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!!

Moses is a great driver with a lot stories about Kenya and animals. Very good!
The trip was absolutely amazing! We were picked up from the hotel by Moses. Moses is a fantastic tour guide and a very good driver. He took us to the camp, it is 5-6h drive from Nairobi. The camp is just outside the Masai Mara park. We lived in big tents, with comfortable beds and fully equipped toilets. The food was tasty, there are vegetarian options.
We met many children and Masais. You can give them some gift such us: pens, pencils, notebook, hats, BALLS (any balls, even used, for volleyball, football, tennis balls they love to play, and theirs are really used) or toys !!! They appreciate it.
The trip to park was excellent, we didn’t expect to see so many animals. Moses knows the park like his own home and took us to the best spots. The only thing we didn’t see was a rhino, but is is very rare.
We are amazed by organization and the trip. When you are leaving early take warm clothes (also a hat) mornings are cold and windy.
We spoke a lot to Masai, they are very friendly, like to talk and tell you all about they lives. Leave a lot of tips, because they have big families and they live from the tips.
We also went to Masai village. At first we didn’t know if we should go, if the people don’t mind it. It turned it they really like tourists and enjoy sharing they couture. Highly recommend buying things from them so they can pay for their children’s school. We also visited the school, the kids really wanted to talk to us.
All in all we are very happy!

Best tour guide in all of Kenya
Our tour guide Solomon really made our trip extra special. His knowledge of the animals and the parks was impressive and he always had a great spirit. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time!
We took the budget safari and we’re also super surprised at the accommodations which were well beyond our expectations. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, from booking to the camp staff
Overall totally life changing experience and you can go wrong with Lenchada. And if you’re lucky you’ll get Solomon

It’s been a great experience
We had a great experience!
TLDR;
We got in touch through safaribookings.com and Alex was quick to respond. We booked a 4 day private tour for 2ppl and paid a 100USD deposit through a website. On the first day we got picked up from our hotel nice and early by Gerald in his (tidy and clean) 4x4. He took us to the company’s office where we settled the outstanding bill for the tour. We had some trouble with our preferred card, but Alex and the team were very understanding and offered their mobile to call our bank. In hindsight we should have paid cash (to also avoid the tour company’s card fee, which they were very transparent about from the beginning). We then got on our way to Masai Mara with Gerald. Due to the slight delay with payment, he was very keen for us not to miss our lunch at the hotel and got us there in good time. Throughout the safari, he was on time and eager to accommodate our wishes. He frequently communicated with all the other drivers in the area to not miss any great sightings. Overall we had a really good time and would recommend this tour company to other safari goers. Thank you to Gerald, Alex and the team!

Solomon is the best tour guide.
We are so blessed to have Solomon because he is an incredible tour guide. His knowledge of the parks; animals; and where to find them were extraordinary. He was so patient and answered all of our non-stop questions, with grace and good humor.
He was super helpful and caring making sure that everyone in the group was taken care of in the best way.
I honestly feel that my trip would not have been as amazing without him! Thank you Soloman for this incredible experience!

Trustable
Lenchada did a very good job. Alex is a committed person, really professional, he aligned and clarified everything with me by email and manage to attend to everything, with no need for us to keep chasing him all the time. Also, he kept an eye on the Safari always calling the guide driver to make sure that is everything going smoothly as it should be. The guide WILSON, is definitely an experienced person on safaris, he has knowledge about animals and knows the park and the places. We saw the BIG5 and arranged breakfast to be taken in the savanna to optimize the time, was a nice experience.

Excellent!!! Exceeded all expectations :) Thank you
James was the best guide for the Maasai Mara safari - he went out of his way to make sure everyone was taken care for and delivered as promised. Because of his hard work, we saw the elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and even the famous and shy leopard. Highly recommend James and Lechanda Safari.
