Excellent, very well organised and service minded.
MoAfrika Tours are well organised. Always on time. The game drives where all incredible. I will definitely use them again.

They delivered a seamless safari experience with attentive guides who ensured great wildlife sights.
Coordinating a Masai Mara adventure for a group of 17 travelers is a major undertaking, yet Leopard Orchid Safaris made the entire experience feel effortless.
Our deepest appreciation goes to Michael, whose patience, prompt communication, and eye for detail shaped our itinerary long before we landed in Kenya. He customized every element to suit our large group, and the on-ground team brought those plans to life without a single hitch. It is easy to see why they receive such high praise on Google, SafariBookings, and Tripadvisor—their careful planning allowed every one of us to simply unwind and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Mara.
We also owe so much of our trip's success to our phenomenal driver-guides: Francis, Lawrence, and Paul. They are truly in a league of their own. Beyond handling the rough safari tracks with complete confidence, they brought infectious enthusiasm, genuine warmth, and an impressive wealth of wildlife knowledge to every game drive. Their keen tracking instincts put us right in the heart of unforgettable animal encounters that our group will talk about for years to come.
For anyone planning a Kenyan safari—and especially those traveling with a big group of family or friends—Michael and the crew at Leopard Orchid Safaris are the gold standard. We could not have asked for better hosts.

Where the grace of orchid meets the thrill of leopard in the wild Masai Mara
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Trip of a Lifetime for Our Group of 17!
Managing and organizing a large group of 17 people is no easy task, but Leopard Orchid Safaris handled our Masai Mara trip flawlessly from start to finish!
A huge thank you goes to Michael, the manager, who coordinated every single detail with incredible professionalism, patience, and responsiveness. From the early planning stages right up to our arrival, he made sure everything was tailored to our group's needs. Between Michael's seamless organization and the team's execution on the ground, they proved exactly why they hold such a stellar reputation across Google, SafariBookings, and Tripadvisor. Our entire group could simply sit back, relax, and soak in the magic of the Mara.
Another massive, heartfelt shoutout goes to our incredible team of drivers and guides: Lawrence, Paul, and Francis. These guys are absolute superstars! They are not only exceptionally skilled drivers who navigated the rugged terrain with ease, but they are also deeply knowledgeable, courteous, and full of great energy. Thanks to their sharp eyes and expert tracking skills, we had spectacular wildlife sightings and left with memories that our group will cherish forever.
If you are looking for an exceptional, hassle-free safari experience in Kenya—especially for large family or friend groups—look no further than Michael and the team at Leopard Orchid Safaris. They are truly the best in the business!
Asante sana..

Friendly, knowledgeable and professional
Our guide Shukram and driver Shaban were great. They were especially understanding and accommodating as we were travelling with our young children. The safari was fantastic, they provided great insight into the flora and fauna. Trips to the Maasai and local villages were super, a not a touristy show and sell scenario, but a chance to get an understanding into the culture and meet interesting people. A great trip!

A highly responsive, communicative team that works with you to realise your dream holiday.
We spent considerable time reviewing many different tour operators and their scheduled tours and finally landed on a 12-day Namibian tour with Kingfisher Safaris. We worked with the Managing Director, Martin Smith, who made sure he understood what we wanted to get out of the trip. The 12-day Namibia Classic Accommodated Safari offered exactly the type of accommodations we were looking for--the perfect blend of comfort, luxe and African authenticity. I had many questions throughout the period before and after booking the trip and Martin was consistently quick to respond to emails. Communication was seamless. We wanted to make a slight change to the agenda, which he accommodated without hesitation. A detailed pre-departure dossier was provided to help us with "must have" items and important information for the trip: luggage size and type, tipping recommendations, clothing, etc. Our trip was exactly what we had hoped for: seeing the vastness of Namibia's open spaces, its varied topography, and of course, its wildlife. Namibia is a trip of a lifetime!

We had the best time!
The Safari was amazing. We saw almost everything the very first day! The entire trip was perfect. You spend a lot of time in the car with your guide, but our guide was so easy to be with and so informative. I highly recommend Leslie. He made our trip perfect.

