An Unforgettable Kenyan Safari Adventure!
My cousin and I just returned from an incredible 7-day safari through Kenya, and it was truly the adventure of a lifetime. From start to finish, everything went so smoothly, and that’s thanks to the exceptional team who made it happen.
Booking was seamless thanks to Elijah, who was not only prompt in handling our questions but ensured every detail was perfectly arranged. Once we arrived, our guide, Lawrence, made our experience unforgettable. His knowledge about the animals, ecosystems, and Kenyan culture added such depth to our trip. He went above and beyond, sharing fascinating insights and having meaningful conversations with us that truly enriched the experience.
Our stops at Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara offered amazing scenery and wildlife—each location had its own unique charm. Seeing the Big Five on our tour was a dream come true, but each place had something truly special to offer, from Amboseli’s elephants to Lake Nakuru’s rhinos.
One recommendation: definitely opt for the jeep rather than the van! The extra cost is worth it for the added comfort and the best possible views for spotting wildlife.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Huge thanks to Elijah, Lawrence, and the team for making this an unforgettable safari adventure. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Kenya!

Amazing safari!
Me and the kids had an extraordinary time! Michael was extremely helpful and patient during the planning our trip and from the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, making us feel at ease and excited for the adventure ahead. Patrick, our guide was not only knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems but also had an incredible eye for spotting animals even at a distance. We learned so much about each animal’s habits and habitats.
The safari is absolutely worth it. I came back with stunning photos, new friends, and memories me and kids will cherish forever. Highly recommended!

The best what you can choose
We have just returned home from our most memorable safari holiday in Kenya which will stay always in our memories and hearts. We would like to thank you many times for the smoothest and the best way as we have been treated. Thanks to Elijah´s prompt answers on many emails and questions and helping with the safari itinerary. He planned precisely everything from the pickup from hotel, through all memorable moments, folowing all the transfers, train tickets and drop off directly at our beach villa at Diani at the end. And the biggest thank you is for our guide and driver Patrick, who was as we all agreed the best of the best who could take care of us and who made our adventure unforgettable. Patrick is a great person with great heart, he was punctual every single day, gave us every information at time, managed to drive us safely through almost whole Kenya and answered every of our many questions. He was always attentive, and provided us always the best spots to see the wild animals.
Once again, thank you for everything Leopard Orchid Safaris! ♥️🇰🇪

Great Communication and very fair price
When I was looking into Safari bookings I was very scared because the amount of companies that offer these services are incredible, from all the quotes I received Orchid was right on the ballpark of what we were looking for and the prices were not so high compared with other quotes.
Since day 1 Elijah help me to go with the process and solve all my questions eventho we booked almost a year a prior, once the date arrived Elijah, and the CEO of the company were there to greeting us and to introduce to our driver, David, after a short introduction and step by step days a nice gift from their side we were on our way to our adventure.
David was so nice during the whole trip, as we were driving he was giving us details of Kenya making the long drive more interesting, We really appreciate all the help and long hours that David put into this trip, I highly recommend him, he was so nice.
Safaris is mostly luck, we were unlucky to see Kilimanjaro due to cloudy weather, but we were fortunate to compensate by watching plenty of the animals we wanted to see in the safari, we had cheetahs walking by our side, plenty of elephants and even quite some lions going through many many herbivores hahahaha even the sneaky leopard we manage to see 3 of them in our 6 day safari.
The accommodations were way beyond our expectations, we were hoping to by something similar to a cheap motel in the states but we were so wrong, every place was neat and the staff super friendly, Leopard had selected very good accommodations for us.
If we ever decide to go back to Kenya for sure Leopard Orchid would be in the first call to make.

Amazing, every bit of it!
I really loved the experience with the guys from Leopard Orchid Safaris, from the beginning tk the end!
They are very professional and reliable, during the booking process I was helped by Michael who was very kind, patient and available. He offered me two options according to my wishes and was so helpful as he answered all of my questions.
During the safari, Fred was the most amazing guide, he spotted animals that were very far away and was so patient with me. The lodges they booked for me were superb, very clean and safe, the staff was always kind, the food amazing. I got to see leopards, lions, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, every kind of antilopes, many many birds and beautiful nature and landscapes.
I couldn't recommend this company more!!

Carefulness, expertise, open minded
We booked an 8 days trip covering Nakuru, Masai Mara, Kiambethu farm, Amboseli, Tsavo Est and Taita Hill. Moreover we arrange a drop off at Tiwi Beach. Our guide Patrick was very responsive to our needs, competent on animals and plants and very proactive. Elijah was very patient to meet our requests and desires (itinerary and accomodations). We always feel safe and comfortable. We highly recommended this company.

Great planning and awesome guide during our 6 day trip
We've booked a 6-day Safari with Leopard Orchid Safari's (Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara) and were happy customers in the end!
A few months before our arrival in Kenya, I requested several offers from Safari companies and Leopard Orchid was the one which offered the best price/quality ratio. During the planning of our Safari (everything is customizable by the way) I was helped by Elijah. Elijah was very responsive and flexible and provided good itinerary proposals which allowed us to schedule the rest of our Kenya trip as efficient as possible. Even though the default lodging was not available anymore, Elijah proposed a few alternatives and was also flexible to listen to our wishes and concerns. In the end we had good alternative lodging (Little Amanya Camp, Zuwa Bush Lodge and Jambo Mara) which we were happy about. We received good rooms in all accommodations.
Upon our first Safari day, we were greeted at our accommodation by Elijah and Lawrence (who would be our driver/guide/.. for the next 6 days). After settling the payment we embarked on our journey which could not have been better.
Lawrence was one of the best drivers/guides we could whish for. He was a very nice guy to have with you on the trip and he had good knowledge about the parks & animals. It was also fun to have some small talk with Lawrence during the long drives between the national parks and we got to learn a lot about Kenya an its culture. Equally important is that he was a very safe driver which made us feel very comfortable to make the long drives. Kenya roads can be hectic and not all Safari drivers seem to drive as careful al Lawrence did.
Lawrence also made sure everything was all-right during our trip and took care of most arrangements (which made it really easy for us to travel).
We paid a little bit more to have the private Safari and the 4x4 jeep, which I'd fully recommend.

Superb!
We have just finished a fantastic 5 day safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris. We went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. After I first made an enquiry Elijah provided a detailed itinerary which he was happy to liaise about until it was perfect for us! After we had booked Elijah remained in communication with us and answered all my numerous questions! A couple of days before we were due to depart there was an issue with the accommodation we had chosen but they sourced fabulous alternatives. Our guide was Alex and he was amazing. He knew so much about all the parks and animals and answered all our questions. He updated our itinerary as we undertook the safari to make sure we maximised our time in the park. He was great with our children and super friendly and funny. Our whole experience was great and I’d highly recommend using this tour company.
Incredible experience for our first Safari in our lives
First I was insecure to hire Leopard Orchid because there was no many reviews but the few they had was really good reviews. And I do not regret to chose them to our first safari in our lives. It was a good attention from the start until the end. We loved all the lodges chosed and mainly to have Alex as our driver. We did 5 days, leaving from Nairobi to Amboseli, Lake Nakuro and Masai Mara. We were lucky enough to be able to see all the Big Five on our second day of the Safari. We had all the Big Five just crossing in front of hour car and also, we saw a lion climbing the tree. We met Leopords two time, one was hunting a WildBeast and also we saw Chitas. We were also lucky to be during the migration of Wildbeast and we could see the river crossing. Alex was really good in find the right spot and be quick to gather th information about where the animals were. I thank Leopard Orchild Safari for this experince and we are now addicged to Safaris :)
