He was a vibe, friendly, accommodating, and supportive. Also a very good time keeper!
My experience was amazing! We were always picked and dropped in time. Our driver really understood our itinerary and delivered proper service. He even advised on things like the weather which was really helpful in planning because it was in the rainy season.
The best part of it is that we had internet in the car during the whole trip so we didn’t need to buy sim cards.
I really felt the value for my money!

Caring, thoughtful and supportive
I went on a 10 days tailor made trip through Rwanda and Uganda with Vibrant Holidays on a Safari Van in December 2024 and had a wonderful time. In the planning process, the team was very supportive, helped me refine my schedule and responded to all my questions swiftly. I was a bit worried because a lot of down payment is needed in advance to secure the permits for the primate trekkings and I did not know the operator yet. But Lois and her team were very understanding and patient with me, showed me around their office on a video call and directly sent me the copies of the permits as soon as they were booked. The tour itself went also very smoothly. The driver guide (Andrew Murari) was very nice, always there, very attentive, and, as a born Rwandan living in Uganda, provided a lot of cultural knowledge, which was very valuable to me. The accommodations were selected with great attention to detail and tailored to my individual needs. I had an extraordinary trip with Vibrant and returned home with a mind full of unforgettable memories and a storage full of incredible pictures. Thanks again to the whole team!

An amazing experience
From the day we first sent the application the communication was very quick and very helpful. Freddy was always willing to answer any questions we had. When we arrived at Tanzania a driver was waiting for us to get us to the hotel. Next day Max our guide welcomed us and we began our safari journey. It was one of the best experiences we ever had and Max made it even better, always looking for animals and explaining everything about the birds and parks. Very friendly and cool to hang out with. The accommodation was really nice. The Marera valley Lodge was beautiful but especially the Serengeti Heritage Ndutu Migration
Camp. We were sleeping in tents with the animals all around us. It was really something. So overall we are really happy about the trip that full package adventure organised for us. We hope we can visit again in the future !!!

The BEST Safari Experience!
We had a great experience with Kihnido tours. It was so easy to book with them, they were very responsive through email and prompt/efficient on the pickup. The price was also very fair for the amount of travel/food/drink/accomodation/attentiveness and working hours the guide & staff puts in.
We had Michael as our guide, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better one! He was the amazing in every way. He was so attentive to our needs, incredibly friendly, funny and massively knowledgeable about all of the wildlife. He went above and beyond to make sure we seen every animal we wanted to see, told us so much information about everything we seen and we had the best safari trip with him. We also learnt so much from him about the Tanzanian life/people whilst on the drive to & from the park, which was so interesting. You can really see he loves his job and meeting new people, which makes it so special for us tourists. Thank you so much again Michael!

Highly professional, friendly, and transparent
My girlfriend and I recently completed a 6-day safari tour, which included 2 nights in the Serengeti and 1 night in the Ngorongoro Crater, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we began planning, everything exceeded our expectations, thanks to the exceptional team behind this trip.
Our contact person, Aishwarya, was incredibly responsive and helpful. She answered all our questions quickly and made us feel confident throughout the booking process. We opted to transfer money via bank transfer instead of paying cash on arrival, and the team’s transparency and professionalism made us feel completely at ease with this choice.
What truly set this experience apart was the team’s willingness to customize the itinerary to match our preferences. When we expressed interest in spending more time in the Serengeti and doing a balloon safari, they seamlessly adjusted the plan. We made the decision to skip Tarangire National Park to make it happen and feel it was worth it.
Our guide, Luis, played a huge role in making the safari unforgettable. His expertise, friendly demeanor, and attentiveness ensured we had the best experience possible. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure we spotted wildlife, enjoyed the stunning landscapes, and learned about the rich ecosystem of the parks.
We stayed in luxury tented accommodations, which was an incredible way to feel close to nature without sacrificing comfort. We particularly loved our stay at Signature Camp in the Serengeti. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife and enjoying the breathtaking views was truly magical. The only change we might have considered was upgrading to a lodge for our night at Ngorongoro due to the cooler temperatures, but even then, the facilities at the tented camp were well-maintained and comfortable.
The balloon safari was a highlight of the trip and worth every penny. While safaris are undeniably an expensive endeavor, the incredible service, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and personalized touches made us feel it was great value for money.
Overall, we would highly recommend this safari team to anyone considering a trip. From the smooth planning process to the unforgettable memories made on the ground, this was truly a dream adventure.
Thank you to Aishwarya, Luis, and the entire team for giving us an experience we will treasure forever!

Fantastic
We had a fantastic safari arranged by Beyond the plains. The hotel and lodge were really nice and we had a fantastic driver that made us see loads of animals including the Big Five in Masai Mara. I strongly recommend Beyond the Plains.

Extremely professional, welcoming and helpful. Super recommend choice as a tour operator!
I found Leopard Orchid on Safaribookings and they have been incredibly helpful since the very first conversations. The whole experience was completely customizable and you can request all sort of transfers as well if you like. We did Maasai Mara, Nakuru NP, Ambosseli NP and Tsavo East NP for a total of 5 days safari. Amazing experience, especially Maasai Mara and Nakuru where we managed to see all the big five plus a plenty of other stunning creatures. Our guide, Paul, definitely was a gigantic added value to the tour. He has always been super kind and willing to answer my numerous questions about the parks and their fauna. We really appreciated the passion Paul puts into his job, and it made all the difference in our experience.
Accomodations were always nice and cozy, maybe the one in Nakuru was the only not to be perfect, with a couple of inconveniences that happened. But, a part from that, even the choice of the accomodations was great. Communication with Michael was excellent as well as perceived service.
Regarding the price, we spent 3.2k USD for two people, which I believe is an ok price for all the things we have seen/done. Still one of the best quotes we got after talking with a few operators.
Generally speaking, I completely recommend the tour we did and specifically to book it with Leopard Orchid if you are looking for lovely attitude and solid competence.
