James is the best, could not ask for more!
Just finished a 6-day tour and we definitely saw everything! In addition to seeing the animals in their natural habitats, you also get to drive through the towns between the parks and accommodations and see how the locals live. If you have the time, add the optional Maasai village for a truly authentic experience. It will definitely open your eyes to the luxury and privileges you have in your own life.
Our tour guide James was phenomenal! Throughout our time together, we covered over 1,500 km of roads, many of which are quite bumpy and he handled them like a pro in his 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser. Through his 10+ years of experience, he has a lot of connections in the parks and on his radio so he knew exactly where to go to see all of the mammals and birds. He was not afraid to be an aggressive driver to get to the best views. I noticed a lot of other safari drivers being content with a mediocre view. Not James, he would rush to the perfect spot every time so you could get as close as possible. He also had lots of knowledge of the animals, towns, and Kenya in general which was really helpful.
Lenchada Safaris should be a no-brainer booking. Buy with confidence and ask all of your questions before booking. They are very responsive.
If you have any questions from a recent traveler perspective, as well as want to see photos from the 6-day experience, feel free to reach out on my Instagram ~ @DJ_Johnny_Marco

James was the best tour guide ever!
We had an amazing time on our 6 day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. The accommodations and food were great. We had James as our tour guide, and I highly recommend him! He went above and beyond to ensure we saw all the animals and knew so much about them! He was also a great driver, we felt very safe with him! Before the trip, Alex was always quick to answer any questions I had. Thanks Lenchada Safaris!

Kikitu for president
We had an amazing 5-Day Safari in Masai Mara, Naiwasha and Nakuru. Our Guide Kikitu knew a lot about all kind of animals and found them everywhere in the parks. We were amazad of Kikitus fun and still well organized attitude. We can really recommend to go on a Safari with him. The camps were basic but had all you need and was a cool adventure.

Amazing Professional Imformative
I had an amazing 6 days on Safari with my Tour guide Evans. The intenirairy was followed to a tee. Evans made sure we were well informed on the animals profiles and answered every questions I had on the animals. The accommodations were great. We always had buffet style meals with tastes for all people. The lodges were also very comfortable that allowed you to relax at night at either the pool or bonfires. We also saw a leapord which is rare. The jeep was also very comfortable and made heavy terrain a breeze. I would highly recommend this tour to people wanting to get to the 3 Parks in a very effient and effortless manner. Altogether lifetime trip on safari I will not forget

Fantastic Experience that Surpassed Expectations
We contacted Lenchada the day before we wanted to go on a 5 day safari and they made everything super easy from the very beginning!
They responded to us quickly with itineraries and quotes, and from there we met at their office where we were introduced to our tour guide, Solomon.
Solomon was a fantastic tour guide who always kept us in the loop about what the plan was and what was happening next. There were no surprises other than the ones the animals gave us on the safari!
Solomon knew each park like the back of his hand and was very knowledgeable about all of the animals and answered every single one of our questions no matter how annoying / silly they may have been.
Accommodation was better than I expected since this was a “budget” Safari but honestly, it didn’t feel very budget at all. We had a 5 star experience from start to finish.
Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would recommend this experience with Lenchada to anyone. You’ll be extra lucky if you have Solomon as your guide!

Best Safari with Moses!
We chose Lenchada Safaris and we don't regret it! From the start, we got in touch with Alex by email, who was always reactive and helpful. He arranged our airport pick up with Jeff who drove us to the office. All the staff was kind and helpful towards us. So safari started! We chose a six day iconic budget
kenya classic safari throught Masai Mara NR, Nakuru Lake NP and Amboseli NP and we also visit Masai village and Lake Naivasha. Our driver and guide was Moses and my words will not be enough to tell you about him. Always smiling, never tired, he explained us a lots of things about animals, people and Kenya. He knows a lot of intersting things and he was always ready to satisfy our requests and to guide us. He give us an amazing adventure and we will never forget him. Tha parks/reserves are all beautiful, with different landscapes, most of all Masai Mara, our favorite. We had different accomodations, a tented camp, an economic hotel and a lodge and they were all ok, all fine, good food.
Thanks for the incredible experience!

Simply AMAZING
We had 2 days safari in masai mara organized with Lenchada safari company. Alex was really responsive and nice helping us organizing our trip. And about the actual safari experience…it was AMAZING! Dixon was our guide and he was smiley, happy and the best driver that you could get! He knows masai masa very well and he was leading us to see all the big 5 in 1 day. He was explaining a lot about the animals and he’s the best driver that you can get!! Such an adventure, thanks Dixon to make our experience unforgettable!!
