Fine
I'd like to travel in group. I did a private trip, but I'd like to find others travellers and to live the experience together

Go Serengeti were helpful, professional and reliable throughout.
The star of the show was of course Tanzania itself but Go Serengeti provided an excellent service in delivering an outstanding safari experience. They were professional and reliable from start to finish (thank you Linah) and were experts in providing a rewarding itinerary for our family. The guide was fun, informative and helpful (thank you King David). The standard of accommodation varied a little but on the whole was excellent (keep up the good work Suricata Boma Lodge).

Excellent safari, great guide Michael 5 stars.One star lost for misunderstanding with the office
The safari was great. The guide Michael very commited to show us the best and to satisfy our requests. The lodges and the tent camps were confortable and in good positions. Just a ..misuderstanding with the office at the end of the safari, with a request of extra money, make loose a star to the experience.

Very good
Saw everything I wanted to. One of the best value for money safari’s. Food was great, camping was very basic but a great budget option. Sometimes timing was a little hard an we had to wait in the morning quite a few times, but I guess that is just Tanzania. Very good experience. Would recommend!

Open to anything and always friendly
We spent two days in the Serengeti and one day in the Ngorongoro Crater. The camps we booked were just as described—simple but clean. The food was delicious everywhere, and the teams were very attentive. We will definitely be back! On the fourth day, we made a spur-of-the-moment visit to a waterfall at the foot of Mount Meru, which was also well worth it. Tanzania is incredibly diverse; we are thrilled by the variety the country has to offer and, above all, by the friendliness of the people.

Everything was well handled from the Agents side.
Was a great experience, would like to have been informed about the amount of time that we would travel especially the transfers to the various accommodation places that were very far apart (3 hour drives). Worst was the guide that drove us to the park and in the park. Drove very recklessly on the main roads and drove to fast. Speed limit in the reserve is 40km and hour and at one point was driving a 100km. Was not at all knowledgeable about the animals, birds etc. Told us that a female ostrich is black? and could not identify an impala and told us it was a Gazelle? Did not ask what we would like to see as our interests are birds, animals, plants etc. his only concern was showing us Lion and was always in a hurry. Guide for the Park was my worst however the trip and all the places we stayed were amazing. For me Diani was my preferred place as the beach in Malindi was not nice at all with all the black coral not nice for swimming. Look out for all the curio sellers they are very much a problem. They are friendly but always in your face wanting to sell you stuff and they stand on the beach looking at you while you are sitting on the beach. Had a great trip and was a fantastic experience.

Prompt, polite and efficient.
Brian was our initial point of contact throughout the safari and lodge booking process, and though we never met him in person, he ensured our trip was well taken care of. Saitoti, our guide cum driver, gave us a great wildlife sighting experience and made our trip as comfortable as possible. He was also patient and accommodating to almost all our requests. Overall, we think it was a good trip, and even though we missed seeing 2 of the big 5 (rhino and leopard), we did catch glimpses of a serval, lion cubs, cheetahs, hyenas, and, of course, the great migration! Amboseli was wonderful for elephant and bird sightings, but the entire park was extremely dusty, so hair cover and mask are recommended. All accommodations suggested were fun, with zebras and giraffes around. Hell's Gate was a bit disappointing overall (mostly a dusty road...maybe good for just cycling), and the visit to the gorge felt scammy, as you are forced to take a guide (for a fee, of course!).

Private small ready to be helpfull!
Leopard Orchid Safaris is a small company that strives to deliver everything promised in the tour package, though there is still room for improvement in some areas.
For instance, the safari to Maasai Mara should be organized using only large 4x4 vehicles like the Toyota Land Cruiser, as the roads are in very poor condition, making the journey in a 4x4 van far too slow and exhausting.
Furthermore, the accommodation they select—especially near Lake Nakuru—should be closer to the national park.
Tito, who served as both driver and guide, was incredibly kind and dedicated, and he really made an effort to show us as much as possible.
