Professional, caring, and reliable, with an unforgettable safari experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris during our trip to Kenya. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, everything was well organized. Our airport transfer, Nairobi tour, hotel transfers, and safari arrangements all went smoothly.
We would like to thank Michael for being helpful and responsive throughout our trip. He was always available when we needed assistance and made the organization of our trip very easy.
A very special thank you to Sami, our safari driver and guide, who truly made our experience unforgettable. Sami was extremely successful, professional, knowledgeable, and clearly an expert when it comes to safari. His experience and expertise made a huge difference throughout our time in the Masai Mara.
Thanks to Sami, we were able to see all of the Big five as well as so many other incredible animals and unforgettable moments. He was incredibly skilled at finding wildlife and always made sure that we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the safari, the surroundings, and the animals was truly impressive.
Beyond his professionalism and expertise, Sami was also incredibly kind, patient, friendly, and helpful. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying ourselves, and he went above and beyond for us throughout the entire safari.
By the end of the trip, we felt that we were not simply leaving Kenya with amazing memories, but that we were leaving with a friend. We will always remember Sami with a huge smile and hope to see him again one day. If you book with Leopard Orchid Safaris, we would definitely recommend asking for Sami, he is truly exceptional at what he does.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
If we were to suggest a few areas for improvement, we would say that the hotels could be upgraded slightly, and the picnic/lunch arrangements during the safari could be improved in terms of variety and presentation. However, these are relatively small points compared with the overall quality of the experience and the wonderful service we received.
Thank you to Michael, Sami, and the whole Leopard Orchid Safaris team for giving us such a beautiful and unforgettable Kenya experience. We will remember this trip for a very long time!

Simply Amazing!
Kenya is one of the best safari destinations in Africa. The wildlife viewing here is simply amazing and the big cats are easy to spot. All members of the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo) can be found in various parks and reserves in Kenya, and Amboseli and Masai Mara Parks have all five of these animals. Almost every park in the country is protected and protected for the conservation of wildlife, making it easy to go on a week-long safari in Kenya and rarely have to drive from one park to another outside the forest.

Exceeded Expectations
Rwanda Eco was a phenomenal partner for our 8-day tour of southwest Uganda. I approached several companies and the team at Rwanda Eco was extremely helpful and patient. I kept asking questions and managing dates as we coordinated gorilla permit availability vs availability at the Kenya Conservancy we were visiting next. We arrived in Entebbe a day early to recover from the many hours of travel it took us to get there (highly recommend doing that) and Rwanda Eco was happy to accommodate. Tony, our driver guide met us by name and reviewed a hardcopy of our itinerary with us. A special touch I wish all guides did! We drove to Kibale for the Chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth for land and boat safari, and Bwindi for the amazing Gorillas. Thank you Rwanda Eco and thank you Tony!

The operator is very conscientious and transparent. They are responsive to individual requests and
We went on a two-day safari, and of course, the highlight was the game drives in the Jeep. We had a very experienced guide named Martin. What we particularly appreciated was the way he showed us the Selous National Park, always with great respect for nature and the animals, combined with a wealth of knowledge.
Kazungu is also a very careful and considerate driver.
We also highly recommend the boat safari, which we booked with the same operator the day before.

Fantastic.
We have just had the most magical 4 day safari. Elias our guide was outstanding.
His knowledge was incredible and I always felt safe in his hands on some interesting roads.
The vehicle was comfortable and well equipped with charging points so we could keep the cameras and phones constantly charged.
We stayed in 2 lodges and 1 tented camp - all were so comfortable and welcoming.
Elias always found the best spots for us to view the wildlife and scenery and made our trip an unforgettable experience.
Thank you Elias

Elias was very good at finding the best spots and a very good driver, very informative and helpful
From the first pick up all staff were very informative in letting us know the exact plan for the day. the car journeys, albeit long and bumpy, were very comfortable and always things to see out the window
The tour itself was phenomenal, so many animals to see, despite seeing the same herds a few times they were always up to something different from the last so didn’t feel repetitive at all, got amazingly close to lions ( thanks to our driver Elias) and it was incredible to see all of the big 5 so close up
Incredible value for money, when we booked there were a lot of other companies that were triple the price, but you still see them out there seeing the same things, all accomodation was lovely and comfortable, all the food was very nice!

Elias is a fantastic guide and driver, great knowledge and goes above and beyond a perfect trip.
The whole trip is very well organised from start to finish. Our booking process was easy and we were well informed both prior to and during the trip. Elias our driver and guide was superb, always on time and incredibly helpful. He made sure everyone was happy and would go out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. We felt very safe as he is an exceptional driver. A truly magical experience that is well worth every penny!
