Very reliable, great experience and helpful with my questions
The booking was very good, very helpful in the process and all questions asked. The guide Moses was amazing! He's an excellent driver, who took us to the best spots even through mud and rain to get the best pictures, he knows a lot and gave us good information. He was also reliable, flexible with everyone's schedule but knowing the main timing needs, helped with everything needed, took us to local places and he's known and respected by local communities so this is always a green flag for me. He managed the weather amazingly well in rainy season and my experience was amazing thanks to him and John. Super nice people, friendly and professional.
The price was higher than with other agencies for the exact same package so I found that a bit discouraging when I found out but other than that every service was very good quality and no suprises: everything that was not included was clear since the start. Accommodation was great, food was good and overall I'm 100% satisfied and happy to have done it.
Going off piste!
Don't follow me was on the back of the Toyota 4x4! We soon understood why 🤣.
Moses our guide from Lenchada Safaris was absolutely brilliant!
We did 6 nights + 7 days.
X2 Masai Mara
X1 Nakuru
X1 Naivasha
X2 Amboseli
Quick download, we loved Masai Mara for the chase of the animals and Amboseli for the abundance of elephants and view of Kilimanjaro! We booked a private tour at medium price range and I would definitely recommend paying a little more for at least medium priced accomodations and I'd you can private tour in a jeep! We met with travellers who went in the converted"4x4" mini bus and it's just not the same experience.
THE BOOKING
Let me start with the booking. I communicated with Alex who is the owner of Lenchada (his wife is the owner of Jockey Tours - effectively one company)
Alex was informative and quick to respond.
THE GUIDE - MOSES
Absolutely brilliant, he went off road where possible which made it fun! He always seemed to know where and when to find the animals and preps you for a photo or video shot.
Extremely knowledgeable (like an encyclopedia)
He times the great migration perfectly where we waited just over an hour. Apparently other toyr groups had waited up to 4hrs!!
THE SAFARI
Be prepared for early starts, it's recommended! Animals do not like heat, especially the ones you want to see (Lions, Elephants, Rhinos), so I would follow their agenda.
ACCOMODATIONS
Were brilliant. We enjoyed all but mostly the hotels in Naivasha because the animals run wild here, we had Zebras visiting our back porch + Amboseli, glamping style tents with beautiful views of Kilimanjaro and I really felt like I was out in the sticks, touching it up to enjoy the natural wonders of this area. It was something out of a movie but overall, in each location, the service was great!
Maasai Mara - Mara Jambo Lodge
Nakuru - Nakuru lodge
Naivasha - Naivasha Sopa lodge
Amboseli - Amboseli Lodge
Notice - the drives between locations is long but it's totally worth it! Bring a decent camera, at least a compact one. Your mobile phone will not do it justice, at least a camera can try and will produce better!
So much to say but I hope this review encourages you to go on a safari and reason to choose Lenchda!

Let's see wild animals!
Seeing wild life in action is an incredible experience! Our guide was so enthusiastic to show us the most animals possible 🦁 some people even listen hyenas during the night close to Lenchada Camp!
