A beautiful and unforgettable experience! Everything went above our expectations
The four day Safari was a wonderful experience.
Our guide, Khalif, is amazing. If you want to have an unforgettable experience he is the one. We started from Nairobi and drive all the way to the Masai Mara reserve. The vehicle is a pretty new Land Crusier, very confortable and that will look awesome in your photos. We stopped at the rift valley where we got to see some damans. We had lunch at the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge and then we did our first game drive. Khalif has been doing this for years, he knows the park by heart and he is very friendly with the tribes leaving around, other guides and park guards. He took us to the best stops to see lions, giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, hienas and many more wild animals. We ended with an outstanding view of the sunset and headed back to the hotel for dinner and rest. The hotel is very nice, they welcome you with a fruit juice and all meals are buffet. The room looked very cleaned and they prepared it with mosquito nets, it felt quite safe, we came in January and there were not many mosquitos. The second day we woke up quite early and headed for a full day drive game that started with the sunrise. We saw so many animals, and so close. We even had a lion laying out next to our car looking for a shadow. In total we did see more than 30 lions in the whole trip, no kidding, even small cute simbas. We only brought our phone camaras and wow the photos we could took are amazing. Although if you have a camera with deeper zoom better bring it with you. The third day we visit a Massai tribe, the leader took us around and explained our culture. They show us some of their tradicional dances and they even invited to join us. The leader welcomed us inside his home and meet his family. It is very interesting to learn about this humble culture and totally worth the visit. After that we headed to Lake Nakuru and we did our first game drive there in the afternoon. We got to experience several white rhinos and a huge amount of zebras crossing in front us.
Khalif knows a lot about the animals, and he guessed correctly at what time and exact location the rhinos would be crossing so we got the perfect photo. The second hotel is also pretty nice, although we liked more the first. The cool about this ones is that it has amazing views of the park and the lake. If you are lucky as us you might get a room with a full window wall and a terrace looking into the nature, you can even see some animals from there. For our last day we headed to an early morning game drive were we got to see flamingos, more lions and a lot others. Warthogs look so funny.
Honestly when looking for a safari we did not know which to choose and we were afraid to get scammed. But we could not be more happy with the outcome. We felt totally safe during the whole trip, the planning was as described and the whole trip was way more incredible than expected. So I would totally recommend Lenchada tours for anyone that wants to do a Safari in Kenia. If you can choose to go with Khalif better, he will ensure you have fun, you learn a lot, you get to see animals very close and you enjoy the full experience.

Amazing!
We had such a great -4 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari! Alex was super helpful at the organising answering all my questions, and Dickson our driver was amazing! He has 15 years experience so is super knowledgable about all the animals on safari and knows all the spots where all the animals are - it was truely amazing how close we got to some of them! Don’t hestaite to book with Lenchada and also request Dickson as the driver - you will not regret it!

Safari with Dixon is a joy!
Went for 2 days to the Masai Mara with lenchada and our driver Dixon. I have been on safari many times before but have never experienced anything like this. Dixon got us up and close to 3 different cheetahs and 5 different lion families. I can’t believe what I saw! He was so relaxed but also stopped when we wanted another photo of an elephant. He taught us so much about the animals and is always on the road so even could tell us stories about certain animals we’d meet along the way

Great safari
We had a great experience. I couldn’t even imagine that I will see all animals so close to me, 1-2 metres. This safari was amazing. Thank to Lenchada safaris and our guide Wilson Mutua for great memories and best safari!

A captivating experience
From the get go it was really smooth, all the email communications were spot on.
Our guide, Dickson was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, and knew his way around Masai Mara and we were able to spot the big 5 and more. We travelled with 2 little ones (6 & 4) and they enjoyed it so much. It’s an experience to see the animals in the wild.
I found Lenchada to have a whole range of budgets that helped us make a good choice. Loved the experience and can’t wait to come back.

A great various safari tour!
Very good 7days Safari (Massai Mara, Nakuru with the guide James, who did all was possible for us to spend amazing time in wonderfull National Parks. He made sure that we were always where we needed to be at the right time which allowed us to see spectacular animal actions (hyena fighting, lion hunting etc). And his driving was very careful, which here is remarkable! And was always helpful in stopping when we wanted for photos. The vehicle was a little too full on half of the safari (8 people), that's the only downside... Thank you for this good time!

Wonderful safari!
We went from Nariobi to Massai Mara and stayed in Mara Sopa Lodge for 2 nights. Our guide Moses was great. We were able to see all the big 5, and even got very close to leopards, lions and baby elephants. Moses explained everything to us and he was very flexible when it came to accommodating our schedule.

One of a lifetime experience
Thanks to our guide Jimmy, we saw all the animals possible and he told a lot of interesting things about them. The accomodation was far beyond our expectations.
Communication was very smooth, before the trip they answered our emails almost immediately. During the tour Jimmy was very good company, and he was available for us all day all night. Bottled water was provided as well.
Even if it cost twice as much, we would go back again without hesitation!
It’s a must for everybody!
