Leopard Orchid are an exceptionally professional and cooperative operator delivering flawless Kenya.
Huge thanks to Leopard Orchid for an amazing safari experience in Kenya! From the initial welcome right up to our final drop-off, their service was top-notch.
We had a large group of 17 people, and the team handled all our arrangements smoothly and cooperatively. All our drivers were super helpful, highly skilled, and guided us brilliantly throughout the safari game drives. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kenya!

Dream safari trip
The actual safari itself was brilliant, the lodges we stayed in were excellent, the food was always nice. Really good value for money, we did 5 day mid range safari and it was perfect amount of time. Damian our driver was also great, very knowledgeable and friendly and we felt well looked after.
Only negative was I had asked company for final itinerary which they didn’t send and the order of our safari and a lodge we stayed at had changed. We were with a group going 4 day and then joined a different group and driver for our fifth day. But the company was easily contactable and everything was booked for us.

Amazing safari with Kush! He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable!
What a fantastic safari! We enjoyed every moment of these incredible days in Kenya, and having Kush as our guide made all the difference.
He really put in the effort to find the animals and make sure we could see them up close. We especially appreciated how flexible and attentive he was, always adapting to what we wanted to see and taking the time to explain interesting things about the animals and their behaviour.
Seeing four of the Big Five on our very first day was a wonderful surprise, but the whole safari was full of memorable experiences.
A huge thank you to Kush for making this trip so special. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Kenya!

An unforgettable safari experience – Thank you, Anton and the Suricata team!
We spent four unforgettable days exploring the Serengeti, Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater, with Anton as our guide. We absolutely loved every moment of the experience, and he was a huge part of what made it so special.
Anton was an incredible guide, not only because of his knowledge and dedication, but also because of his personality. He was always in a great mood, full of positive energy, and even when unexpected issues came up or everyone was getting tired towards the end of the day, he somehow always managed to keep smiling and maintain a positive attitude. It was clear how hard he worked to make sure we had the best possible experience, constantly looking after us and going the extra mile to make our trip memorable.
I will wholeheartedly recommend Anton to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
To finish our trip, we visited Lake Manyara with Robert in an open jeep, and what an amazing experience it was! Robert was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who went beyond simply showing us the animals. He explained the science behind their behaviours, their habits and everything happening around us. I was particularly impressed by his genuine curiosity, passion and dedication to his work. You could really feel how much he loves what he does. It was the perfect way to end our trip. Thank you so, so much, Robert, for such a memorable experience!
One of the things that touched us most, beyond the safari itself, was witnessing the sense of community among the guides. Whenever a vehicle needed assistance or something had to be fixed, guides would immediately come together to help one another, even when working for different companies. It was beautiful to see how genuine this support was. You could really feel that they are one big family, looking out for each other. That is something we will remember just as much as the incredible wildlife encounters.
And a special thank you to the entire Suricata team. All the hotels and lodges were amazing, and we met so many hardworking, welcoming people along the way. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, the Suricata team took great care of us. Even when our luggage didn’t arrive at the airport, they handled everything and coordinated with the airport to make sure we received our backpack in time for the safari. That level of care and attention made such a difference and gave us complete peace of mind.
Something else that really impressed us was all the organisation and hard work that goes into making a safari happen, something I think many people don’t fully realise when booking this kind of experience.
Behind every day in the parks, there is so much happening behind the scenes: coordinating vehicles and suppliers, having extra cars available in case something happens to a jeep, preparing all the food, organising and packing the picnic boxes, making sure there is always enough water, and even taking care of all the fuel logistics. Every day, our jeep was also cleaned and prepared for the following adventure.
All these details might seem small individually, but together they require an incredible amount of coordination, teamwork and dedication. What impressed us even more was seeing how much of this work happens after the team has already spent a long, tiring day out in the parks. The effort behind the scenes is just as impressive as the experience we get to enjoy as guests. It really made us appreciate the entire team even more.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Anton, Robert and everyone at Suricata, for making this trip so special. We will be recommending you without hesitation!

Anton and Robert are amazing human beings and excellent professionals.
We thought we were going to have a lifetime experience during our first visit to Africa and our first safari but this experience went much beyond.
Excellent organisation from the Suricata team - that supported us since the first day as our luggage got stuck in Kenya. After a turbulence arrival, they provided us all their attention and on the next day we woke up with our luggage picked up and delivered to the hotel.
After that, all was perfect. The lodges, the game drives, the relationship within the car was top notch. Anton is genuinely a great human being and very kind, always with a smile in his face although sometimes we faced some hiccups proper from an adventure in the nature, surrounded with beautiful animals from the big 5 to the least loved, yet as amazing animals like hyenas, pumbas, serval cats, giraffes, etc.
Even the group that the Suricatas organized in our car was simply the best possible.
Last, on the last day we did a safari in Lake Manyara with an open jeep with Robert and, again, what an amazing human being. These kind of experiences reminds us that the world is made of beautiful people and this is how we are able to create unforgettable experiences.
A special thanks also to the entire team, that organized everything perfectly and were working hard in the background to make the whole experience as good as possible. From the supply cars, the drivers that are constantly supporting each other when needed, to the crews from the lodges.
Suricatas is a must and will be our recommendation to everyone.
