nicely plant - we felt good taken care of all the time.
We traveled for one week to Nairobi, Kenya to do a safari in masai mara. We got a schedule in advance, which activities wed do when, where wed sleep, etc. Schedule could be moved around very flexible, since we had to catch an early flight and super eagles made sure, wed still see everything. There were also some typical "touri-atractions" involved, but we learned, that the city is not the safest place for foreigners so the touri-atractions were in hindsight a good way, to spend the day.
We went during protesting times to nairobi, which were a bit dangerous, but the travel agency as well as the safaridriver made sure, that we're safe (booking of another hotel and leaving the place early in the morning, so we'd be out of the critical zone).
In the city we were picked up and nicely taken care of by Jacobo, who is a very friendly and kind person. He also gave us some insights and information about the country and the city while driving.
We spent 4 days on safari and went there with Benson, who is himself also a very friendly and kind person. If you're planing on going on a safari with supereagles, ask for him. Hes not only a safe and relaxed driver, he knows his way around the city, the savannah, everything. Thanks to Benson we managed to saw the "big 5" and 4 out of the "ugly 5" in less than 48h - he is one of a kind in spotting a sleeping lion in 200m below a bush while driving a car. He was very ambitious to create a special time for us which he managed nicely. He'd alsways find the best spots for taking nice pictures of the animals, so even with just phonecameras we took very nice pictures.
We spent 2 nights in a masai camp and also these people were very lovely and made everyone feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our first trip to kenya. Thanks to everyone, who made sure we had such a lovely time.

Reliable professionals who you can entrust your adventures with!
We decided to go with Gosheni for our honeymoon trip to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Zanzibar because from the very start, their communication and itinerary were clear, thorough, and a good value for all they offered. Being able to work with one vendor to arrange everything was a real advantage. Gosheni arranged our regional flights, hotels, meals, ground transportation and tours, and were responsive to feedback and our priorities. They even helped communicate our dietary needs to each hotel (celiac/gluten-free).
The accommodations Herman & Team Gosheni arranged were all terrific (Kibo Palace, Enkirari, Naserian, Acacia Farm Lodge, Seyyida, and the Z hotel).
The food was tasty everywhere we went. We usually went for veggie omelettes and coffee at breakfast, and delicious soups + stewed meats (or fish in Zanzibar!) + rice + cooked veg at lunch and dinner.
We arrived with open minds and no expectations for our wildlife safari, and happened to catch the tail end of the wildebeest & zebra migration season. The scale of that was breathtaking in a way we couldn’t have imagined - a herd even crossed in front of our sundowner picnic one evening! We got to see lion cubs playing at dusk; grown lions in trees, having a meal and even mating. Elephants, giraffes, hippos, impalas, baboons, cheetahs, flamingos, dik-diks & “Tommies”…even a distant leopard & some rhinos! But the real star of our safari was our guide, Inno. Inno is an incredible driver whom we could thoroughly trust (thank goodness!! Some of the roads are very rough and narrow with steep dropoffs!!). He is also a kind, calming presence with unbelievably sharp eyes for spotting (sometimes at super long distances!) and a passion for conservation.
Our guides in Zanzibar brought a new energy to the last leg of our trip - Alley is a real character, and his brother Omari who drove us is super sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Stone Town, relaxing days on the beach in Nungwi, and very memorable sunset dhow cruise. I brought a book but honestly never cracked it open - it was just too fun and interesting to take in everything happening all around us.
It was the trip of a lifetime, and super helpful to have Herman & Team Gosheni looking after us throughout. Highly recommend.

Our tour operator is professional and responsible.
This tour is special and once in a lifetime. We saw all the animals and captured them with photos. Big thanks to our tour guide who leading us to all the amazing views. The only thing is we didn’t see the animal crossing by end of June, so if you plan to visit animal crossing it would be ideal to come to the trip later during July. But overall we had a great time here.

Definitely mind blowing journey, best trip ever in my life
Kilipath and our guide Kefas has delivered a fantastic journey, it’s beyond what words can describe, we saw all the big cats in the 4 days in Serengeti, had a close encounter with a cheetah, and so many wonderful photos! Our guide is knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the animals, I’ve learnt a lot! The communication is very smooth, all the accommodations are superb, and I would totally recommend them to anyone who’s interested in a safari tour!

Go with Lenchada if you want a great experience at an unbeatable price! (Shoutout to Richie!)
I went on the 7 day budget safari with my wife and our friends and we could not be happier with our experience! Lenchada offered us a great price for an amazing week of activities, adventure, and animal spotting! It was a trip that I will never forget and I have to shout out the most amazing guide, Richie, for making it so memorable!
The Lenchada 7 day budget tour has "budget" in the title, but it feels like way more. We stayed 4 nights at very nice camping sites and 2 nights at great hotels. Everything was clean, we had our own bathrooms with showers, comfy beds, and we were well fed with great food at every location. I can't believe how much was included with our package. And the locations and timing for the safari were perfect. We definitely had enough time to explore places like Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Nukuru, Hell's Gate, and Amboseli. In addition to seeing the sights from our Land Cruiser, we were able to have some great experiences biking, hiking, and boating as well! I would definitely recommend booking the private tour to streamline the timing of things and it makes it easier when everyone in your group is on the same page (saw that with other groups that we encountered).
This trip offers everything that you could possibly want in a safari. We saw the Big 5, plus countless of other animals and birds. We learned about the culture of Kenya and of many of the tribes in the country. We travelled through a lot of the country and had many hours in our vehicle, but it never felt too long because of how nice our vehicle was (a VERY spacious and comfy Toyota Land Cruiser) and how much information Richie provided. He seemed to know about everything that we saw and seemed to know everyone that we encountered. Richie is one of the most knowledgeable and friendly people that I have ever met. It was his expertise that led us to finding so many animals in the parks and also giving us cool experiences to enjoy for ourselves (We sat for 20 min in Maasai Mara with just us and a lone elephant and later a lone lion resting after a meal. Both unforgettable.) He safely guided us through the streets during country-wide protests and we always felt safe with him there. It was an amazing experience with him. I'm very grateful that we had Richie to guide us through our trip and to have him as a friend at the end.
I will 1000% be recommending Lenchada to all of my friends and family that are interested in a safari and I will make sure that they request Richie as their guide as well!

This Kenya trip creating memories to last a lifetime.
This 13-day Kenya trip was unforgettable: tracking the Special Five in Samburu, seeing rare caracals, elephant families playing in water, black rhinos and hyenas competing for lion prey in Sweetwater, waterbirds and lions mating at Lake Nakuru, the Big Five in Maasai Mara with impressive leopards and majestic lions, cheetahs and herbivores, hiking near animals at Lake Naivasha, flamingos and elephants in Amboseli. We saw almost all animals, thanks to Leopard Travel's careful arrangements and Mr. Lawrence's professional guiding. Grateful and will visit Kenya again.

We opted for a budget tour. For such a small price, the safari was fantastic. The accommodations were clean, the food was delicious, and we saw what we wanted—lots of animals. Many thanks to Lizzy, she always answered our many questions quickly and accommodated our special requests. We can only recommend this tour operator.
