Efficient, genuine, and great value
A fantastic experience. My girlfriend and I did a 5-day safari, including two full days at the Masai Mara.
The organization was flawless from start to finish: from booking to hotel pick-up, from the agency stop to departure, and throughout the entire trip.
A special mention goes to our guide, Alex: skilled and confident behind the wheel (the roads and traffic are far from easy to handle), always kind, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had an unforgettable time. His explanations were spot on, but what we appreciated most was his discretion and spontaneity — never forcing the "tour guide role" with rehearsed lines, as sometimes happens elsewhere. He took us to see so many animals up close: we managed to spot all the Big Five along with countless other species, and took some truly beautiful photos.
Thanks also to John, an aspiring guide who joined us for the first three days, for his smile, kindness, and always knowledgeable answers.
Highly recommended!

best experience
I did a 3 days group safari with a friend and we are very satisfied and happy about our experience with lenchada safari. Our safari tour was amazing, we saw a lot of animals, even the rarest one, and we had the possibility to live a unique experience in the wild nature of savana. Our guide Bony was very good, experienced, well organised and gentle. Also the lenchada camp was so good and people were so kind. In general our experience was very good and we lived some of the best days of our lives.

Great choice at an affordable price
My partner and I used Lenchada Safaris on the recommendation of a friend. We spent six days in three different parks. The company offered excellent value for money. Sometimes you have to adapt, but that's subjective. We were lucky because we found a great group to travel with, and Joshua, our driver, was excellent and very kind.

We had a fantastic experience with this safari agency. Everything went exactly as planned, and the whole trip was well organized from start to finish.
Our driver was extremely helpful, friendly, and always available, while also being an excellent guide. He shared a lot of interesting information about the animals and the places we visited, making the safari even more enjoyable.

Great migration is greater with Lenchada!
Before planning our trip to Kenya, we got in touch with over 12 tour operators for the Maasai Mara safari.
Amongst these Lenchada was the second cheapest option for a 5 day safari.
We were in touch with Collins L, who was super responsive day-night-weekday-weekend.
Collins helped us tailor a safari based exactly on our dates and requirements.
He only ask for a nominal fee to confirm the booking, and the rest of the amount is paid just before departure.
On the day of the departure, Collins handed us over to Julius.
Julius was our safari guide who has been in the business for over 2 decades.
I had my doubts on the first day of the game drive as Julius did not stop where dozens of jeeps stood, to watch a lion.
He instead continued driving further and took us to a spot with 2 lions!
That's when I knew to blindly trust Julius!
Over the next 5 days we saw hippos, giraffes, elephants, lionesses, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos! Julius just doesn't miss!
Julius has many stories about learning the skill from his father, meeting tourists from all over the world and how his children are doing well at school. He is a positive man and it is refreshing to hear personal stories that are not just about hardships and struggles.
You can even request for Julius at the time of booking your safari. Those who have experience with safaris know that the chances of spotting animals is directly correlated to your guide's expertise!
We had a great safari and I assure you that if you are in the hands of Collins L and Julius, you are set to have the time of your life!

Professional , reliable and great service.
I did the 6 days Maasai Mara, Nakuru & Amboseli Safari. I highly recommend this safari it was such an amazing experience.
Communication with the company was great from the very start.
Acommodation was great I had no issues and was always greeted with a smile.
The tour is great value for money I felt very satisfied.
All three national parks are worth going to and all had different things go offer. I initially was going to go to the Maasai Mara only but I decided to go to for the safari that also had Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and was very glad I did.
A big special thanks to my guides David and Papa Johns they both had great knowledge when asking them questions , always happy to help , patient, safe and great drivers I felt very relaxed throughout the safari.
They also did a fantastic job finding all the great spots for beautiful pictures and to get into positions to see the animals.
Having a good guide makes a big difference when doing a safari and I was very happy to have them to make my experience wonderful.

They get the job done!
Julius was, without question, one of the absolute highlights of our Masai Mara trip.
His years of experience shone through in every decision he made. From perfectly timed game drives to exceptional judgment on where to position the vehicle for the best views and photographs, we always felt we were in the safest pair of hands behind the wheel, even on the toughest terrain.
When it came to spotting wildlife, Julius was nothing short of incredible. He seemed to know exactly where to find the Big Five and somehow always managed to get us the best angles without disturbing the animals. Time and again, we found ourselves with front row seats to unforgettable moments.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Julius has a larger than life personality. His charisma is infectious, and it genuinely felt like he knew everyone we crossed paths with. I would not be surprised if there was not a soul in Kenya who did not know Julius.
And then there is his sense of humor. Hands down, he is one of the funniest people I have ever met. He had us laughing throughout the trip and made every drive memorable, even between sightings.
We came to the Masai Mara expecting to miss the lions when we left, but truthfully, we are going to miss Julius even more. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, your safari is already off to an incredible start.
