Exceeded Expectations
Safari: This bucket list adventure was well worth the trip! Kenya was the place to do it and June was a lovely month. Even from our first 5 minutes into Maasai Mara, we saw a parade of elephants which was magical! Guides in the parks connect on walkie talkies and make sure they communicate on where animals are. They all support each other and were very friendly. We saw SO much wildlife - it was incredible! Having a nice camera is good, but nothing too extravagant is necessary. Phones work well for pics and videos, too!
Guide: Our guide, Richie, made the trip! He made us feel comfortable and prioritized us getting the best experience. He shared nice binoculars with us, taught us so much about Kenya, cultures and traditions, and the animals and plants. He was well-liked and regarded by other guides and helpful when cruisers got stuck in mud. We were so grateful for his knowledge, professionalism and friendship.
Vehicle: We were pleasantly surprised at how nice our cruiser was. Each night, Richie cleaned the outside and inside. There was so much space and it was perfect out on the game drives. We loved having a private tour to be able to spread out our things and move to different seats. On our long game drives, it honestly didn’t feel like we were in a vehicle for hours. It was fun to switch between standing and sitting.
Food: I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we were fed very well and the meals provided were sufficient. We didn’t see a need for snacks since we were given large and delish meals (consisting of protein like chicken and/or beef, vegetable, rice or ugali, chapati, and usually fresh fruit for dessert. Places had beer, wine, coffee, juice, and more.
Accommodations: Staff at campsites were fabulous and friendly. We appreciated the high quality service at each location. Campsites were more like ‘glamping’ and it was nice to have a real toilet and shower connected to the tent. Hotels were very nice! Happy with the options and supposed with how nice the budget option was that we selected. We were worried about bugs, but they weren’t even an issue.
Overall, I would recommend this to people who are open to immersing themselves into and love learning about other cultures. Those interested in flora and fauna will enjoy all that you will see. If you want a more personal tour, go with a group and get a private tour. We appreciated the communication from
Alex and the company throughout the booking process. The price was perfect for what it was. Thank you!

Super Friendly and Knowledgeable Guide
Kush was a great tour guide who not only showed us the Maasai Mara, but more importantly explained the sanctity of the park and the necessity to preserve the natural environment. I appreciate him for his patience and friendliness.

Our tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.
Worthwhile value for the money; the tour operator was communicative and the tour guide Elias was simply a pro. You felt his hospitality, pride, and general warmth for showing us his beloved country’s pride - Maasai Mara.

Wow, just wow! Thanks Kush!
I had the experience of a lifetime on this safari. With only two nights, we managed to see all the animals we sought out in greater quantities than expected. We caught sights of some elusive animals like the leopard and serval cat.
Kush was an incredibly skilled driver and host who did everything possible to show our group all the sights Masai Mara had to offer. I would recommend you request him because he does not disappoint. Animals aside, our tour included remarkable sunrises, double rainbows, and plant life. Food throughout our budget accommodation was great and plentiful.

Amazing experience
We had a wonderful time on our 3 day Masai Mara tour. We managed to see all of the Big 5, including a leopard and cheetah! Our driver Elias made sure we got a comprehensive view of the park, and even stayed 2 hours later than we were
scheduled to for us to see more lions. Would highly recommend this group tour, it's certainly an experience I will never forget.

Great experience!! More than expected
I have booked this 2 nights 3 days Masai Mara budget tour with Lenchada. The tour was mix of people from other tour companies and guide was probably from other company too. Besides, the tour itself was amazing. Not just we saw many animals in close distance but we got to see them feeding, preparing for hunting, migrating and more. The accommodation (Lenchada villege) was comfortable more than I expected. A big tent came with comfortable bed and private shower and toilet. We could also take shower with hot water. Every meal was buffet other than the lunch in Safari. Really appreciated for this opportunities and so satisfied with the experience.

Amazing experience
Our tour was to the Masai Mara for three days and two nights. The safari was amazing, and we were very lucky to see four of the big five. Our driver, James, did a great job taking care of everything.
The camp was also good. Our room had a double bed and a private shower and bathroom. The camp staff also provided hot water upon request.
The food was simple and good.
