Memorable Safari
5/5

The trip was well-planned, thanks to Elijah-our organizer. Similarly our guide/driver, Daniel was very knowledgeable on matters of wildlife and a exceptional driver as well. Most of the accommodations were very good except one in Nakuru Lake (poorly managed lodge)
Thanks to Leopard Orchid Safaris for making our trip a success. I highly recommend this company to anyone interested for safari in Kenya.

Great Experience
5/5

The Safari was planned well, covering 3 diverse parks across Kenya. Daniel accommodated all our requests and went out of his way to provide the best experience possible. His vast knowledge of the wildlife made the safari more fun and engaging

An unforgettable trip
5/5

My partner and I went on an 8-day safari in the Samburu, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara parks.
On the first day, Elijah picked us up (the one who had organized the custom trip for us), and introduced us to Patrick, who was our guide for the 8 days.
Patrick was excellent, we couldn't have had a better guide. He speaks perfect English and has great knowledge of the country, the parks and all the types of animals you can find. In addition, he is a very good person and cares about the client at all times.
At first we had doubts about the company due to the few opinions we had read about it, but without a doubt it was a great success and we would repeat with them.

Review of Leopard Orchid Safaris
5/5

My husband and I had a fantastic holiday/experience with our driver/guide David. It is definitely worth upgrading to a Land Cruiser as you can go more places whilst on the game drives, and get better views. All four lodges were more than adequate, with execellent food and we are vegetarian. Each day was a real adventure, David didn't mind starting the day at 6am after we had picked up our packed breakfast and lunch. David slightly changed our itinerary sometimes to maximise our quality time on the game drives and when he knew the weather was going to change, we strongly advise you to trust his knowledge and experience and you will have an amazing time. Prior to our safari Leopard Orchid's Elijah was extremely helpful, we must have exchanged dozens of emails as we designed our safari to our exact requirements, Elijah met us at Nairobi airport and personally handed us over to our driver David, he also met up with us on the last day and came to the airport with us which we thought was great customer service. Throughout our whole trip we knew exactly what was going on all of the time and David was very responsive to our requests. I am sure that if you choose Leopard Orchid Safaris you will have the time of your lives, the most amazing photographs and wonderful memories. Regards Karen and Martin.

Extremely positive and helpful,
5/5

Honestly we had two guys that were extremely helpful. Both Elijah and Patrick, were great. Our luggage was lost and Elijah was at the airport while we were on the safari trying to get answers for us.

And then Patrick was the driver, extremely positive guy, we got to see everything with him. No matter how we felt tired or frustrated with not having luggage Patrick was always possible and keeping us going. Over I would highly recommend these guys definitely made the trip great

My Safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris: An Unforgettable Experience
From planning to execution, my safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout the planning process, Elijah was incredibly helpful, understanding, and responsive to my every query, modification request, and even price adjustment.
The safari itself was truly remarkable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Patrick. Patrick is a true jack-of-all-trades, serving as our driver, guide, wildlife expert, botanist, historian, geographer, and even economist. His passion for this job is unique. He masterfully narrates each region we traverse, delving into its history, geography, economic potential. He has incredible knowledge on characteristics of every animal, plant, and bird we encounter. As a guide, Patrick's uncanny ability to anticipate animal sightings and venture off the beaten path sets him apart from other guides. He transformed our journey into an exhilarating adventure while enriching our knowledge with every passing moment.
Logistically, the safari was impeccable. The SOPA lodges we stayed in were welcoming and offered delicious Kenyan cuisine. I was thoroughly impressed by every aspect of the safari and have already made plans to return next year with my entire family. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable and enriching safari experience. Their dedication to excellence and the expertise of their guides will undoubtedly create memories that will last a lifetime.

Unbelievable once in a lifetime experience!’
5/5

Amazing experience of a 7 day safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris, couldn’t recommend them enough.

From the beginning, Elijah was easy to deal with and quick to respond to queries! Thank you!!

We also had nothing but praise for our guide Patrick, who always had amazing personality and our best interests in mind throughout the whole trip. Patrick’s knowledge of the parks and animals was excellent and always had high energy despite driving thousand of kilometres over the week!

We stayed in 4 different hotels during the trip and really enjoyed them all - our favourites were the hotels in Nakuru and Navisha. All of the hotels are in the different areas that you will cover throughout the trip, however don’t be put off by the long distances you will cover as you will see beautiful areas of Kenya!

If you’re in doubt of doing a safari, you won’t be disappointed with going for it & we would certainly advise you to do so with leopard orchid safaris!

Incredible experience for our first Safari in our lives
5/5

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 :)

Superb!
5/5

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.
