The driver adapted to our wishes but it had to be clearly formulated
We have learned little about animals and stories. The guide was very quiet it was often unclear what happened next

Very Friendly!
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.

Good safari for a very reasonable price
We have very much enjoyed safari with Lenchada Safaris and their guide Joseph. The route was Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Lake Naivasha - Hell's Gate, and we've seen a lot of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The conditions were simple (and we aimed for it, because cool suites are out of our budget), but all the needed things (hot shower etc) were in place. The guide was receptive and knowledgeable. These guys provide very good value for mojney ratio. If you're coming for nature and don't need luxury conditions (which you're going to enjoy just during night's sleep anyway), they're your choice.

Excellent tour featuring great organization, good food, nice group of people, and fantastic guide.
The tour with Lenchada Safaris was great overall. John, our tour guide was absolutely fantastic, he was very friendly, organized the trip well, and went above and beyond to make sure we get as close to the animals as possible in a safe way. The food and organization were both good. Lenchada Safari made it possible for us to stay at a different camp than originally included in the tour. We booked a three day Safari and were given the option to visit a Masai village without extra charge on the third day. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because we were charged an extra 10 Dollars for pickup from the Airport in Nairobi which was not communicated in advance.

Good camp and awesome safari! Our driver James was the perfect guide for us.
The camp have good tents and you have your own bathroom. Food was simple, but good. You'll be next to the Masai Mara, and close to a Masai village, that made the experience amazing. Our driver, James, was gifted to find animals into the park and allowed us to enjoy our safari in the best way. I recommend this camp and safari!

Spectacular with a Side of Vexation
The main day of our safari, we were very blessed and got to see almost every major species of animal possible in Maasai Mara. That being said, the drive was quite frustrating at times. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable but also restless. Every time he decided to stop so that we could take pictures, he would suddenly shift gears and floor it or move us back and forth unnecessarily and without warning. Some people got hurt, and a few of us have really blurry pictures of the sky and apparatus of the open roof as it hit us in the face or chest from the whiplash. James was a great driver other than the twitchiness, however. He never got us stuck in the mud like we witnessed other drivers do and really did do his best to help us see the animals as clearly and closely as possible while keeping us safe. Other main annoyances like the terrible roads weren't his fault. The only other suggestion I'd have is for him to keep certain comments himself; the picnic would have been a lot more comfortable without them.
The places we stayed in were nice as were the meals. Hm, perhaps the vehicles could be better suited for safaris rather than just regular vans, though. The one were we in was cramped as far as legroom and storage space and barely up to the challenge of the Maasai Mara roads.
