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.

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.

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！
Amazing service and holiday
My wife and I have just come back from a safari in Botswana, followed by a stay in Victoria Falls. It was an amazing time and far exceeded our expectations. It was the holiday of a lifetime. The recommendations and itinerary were put together by Clive Murray of Safari 365. He could not have done more for myself and my wife. His knowledge and expertise re the area was invaluable. He helped us every step of the way and made the whole experience for us fabulous. We would thoroughly recommend anyone to use him and Safari 365. We have memories which will last a lifetime. Thank you.

Excellent memory
This Kenya trip was truly unforgettable — we saw over 60 different kinds of animals, every single one we had hoped to see. Africa is so beautiful, and our guide, Lawrence, was incredibly professional. He has a real gift for communicating with his friends and always getting the latest updates on the animals, which meant we could witness so many amazing scenes without too much effort. Lawrence also has a perfect sense of humor — though he called us “boss,” we got along like brothers and sisters. Every day, he would wash the vehicle clean, and even scrub and neatly arrange our shoes. He was always punctual. I highly recommend him as a guide, and I truly encourage everyone to visit Kenya. Everyone should experience the savannah of East Africa at least once — to feel the wildness of life and see our planet as it once was.

Very knowledgable and super friendly people.
We loved the warmth of the Tanzanian people and Yahya is simply the best. Planning our safari wasn’t exhausting because he was very easy to talk to. He passionately cared about our experience and wanted us to have the best of everything. We noticed he had strong cultural awareness too because he dealt with different cultures with appropriate sensitivity and concern (even ours!). This was beautiful to see because we told him we were interested in learning about the different cultures in Tanzania. So its safe to say he went above & beyond to give us an unforgettable experience in Tanzania. Credit to our guide Isaac for his experience in locating animals.
