Great safari experience!
Great first safari experience with Lenchada safaris and Andrew as our guide! He was super knowledgeable about the things we saw on our drive when we asked him questions. If you want to know something, just ask him!
The first day evening drive was my personal favorite. Throughout the trip, we saw tons of animals - elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, impalas, leopard, lions, cheetahs, hippos, and more! It’s important to remember that we’re in nature and it’s impossible to predict what animals you’ll see, so be nice to your guide and enjoy the ride through nature, regardless if you see big 5 or not :)
Lenchada camp was wonderful! Helen took care of us and helped us get hot water running when we had trouble - she was such a joy to chat with! The food at the camp was delicious and simple. Lots of beans/lentils and rice. Tented camps had an adjoining shower and bathroom.
Tiny cons (to be expected for a budget safari, not a big issue at all) : The packed lunch on the second day left a bit to be desired so I’d recommend bringing some extra food if you get hungry. Our safari vehicle had definitely seen better days, but it didn’t impact our trip too much.
Overall, would highly recommend this safari for budget travelers - it was WAY better than I expected and we had an unforgettable experience.

Great budget safari
Great budget safari! We really enjoyed our time at Lenchada camp. The tents were nicer than expected with a shower and bathroom connected :D The people working there were kind and helped us whenever we had a problem. Breakfast and dinner was delicious! Lunch as a vegetarian was small (bread and fruit) so bring some extra snacks and water. And remind the guide to bring water if it’s included in your package!
Andrew was a good guide, if you have questions about the names of animals/birds, just ask him. We saw so many elephants, giraffes, and all the big cats! Our jeep was a bit of an older car, but for a budget safari you can’t expect too much. We still enjoyed standing with the roof off and seeing all the nature! Great safari :D thanks Alex for helping us organize everything!

Great trip, very professional and friendly
We went for. 3-days trip in Maasai with Isaac, excellent and careful driver. We always felt very safe. Isaac is friendly, funny, knows very well the best spots and animals’ behavior. The Lenchada camp was friendly, food was healthy, the tented rooms were charming. We saw list of animals. The so called rainy season is less busy with tourists and the landscapes after rain are awesome. We hilghly recommend this reasonably priced package

Will recommend this to be your Safari trip.
The guide, Albert, had good knowledge about animals, was a good and safe driver, and his punctuality was superb.
This Safari is the best value for money you can choose.

Excellent and highly reccomended!
We had a 2-day private safari at the Mara. Our guide, Albert, was nothing but fantastic. His calmness and knowledge about the park and animals made the trip perfect, and his punctuality was highly appreciated. The food and staff were also great. We can not reccomend lenchada enough for what was a great trip.

Well organized
It was beyond our expectations. We saw loads of animals, even at the first day we almost see all sorts. We chose the option to go with a van, which turned out to be great choice, we went the same routes as the jeeps. There was heavy rain but we only got stuck once thanks to our driver Albert who was really amazing! The tents were also great and cozy and we also liked the food. We would recommend it 100%.

Above expectations
The tour was perfect. From the start our amazing guide Wilson was waiting for us at the airport. I recommend booking the 4x4 car. Our trip was short (only 1 night) but they made sure we saw everything and took full advantage of extra activities. Alex was very attentive with the reservation. 100% recommended.
