Flexible, organised and good value for money. Recommended!
Our guide was fabulous! PAPA JOHN was kind, courteous knowledgeable and patient with the animals, waiting for them to come out of hiding or cross the road. If it’s possible to choose your guide, choose him!
The back office staff were efficient and flexible (changing the date of our safari to fit my birthday celebrations).
LENCHADA CAMP
We stayed in a brick hut with shower room which was large and comfortable. The food was flavoursome however there was little meat on offer - fortunately I like vegetarian food.
BURAHI ZENONI HOTEL
Comfortable hotel with great local food. We stayed in a nice en-suite room. The staff were helpful and friendly.
AMBOSELI MOUNTAIN VIEW CAMP
A well positioned camp near Amboseli park with a fantastic view of Mount Kilimanjaro. We stayed in a large tent with integrated shower room which was very comfortable. The food was nice but there was very little meat - largely due to greedy guests - I think the meat should be served if it is not possible to cook more.
LUNCHES
We had a mix of roadside and packed lunches. The packed lunches were large but lacked variety, we much prefered the roadside cafe lunches.
SAFARIS
We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli safari camps on a 6-day tour and they were all magnificent. We saw every animal we expected except a leopard and we even saw a cheetah catch a gazelle. Amazing!
Our guide Joseph was THE BEST
So first things first, our guide Joseph was amazing. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and he seemed to know everyone in the park and on the roads. He was also a very skilled driver on some very rutted roads, as well as navigating traffic and trucks. I always felt safe with him driving.
I booked this safari for the off season, and the one thing to note is that we did not stay where we were told we were going to stay when we booked to stay for the Mara or Nakuru. So if you’re expecting to stay in an exact place, I would just make sure you have an understanding with the the tour operator (I didn’t ask, so I wasn’t put off by it, just noting it). My car was full of people all using different tour operators, so sometimes we did stay at different places, but we did all the safaris together which was nice.

Great adventure!
Lenchada Safaris gave us an unforgettable experience! Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli were beautiful parks and the pace of the safari was great. Our guide Moses was welcoming, knowledgeable, caring, and experienced. We felt so safe with him as he showed us all the different animals and taught us about the wildlife, plants, and culture. He went the extra mile to show us everything, even the elusive leopard! You can tell he really loves his work and it made our time so beautiful. We also had such a lovely time meeting new friends in our safari group. The staff at all the lodgings were professional and kind. We really loved the Amboseli Mountain Camp, a gorgeous place! Our time in Kenya was made so special by all the wonderful people we met and we are especially grateful to Moses, Lenchada Safaris, and all the staff at the camps and parks. It definitely was a great value tour and 10/10 recommend!

Incredible experience
We had an amazing safari stay! Our guide, Dickson, was incredible: very kind, professional, and always dedicated to giving us the best experience possible. He made a lot of effort to search for the animals and helped us see as many species as possible.
The JAMBO LODGE hotel is beautiful, with a wonderful setting and staff who are truly warm and welcoming 😍

Well Experience in Kenya
Just contacting the tour (Alex) few days before we arriving in Kenya, and Alex super helpful and fast response in arranging our 3 days 2 night to go Safari in Masai Mara. Then we accompanied by Dennise for the whole 3 days 2 nights Safari. Dennise was helpful in pointing and showing us animals there, find a good spot for sunset! And also spot for taking pictures. Thankyou Alex and Dennise.

Masai Mara Amazing Tour
It was an amazing experience. We met many beautiful and rare animals and can enjoy the game drive as its fullest. The guide was also really friendly and made his best effort to show us as many animals as he can, during the limited time we had. It was so crowded of other tourists but he can make our time as effective and efficient as possible. So the crowd size was not the big problem. This trip is best for the one who like adventurous experience. The tour includes all (accommodation, food, transportation, and even admission fee). So we didn't have to worry about anything.

Robin was friendly and knowledgeable
We loved the tour. The food at Lenchada camp in Masai Mara was great! Robin worked so hard to get us to see the very best stuff. He answered all of our questions and told us about every animal. The hotels the last two days were nice. The highlight was the animals at Masai Mara and the walk at Crescent Island with the boat ride. It was an amazing value for 5 days.
