Unforgettable memories with Leopard Orchid Safaris
5‑Star Review for Leopard Orchid Safari
A huge thank‑you to Leopard Orchid Safari for delivering an unforgettable safari experience. James, the company owner, even came to pick us up at the airport.
Our guide and driver was Lawrence. He was extremely conscientious and responsible, and drove exceptionally smoothly. We had long transfers of 5‑6 hours between parks on rough, bumpy roads. Lawrence took great care navigating every pothole, making our rides comfortable throughout the trip.
He was incredibly dedicated to wildlife spotting. Thanks to him, we got to see the Big Five and nearly all the target animals on our wishlist. He was always punctual for pick‑ups and drop‑offs, and had a very friendly manner.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. This is a highly‑reliable operator. Solid 5‑star recommendation!

Nice drivers but bad management
Hello everyone i hope you are reading this
Going by road is very tiring and there is no much things to see so better go by flight, the hotel books was very very bad , people are good but food and accommodation very bad, choose yourself the lodging and if you have the budget invest somewhere in the kruger itself or inside a reserve . Take those we put in the eyes to see far because you will need them. They dont stick to the plan the are saying so make sure to communicate about it . And also dont give all meals they said.

If we had to describe our safari with Serengeti Silence in one word, it would be “wonderful!”
We booked a four-day private safari for our honeymoon, and the price was reasonable and offered great value for money. Our guide(barnabas
) was friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable. Whenever we spotted animals, he explained their behavior and shared interesting facts, making the experience even more enjoyable.
We were especially impressed by his professionalism and knowledge of the routes and wildlife viewing areas. Thanks to his experience and effort, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five! Watching these animals in their natural habitat was unforgettable.
The hot-air balloon safari over the Serengeti was another highlight. The breakfast afterward, with a honeymoon celebration, singing, and cake cutting, made the morning extra special.
Thank you to our guide and the Serengeti Silence team for giving us such wonderful honeymoon memories. We would happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Beautifully done
They reply fast and help us to arrange the best choices in our budget.
And the guide was a professional in Safari game driving. So he showed us many interesting and wonderful scenes including big 5. Even we were in the spot a cheetah family was eating a gazelle!!
Amazing experience ever

Great 12-day tour of Kenya with Axis
We (family of 5) had a great 12-day tour of Kenya with Axis. We spent the first couple of nights in Amboseli, then 3 nights in Nanyuki for some trails and parks around Mount Kenya, three more nights in Naivasha (including a visit of Nakuru NP) and three final nights in Masai Mara. This was a personalized and somewhat unusual itinerary which Rita helped us tailor, ensuring that the sequencing of the parks and attractions made sense. This part was done over Whatsapp and email from afar, and Rita communicated with us very efficiently and professionally.
Upon arrival to Kenya we were greeted at the airport by Marcos, who proceeded to guide us throughout the 12-day tour, a combination of safari game drives and day hikes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marcos - he is extremely knowledgeable, a great wildlife spotter, is easygoing and has a great sense of humor. Safari tours naturally require to spend many hours in the car with the driver, and Marcos made those hours fly fast!
We saw the Big 5, the Ugly 5 and a few more groups of 5 over those 12 days. I highly recommend touring Kenya with Axis, thank you Rita and Marcos!

2 Day Tsavo and Tahita Hills, with Salt lick stay
We had a 2 day private safari in Tsavo East and Tahita hills, staying overnight at Salt lick lodge.
Our experience with Baby Bird was 10/10, the guide was very knowledgeable and with his expertise we saw many Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes, Wildebeest and a whole load of other animals.. the cream of the crop being two pairs of Lions and a family of Cheetahs.
One thing that stuck with us was that the guide was just as excited to see the animals as we were despite his 21 years experience.
Definitely a safari to try

Thanks David for driving
Fast drive and enough stops on the way. Bus could have a bit more legroom, not enough for tall people.

Comfortable drive back to Johannesburg
The driver drove safely and got us to our destination right on time. He also scheduled appropriate breaks approximately every two hours, which made the journey comfortable and stress-free. I really appreciated his safe driving and thoughtful planning.
