Organized and Reliable
it is a young but reliable and organized agency. during the organization of the trip I had in Elijah a punctual and important point of reference in setting up the trip, arrived in Kenya he welcomed us at the airport together with Mr James, the boss of Leopard Orchid safaris and our guide / driver Patrick. during the trip Patrick was exceptional both as a driver and as a guide he always advised us and was essential during the game drives to spot the animals. overall I am more than satisfied and I would recommend it

A young promise of the safari service
The organizator, Elijah, was very kind and mindfull of ours needs, while our tour guide, Patrick, was extremly attentive, always punctual and kind. He answered all of our questions, not only about the animals and visited places, that he knows very well, but even about Kenya as a whole. He showed excellent driving skills and was always mindfull of our well being.
The vehicle was in very good conditions and Patrick made sure that it was always clean.
From start to end the Leopard Orchid Safaris showed both kindness and competence.

Elijah was very helpful answering supportive with what we wanted our safari holiday to be like.
The tour was very flexible to what we wanted to see, the quality of accommodation and also our overall budget. We saw loads of animals and had amazing experience with animals in their natural habitat. Highly recommend you ask for Patrick who was our driver/guide. A family man who has a great sense of humour and made the whole experience more enjoyable.

Perfectly organized, everything went well, you get definitely more than expected
The communication from the beginning was easy - everything went smoothly and worked out perfectly. Leoprad Orchid Safaris organized everthing to our satisfaction, even our individuell wishes have been realized. Pick up from the hotel was on time and the relation with our very good driver Patrick was great from the beginning. His knowledge of the 5 different Parks (Tsavo East and West, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) and of the wild life was extraordinary and contributed a lot to our perfect game drives. We got definitely more than expected, including stuck in a waterhole or "fighting" with an adult male baboon for bread ;-) or a monkey for a banana :-) during a picknick close to Mara River.
Every game drive is different but we were very lucky to see more than only the "Big Fives" in a fantastic sceenery including Kilimandscharo. Be prepared for some looooong drives, but it is worth. The only recommendation from our side, stay in lodges inside the Parks. Accomodation have been extraordinary including delicious meals, but at Amboseli and Lake Nakuru to stay also inside the park would have given more time for game drives. All together, a great adventure and a perfect safari due to the perfect organisation by Leopard Orchid Safaris and our driver Patrick.

Patrick is the best
Elijah picked us from the airport and introduced us to our Driver Patrick and our trip started from that time. Patrick helped us with everything and treated us like family. We had a bit of challenge because our accommodation had very limited electricity but it was solved once we requested them it is very important for us. We travelled to 4 different locations and it was long drives but Patrick made it very comfortable for us. We stayed in beautiful places. It’s called sopa lodge. Nakuru sopa was the best. For safety and comfort I Definitely recommend leopard safari and Patrick. Thank you for making our trip so memorable

Small, reliable, professional, friendly and great value safari company - we saw the big 5!
We had an amazing time on our 5-day Safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara (our favourite). The animals were everywhere. Elijah and George (our guide) were professional and reliable and quick to answer any questions. The food and accommodation in Amboseli Serena Lodge and Enkorok Mara Camp was excellent and it was interesting to talk with the Maasai.
Elijah (the organiser) met us at the airport transfer and before the safari itself, to explain the plans. George made sure we got to see all the animals, including a leopard, that had been spotted (the guides communicate by radio). The parks were so big that most of the time we could only see one other vehicle. The trip included a picnic lunch under a tree in the Masai Mara. The game drives were usually about 4 hours long and we definitely got our money’s worth.
The distances between the 3 parks were very long and tiring - between 5 and 7 hours every day, a lot of which were on bumpy dirt tracks - but that couldn’t be helped. The 4WD vehicle was quite shabby and not as smart as those of other companies, but maybe this is where costs were shaved off. George appeared knowledgeable but was quite quiet - this was perfect for us.

Best for money vs quality
We have found Leopard Orchid Safaris in the internet and sent them a price and tour inquiry along other companies. They have replied very quickly providing different options (budget / mid range / luxury). Their price for mid range was better than other companies and Elijah (our tour operator) was very friendly and communicative.
The concern we had was about lack of rewies both in Google maps and Safari bookings. However I have confirmed their office location in the Mall and appeared to be it was matching.
On the first day they have collected us from the hotel for 7 days safari. We were in the mini bus Toyota Hiace with 4WD and all terrain tires.
Our route was Amboseli NP, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and finally Masai Mara. All of the camps very budget to mid range and very good except of Amboseli one. They promised not to use the same lodge in Amboseli anymore after our feedback.
The driver George was a very good and professional tour gide and driver. He is a safe driver and we did not feel any risk while on the road.
Overall I would definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris for Safari in Kenya. They are professional and provide a good value for price not reducing the quality.
