Great budget safari
This is a great budget safari for those who want a no frills experience where you are immersed in the Masai Mara park and Masai culture. I emailed frequently with the owner Alex before I arrived and he was very helpful! I signed up by myself but was added to a group of 5 others and we had a nice time together. Also, I’m very glad I chose the jeep 4x4 versus the mini van, as we had to help a few vans along the way that got stuck on the treacherous roads!
We spent a LOT of time out on safari-I was pleasantly surprised! Our guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and also did a good job of navigating the awful roads around the park. Masai village tour was included and was wonderful!
Lenchada camp is very basic but fine since you are basically just there to sleep. As a single female traveler, I felt very safe at the camp. Food is nothing fancy but flavorful and plentiful!
Suggestions: don’t drink too much water when you are at the Mara since there are basically no bathrooms; bring cash to the camp to buy beer, water, sodas or snacks. A flashlight is helpful for getting around the camp at night. The animals are noisy-earplugs are helpful at night. Bring layers especially if doing a safari in the colder months of June and July.
A few comments: meal times should be more frequent or we should be told to bring snacks. Most days we would leave the camp at 6am and eat lunch around 2pm, which was too long to wait for most of us. We were all starving well before lunchtime each day. Also, I didn’t like that the camp doesn’t provide any drinking water. The safari vehicle did have water but I also had to purchase bottled water at the camp. That seemed a bit strange to not have water available at meals or in the rooms.
All in all, it was a great experience and first safari for me.

Flexible and easy to work with.
Alex was great to work with and gave us a good deal on a wonderful safari! He handled all the details and we really enjoyed Keekorok Lodge at Masai mara. Got to see many great animals and would definitely recommend this safari and especially Lenchada safaris!

Very accommodating,, pickup, credit or cash, provide different food on request. Got right back to me
I looked for a safari Sunday night lenchada safari got back to me within an hour to join them Monday for a 3 day safari. Picked me up from my hotel. Sent someone to me with a credit card reader so I could use my card. And the kitchen cooked different food for one lady and her kids when day asked. Now that's accommodating ☺️I'm glad I chose the tent it made the experience better, the Stars in the night sky, bon fire, great food and hot shower. And of course the thousands of animals roaming in such a beautiful vast landscape. The guides are very knowledgeable of the animals and the terrain, they must have a gps in their heads to be able follow all those different trails. It was one of the most amazing adventure in my life. Thanks

The tour operators is professional, Just booked it through a call.
James was our driver , I booked it through him over the phone & they picked me up the next day. It's a good value for money, the camps were nice.
Opting for 4x4 was a good decision & James gave a great trip of Masai Mara. <3

Kikitu is the life life of the party. He was the highlight of the trip.
Lenchada made my trip so effortless. Everything was well planned out. All I had to do was show up and have a great time.
