Unbelievable once in a lifetime experience!’
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!

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

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.

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.

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.
