Our tour operator was informative and hospitable.
I highly recommend Rupia! My sister and I went on a 3 day safari and had an amazing experience.
The communication with Matt throughout the planning process helped me to feel confident and at ease. Our guide was helpful, informative and hospitable. I am so grateful we landed on Rupia for our Safari experience!

Amazing experiences with SCB Tours and Travel!
I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to SCB Tours and Travel for providing me with an unforgettable safari experience! My recent journey with them was absolutely incredible, filled with extraordinary memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.
In July 2023, I had the privilege of embarking on a 15-day safari with SCB Tours and Travel. Despite the short notice with which we booked this adventure, SCB managed to craft a remarkable experience, a testament to their exceptional communication skills. They were proficient in English, which made our interactions enjoyable and allowed for many shared laughs.
What truly set them apart was their exceptional service. From the very beginning to the very end of our safari, we felt cared for and cherished as customers. The guides displayed an impressive depth of knowledge and an infectious passion for both the wildlife and the region, transforming the safari into an educational and exhilarating journey.
Even though we had to make last-minute arrangements, SCB Tours and Travel skillfully orchestrated a captivating tour for us at a remarkably reasonable price. It's clear that they provide excellent value for money.
In summary, my experience with SCB Tours and Travel was nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to fellow travelers seeking a well-organized, amicable, and thrilling safari encounter. With their outstanding commitment to service, value-driven approach, reliability, and genuine enthusiasm for what they do, I can confidently affirm that SCB Tours and Travel stands as a premier choice for anyone wishing to savor the finest that the wilderness has to offer!

An excellent organisation
Leopard Orchid safaris has been an excellent tour operator for my time in Kenya. Even befeore my arrival in the country they have always turned up being caring, kind and available. Elijah, our local coordinator, was the one we were keeping in touch with: a very capable man with very good organisational skills and ready to meet our demands.
Once landed our guy guide/ driver Patrick turned up being the best we could get: always punctual, available for any questions, very organised and with a very good preparation not only about the country and its history but even as the places and parks visited were concerned. The vehicle we have been travelling with was in a perfect state, always tidied up and very clean for the whole duration of the experience.
All the accommodations met our expectations with some even over taking them.
I therefore strongly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to everyone who wish to spend some lovely time here in Kenya, visiting Parks and spotting animals with very professionist guys all along your permanence.

A young promise of the safari service
The organizator, Elijah, was very kind and mindfull of ours needs, while our tour guide, Patrick, was extremly attentive, always punctual and kind. He answered all of our questions, not only about the animals and visited places, that he knows very well, but even about Kenya as a whole. He showed excellent driving skills and was always mindfull of our well being.
The vehicle was in very good conditions and Patrick made sure that it was always clean.
From start to end the Leopard Orchid Safaris showed both kindness and competence.

This whole Company seems like one big scam
Dont book with SCB Tours and Travel!
My friend Andrea and I fell for them and feel that we got scammed!
We booked a trip with them for March 2023 to do a round trip in Uganda. We decided to book it because of the attractive pricing. We checked with them whats included and they told us, that everything is already included in the price (permits, car, tourguide, accomodation, food...), so we did the initial payment. Right after that the let us know that the offer was sent by a IT guy and he forgot to put tax in the offer, but as its their fault, we don't have to pay anything extra.
The tour started and it was good for the first few days. We even asked if we could extend the reip for 2 more days and paid 500€ extra in cash for that. But right before we should go to see the gorillas Solomon (owner of the company) told us, that our vegetarian diet exceeds the budget and he has no money left to pay during the trip if we go one like this. We were stupid enough (and maybe annoyed enough) that we made a deal with him: we agreed we would pay for the accomodation and he would manage the rest so we can go on with our trip as planned.
The next day we had a long drive and I remember waking up in the car because it stopped. The other guide (abraham) and the driver left the car and now it was only Solomon and us. We were standing at the roadside in the middle of no where and Solomon told us we need to pay 900€ extra to proceed the trip, otherwise he hasn't any money left. He put such high pressure on us that we considered paying for a second. After lots of tears the trip was being canceled. And they brought us back to Kampala (btw we even had to pay for the gas).
In Kampala we had a lot oft extra costs and we contacted Solomon to ask for a refund of at least the 500€ for the extension if the trip, that obviously did not take place. We are discussing this with him since March. We didn't want to give bad reviews immediately as we were still hoping for our money.
Solomon will answer to our comments and threathens us to contact our workplace to leave bad comments about us, he threatens that he will let my friend be arrested in Kenya and he tells lies about us being racists. He even tells people that we are lesbians which is concerning due to the fact that homosexuals can go to prison for that in Uganda or even get sentenced with death penalty. He not only seem to be a scammer but threatens us as persons and considering to harm us.

Superb!!
It started with Savannah Woods Safaris when I received the package quote from Lucy Wangui. She was very helpful and accommodating. She gave me all the details of the tour and answered all my questions.
Upon arrival at the Nairobi Airport, Alex, our tour guide & driver greeted us. He was so helpful with our luggage. He made sure that we are very comfortable.
We can considered Alex as Mr. Webster about Maasai Mara. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the wild animals of Maasai Mara park.
It is worth the value of money as we had an amazing experience
We will highly recommend the Savannah Woods Safaris to our friends.
