Memorable experience
We took 5 day Masai mara- nakuru- naivesha with lenchada safaris. The experience was wonderful and is more than worth the price. Our guide and driver, James is very knowledgeable and he made sure we all were very comfortable throughout the journey. We saw all the big five including the feasting of the cheetahs. Everything from punctuality, cleanliness and staff behaviour was top notch. I strongly recommend lenchada and if possible ask for James as the guide.

Overall Good Experience
I would recommend Lenchada as my overall experience was good. I have taken 3 days 2 nights group safari tour with them and enjoyed it . Our tour guide Evans is a fun loving person and also experience guy, he has a good knowledge about the park and we could see 4 out of Big 5 during the one full day trip. Would suggest to pay them on cash and not through the online link the agency send as it is not secured and will lead to fraud transaction which i experienced.

an unforgettable experience
everything was nice. Our guide James tried to show us all the animals and we saw them all. The tent we stayed in was comfortable. Only the second day water problem, dirty flowed from the tap. They gave the necessary attention and tried to find a solution. lunch and dinner were delicious, maybe they could diversify breakfast. We thank you for everything.

Amazing Travel Company!
Lenchada travel offers a great service. I was traveling with a colleague after working for a few days in Nairobi and we had a great time. Our driver Kikito went above an beyond in the game drives to make sure we could see all the animals. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The food in the campsite was really good and all the people are willing to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you for helping me have the best memories possible during my time in the Masai Mara.

Spectacular with a Side of Vexation
The main day of our safari, we were very blessed and got to see almost every major species of animal possible in Maasai Mara. That being said, the drive was quite frustrating at times. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable but also restless. Every time he decided to stop so that we could take pictures, he would suddenly shift gears and floor it or move us back and forth unnecessarily and without warning. Some people got hurt, and a few of us have really blurry pictures of the sky and apparatus of the open roof as it hit us in the face or chest from the whiplash. James was a great driver other than the twitchiness, however. He never got us stuck in the mud like we witnessed other drivers do and really did do his best to help us see the animals as clearly and closely as possible while keeping us safe. Other main annoyances like the terrible roads weren't his fault. The only other suggestion I'd have is for him to keep certain comments himself; the picnic would have been a lot more comfortable without them.
The places we stayed in were nice as were the meals. Hm, perhaps the vehicles could be better suited for safaris rather than just regular vans, though. The one were we in was cramped as far as legroom and storage space and barely up to the challenge of the Maasai Mara roads.

Friendly efficient safe and affordable 3D Mara + Nakuru
The drivers were safe and attentionate. Camp in the Mara was rustic but very pleasant. Chatting by the fire camp with the staff and visitors was a nice experience. Electricity is only available for a few hours , so make sure you come prepared. During the safari, had a maximum of 7 in the 9-seater which was confortable. The guide did every effort to make our safari a success. Staying 3 nights is not necessary except if you are there during the migration season and want to increase your chance of seeing the river crossing. Lake Nakuru is the perfect park to combine with Mara. The flaMingos and the rhinos are many there and the sight is stunning. I stayed at Matfam hotel which was pleasant as well.

Always again
It was great from the beginning. Pick-up was on-time, the car clean and reliable. The driver was very friendly and tried hard to make everything possible. The camp was clean and really beautiful. We could not have asked for more.