A breathtaking experience, perfectly managed by Wings of Africa.
Our 4 days on Mount Meru were physically challenging but immensely rewarding. Wings of Africa organised everything very well; the meals were excellent; the guidance and advice were perfect. Our guide, Nick, was very skilled at managing our expectations and encouraging us when we thought we could not go on.
So many people, including those in the tourist industry, have said to me that a Meru climb is a good practice/acclimatisation for Kilimanjaro. It may be (if that is your goal), but this does not do this trek justice. The first and last days are basically a walking safari (we saw monkeys, baboons, warthogs, buffalo, zebra and giraffes), while the summit day is the most stunning mountain experience i have had - seeing dawn from the crater rim, with a blanket of cloud below and the summit of Kilimanjaro on the horizon, was fantastic.
The 4-day climb gets you to the summit at dawn, when there is maximum chance of clear skies. We had heavy rain each afternoon so those doing the 4-day trek, who reached the summit in the afternoon, got cold and wet and had no view.
In the planning stages, Renga was always very responsive and helpful, with advice based on his extensive experience with climbing this mountain. He also met us at the end for a debrief. I would put my faith in Wings of Africa for mountain treks.

An Unforgettable Experience
Safari Soles exceeded all our expectations! The exceptional service begins long before arriving in Tanzania, thanks to Julieth, who was absolutely amazing at organizing our trip. Always incredibly responsive, attentive, and thoughtful, she provided all the information in a clear and organized way, making us feel confident and well taken care of from the very first contact.
During our safari, we had the privilege of having Dickson as our guide, and he was truly outstanding! His incredible knowledge of wildlife, remarkable ability to spot animals, and, above all, his dedication to providing the best possible experience made all the difference. Always patient, friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about what he does, he turned every game drive into something special.
What truly sets Safari Soles apart is its people! From Julieth’s impeccable organization to Dickson’s exceptional guidance, everything was perfect.
We left with memories that will last a lifetime and the certainty that we couldn’t have made a better choice.
We wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles! And if you can, make sure to ask for Dickson as your guide!
Asante sana, Julieth, Dickson, and the entire Safari Soles team! ❤️

Exceeded All Our Expectations!
From 🇧🇷
We had one of the most extraordinary experiences of our lives, and a huge part of that was thanks to Safari Soles and, especially, our incredible guide, Dickson, who was simply outstanding!
From the very beginning, everything was handled with great professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. But what truly made our safari so special was Dickson.
More than just a guide, he became a wonderful companion throughout our adventure! Extremely knowledgeable, attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does, he impressed us with his incredible understanding of wildlife, animal behavior, and nature. Every game drive turned into a fascinating learning experience, filled with interesting facts and unforgettable discoveries.
His ability to spot animals, notice details we would never have seen on our own, and position us in the best possible places for wildlife viewing was truly remarkable. It was clear how deeply he understands and respects the wildlife.
Beyond his exceptional skills, Dickson has something that makes all the difference: he genuinely cares about giving his guests the best possible experience. He went above and beyond to make every moment special, always bringing enthusiasm, kindness, dedication, and a fantastic sense of humor.
We left this adventure with memories we will cherish for a lifetime, absolutely certain that we couldn’t have chosen a better safari company or a better guide.
We wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles, and if you have the opportunity, make sure to ask for Dickson! He turns an already incredible safari into a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Asante sana, Dickson and the entire Safari Soles team! ❤️

Vivemos uma das experiências mais extraordinárias das nossas vidas, e grande parte disso se deve à Safari Soles e, especialmente, ao nosso guia, Dickson, que foi simplesmente excepcional!
Desde o início, tudo foi conduzido com muito profissionalismo, organização e atenção aos detalhes. Mas o que realmente tornou nosso safári tão especial foi o Dickson.
Muito mais do que um guia, ele foi um verdadeiro companheiro de aventura! Extremamente experiente, atencioso, paciente e apaixonado pelo que faz, demonstrou um conhecimento impressionante sobre os animais, seus comportamentos e a natureza. Cada passeio se transformava em uma verdadeira aula, repleta de curiosidades e descobertas fascinantes.
Sua habilidade para encontrar os animais, perceber detalhes que jamais notaríamos sozinhos e nos posicionar nos melhores lugares para observá-los foi surpreendente. Ficou evidente o quanto ele conhece e respeita a vida selvagem.
Além de toda a competência, Dickson tem algo que faz toda a diferença: ele se importa genuinamente com a experiência de seus visitantes. Não mediu esforços para tornar cada momento especial, sempre com bom humor, dedicação e uma energia maravilhosa.
Voltamos dessa aventura com memórias que levaremos para o resto da vida e com a certeza de que não poderíamos ter escolhido uma empresa e um guia melhores.
Recomendamos a Safari Soles de olhos fechados e, se puderem escolher, peçam pelo Dickson! Ele transforma um safári incrível em uma experiência absolutamente inesquecível.
