Amazing agency
Last April I booked a 4 days safari in the Maasai Mara with Lenchada Safaris.
Alex, my main point of contact, was very friendly and always available to answer my many questions. He really did his best to ensure I would have an exceptional time in the park, which I had!
I had two different drivers: Denis and Isaac. Both of them where very kind, with a lot of knowledge about the park and the animals we encountered. They made sure we would see the most of it and enjoy an exceptional wildlife.
I've also really liked the place we stayed. If you can, ask Alex for the deluxe tent, it is really much more comfortable than the standard one.
The staff was also very friendly.
The only 'downside', would be the food. It's a buffet with nothing exceptional. The quality is okay but definitely not great.
Even worst would be the lunch with dried chicken and empty sandwiches. As I was on a budget safari, I guess it is normal not to expect a 5 stars meal, but i believe there is definitely room for improvement on this side.
But honestly, food put aside, I would give a 5 stars to Lenchada Safaris. I deeply believe that it would be extremely difficult to find something with a better value for money. And their customer service is just so good :)

Evan was an excellent tour operator. He was willing to assist and very kind.
Evan is an excellent communicator. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we encounter during the safari. Evan willingly gave me opportunities to take pictures. Evan was on time and friendly. The food and living accommodations was excellent.

Do not look for another company
I am a photographer and what I wanted from this safari was much more than it really was.
Although prices are generally close to each other, accommodation options make a difference in price, are tents? pool lodge? What?
The Lenchada safari was absolutely wonderful in the tent camping area, remember that you are coming to the safari, if you want a pool, the suitable place for you is the beach sides.
The guide who took us around on the first day of the safari seemed to disappoint me, he passed by the lion walking with prey in his mouth and did not stop. it was a terrible situation (remember this is about the driver, not the company) On the other side, she saw a family of lions in the form of a flock, she did not stop because she went there, I wish she had stopped :), We had a 5-day safari, they handed us over to the JAMES guide, as other people would return, and then it happened, everything was very good, freakishly good and colorful character, She must see you as her friend, not as a customer, she always talked about what to do with us,
While most safari groups saw lions once in 3 days, we saw 3 different lion groups and 2 different cheetah groups on the same day. Despite having a new child, she is very committed to her job and loves her job very much, Alex, the owner of the company, is a very nice person, even if you ask for help for something other than safari, she helps you a lot. I highly recommend you to prefer the safari in Lencha and to persistently ask for JAMES in particular.
If it doesn't match your dates, I think you change your date :)
If you take a tour in the form of a 5-day plan, it is very full for Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru in 1 day. JAMES was the only one who completely changed our thoughts and expectations.
If you want to go on a safari as a customer, look at other companies, but if you want to go on a safari with your friend, that friend is Lenchada Safari and JAMES.
Thank you so much for everything Lenchada and JAMES ;))

Fantastic trip in Kenya with Lenchada Safaris
Everything was absolutely excellent! Kenya is one love! Safari tour our exceeded all our expectations. Staying at Loyk Mara Camp was unforgettable. And of course Richard. We were so lucky to have him as our guide. During the whole trip he was very kind, patient and helpful. Richard is not only an excellent guide with very good Russian, we considered him as an integral member of our cheerful and a bit crazy team)) We're happy to meet practically all kinds of birds and animals in Maasai Mara and are very grateful for such incredible adventure.
