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.

Lenchada safari and guide-driver Kikitu are the best!
We had amazing experience in planning of our safari with Lenchada safaris and fantastic safari itself with their guide-driver Kikitu.
Lenchada safaris perfectly organized everything for us and offered very affordable price. We just enjoyed our adventure from the begining till the end.
Kikitu made our safari interesting and breathtaking. He is a real professional. Kikitu knows everything about animals, he can spot them and show you from the best point even if they are hidden on the tree, under the tree or in the bushes. For these couple safari days he will just open for you the whole world of wild African nature. We seen the Big Five for one safari day, we were watching the lions, leopard and cheetah from arm's length, we were observing herds of elephants, rhinos and giraffes somewhere in the heart of Africa. It was such an amazing experience! Kikitu did his best to make our safari full of surprises, emotions and fun. We highly appreciate it!

Best experience ever!
Booking the safari with Lenchada safaris was the best choise we made. We would definitely recommend these guys as professionals - they provided us several options on our request, helped to choose the best one, and arranged amazing safari experience - we just had to enjoy and don't worry about anything because each day and each hour was well-planned and organized. In addition, their price was better than other companies offer for the similar safari program (we compared 6 offers from different safari companies).
From the begining when we were looking for the best safari company and till the end of our trip everything was just perfect - communication, timing, price, quality, choise of the lodges (they advised us the best options for our budget) and of course our guide-driver KIKITU. This man deserves our special appreciation. Kikitu made these days full of nature, fun and interesting communication. He did his best to let us see the Big Five and even much more than we expected. He is a real hunter who instinctively knows animals who loves the nature with all of his heart and who will share with you his knowledges and experience to help you discover the nature of Africa. Thank you dear Kikitu, hope to see you again for our new African adventures!

Extremely professional and accomodating.
All thanks to our guide Kevin we had such a great experience. He has been so kind and helpful with all of us (a group of 7) and I just wish we could have stayed one day more.
He was able to show us everything there was to see in the park and make our stay crazy good.
I recommand the company 100% of course !
Obviously avoid the park during the migration time, we went at the beginning of March and that was perfect.
Brilliant tour of the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park
I booked my Kenyan safari tour through Lenchada Safaris and it has been a once in a lifetime memorable experience. The rare and immense beauty of the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National park was incredible. The animal sightings are very special. Really, the whole tour from the safaris, the accomodation and food right through to our amazing tour guide Dickson (Make sure you get Dickson he is so insightful on the nature, wildlife and very helpful in every department to cover all your needs whilst on tour) I would highly recommend booking a Kenyan Safari with Lenchada Safaris. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Excellent Safari with Professional Operators
Kenyan Safari
We planned 2 night in MasaiMara with stay at Lenchada camp, third day in Nakuru to see flamingos with stay at Buraha Zenoni and Finally Naivasha boat ride and Hells gate visit with stay at Dove Nest Resort. Assigned guide cum driver was Mr. Dickson
Positive experience: All staffs including our guide cum driver were professionals and helpful. We could spot all the top 5 animal right near without any issues, animal knowledge and MasaiMara place knowledge of Mr. Dickson was outstanding. Our team were well connected and nice. Mr. Dickson explained the plan every time we stopped and it was healthy.
Stay at Lenchada camp was good, clean and no mosquitoes or flies.
Nakuru visit was worth too with flamingoes, Rhinos etc. stay and good at Buraha was excellent too.
Naivasha was excellent with its boat ride with wide variety of birds, Hippos etc. Boat driver John was very friendly. Whereas Hells gate was not upto what they say, except... Read more if we could see steam coming out of ground in a nearby point and waterfall.
Areas of improvement : Mr. Dickson had lot of connections all across these places and getting incessant calls which was slightly annoying though he was asking us are you ok?
Some small changes in the plan was bit annoying too.
Dove Nest stay in Naivasha was terrible due to lack of cleanliness and I got food poison too.
Cost of souvenirs were extremely overpriced in the tourist locations whereas we found the same at 10% of its price in a best shop in Galleria Mall at Nairobi further low at Masai Market near diamond Plaza in Nairobi. Mr. Dickson informed the price would be around 50% of what they say but in reality less than 10%.
