Fantastic. 100% Recommend.
Fantastic. 100% recommend.
This was my first safari ever and I was not disappointed. I had high expectations but I would have never imagined that we would be able to see so many amazing and beautiful animals from so close. Our guide Dickson was amazing at taking us at the right place at the right time, and he would go miles to run and get as close as possible to the animals. Plus he knew so many things about animals and also Kenya, I learned so much and that was really entertaining. He was also super patient with us and always making sure everything was going well. This was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend to everyone.

Great services for afordable price
I am a female solo traveler. The entire experience from contacting Lenchada Safaries to concluding my 3-day safari trip with this company was great. I was skeptical at first booking directly with the Kenyan company rather than with the travel agency. But I decided to give it a try. And Lenchada Safaries totally exceeded my expectations. I felt very welcomed, accomodated, and safe during the whole trip.
I was met at the airport and dropped off by the driver on time. In Nairobi, I joined the group of other travelers and proceeded in a jeep with another driver Moses to the Masai Mara area for the actual safari. Moses was the driver and a tour guide during the entire 3 days safari experience. And he was awesome! He took us to remote areas and got us super close to the animals. He told us a lot of info about the animals and made sure we took great pictures and videos. Talking to other groups at the camps made me feel that Moses was the best guide/driver in Lenchada Safaries. He also offered us additional activities to make sure the group got the most out of the trip. I would highly recommend Moses as a guide/driver.
And definetly upgrading to the jeep because it totally worth it. The vans cannot go to the difficult off-road places that jeeps can, especially in the damp areas. But Moses in the jeep skillfully and safely went through the toughest places without any problems.
So I really enjoyed my trip with Moses and Lenchada Safaries. Perfect for single travelers or groups.

Perfect trip for all my family, we enjoyed it very much
We stayed for 3n/4d, visíted masai mara and then lake nakuru. Then on the way back to Nairobi we even had a chance to enjoy lake naivasha. Everything from the beginning, from first mail contact was perfect. We had a great driver Wilson, he was the best, have seen lots of animals, and enjoyed his perfect funny drive, that was another good part of the trip. Although we had some invonveniences with car, Wilson took perfect care of us. Really recommend lenchada safaris, they are doing the best job👍

6 Days Safari in Masaï Mara, Nakuru Lake & Amboseli
Wonderful experience : we are a family of 2 adults and 2 ten years old kids. We have spent 2 days in Masaï Mara and saw a lot of wild animals. We have slept in Lenchada Camp which is a simple and very clean place. After that we went to Nakuru Lake where the highlight were black & white rhinos and the flamingos. We went in Navaisha Lake where we made a small boat tour and where we were really closed to hypo, giraffes and zebras.
We have finished with Amboseli and its elephants. In Amboseli, we slept @ Mantaro tented camp. I highly recommend this camp : the location is fantastic and the personal very friendly.
A special Thank to Moses, our guide & driver who was always extremely friendly and professional, he gave us the possibility to see a lot of wild animals that other safari car's didn't saw thanks to his high driving skills. He was very caring for our children. This journey will stay in our memories!

Lenchada Safaris provided an amazing and unforgettable safari adventures! Highly recommended! 😊
Wow! My safari experience with this company was made even better by our incredible driver, Jimi! Not only did he navigate the rugged terrain with ease, but his enthusiasm and knowledge about the wildlife added an extra layer of excitement to the trip. Jimi went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible sightings and experiences. I can't thank him enough for making this safari truly unforgettable. Ten out of ten stars for Jimi and this fantastic tour operator!!!

We had a wonderful 6 day budget camping safari organized by Lenchada Safaris.
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari. The wildlife viewing was fantastic. Highlights included approximately 35 lions in one day at the Mara including 3 lionesses and 9 babies, a lioness on a Cape buffalo kill, and a male lion hunting, cheetahs , and all the incredible number of other animals and birds up close. Three black rhinos and 3 white rhinos at Lake Nakuru NP. Impressive herds of elephant with the clear views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide David was extremely professional. Handled very difficult roads with skill in a powerful Land Cruiser. Everyone had a window seat as promised. David explained the habits of the various animals. Was able to spot animals we would otherwise not have seen and to position the Land Cruiser in the best spot to take photographs, always as close as possible without being too close and so that we were not shooting into the sun. When he heard about lions and rhinos over the radio he got us to them very quickly without sacrificing our safety.
We enjoyed meeting the other travellers on this group safari. The permanent tent camps at the Mara and Amboseli allowed us to be close to nature but still enjoy mod cons….large canvas tents with screened windows on three sides on concrete or stone platforms, good beds with sheets, pillows and blankets. Towels. Electricity. Western toilets en suite with showers with hot water. The food was plentiful. Basic local rice, potatoes and vegetables, chicken and beef. Fresh delicious mangoes. Camp fires! A great nature walk around the property at the eco camp at Amboseli led by a Masai, seeing many birds, impalas and a large elephant just outside the electric fence protecting the property.
A well organized safari at an excellent price. Excellent value!

Truly epic adventure
Excellent experience with Lenchada Safaris! Alex was always quick to respond to any amount of questions when I was trying to search and book safari online. Barring from a small miscommunication (which was clarified quickly) everything else went smoothly regarding the booking. Note that they prefer cash/mpesa for booking and card will incur 5% extra during the booking.
Albert was our guide for our 5 day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and lake Naivasha / hell's gate. He was the one who made this trip a truly epic adventure! He was very friendly to talk to and always provided with interesting anecdotes/information regarding nature, wildlife, culture etc. Bonus points to him to make us wake up early for the game drives so that we could see all the wildlife up close when they were awake. Albert is an experienced guide who drives also quite well and will make sure you don't get hurt during the bumpy rides.
Lastly, the vehicle that the company provided was very comfortable and perfect for game viewing.

wonderful experience
We were planning a safari, covering Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and the Hell‘s gate national park. After searching several tour companies, we found that Lenchada tours offers a five day safari which meets our requirements. Moreover we could also customize the tour, selecting a private tour for a mid range accommodation. The tour went smooth and the accommodation was worth the money. Our guide, Albert, answered all of our questions. Because of him, we could see all the big five.
