya thanks to Leopard Orchid and specially to Michael from their team. From the very beginning, their expertise was evident-every detail was thoughtfully planned, and they were always quick to respond to our queries. We truly appreciated their flexibility in adjusting the itinerary to suit our needs, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of service provided. Our safari guide Sammy was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, and ensured we spotted all the animals we dreamed of, including the Big Five. Highly recommended for anyone planning a Kenyan safari!
