Our Second Safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris – And Once Again, Amazing!
This was our second safari in Kenya with Leopard Orchid Safaris, and once again the experience exceeded all our expectations.
This time we visited Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West National Parks. Even though we booked during the high season with very little time before our departure, the team quickly put together an excellent itinerary, recommended fantastic accommodations with great value for money, and took all of our preferences into account. Every detail of the trip was perfectly organized, from transfers to lodge check-ins, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the safari.
A special thank you to Michael for his professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. He made the entire planning process smooth, easy, and completely stress-free.
We would also like to thank our guide, Fred, who is a true professional. His knowledge of Kenya's wildlife, the national parks, and animal behavior is simply outstanding. We were especially impressed by Tsavo, where the vast landscape and dense vegetation make spotting wildlife much more challenging than in more open parks. Thanks to Fred's experience, patience, and exceptional tracking skills, we were able to see almost every animal we had hoped to encounter. On top of that, he shared fascinating insights about the animals, their behavior, and the unique ecosystems of each park, making every game drive even more memorable.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt that the itinerary had been carefully tailored to our interests rather than being just another standard safari package. It was clear that everyone on the team genuinely cares about creating unforgettable experiences for their guests.
Leopard Orchid Safaris is a company you can truly trust with your dream safari. We wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya❤️

Dream Come True
Daniel helped us plan a fabulous trip to Kenya. He developed an itinerary based on our interests, time frame and budget. Our guide, Peter, was wonderful and worked hard to ensure we saw the animals and birds we were interested in, plus helped ensure we had good opportunities to photograph them. We came home with fabulous photographs and memories. The lodging was all very comfortable and each place was able to handle my food allergy. I cannot say enough about the people we met at each lodge. Their friendliness and caring made a great vacation special. We hope to take another trip with Transtrek Safaris.

My dream come true
The 3 day safari experience with Iyana was by far the best travel experience of my life. The ease of communication with my driver and the tour operators helped us feel supported and prepared before we even left. Every single detail of this experience went above and beyond my expectations. The safari experience itself was my dream come true, our driver, komora, went above and beyond to give us the most magical game drives and customized the experience to what we wanted at all times. The accommodations we stayed at were so clean, comfortable, and so much more luxurious than we expected for the price we paid. We especially loved the food and drinks at both hotels, it was one of the best breakfast and dinner buffets we have ever had! I seriously can’t think of a single complaint about this experience, it was truly a dream and I would recommend booking with this company to anyone who wants to do a safari.

Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
We had an absolutely perfect safari experience with African Big Cats. From the first interactions the team was highly responsive and tailored the itinerary to our preferences. They planned everything seamlessly and all the lodges we stayed in along the way, hand picked by them, were fantastic. Huge shoutout to our guide, Frank, whose deep knowledge and sparkling humor made even the earliest and longest of drives an absolute pleasure. We would recommend African Big Cats to anyone and hope one day to return!

John Goodson and the whole company are the best, they give it their all.
John and Godson and the best Ndoto company I have ever had. They gave me the highest level of books. A good car. The best driver. John. Both eat and plenty of fruit. Kosher food and everything I wanted. John explained all the animals in a relaxed manner and found all the animals for us at the best value.

Personalized and fascinating experience with amazing itinerary and guide.
We were a family of four, the youngest of us being 19 years old, and went with Jocky Tours. We wanted a longer safari of 12 days, and together with Maadam Minneh, we planned a personalized trip.
We did Nairobi to Aberdare to Samburu to Nakuru to Masai Mara to Naivasha/Hells Gate to Amboseli to Tsavo east, and then they took us to Diani Beach where the safari ended.
The itinerary was excellent; it left room to adapt and breathe where necessary. If it weren't for this adaptability, we wouldn't have been able to see rhinos in Nakuru due to having poor luck in the only game drive planned. Luckily we could adapt and do a quick game drive the next morning and saw plenty of rhinos the next morning.
Now enters the star of the show, our guide Kikitu. If I had to describe him in a few words, it would be. Incredibly hardworking, funny, knowledgeable, and social.
This man literally knows everyone: all the staff in the hotels, all the other guides, all the national park workers, and everything, and they all like and love him. This often helped as they gave us tips on where animals were, helped us when needed, and plenty of other things.
He also explained to us a lot of things about the country. From the animals and the parks to the history, religion, and modern politics of the country. He always knew what to say and explain.
He also worked very many and long hours just to make our safari as good as possible. The game drives always delivered, the long car trips were always interesting and felt short (the car trips were lowkey sweet for catching up on sleep).
Masai Mara was the crown jewel for me. We had two unforgettable full-day game drives, and both were special, fresh, different, and constantly entertaining.
But it's also the most mainstream park, and while being both full of fauna and astonishingly beautiful, I also felt like it didn't show the whole picture of the natural beauty that Kenya offers
That's why for me Samburu and Tsavo East, being much less popular parks, were absolutely essential for the trip. Samburu for the multitude of animals only found there and Tsavo for the breathtaking red elephants and red earth.
Just as a final statement. Kikitu always went above and beyond in order for us to have the best experience possible, and there is nothing I could ask of a guide that he didn't deliver.

Amazing safari with the best company and crew
We had a great experience going on safari with Mimsoft as part of our honeymoon in Kenya. The safari itself was amazing and we had the best guide, George, who was super nice, so full of knowledge, a great driver and easy going as a person. The communication, service and flexibility with Mimsoft was great from the beginning till the end. We couldn't be happier, and I would recommend anybody who wants to go on a safari to book Mimsoft, they are truly the best.
