Amazing tour!
We had the most incredible experience during our private 2 - day tour, with the best guide Geeman. We got to see almost every animal in the park, including all of the big five! Geeman really made an effort for us to see so much we possibly could.
Some unexpected things happened like cars getting stuck in the mud but Geeman did his magic and we got out of there. Seriously couldn’t be happier with our guide, so professional and an amazing driver!

Unforgettable experience
Our driver G-man was the best, exceptionally skilled, funny and had a lot of very interesting information to share about the animals that we got to see up close and very fast! Thanks to G-man’s skills and him being connected to other drivers we got to see 4 out of the big 5 in the first 2 hours (!!), although we were quite lucky as well. His driving skills brought us through hard to reach areas where others would get stuck. Even when things did not go as planned he was very calm and relaxed and informed us what was happening. It kept us all comfortable and happy.
Even though we only had a two day trip we got to see all the animals we wanted and more, and G-man took us on the best rollercoaster ride I’ve ever been on. Amazing nature, animals, driver and experience, highly recommend.
Thanks for the adventure G-man, I’ll never forget it

Excellent, well organised, good communication.
The safari was an incredible experience for us first timers. The game drives were quite well planned, and we got to see all the big, but also the small animals and plants! We did a total of 6 days, covering Masai mara, lake Nukuru, Naivasha and Amboseli.
I also have to give a special shout-out to our driver and guide - Gerald, aka, G-Man. If you are to go with lenchada, I highly recommend you request him. The man is not only incredibly knowledgeable but someone who is genuinely passionate about the job. He provided us with a lot of information about nature, culture, society, etc. He was a fantastic companion to have and always took special care of us and our requests.
I also want to give a special shout out to the boss, Mr. Alex, he not only checked on us throughout the trip, but always helped and communicated with us if we had any queries, and we highly appreciated the level of attention to his clients. He is someone who clearly cares about the welfare of the customer and this is the biggest asset to taking Lenchada.
Overall I would give the experience a 4.7/5!
If I had to put any areas of improvement, it would only be our first camp (Mara Lenchada Camp) in Masai Mara, which could be a bit better. There was a bit of mould on the floors and roofs of the camps and the toilets weren't functional. However, the remaining hotels and camps (Buraha and AA Lodge) camps were beyond incredible with excellent amenities and services, including the ability to wake up to a private view of the Kilimanjaro which was a stunning experience, WiFi, bar, room service, incredible buffet and more.
Can highly recommend their services and you will thoroughly enjoy your time.

Reliable and transparent. Great tour, great guide (ask for Gerald/G-Man!)
Let me start off by saying that the tour overall was a great experience. We did the 6 Day Safari including Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. The office was very reliable, transparent and reasonable. The only negative I can point out was our first accommodation, as it had mold and no working toilet flush. The gamedrives were a lot of fun (many different animals upclose) and we got incredible insights in the way of life in Kenya; and thats all thanks to our very knowledgable guide Gerald (or G-Man, as he likes to be called). He really made sure that we had a great time and were comfortable at all times. He was just a great person and a pleasure to be around. I would recommend

Everything was clear and well organised.
I’ve had an amazing 4-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Everything was really well organised by the amazing people from the company. I would definitely recommend it to everybody.

Big Gman is AWESOME!
This 6 Day Safari was an impressive experience right from the first day. Animals every day, all day. Even got to see the elusive Black Rhino at Lake Nakuru!
Today, the last day of my 6 day safari was the Crème de la crème!
Woke up to the second morning of Mt. Kilimonjaro with a beautifully blue backdrop and scattered clouds. A sight to behold!
We saw most animals today from less than 50 feet! The rains last night must have brought them out in earnest! Don't get me wrong, I've seen many, many animals every single day, but today was phenomenal due to the very short distances!
I wish I could rate Big Gman and Lenchada Safaris a 10!

Wonderful experience
A budget safari that was more than we expected... we saw lots of animals, the drive and the places we stayed made it more adventurous.
Our driver Jimmy was exceptional(very knowledgeable about wildlife and a happy soul)... he made the trip so smooth and fun!
The company was very quick to answer any queries we had and made sure we did all that was included in the package.

The tour was everything I hoped it would be and more Our driver,
Our driver, Jimmy was wonderful; skillful driver, with a great understanding of the animals, plants and people in each area we visited. He made sure we saw as many of the animals in each region as possible. I couldn't recommend this trip more

Excellent,, I hade a wonderful experience.
I found Lenchada online while searching for Budget Safaris on you tube. My contact Hellen at Lenchada gave me all the details I needed and was there for me every step of the way. Nice to have a representative who is so helpful.
Our group of 4 got to spend time in the Masai Mara, Hells Gate Navashia, and Amboseli over the course of 6 days. Our driver Jimmy was very competent and a delightful tour guide. He made the trip enjoyable and we got to see so much up close.
The accommodations improved as the trip progressed ending with a wonderful stay at AA Lodge in Amboseli.
My expectations were well met and many times the safari exceeded them. I will be booking with Lenchada again.

Moses was the perfect guide and gave us a safari experience that exceeded all expectations!
We had an incredible safari trip with our guide Moses. The service and guidance provided by Lenchada from the planning stage to the safari trip itself was phenomenal. It was very affordable and the safari itself exceeded all of my expectations. Our guide Moses was experienced, reliable, friendly, and just generally fabulous. He was everything we could have hoped for in a guide and he gave us safari memories that will last a lifetime!
