Discovering the beauty of Zanzibar
Zanzibar was such a wonderful experience! Visiting the spice farms was interesting, and I enjoyed learning about the different spices. Jozani Forest was another highlight, especially seeing the red colobus monkeys. The beaches with its white sand and clear blue waters were beautiful, and I loved having time to relax and enjoy the scenery. A special thank you to my guide, Haji, who made the experience even more memorable. I had a great time and would definitely recommend Armadillo Adventures!

Excellent safari, smooth communication
I booked a solo safari to Samburu (Buffalo Springs National Reserve) and Ol Pejeta Conservancy with Branola safaris very last minute, and it was a super smooth experience that resulted in a memorable trip!
I reached out barely more than a week before my planned departure, and received a prompt response back on the same day. Joyce, who handled my booking, was patient even when I needed some time to confirm my availability. My optional trips (a night safari drive) were easily added to the tour.
My driver, Moses, was knowledgeable about the park and the animals, and kept a positive attitude throughout the safari despite us briefly having issues with our tires (which were easily and competently resolved!). He was approachable and friendly, making the long drive to Samburu and back enjoyable rather than tedious.
Both accomodations I stayed at were beautiful and well-chosen for the parks I visited. I was happy with the first suggested camps, but I'm sure they would have happily adjusted the itinerary if I had other preferences.
Overall, I had an amazing trip and would happily book with Branola again - smooth and friendly from start to finish! I'd also recommend the Samburu+Ol Pejeta combination to anyone who is looking for really varied environments packed into a short trip, combined with emptier parks than the more well-known parks to the south.

Lucky to have Andrew as our guide on our first Safari
We had the most amazing time with Serengeti Wakanda thanks to our guide Andrew and Gwen, who organised the tour. We were picked up at the airport and taken care of until we left Arusha 6 days later. Our guide Andrew not only seems to know everything about the animals in Tanzania, he was also professional, on time and fun. And he was an amazing driver who spotted even the best hidden animals (we saw two leopards, three cheetahs and two serval cats, just to name a few). He claimed we were super lucky to spot those, while we strongly believe that we were more lucky to have him as our guide. The price was fairly high and worth every dollar we paid.
We found room for improvement only in the serving sizes. We were just given too much food every day, no matter what we tried.

Amazing trip - exactly as promised. Fantastic guide, great hotels and wonderful animal experiences
We did a 7-day safari with Rochar in October 2026 - Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Maji Moto - as a family with two young kids.
Communication was clear and precise from the start. Phinorah was very helpful in sparring with us and adjusting the itinerary until it fit our family.
Everything happened as agreed. No surprises, no hidden costs.
The hotels and experiences fully lived up to our expectations. Some of them were simply amazing.
We saw all the important animals, including a leopard walking around in the open, and lions passing right next to our car.
Our driver and guide Gideon was extremely reliable and helpful. He knew a lot about the animals, and he handled the car very well on some very challenging roads. He always adjusted the plan to what worked for us and the kids, and made the long days easy.
A small story that says a lot: our daughter forgot her cuddly toy cat in a remote village, and we only found out when we were 10 hours away. Gideon sorted out everything and got the cat back to us, without asking for anything in return. It meant the world to her.
Rochar also helped with all the logistics around the train station and transfers after the safari. A big help, and very reliable.
When we go back to Kenya, Rochar and Gideon will be our first call.

An exceptional operator who turned a splendid safari into an unforgettable experience
A big shout-out to Leopard Orchid Safaris for making our African safari dream come true!
From the very beginning to the very end, the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. They don’t just organise safaris; they make people truly live the African safari dream!
Our guides-cum-drivers, Paul, Lawrence and Francis, were absolutely brilliant. Their seamless driving, incredible knowledge, sharp spotting skills and creative ideas for game-drive sightings made every single day special. More than just professionals, they were friendly, warm and extremely cooperative, always going the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience.
A special mention to Michael, our point of contact while coordinating the entire trip from India. His support throughout the planning process and his priceless hospitality in Nairobi made us feel welcome and taken care of right from the moment we arrived.
Travelling in a group of 17 comes with its own challenges, but Leopard Orchid Safaris handled everything with remarkable ease and professionalism.
It has truly been an absolute experience, and we are already looking forward to planning many more adventures with them!
If experiencing the magic of the African savannahs is on your bucket list, I would wholeheartedly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to each and every one of you. You couldn’t ask for better people to turn that dream into reality.
Until the next safari! 🐘🦁🌍

Absolutely Fantastic
Was an amazing experience. We saw so many animals and the trip was very well organised. Recommend it. I appreciate that they respect the animals a lot and that they don’t invade their territory.
