Incredible expérience
We loved our safari. The organization was simple and efficient, and communication with Gwen was always excellent. We were well looked after from start to finish. Rocky is an excellent guide and driver. He was attentive to our needs and preferences and knew exactly how to spot animals in every park (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro), all while remaining mindful of their well-being. Moze is an excellent cook; he prepared plenty of delicious meals for us. Many thanks to both of them for the safari.

Life Changing!!
My wife and I went on a 7-day safari that included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. It was truly life-changing experience for both of us, one that we will cherish forever. We have cannot say enough amazing things about our guide, Kiva! He was absolutely brilliant in his knowledge of tracking the animals and knowing where to find the ones we we really hoped to see (numerous Lion prides, leopard, cheetahs and cubs, hippos, giraffes, the list goes on!) Kiva also had an uncanny intuition on how to put us into position so that we could get the best possible angles for breath taking photos and video! He was so knowledgeable but also went above and beyond the entire safari. In addition, Kiva was such a caring guide who truly showed us the beauty of Tanzania and the people and culture of Tanzania. He is an absolutely wonderful human being, and was always there to help others in need (overheating engines, stuck vehicles, accidents, etc.) He radiates warmth and joy, and went far above and beyond to ensure that we had a world class experience, one that we will hold in our hearts forever. We began the journey with Kiva as clients, but ended as dear friends. We cannot recommend this company and Kiva enough. Thank you Kiva, Asante sana!!

Amazing Safari Experience
Our entire safari with Leopard Orchid Safaris was exceptional from start to finish and the whole experience exceeded all of our expectations!
This was our first time going on a safari and we chose to do a 10 day itinerary across Kenya's most famous parks. Michael the tour consultant communicated everything clearly, answering all of our queries and ensuring that the booking process was smooth and efficient. Our preferences for things like vegan food were communicated clearly to all of the lodges and we felt that everything was really well organized.
Our guide John did a truly amazing job and ensured that we had an unforgettable experience. Throughout our entire journey, John's genuine, friendly attitude and fun humor ensured that we always felt comfortable and completely safe. We opted to drive between each of the parks and despite the long distances, the hours flew by and John kept us entertained with so many interesting facts about the places and animals, answering all of our questions and demonstrating flexibility and resourcefulness to guarantee that we had the best time.
John is very knowledgeable about all kinds of animals and with his expertise we saw everything that we wanted to see and more! John helped us witness some really special wildlife encounters and knew the best way to position the vehicle to capture these special moments on camera, as you can see in the photos attached. No matter which park or what time of day, John always knew the best areas to look for animals and often we were the only ones to witness these encounters. Some of the highlights include being surrounded by a pack of young lions in Samburu, spotting a leopard walking down a river bed, and witnessing two bull elephants sparring play fighting with their tusks in Amboseli.
We honestly could not have asked for a better guide and truly appreciate that we got to experience this adventure with John!
Our favourite parks that we visited were Samburu, Masai Mara and Amboseli, but even some of the shorter stops such as Nakuru and Lake Naivasha were way more interesting than we expected, and all of the lodges in each area were super impressive with high quality buffet meals and clean, comfy accomodation. Before our trip we were concerned that 10 days on safari might be a bit too intense for a first time, but this turned out to be a perfect amount of time to get a real good overview of what Kenya has to offer!
Overall we highly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris and without a doubt would choose them again for our next safari!

An incredible experience, with an incredible guide
Our safari with Kiliclimb was exceptional! Huge thanks goes to our guide Bakari. His ability to spot animals (whilst driving) was unbelievable, as was his knowledge of the 3 parks we visited and the animals within them. On top of this he was friendly, charismatic and patient. He is a credit to Kiliclimb Africa Safaris. We also had such a lovely welcome from the Kiliclimb team. They arrived with gifts and had clearly mentioned to the hotel that we were on our honeymoon. This made it extra special. The hotel (Farm of Dreams) had delicious food and a wonderful vibe. Ngorongoro Crater was our favourite location. The close encounters with a family of lions and an enormous elephant will live with us for a lifetime. Thank you for such a special experience.

Good
Interesting. Expecially the Ngorongoro experience.
We have seen all the big 5!
The budget Camping of Serengeti was neglected and needed a refresh but the one in Ngorongoro was good.
