We had an amazing experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris and truly enjoyed every moment of our 6-day safari through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara.
Our guide, Paul, was fantastic. He is a very skilled driver and we always felt completely safe on the road with him. He really knows how to drive through the parks and somehow always seemed to find the best spots to see the animals. As a guide, he is very passionate about wildlife and treats the animals with a lot of respect. He also shared lots of interesting information about the animals, nature and the different parks, which made the experience even more special.
The safari itself was absolutely amazing. Paul made a huge effort to get us as close as possible to the animals, and we were lucky enough to see so many of them up close. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to find a leopard, despite Paul’s best efforts, but we were incredibly lucky to spot a cheetah in the wild, which was an unforgettable moment! The three parks were all very different from each other, with completely different landscapes and wildlife, which made the six days varied and interesting from beginning to end.
The accommodation was also very good. All the lodges were clean, comfortable and included meals. Our absolute favourite was Oilepo Lodge. It is a beautiful tented lodge surrounded by nature and peace, with an incredible view of Mount Kilimanjaro and a watering hole visible from the restaurant. This place really stole our hearts!
We also want to mention Michael, who arranged everything with us online before the trip. He was always very quick to respond, friendly and helpful. We unexpectedly had a change in who could join us on the safari, and Michael was extremely understanding and flexible. He thought along with us and made us feel that it was absolutely no problem. We really appreciated this and want to thank him again for making everything so easy.
The transfers between the different parks can sometimes take quite a while, but this is simply part of travelling between the parks, and the safari experiences make it completely worthwhile. Paul is also an excellent driver, which made the longer drives much easier and helped us save time along the way. Water was always provided in the safari vehicle as well.
A safari is definitely an investment, but with Leopard Orchid Safaris we really felt that we got great value for our money. From the communication and organisation to the accommodation, guiding and safari experience itself, everything was very well taken care of.
We would absolutely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Kenya. Thank you to Michael and especially Paul for an amazing experience that we will never forget!

An unforgettable safari experience in Kenya
I participated in this tour for my honeymoon.
When we were planning, my wife had concerns regarding the local safety and the hygiene of the toilets and hotels, but in the end, we spent the tour without worrying about it much.
If there are people who have concerns like the above and are hesitant to take the step to a Safari tour, please refer to this review.
I think it will definitely be a memory of a lifetime!
This tour covers Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara, so there is no single view, and you can enjoy all 6 days.
When booking a tour, they will ask about options and hotel grades, so they can suggest a tour that suits your personal preferences!
Regarding public safety
Since they will pick me up at the airport and drop me off at the hotel on the way back, I don't think there's anything to worry about.
②About the restroom
You can stop at a clean and well-maintained restroom while traveling.
About the hotel
Although it depends on the accommodation, all the facilities we stayed at had hot water.

Trip of a lifetime!
If I could give a 10 star I would! Very professional prompt and friendly service by the entire team. Booking was a breeze! Michael was prompt in communication. All the lodges booked were fantastic in quality and service.
Our driver/guide Paul was exceptionally good. Gentle polite professional to the core. Pick ups and drop offs, driving around the parks was done with care and promptness. His expertise and knowledge of the parks and the routes helped us enjoy the trip immensely. He went above and beyond in locating animals and taking us to each sighting. Patiently waiting for us to enjoy and take pics always making sure we had a good angle for photos. He helped us book our balloon safari with a fantastic company that included a champagne breakfast in the bush! Airport pick ups and drop offs were very prompt and efficient. Incredible experience overall! 100/10
Highly recommend!

Amazing Safari
Thank you to Leopard Orchid Safaris for organizing an amazing experience. From the
moment I contacted them they were always quick to respond to my questions however small, and quickly made changes as requested to our requirements.
From the moment they picked us up at the hotel it was clear that they truly care about their clients, we were greeted by Victor one of the booking agents, James the Director and owner of the company and Fred our driver/safari guide, and they presented each of us with a hat and a water bottle.
We spent 6 days travelling between Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboselli and all were special for different reasons. Fred was amazing and worked hard during our time in Masai Mara, so we were able to see the Big 5, and then continued to communicate with other drivers to ensure we saw as many animals in the rest of the parks.
All of our hotels on safari were Sopa Lodges and the locations, views and food was fantastic.
Fred always tried to get in the perfect spot for my daughters to take pictures while being respectful to the other drivers and also giving the animals enough space (some drivers in my opinion tried to get too close).
We finished off our trip relaxing for a few days in Diani Beach and again the hotel suggested by Leopard Orchid was wonderful.
We would without a second thought recommend Leopard Orchid to our family and friends and hope to come back to Kenya again some day and will definitely contact them.

Amazing experience
Leopard orchid! What a company, from the very beginning negotiating with Michel was very easy, he was very kind and it felt like a conversation between friends, Michael made all the changes I asked for and was attentive the whole time and replied almost immediately when I wrote to him.
Likewise, George our guide was excellent, he looked for the best spots and agreed to go back to safari points that I asked to revisit to see another animal. He promised that we would be able to see all the animals and he kept his promise, he searched for them and we were able to see everything we wanted. It was like having a friend in Kenya available to help us with everything. He has wifi service in his van and that was excellent. A very reliable and collaborative person. In addition to that, he was respectful with the animals and did not harass them as we saw in other cars. Simply very good service.

Just an amazing experience!
Our 6-day safari experience with Leopard Orchid was simply amazing!
The planning, proposal, and booking were super easy and hassle-free, and they tailored a package completely to our needs. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were able to fully enjoy the moment and discover the incredible wildlife and nature.
A special thanks to Francis, our driver, who made this trip truly unforgettable! He adapted to all of our wishes and showed us the wildlife in the best possible way, while always treating nature with the utmost respect. We loved getting to know him and already miss him after just one day! 😅
All the accommodations they recommended were perfect, and we absolutely loved the route. You can 100% rely on their organization. Thank you for making this such a special trip!

Leopard Orchid Safaris and our guide Sam Made Our Kenya Family Trip 🤩
We spent 6 unforgettable days exploring Kenya’s national parks with Leopard Orchid Safaris, and the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The organization was seamless: well-planned routes, comfortable transfers, and a perfectly balanced itinerary between wildlife drives and rest. Our driver-guide Sam truly made the difference: his knowledge of the parks and animal behavior made every game drive engaging and safe. Traveling with our two children, aged 8 and 11, Sam’s patience and attentiveness made the safari genuinely memorable for them too. Communication before and during the trip was clear and reassuring. We highly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari !
