Two Outstanding Safaris and Excellent Guides in Kenya
We can highly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris. From the very beginning, communication was fast and efficient, and they were happy to accommodate all our requests. We were able to tailor the safari itinerary exactly to our preferences.
The day before departure, they contacted us to confirm where we were staying in Nairobi and what time they would pick us up. They arrived exactly at the agreed time.
Our driver, Patrick, was an excellent guide as well as a skilled driver. He drove safely, which is especially important in local traffic conditions. He was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and shared many interesting facts about the animals we encountered. He always kept his promises and followed our agreed plans, while also showing us new and fascinating sights every day.
The five-day safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru was a fantastic start to our stay in Kenya. By the end of the trip, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to such a great guide.
After spending a few days on our own, we decided to book another safari, this time to Samburu. Even though it was during the Christmas holidays (we departed on December 25) and we arranged everything at the last minute (on December 21), Leopard Orchid Safaris once again organized everything perfectly. Our second driver, Peter, was also reliable, punctual, and helped us experience many remarkable sights and wildlife encounters.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the services provided by Leopard Orchid Safaris and would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.
Couldn’t have asked for anyone or anything to be better. It was perfect.
Our 4 day safari doing Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with Joel was the most amazing trip of our lifetime.
Joel was a fantastic guide who was knowledgeable, funny, caring and made sure me and my mother had the best trip ever.
The accomodation was comfortable and an amazing experience sleeping in open lodges, the food was fantastic and the transport in the Jeep was luxury.
We saw the Big 5 and everything else and couldn’t have asked for a better trip with a better person.
5 stars out of 5!!

A whole gem, amazing, kind, lovely, a whole vibe, he definitely needs a raise - an asset to the team
I had the pleasure of having David as my tour guide and this man was brilliant! He was keen for us all to experience seeing the wild life for the first time and genuinely you can tell he loves his job.
He was great at communicating and provided a history about each animal we saw - he’s so knowledgeable and passionate about his job, it shines through in his presentation when not only trying to find the animal but when we do see it too! It was my first safari and oh how I wish I could do it again - if I do come back, I’m asking for David because I felt like the service we received from him was 10/10 - I had the BEST experience.
In regards to the service, as a woman, I felt safe and did not feel uncomfortable at all, it was a great experience - David was so friendly and smiley and he deserves to be recognised- he is an asset to the team

Great experience and great service
What a great experience. Right from the beginning, the staff were very helpful and responsive. Fredrick was masterful in organization and Zack was the best driver as we had a solid 8 days.

Best of the best
Just ending the Kenya portion of our trip and very sad to say goodbye to Alex. What’s an amazing guide. Found ALL the animals and was always able to position for the best close up shots. We saw everything the Mara had to offer thanks to Alex. Many key moments and sightings we were the only vehicle there. Alex is always flexible and makes sure that you are getting the adventure you wanted. Vehicle was fantastic and comfortable and even included a refrigerated cooler with water. The pop up is a must. Everything else that Splendid did for us was well organized. We’ve been spoiled. We’ll miss you Alex, thank you!

Please book them for your family
Let's Venture Africa Safari headed by Petricia has gifted the best safari days in Kenya I have ever experienced. She along with her driver cum guide, Mr. Joshua has been very patient and co-operative to all the needs we wanted. He was an excellent navigator and took to all the animal hotspots for the best view possible. We were gifted free jackets at the starting of the tour. The tour covered major 4 national parks including Masaai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate. It was a packed 8 days tour. We were provided with Land Cruiser Jeep car. Hospitality and punctuality amazed us a lot. They satisfied us through their tours and game drive. Behaviour was very commendable and no language problem was faced. Overall experience of my family was over the top.
Everyone on the tour was extremely helpful and polite to us throughout the whole process.
I would have to say this has been one of the best experiences I could have had.
From booking, to arrival, to the actual destination and the return to our hotel, everything was so well organised.
Even for lunch, we wasn’t expecting anything crazy but we had a hot plated lunch which was gorgeous and refreshments throughout the whole day.
We aimed to see the big 5 during the safari and we exceeded that! I went for the Nyerere Safari and I’m so glad I did (with the support of the guides as I was abit indecisive of which type of experience I wanted).
Overall I just cannot fault the whole day and I’m so grateful for the experience and the support during it.
Amazing trip!
Sharing our 10-day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar
This was our first trip to Africa!
Sereland Safari which is a locally owned business. I emailed them directly about what I wanted to see and the following day they had a full itinerary. I compared prices and they were the most reasonable for what I wanted. They will customize the trip to what you want and they made the process stress free. I also recommend the balloon ride, it was an amazing view. The company will plan that for you also.
From what I gathered if you want to see a lot of wildlife you must have an experienced guide. Our guide had 17 years of experience and he knew where to find specific animals. We saw the Big 5 multiple times plus many other animals, and one of the highlights was seeing a rhino in the Serengeti.
The lodging was top notch, compared to places in the US the accommodations were even better. The food and staff were amazing at both places we stayed.
I’ve attached our itinerary and the company’s contact information. They do use what’s app also so that’s an easy way to communicate. Here’s all the photos I took during our trip!

Fantastic tour and guide
We booked a 5 day tour with Uwanda to visit Mikumi National Park and Nyerere National Park. Our guide Kapande was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the roads and the parks was unbelievable. He also knows the animals so well he would position the truck perfectly or tell us to wait when we thought they had gone as he knew they would come round again. He was really friendly and accommodating the whole time. Can't recommend him and the whole experience enough.

Absolutely amazing experience
We could not have been happier with the tour. It exceeded all of our expectations. Our guide, Kapande, was absolutely brilliant, and made sure we had some truly extraordinary experiences on safari. Really impressed with the value for money of the tour, and communications from the company, but Kapande really made this an incredible safari. We will definitely book again!
