Friendly, flexible and supportive staff
Since Day 1 the staff was very warm welcoming and full of zest. They were always responsive to our needs and wants throughout the trip and flexible enough to accommodate them. You could go looking for insightful information about Kenya to them and they were friendly and kind enough to help you out.
Shout out to Felix, Joseph, Joan, Bob and the rest of the team for making this a memorable trip !!!

Leroy our tour guide and driver was nothing short of amazing
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a
3 day masai mara adventure organized by lenchada safaris, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences of my life. From start to finish, the company exceeded all my expectations.
The customer service was exceptional. Our tour guide and driver, Leroy, was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing his love for Masai Mara . He went above and beyond to ensure everyone in our group was comfortable and engaged, offering insightful his context and personal anecdotes about the park and the wild animals that enriched our experience.
One of the highlights of our trip was the variety of unique experiences from the cheetahs to lions, leopards and also the elephants.
I wholeheartedly recommend lenchada safaris to anyone looking to explore Masai Mara or any other destination they offer. Their commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences is evident in every aspect of their service. I look forward to booking my next adventure with them and creating more unforgettable memories.

Exceptional Maasai Mara Safari Experience with Expert Guide Leroy
I went on a wonderful three-day safari visiting Maasai Mara. Starting from Nairobi, the journey was well-organized and smooth. Our driver and guide, Leroy, was exceptional. His expertise and dedication to ensuring we had the best views of the wildlife made all the difference. Leroy's ability to navigate and, most importantly, position us perfectly for animal sightings was remarkable, even when other vehicles were competing for the best view. Thanks to him, we had incredible close-up encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, baboons, ostriches, hippos, two leopards, and even a cheetah ambushing a herd of gazelle. His knowledge of the animals and their behaviors enriched our experience, making every moment in the park educational and thrilling. The accommodations were comfortable and the food delicious. Overall, this safari was an unforgettable adventure and great value, largely due to Leroy's exceptional skills. If you're planning a trip to Maasai Mara, I highly recommend requesting Leroy as your guide. You won't be disappointed!

Two-day Gorilla Trek and Tour
We booked a gorilla trek through Wild Travel Safari, and it was amazing. My wife and I were picked up by a driver (Edwin) from our hotel in Kigali. Edwin was there exactly at the time we'd arranged. He was polite and clearly explained what we`d be doing, We stopped at the Kigali Genocide Memorial and from there drove to Bwindi Bakiga Lodge. On the way, we crossed at the Katuna border. Edwin helped make sure we got through easily - we had purchased our Ugandan Visas ahead of time. The Lodge was great - we got there around 5pm. Dinner was included, and so was breakfast. Early the next morning, we went to the start point where we were given the overview of what to expect. The hike took about 1.5 hours to find the gorillas. They were so amazing. Six of us on the hike plus three guides and porters. We got about 1.5 hours with the gorillas, saw babies, juveniles, females, and the silverback. It was one of the single greatest experiences of our livesthe walkout took about 2 hours. From there, Edwin drove us to Queen Elizabeth National Park. It was a very long drive, but Edwin was an excellent driver.
Our experience with Wild Travel Safaris couldn't have been better. Richard and his staff were clear, responsive, and able to make our trip an incredible experience. Iwould have no hesitation in using them again and would highly recommend them!!

Great experience with Thom from Great Escapes
Absolutely wonderful experience and respectful contact with nature. Thom is an exceptional guide, both for his kindness, friendliness and availability and for his preparation and professionalism. His knowledge of the territory, of the animals and their habits, of local receptivity, of the cultures encountered is essential to be able to enjoy this experience fully and in complete safety. During our tour he managed to make us meet giraffes (one day we were in the middle of a herd of 17 giraffes!), zebras (herds of hundreds), wildebeests (we witnessed about 5,000 specimens crossing the Mara river), lions (we also witnessed the hunting of a jackal by two lionesses), hippos, rhinos, various antelopes, elephants, baboons and monkeys, etc... at each encounter Thom helped us interpret their movements and behaviors in the herd, greatly enriching the experience. I recommend letting Thom design the tour, because he knows where the animals are when you are planning to go. Also ask for help with international flights. We didn't do both things and, after meeting Thom, we know that we could have trusted him with both things, and made planning our trip much easier. 150% recommended

13 days Kenya and Tanzania Safari
Four of us booked a safari through Kenya & Tanzania with Inspired Feet Safaris. Fiona is a very dedicated organizer and was available at any time during our trip if we had any questions.
We were also very happy with our drivers. In Kenya we traveled with Antony, who was not only really nice & helpful and found the best places to see the animals up close, but also always had a quick solution for every problem we encountered.
In Tanzania we had a more laid-back driver in Omar, who was always able to tell us a lot about animals, nature and culture and had an answer to every question we had.
We were completely satisfied, saw and experienced an incredible amount and can recommend Inspired Feet Safaris to anyone who is planning to go on a safari in Kenya (& Tanzania).
However, especially as a European you should be aware in advance that you are traveling to a country with significantly lower living standards. We certainly stayed in much better accommodation than many locals live there. Nevertheless, you have to make some compromises compared to the luxurious life we ​​are used to in this country.

Perfect organization!
We did 12 days of safari with guide/driver and cook, camping, in a private 4x4 for our couple. We were delighted with the team who accompanied us (Chabani and Erick) who took great care of us (the meals were exceptional!). The organization of Chalema Safaris was well established. We saw a lot of animals, beautiful landscapes and the cultural stops were very interesting (Maasai villages, banana plantations, Tanzanite and even craft shops). The only downside will be the dilapidated sanitary facilities in the camps, the price of which is disproportionate in relation to the non-existent services (lack of water, lack of lighting, doors that never close, nothing to put or hang anything on, etc.) . Fortunately, the discomfort was offset by the presence of wild animals even in the campsites since they are not fenced.
