Seamless execution mixed with warmth and competence.
This was my first journey to Africa and used this company based on a recommendation from a close friend. I can’t imagine a better choice. Attention to detail and responsiveness was on point.

Amazing Safari experience
We had an amazing experience on the 4 Night/5 Day Safari trip. Our guide, Kevin, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. It was very clear he had a passion for showing people all the amazing beauties of Kenya. During game drives he was communicating extensively with other guides and rangers to get us access to the best animal sightings. He also seemed to have a strong intuition for the movements and behaviors of the animals (especially the big cats), which let him position the safari vehicle in the best spots. There were multiple times when we parked a bit away from the other vehicles only to have the cats come right up to our car.
Axis safaris provided a great itinerary and were really glad we did the full 5 days as biking through hells gate was also a major highlight. If I had to change anything I would make the cost options available per night so you could splurge on a night at Lake Naivasha while also staying in more budget friendly accommodations elsewhere. Some of the days were long drives without many activities, partnering with hotels to provide more optional evening activities could also go a long way while also making sure the guides have plenty of rest. Overall this was truly an unforgettable trip with an amazing group of people and a fabulous guide additionally seeing the big 5 and all the big cats was a big plus. I would highly recommend joining an Axis tour to anyone coming to Kenya.

Couldn’t recommend more!
The whole process has been smooth and easy. The booking was very well explained and the person that took care of our booking, Tabitha would take maximum 1h to reply back to my queries.
Our guide Kevin was amazing , very helpful and knowledgeable!! We managed to see the big 5!
Our hotels were amazing, we picked the option 4, that was more expensive, but worth every penny!!! Specially the Lake Nakuru Lodge and Lake Naivasha Sopa!
Amazing value, a great guide and some incredible sights!
The tour was amazing from start to finish.
Our guide Kevin was brilliant and was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and surrounding areas - even spotting all the big 5 during our stay!
We did the 5 night safari and the hotels selected by Axis were all great , and the safari vehicle was also very comfortable. We selected option 4 hotels which were all really nice, and topped off by our stay in Lake Naivasha where we had giraffes, zebra and hippos inside the hotel grounds.
My only small critique is we could have fit maybe another activity (another evening drive or a different activity) on day 3 where it was mostly a travel day from Masai Mara to Nakuru.
Overall it was a truly unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend Axis (and our guide Kevin!)

Two Outstanding Safaris and Excellent Guides in Kenya
We can highly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris. From the very beginning, communication was fast and efficient, and they were happy to accommodate all our requests. We were able to tailor the safari itinerary exactly to our preferences.
The day before departure, they contacted us to confirm where we were staying in Nairobi and what time they would pick us up. They arrived exactly at the agreed time.
Our driver, Patrick, was an excellent guide as well as a skilled driver. He drove safely, which is especially important in local traffic conditions. He was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and shared many interesting facts about the animals we encountered. He always kept his promises and followed our agreed plans, while also showing us new and fascinating sights every day.
The five-day safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru was a fantastic start to our stay in Kenya. By the end of the trip, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to such a great guide.
After spending a few days on our own, we decided to book another safari, this time to Samburu. Even though it was during the Christmas holidays (we departed on December 25) and we arranged everything at the last minute (on December 21), Leopard Orchid Safaris once again organized everything perfectly. Our second driver, Peter, was also reliable, punctual, and helped us experience many remarkable sights and wildlife encounters.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the services provided by Leopard Orchid Safaris and would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.

Great experience and great service
What a great experience. Right from the beginning, the staff were very helpful and responsive. Fredrick was masterful in organization and Zack was the best driver as we had a solid 8 days.

Best of the best
Just ending the Kenya portion of our trip and very sad to say goodbye to Alex. What’s an amazing guide. Found ALL the animals and was always able to position for the best close up shots. We saw everything the Mara had to offer thanks to Alex. Many key moments and sightings we were the only vehicle there. Alex is always flexible and makes sure that you are getting the adventure you wanted. Vehicle was fantastic and comfortable and even included a refrigerated cooler with water. The pop up is a must. Everything else that Splendid did for us was well organized. We’ve been spoiled. We’ll miss you Alex, thank you!
