A great experience with Lenchada Safaris – special shout-out to our guide, Dickson
We had a wonderful time with Lenchada Safaris. Setting up the tour remotely was smooth and felt completely secure, which was our main priority. We also liked that the deposit was reasonable and not a huge percentage of the total cost—unlike some operators who demand 30% right away with no guarantees.
The tour itself matched the description perfectly. The only small issue was a mix-up at the beginning: our driver initially went to the wrong pick-up point. It got sorted quickly, though.
I have to give special thanks to our guide, Dickson. He truly made the trip memorable. Not only was he knowledgeable and fun to be with, but he also made us feel completely safe. He even helped us with some personal matters that had nothing to do with the tour, which was above and beyond.
One thing we really appreciated (especially given our cultural background) is that he's not intrusive. If you prefer a quiet ride, he’s perfectly happy to let you enjoy the scenery in peace 😁
Highly recommended!

Wilson was the best driver! So fast and amazing at spotting the best animals.
Wilson was an excellent guide. He was friendly, a great driver, and amazing at explaining all the animals we saw.
Some highlights we saw were a lioness hunt (Wilson got us to the very front for the best view) and a leopard in a tree with his kill!
Wilson was so friendly and a great guide. Highly recommend!

Great safari experience with everything you could wish
We booked a 5 day tour with …, and our guide was Dickson. We have visited Amboseli, Naivasha and Nakuru lakes and Masai Mara, and the tour exceeded all expectations! We have been to all the famous scenery of Kenya and seen all animals of the African Big 5 (and many more others).
Dickson was very responsible and always attentive to our needs during the rides. Every trip was smooth and easy and we were always on time.
Dickson also told us a lot about the animals we saw and was happy to answer any questions we had. Definitely would recommend booking tours with him to anyone!

We saw so much!
We have had an amazing time on safari with Lenchada and Wilson Mutua as our driver/guide! He knew exactly where to take us for the best game and we even manage to see a pack of lionesses hunting as well as a leopard in a tree (very rare). Wilson was very knowledgeable about the are and the animals and very accommodating to our needs. The Lenchada camp served lovely food and the beds are extremely comfy. We would highly recommend.

Dickson was friendly, skilled and caring, doing everything he can to give us a great experience
Our safari tour, guided by Dickson, was amazing! We had 6 days seeing so many incredible animals and beautiful scenery. We got to see rare animals up close which was incredible. Dickson navigated the tricky roads/paths to help us get around quickly and comfortably and used his many contacts to efficiently find the best spots, all of this got us the best views. He kept us well informed throughout the trip and asked for feedback to keep trying to make his trips better.

Depending on the guide if ypu have a good or bad experience
The first part with Samuel as a guide was very good. I can highly recommend him!
Unfortunately we had to shift car and guide after 4 days. From then on the organisation was bad. We had different programms in the group, so they wanted us to compromise. I had to call the agency to clarify what we booked.

Dickson was everything you could ask for in a tour operator. Friendly, skilled and informative
I would highly recommend Lenchada safaris for a competitively priced safari. We had 6 days seeing everything we wanted to. Lions, Elephants, Cheetahs, Rhinos and so much more as close up as we could safely get. Our guide Dickson new all the best spots to get close to the animals and navigated the challenging roads with ease. All the hosts at the accomodation were friendly and the food was tasty and in good quantities.

Just Perfect!
I recommend Lenchada to anyone who wants an unrivaled experience and a superbly organized safari from start to finish!
4 days in Ma'ai Mara and Nakuru.
Everything was completed, and I was very pleased with the trip!
We resolved all issues with manager Collins.L via email, picked us up from the hotel, and dropped us off at the end.
Accommodation in a comfortable Lenchada camp, excellent meals, unlimited water, and a jeep safari for 8 people. Very comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone.
We saw the entire Big 5 more than once.
Very close to the car. Our guide and driver, Ted, was simply wonderful.
In Nakuru, we saw white, gray, and black rhinoceroses, a huge number of pelecani and flamingos, and of course, lions, elephants, buffalo, gazelles, giraffes, and zebras.
These were memories to last a lifetime.
Huge thanks to all the safari organizers! I hope to see you again! From start to finish!

A perfect tour guide James Gichina
Especially, our tour guide James Gichina is grate. He is very kind, friendly and has a good community so it was easy to find a lot of animals including BIG5. This was our first time to visit safari in Kenya, but we are very satisfied.

Amazing driver—kind, funny, skilled, and always focused on giving you the best experience.
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Shem. From start to finish, he was amazing—kind, funny, incredibly skilled, and always focused on making sure we were getting the best possible experience and true value for our money.
The landscapes were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to see a huge variety of wildlife. Shem’s knowledge truly elevated the experience: he shared fascinating information about the different species we encountered, as well as insights into the geography, history, culture, and fun facts about the places we traveled through.
We always felt safe, well accompanied, and taken care of. We never lacked water or food, and Shem was always happy to accommodate stops whenever we wanted to take photos or simply enjoy the scenery. His driving was excellent, and his calm, positive attitude made every day enjoyable.
Shem genuinely cares about his guests and goes above and beyond to ensure you have an incredible experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and enriching tour.
