Great guides and staff!
We stayed at Ang'ata Camp in North Serengeti. Our guide Josephat were very experienced, professional and friendly. The game drives were fantastic and we saw a lot during the three days we spent at the safari. Also the staff was very helpfull at the lodge and the food was very delicious.
The way the tour operator organised the information and communication between our guide and us was lacking. We didn't get proper information on time about the changes in our flight schedule and it caused a lot of stress both before and after the safari.

Great value!! Amazing animal viewing but company seemed disorganized.
PROS: Great value! The cheapest tour we could find in Kenya and we saw all the same sites! Our guide made great use of the radio network to find the most amazing animals!!! We literally saw every animal you could think of - in one day in the Masai Mara! Literally EVERY animal, including endangered and rare animals. Sami knew where to go to find everything, including the elusive and amazing dik-diks.
CONS: Company seemed disorganized. We were passed around a lot before the tour started and it felt chaotic and unsettling. They changed our itinerary to add 2 guests for the weekend, which resulted in a lot of backtracking on the dangerous Kenyan highways. Our guide was fairly quiet and answered questions when we asked, but spent a lot of time on the radio with guide friends. Every day was a long driving day.
Overall: Great value and worth the cons for the cost.

Very accommodating and helpful!!
Really nice evening sunset cruise! Very accommodating! Made things happen no matter the difficulty. Because of the pandemic, these are just organizers of our trip through Botswana and Victoria Falls, rather than full guides. Victoria Falls, they still just arranged transportation. They found us an opening to go rafting! Super accommodating! There may have been booking extra activities through them.

Exceeded expectation
We booked this tour last minute and did not have time to thoroughly review the operator. We were very fortunate to have been in good hands with Lenchada from the beginning.
Alex was great at communicating swiftly and when I couldn’t pay online was ok about us paying when we started the tour.
Our tour guide James was brilliant! Friendly and good humoured (even when we encountered animals we didn’t expect. He was flexible in the arrangements and so we were able to visit a Maasi Village as well as the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Naukura and Nakuru National Park and finally Hell’s Gate National Park.
We felt exceptionally lucky to have seen all of the big five animals as well as close up encounters with many many more and James was determined that we would have the best experience possible.
James also managed to sort out non-tour related requirements such as helping to arrange Covid tests and collecting a forgotten item from a hotel for me! We certainly felt we have been able to trust the company with the arrangements.
The accommodations have been comfortable and clean with hot showers and good food.
We have had a fantastic experience for our first safari and will definitely recommend Lenchada to our friends. We were fortunate to have a good group and as there were only 7 of us it made the tour really special.

Good budget safari operator, has own chefs and does not sell clients and runs safari even for 2 peop
We booked a 4 day safari and even noone joined it happened as planed. We had a good guide/driver Mourinho and a friendly chef John who cooked us very tasty food. A minibus and places to stay were budget type but good value for money. We saw everthing we wanted even though last day game drive was shorter than expected.

Good value for money
I had a very good experience. The camp was nice food was good. I liked the guide James, he made a lot off efforts so we could see all the animals. Also to go to nakuru, which was great. I would recommend the tour to very one.

efficient
Our guide, Solomon, was very punctual and thanks to his guiding experience we were able to enjoy the sight of very rare animals, including lions and their cubs, cheetas and also their cubs and an amazing encounter with a leopard. The jeep was spacious, very comfortable and the game rides were unforgettable.
The lodges and the tents we had were also of very high standards, the food was excellent and served in copious quantities and all the accomodation staff was very welcoming.
However, we wouldn't recommend the "tree top canope walk" which was charged 30 USD per person and consisted in a 450m walk during which we saw a couple of monkeys (there are literally hundreds of them in the regular game ride happening in the national parc).

Well organized, Uhuru Travel has a lot of knowledge on Tanzania providing a great safari experience!
Uhuru has organized a trip from Dar Es Salaam to Ruaha National Park. The walking safari was the highlight of the trip encountering crocodiles and hippo's from very close distance. Lodge was very nice and well located. All, including air travel, was organized very well and is was a very nice experience.

Elisa was warm and charming, Murchison falls was spectacular
We finished a 2 night /3 day Safari to Murchison falls. My friend who we were visiting booked so I can't comment on communication but it was very good value for money - 2 adults and 4 kids. Pakuba lodge was comfortable with excellent food, our vehicle was comfortable and clean and included were game drives and boat rides. Elisa our driver was wonderful and dedicated to making sure we saw plenty of game. He was punctual, friendly and great with the kids. The only thing was the long drive from Kampala to MF with several stops - I would suggest fewer stops and taking a packed lunch if traveling with kids. Our lodge was 1.5 hours after reaching the gate which made for a long day. Would definitely recommend the company and Elisa!!
