they respond fast and all they tell is true
i could not tell what can be done better. if u choose transpo by road then you just sit a long time in traffic, nothing special there, if you can perhaps fly-in is better usage of time, anyhow i was aware that is long trip and i choosed it by car as i went there from red-eye i.e night plane and used this drive to relax and get used to new country, i had most basic accomodation, enjoyed it very much, left tent windows open for a night, even coldish shower dont bother me ... it anyway close to 20c. game watches were all very good, saw all expect leopard and rhino in Maasai Mara, other animals plenty, very closely, long time with them.

Richard was super friendly, knowledgeable, and just an all around amazing safari guide.
Communication was good, and the value was incredible. It is ridiculous how much you get for the price.

This was a fantastic tour.
There are many different tours and it was challenging to decide which one. I found Lenchada to be very professional and reliable. Our tour was just as advertised for our group. The tour included all transportation, all meals, all lodging, and bottled water. The only thing we paid additional was for tips and beers. Richard was our guide and he was with us the whole trip. Richard was a class act and super knowledgeable about the animals and the park. Really you have to do no planning for each day and that makes life easier. The tour was classified as budget, but I actually thought the accommodations were better than I expected. I highly recommend.

Amazing
We are very, very satisfied. Full of many positive emotions. It was an amazing and unforgettable tour, organized and very well planned. Our guide, Jeff, is a very attentive and organized guide, you can trust 100% in everything. We saw all the big five, it was amazing to see them in the wild. Thanks for an unforgettable adventure

Jimmy was absolutely terrific, and gave us a trip of a lifetime
This safari was incredible value: we got to see 3 national parks, see a Maasai village, take a boat tour, and ride mountain bikes. But what made this trip especially wonderful was our guide, Jimmy, who is a skilled driver, and had a great sense of humour and knowledge of where to find specific animals. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted…. a short stop at a mall to get bug spray, for example. When one of our group was sick, he made extra efforts to get her special tea and medicine. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Jimmy, and Lenchada provided excellent value for money.

Professional, friendly, kind, smart, great driver and great human being: Jimmy!
My experience was beyond I expected. The communication with Alex was very good since the first contact. He gave me the options for the Safari with the prices, accommodations and everything I need to know. I booked 5 day Safari and my guide was Jimmy - what a nice surprise. Jimmy is a centred person, professional, he knows what his is doing and wants to make sure you are having a good time. We had 2 wonderful days at Masai Mara first, where we could see the big 5 and also some big actions happening (13 lionesses killing a buffalo and a cheta killing a wild beast). This is not guarantee that is going to happen when you are there, but Jimmy was all the time in contact with the other drivers and speeding up the car whenever he heard something was about to happen. Besides that, I got sick on my 2 day and Jimmy was helping me to get better. He took me at the pharmacy and also gave me some hot ginger and lemon drink that really healed me. I would give him not 5, but 6 stars (: the rest of the days was really enjoyable and I will remember this trip forever! Asante. Thank you very much

Exactly what I was looking for.
Alex and Albert were both great to work with. Alex was flexible with logistics which was tremendous. Albert was friendly and made sure we saw all sorts of wildlife. He was a better driver than the other companies. The lunches were good, the itinerary was solid. I was able to add an extra day to Lake Nakuru easily. The tented camp had simple but tasty food, a hot shower, and a small bar. The staff were all friendly. I did the optional Masi village tour which was illuminating. Great trip, exactly what I was looking for. I'll be coming back with the wife and kids and will be using the same company.

Great safari !!!
It was a great safari and good experience.
Everything was great : the communication with Alex via email. He responded always in the day. The driver pick us at our airbnb on time.
Albert, our guide was kind and discret and he had one goal : to us to see as many animals possible !!!
The tent were surprisingly very comfortable. We slept very well. There is hot water for shower. The food was basic but good.
And the drive game at masai mara: perfect !! You really can trust Lenchada Safari !

Very lovely people, all of them, worth it
Jimmy was our tour guide and he was amazing, very skilled and helpful. We were glad to have him he got us through easily even in the rain with slippery roads and we got to see so many animals all the big five and we even got to see an actual hunting by lions.
The people at the camp were just as amazing and were very caring so we could have a comfortable stay. Would recommend without a thought.

Lovely trip to tick off all the big five
The organisation of the tour was very quick and easy. Alex is very quick with responses and forthcoming.
We got a very good deal for our tour to Masai mara and lake Nakuru, with pick up and drop off, everything worked out perfectly. The accomodations during the trip exceeded our expectations.
Our tour guide Andrew surprised us with his excellent German and English. He was really making an effort during the tour to make sure we get to see the big five and so much more. He's a safe driver and if you want to learn more about the animals or cultural aspects of Kenya he's willing to answer all of your questions. Going with a bigger group in a 4x4 doesn't make it easy for the guide to explain everything so that everyone in the car would get the chance to hear it or someone may have a different need for background informations, so make sure to ask questions, if you're interested in that as well.
