Professional, friendly and well organised agency
This was our first Safari and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The agency provided us with all the information we needed beforehand and were very responsive to our questions, also during our trip. Everything was planned out very well and worked out. Isaac is an amazing guide with big knowledge about the different parks and where to find all the animals. Furthermore, he is genuinely a very nice person and took very good care of us! We visited Samburu, Ol-Pejeta, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. All parks have a slightly different vegetation, so it was interesting to see the differences. Thanks for this amazing experience!

Exceptional service and attention to detail. Nothing too much trouble.
From the initial request for a quote to dropping us off at Nairobi airport to go on to our next destination I cannot fault anything. Michael who helped with our itinerary was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble even when I requested changes and additions. Paul our driver and guide was a wealth of knowledge and we learnt so much about the animals and how to identify them. He was a great ambassador for Leopard Orchid.
I would highly recommend this firm to book your holiday of a lifetime or short trip safari

An exciting and adventurous experience!
I had an amazing time on my safari with Karibu Tena. It was my first time on a safari and I was amazed by the amount of wildlife we where able to have an amazing view of. We saw the big 5: Rhino, Lion, Elephants, Leopard, and African Buffalo as well as many more fascinating animals I had never even heard of like the Genet Cat and the Lilac Roller. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and shared with us so such of the wildlife, history, language, and culture of Africa and I could not recommend this tour more. Not to mention our amazing Chef John!

Excellent guides and schedules
We just returned from two weeks of game drives, first week in Uganda,
second in Rwanda . We selected Mandrill African Safaris to organize
everything and it was an extraordinary experience. Great communication
prior to the trip-and I had tons of questions, to check-ins during the
trip making sure everything was going well. The accommodations they
arranged were amazing, and all of the guides were stellar. We got our
Big Five and plenty more. Mandrill arranged all of flights within the
countries, and the flights between the two, as well.
In Rwanda we enjoyed game drives in the Akagera national park,. In
Uganda we searched The Queen Elizabeth National park, Murchision Falls
and Kidepo Valley and Lake Mburo park.
Our guides did an incredible job locating the animals and with their
knowledge of their behaviors, we saw several many big cats!!
It truly was beyond our expectations!
If seeing lots of wild animals is on your bucket list, book with
Mandrill African Safaris Safaris.

Exceptional service!
My husband and I had an unforgettable trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, expertly planned by Susan based on our preferences. The accommodations she selected in Cape Town, Zimbabwe, and Botswana were among the best we've experienced, with Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge being a standout highlight—truly out of this world. The safaris in Chobe National Park and Kruger National Park were absolutely incredible.
Susan was always available, approachable, and flexible, and she thoroughly prepared us for the journey. We are extremely satisfied with the trip and look forward to booking with her again soon.

Professional and helpful
I did a five day safari. The safari at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks was amazing! I chose to stay in a tent which I think was the best way to connect to the nature. I saw all the big fives and took many photos and videos. It was an experience that I never envisaged that would change my perspective of life but it did. I would like to come back next time to learn more about not only the nature and the animals but also the Maarsai culture and how to engage with them.

Unforgettable 15-Day Safari! Fantastic Guide!
Our three-generation family of six had an unforgettable 15-day safari experience thanks to Jon Paul, our dedicated safari guide at Serengeti Smile. Jon Paul was knowledgeable, punctual and professional, with a friendly, welcoming demeanor and willingness to answer our endless line of curious questions during the trip. He was a wealth of knowledge concerning wildlife hotspots, animal behavior, local customs and Tanzanian culture. He was experienced (25 years) and well connected with the safari community; he always knew exactly where to be in order to ensure first-class wildlife sightings for our family on any given day. He put our needs above all else and customized our daily game drives to suit our preferences in the moment. Every day out was successful, with highlights including spotting 6 cheetahs within one hour in Central Serengeti, watching a lion feed on a wildebeest in the midst of the great migration in the Western Serengeti, spotting two black rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater, finding seven leopards, including a captivating close-up encounter for our family alone in Tarangire, and locating several tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara. Jon Paul was very familiar with the lodges and logistics during our travels, coordinated our boxed lunches and kept our crew comfortable (including 2 kids) throughout the journey. Serengeti Smile enabled us to experience a customized itinerary enriched with numerous cultural experiences and add-ons, including meeting and engaging with the Maasai, Hadzabe and Datoga people, going on several walking safaris with park rangers, handling ancient fossils in the Olduvai Gorge, and partaking in a hot air balloon ‘safari from the sky.’ The variety of excellent lodges on our trip kept the evenings exciting and offered great sunset views; the food and evening entertainment were great every step of the way. Thank you to Serengeti Smile and Jon Paul for making this trip truly extraordinary and unforgettable for three generations of our family!
