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.

Wonderful safari tour at a good price
We had a fabulous experience with Lenchada safari . We did a 5 day tour & loved everything about it . Our driver & guide Leonard was outstanding in his professionalism, knowledge, consideration & helpfulness . He helped us so much with photo, SIM card & toilet stops & was great company with lots of laughs . The tent camp , Matfarm & Taphae accomodation were cute & suitable. The breakfast & meals were wonderful with lots of meat &. vegetable choices at the buffet . The whole safari was smooth, hassle free & I highly recommend it .

Amazing Safari with good comfort camp, vehicles, and staff, Recommended!
I recently went on a 3 day Safari of the Maasai Mara and had an amazing experience. I was amazed by all the animals we saw and the comfort of the vehicle and camp we stayed at (with luxury tents that make you feel like you are not camping, but just in a regular room). Our driver Ben was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. And Alex who helped me organize the tour was very attentive and quick to respond. I highly recommend you do your tour with Lenchada Safaris, they know what they are doing and give a great service at a very reasonable price!

The driver adapted to our wishes but it had to be clearly formulated
We have learned little about animals and stories. The guide was very quiet it was often unclear what happened next

Amazing people that provide amazing experience
We had superb tour guide Leroy, which made our experience the best. We had 5 days, Masai Mara - Nakuru - Naivasha trip, every day Leroy did something fantastic to provide us with the good emotions only. Also, he was informative, caring and we felt safe all the time. We also came close to many animals and we were in many places with no other cars at all (even tho it was almost the start of the season).
Wanna thank our manager Collins, who also answered all the questions before booking and made the whole process easy. Thanks a lot guys, from Egor, Vika and Nastya!

Unforgettable trip
We had Andrew for our safari. He was a very careful driver and stopped whenever we wanted to take a photo. When he got any tips from other drivers about sightings of animals he would take us there immediately. We had seen a large herd of elephants crossing in front of our jeep. Then an hour later another herd of zebras crossing! Just when we couldn't believe our luck, a lion walked gracefully in front of us. The experience was much better than what was hoped for. Everything was great until we were told about the demonstratons around the county. On the last day of our safari, Lenchada instructed Andrew to take us back to Nairoibi early in the morning at 5.45am so that we could arrive at the capital Nairobi before situations got worse . There was concern on the safety passing some townships on the way to Nairobi too. Leaving early in the morning to avoid unforeseen trouble on the 5 hour drive to Nairobi, but it also meant that we had to miss an early visit of the national park. We were happy with the arrangement as we had spent a whole day inside the national park the day before and to us safety was always the top priority. Andrew did make two stops for us to take some amazing photos of the sunrise against the Mount Kilimanjaro. When we were getting near the city centre in Nairobi, all the main roads were empty and we could see people gethering. We made it into the hotel just in time as and an hour later, there were crushes between demonstrators and police and tear gas were everywhere in the city centre. If We had not been back an hour earlier, we could not have been able to go anywhere near the city centre and our hotel. We are extremely grateful that the tour company Lenchada and Andrew the guide got us back safely. We loved our safari holiday and we hope we could come back again to beautiful Kenya.

Once in a lifetime experience!
I had booked a 3 day 2 night Safari experience and had one of the best times of my life. I got picked up and dropped on time. I had LeRoy with me as our driver and guide. He was just amazing. His knowledge and love for the Mara was very evident. He knew all the hot spots for the animals, knew the history, the mannerisms and kept us informed throughout. He gave us the best viewings and got close to the animals without disturbing them so that we can get some good pictures. I am vegetarian so he kept a check of me and made sure I got something to eat. It was fascinating to drive around the mara, see the animals up close and the scale of it all.
