Amazing Safari trip
We had 3 days/2 nights trip from Victoria Falls to Kasane full of Safari rides and short visit to Impalia in Namibia. All very well organized and professional since making arrangements until getting back to Vic. Thanks for unforgettable holiday.

Provides timely responses to email request for information, with clarity and transparency.
I enjoyed communicating with UWD. The planning for my safari was provided clearly which enable me to make timely and cost effective decisions. UWD organised my flights, hotel accommodation, tours and airport transfers here in Bujumbura, Burundi.

Wonderful safari, clear planning, and the best driver Lawrence
We had such a great experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris. Before the trip, Michael was very responsive. Out of all the quotations we compared, Leopard had the clearest and most beautifully presented itinerary. Everything was well-organised and transparent from the start, and all the hotels we requested were arranged exactly as promised. Even The Cliff, which only has 10 rooms, was perfectly booked for us.
Our driver Lawrence was amazing! He drove very smoothly and safely, always slowing down on rough roads to keep us comfortable. He helped us see not only the Big Five, but almost every animal on our wish list, including hyenas, the cutest animals in the world!
We were four female travelers, and Lawrence took great care of us throughout the trip. We often forgot small things or needed extra time, but he was always patient, humorous and never made us feel rushed. When Serena became inaccessible due to road conditions, he handled the change calmly and smoothly.
Lawrence gave us not only a safe safari, but also so much fun and good energy. He is reliable, experienced, funny and caring. We would definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris, especially Lawrence as a driver and guide.

Amazing and outstanding
Axis Africa is the best safari planner for Masai Mara trip. Jacklyne arranged the trip for us coordinating with us everything and once we landed it was taken care by Jack our guide. He is a fun guy and amazing ability to sight wildlife. He is also knowledgeable about different plants and animals. I would recommend everyone to take jack as your guide and Jacklyne as your host.

Fantastic safari, excellent guide, fun accommodations.
We booked a 5-6 day safari and I think that was the perfect length. Hotels were nice overall, the best being the Embalakai camps in the Serengeti just for the immersive experience. Our guide David was fantastic; he was very knowledgeable, navigated the difficult roads like it was nothing and was extremely skilled at finding even the most elusive animals. Communication from the company was great and made our experience in Tanzania smooth from arrival til departure.

Efficient and economical
This is my second experience booking with explore Plus and both bookings were flawless. Naomi and Rita are exceptional. My booking to Botswana was confirmed and booked within a week even with adding on a day. Their services are reliable and great value for money.
We were booked into Elephant Safari Lodge in Savute and Eagle Island Lodge in the Delta. We were met at the airport in Maun on arriving and leaving, by the local representative, who assisted us through the airport. All charter plane transfers were booked and it was a wonderful experience, flying over the delta.
Both lodges were amazing. The staff were friendly, paid attention to the every detail, and made our stay absolutely unforgettable. The rangers were just awesome, our butlers were exceptional and the food was delicious.
We have already recommended these lodges to our friends and family.
Our stay in Botswana felt like our home away from home.

Great family experience
If you’re doubting whether to go on safari with young children — just do it. We went on safari with our kids, including our youngest who is only 3 years old, and it was truly an unforgettable experience for our family.
Everything with Lekobe Safari was very well organized from start to finish. The communication was smooth and clear, and throughout the day we felt completely taken care of. Our guide and driver were incredibly friendly, patient, and wonderful with the children, which made the experience even more enjoyable and relaxed for us as parents.
During our safari in Mikumi National Park we saw so many amazing animals and had an incredible day together as a family. Although we didn’t spot a lion, our guide and driver truly did everything they could to find one for us. You could really see how dedicated and enthusiastic they were, and that made the experience special regardless.
Safari with young children may seem challenging, but Lekobe Safari showed us that it can be comfortable, easy, and absolutely magical. We would highly recommend them to any family considering this adventure.
Very reasonable, ver flexible, patient and the best Safari Tour Guide
I came across Sublime on Google and when I called Michael, I instantly connected with him. He seemed to be very friendly and open-minded. He understood our requirements of the kind of lodging we will enjoy and got the best lodges to our liking.
He understands the terrain in Masai Maara and is well connected with other drivers in the Game Park and took us as close to the animals as possible. In fact, we had our lunch on our 2nd day in the safari while parked 10 feet from 4 lions that were relaxing under the tree.
I think that says it all for Michael and Sublime Travel

Came for the Big Five, stayed for Lawrence’s dry humor！
We came for the Big Five, but left with unforgettable memories thanks to Lawrence.
During our 8-day, 7-night safari from Nairobi – Masai Mara – Nakuru – Naivasha – Amboseli – back to Nairobi, Lawrence helped us spot not only the Big Five — lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos — but also many other incredible animals, including cheetahs, hyenas, hippos, giraffes, zebras, and countless beautiful birds. He even introduced us to the “Ugly Five,” which became one of the funniest running jokes throughout the trip.
What made the experience truly special was how attentive he was to each person’s interests. One of us loved hyenas, another was excited about seeing rock hyraxes, another was determined to find cheetahs, and another dreamed of seeing Mount Kilimanjaro clearly. Somehow, Lawrence made sure every one of us got our own highlight moment during the safari.
Since our group consisted entirely of girls, safety was also very important to us. Throughout the entire trip, we felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Lawrence managed the schedule very professionally, balancing long drives, game drives, rest stops, and lodge arrivals smoothly without making the trip feel rushed.
There was also an unexpected situation on the first day due to flooding, where we were unable to cross a bridge to reach the original lodge. Lawrence communicated with us quickly and calmly, and arranged an alternative hotel of a similar standard almost immediately. We really appreciated how efficiently and professionally he handled the situation.
On top of that, Lawrence has a great sense of dry humor that made every game drive even more enjoyable. Between wildlife sightings and his perfectly timed jokes, the long drives never felt boring.
Thank you, Lawrence and Leopard Orchid Safaris, for making our Kenya safari such a memorable and enjoyable experience！We would absolutely recommend them to anyone visiting Kenya！

Professional operator with knowledgeable guides!
We managed to arrange a safari tailored to our needs, and with many changes to the original plan, everything arranged and followed up by Brenda (kudos!!).
Later on we managed to see the big five in just under 2 days thanks to our guide Swoahibu, who was looking out for game even when we were already tired after a full day of game, and gave us the oportunity to make the most of our safari!
Really a good choice for organizing a Safari!
