Everything I could have hoped and wished for! Superb!!
5/5

When initially searching for a tour I contacted a large number of companies, Lenchada were quick to reply, friendly and a very good price.

Accommodation:
The guesthouse we stayed in the first night was wonderful and the staff could not have done more for us. The food was also incredible and they even cooked us some food when we arrived as we had missed lunch. We then went on to the Lenchada camp where we stayed in tents with real beds and a full size bathroom, it was way more than we were expecting. When they said camping we literally thought it would be a tent in the middle of nowhere! So we were very pleasantly surprised. Again this camp bent over backwards for us and nothing was too much of an ask for them.

Safari:
We first went to Naivasha Lake where we took a boat ride and saw many hippos, birds and other wildlife. The guy Joseph who took us out was great, very informative and also even let us get off the boat and go over to the Giraffes (this was an incredible experience looking up a giraffe from 3 feet away). We then went on to Nakuru where we went on a game drive around the national park. We saw white Rhinos and many other animals and it was a great way to dip your toe into it before Masai Mara.
Next up was Masai Mara and 'oh my goodness' what an incredible couple of days did we have! We saw everything we set out to see, Lions, Zebras, Hippos, Elephants, Giraffes, the migration, Cheetahs and the list goes on and on and on......

Guide:
Finally....our wonderful guide James! He literally made our trip incredible, I have never met a guide who is so knowledgeable and cares so much about you getting as much out of the experience as possible. Jimmy was in constant contact with his friends on the safari and when he got a call that there were animals nearby he would literally get us there as quick as possible so we wouldn't miss out. I cannot stress how great this guy is and how incredible he made our trip........If I were you I would ask for Jimmy ;)

A word of advice.....if you are thinking about doing a tour definitely book with these guys as you will not be disappointed!

An Experience for Lifetime....
5/5

It was an amazing experience with Lenchada Safaris. .
Since the first e-mail to drop off at hotel at the end of the tour everything was perfect .
On the way from Masai Mara to Nakuru we were taken to Lake Naivasa for a boat ride that was not included in our itineraries...so relaxing and enjoyable.
Tents and hotel was just as it was mentioned and simply perfect. Staff members of the tents were nice and cordial. Foods were fresh and good. Water bottles were adequate for all.
Isaac our guide...an experienced driver ,a guide with huge knowledge, such a nice human beings.
He take concerns of everything.
we get the best from the drive and take proper rest.
Thanks to all Lenchada Teams.
Specially Isaac ,Alex Ombeva,Minneh...whomever I came in contact in any means.
Just keep it up.

Great Safari with a very nice and experienced guide!
5/5

We went on a 5 day Budget Safari to Masai Mara and the lakes and it was an unforgettable experience. Not only did we see the big 5, but we also had an incredibly cool group with people from all over the world and tons of fun with them on the road. This includes Richard, our guide. He made sure we had whatever we needed, be it information, food/water or anything else and shared his knowledge as well as many a joke. The accommodation was also much nicer than expected on a budget Safari, especially the camp next to a Maasai village and the sweet hotel at Lake Nakuru. Me and my boyfriend both recommend Lenchada - especially with Richard as your guide.

Lenchada Safaris offered a wonderful tour package and followed the itinerary beautifully.
5/5

The service and tour was exceptional. The van was very comfortable and clean and allowed for excellent viewing in all directions. The stocked water on the game drives was very helpful. Dennis was knowledgeable and personable as a driver and guide. Communication throughout the reservation process was always timely and I appreciated the morning call from Alex before the driver arrived the morning the tour began.

Very Friendly!
4/5

Our guide and driver Kikitu was so friendly and helpful. So lucky! We saw so many incredible animals on the trip. The camp site is ok, but it’s undoing a lot of renovation it seems.

MEMORABLE
5/5

From the very beginning I worked with Eric on putting together our personalized safari itinerary, the communication process was seamless, easy, and very efficient. Eric's response rate was very efficient and quick.
On our safari pick up day, they showed on at 8:40 am sharp, which extremely impressed me. During the safari, Evans was extremely helpful and professional. On our long drive to Maasai Mara, Evans asked about our favorite animals, which we responded Cheetah.
Little did I know then that this simple answer will make Evans drive around Maasai Mara national reserve miles and miles and miles looking for our favorite animal - the cheetah.
In sum, if you are going on safari as a first timer - like us - book with Lechanda Safari and rest assured you are in good hands. As Americans we are very specific of what we want, and they met our expectations. We will definitely reach out to them on our next safari trip.

THANK YOU.

Well organized. Good guide and nice tents in the campsite.
5/5

It was the 2nd time we went in safari with Lenchada Safaris. And it was again a good experience. The guide Evans was always on time, had well informed us on animals. He was careful with us and friendly with my children. Our tents were nice in the campsite. I hope we will travell with them in the future.

Turned out to be an enjoyable experience.
5/5

Out of desperation and because of our limited time in Kenya, we booked less than half a day before the trip without any prior research. Because of this, our expectations were already not that high. But I'm glad to say it was an enjoyable experience and well worth the price. The campsite was great and the food is good. Our tent had solar-powered lights and hot water (although both were not working the last morning but it was not a big deal). The tour itself is exactly what was described in the tour info page. The worst part of the whole thing was the horrible roads but that's hardly the fault of the tour operator.

I just want to thank Lenchada for accommodating our last-minute request to go on this safari.

Amazing trip

I was a solo traveler and I booked with Lenchada safaris for one day tour in Nairobi and two days tour to Amboseli. It was really nice, I had two drivers and they were so kind and helpful.
I really enjoy it.
