Excellent tour operator for Masai Mara!
Had an insanely great experience with Lenchada Safaris. I went on a four-day, three-night shared budget safari in Masai Mara Reserve in mid August 2021. I was hoping to see some wildebeest river crossings, and my guide did an incredible job of getting me a great spot to see wildebeest cross the river! To be fair, I was a bit lucky that the wildebeest happened to cross on at least one of the days I was in the park, but Moses got our vehicle to the perfect spot on the river once he heard where the biggest herds were gathering, and from other cars we passed later in the morning / early afternoon, many other guides missed the crossings that we saw. Can't compliment Moses enough - he did a fantastic job of seeking out what each of the people in our tour were hoping to see, and did everything he could to get us in position to witness it (he did such a great job of getting me into perfect positions to view animals, sunrises, and sunsets that my friends are telling me that my photos look like they were taken by a pro photographer).
The accommodations and food were what you'd expect from a budget safari, which was perfect for me. My hope was to witness the 8th natural wonder of the world and to see most of the big 5, and my tour with Lenchada Safaris 100% delivered.

fast response, accurate and caring even before booking
The 3 day safari trip and the accommodation, AA lodge was really wonderful, it will be a pleasant memory for a lifetime!
Our consultant Minneh was more then helpfull even before we booked the trip with them.
Our guide Khalifa was a really good fellow with a lovely personality, and most importantly with great experience, thanks to which we could see animals and situations far beyond what we expected. Being at the right spot at the right time was his biggest streangth, so we didn't have to wait half a day to see lions, cheetahs and leopards up close, or 1000s of wilderbeasts crossing the river. He just always knew what is happening and where. In an 1.500 km2 park this was very impressive and helpfull for me : )
Lastly the 4x4 jeep was a big plus by itself, and worth the little extra cost. I was very happy to take the ride in it, and not a normal van, because this way we could experience a lot more. (Crossing more extreme pathways, and cutting down on the lengts of the route and saving time for more adventure.)
Despite the more than correct price I think we got a 6* service.
I can only recommend the whole team.
If you book your trip with them, you don't have to worry about anything.

Epic Two-Country Safari - Namibia & Tanzania
Epic Two-Country Safari!!!
My aspiration was to safari extensively in Nambia, travel back to Tanzania for a second time to see friends at Chem Chem, and spend time on the northern Serengeti near the Mara River for the crossings. Paul converted my dream, my aspiration, into reality. While Paul is clearly a Tanzania expert, I spent two flawless weeks in Namibia at great lodges with outstanding guides tracking desert Rhino and Lion, spotting desert-adjusted Elephants and Giraffe, visiting a traditional Himba village near one of the most remote lodges in southern Africa, and learning about the remarkable conservation efforts in Namibia. In Tanzania, Paul met me at Lamai on the Sarengeti as my private guide where we enjoyed epic game drives, Leopards and Lions nursing cubs, Hippos, Crocs, my favorite bird – Ground Hornbills - and so much more. His exceptional expertise as a safari planner is exceeded only by his abilities as a Tanzanian guide. Paul is simply the best in the business and now a good friend. Thank you! A fantastic safari!

Amazing Safari
We had an Amazing 7 day safari in Kenia.
Thanks to Antony for organizing all the accommodations, the birthday cake and answering always quite fast on our many questions - even if he was on safari himself.
Our driver was Andrew who was very knowledgeable on all the animals and their behaviour. Also he was quite good connected to the other guides, so that he always knew where to see the animals. We had a lot of lucky days seeing many different animals with kids, on the hunt, eating.
We always felt safe in and outside the parks. Andrew was always friendly and very helpful. His driving skills are fantastic.
Once we come back to Kenya we will book with Tazama again for sure.
We can recommend Antony and Andrew to 100%

Absolutely amazing
My experience with bonfire was absolutely amazing, Kudos to David Kibe. He was so patient and arranged my trip within a very short notice with no hitch. Our guide John, aka Masai, oh my God, he was phenomenal!! He used his Masai instincts to know where the animals a were hiding, we literally captured the best moments of animals in action. Thank you Masai!!
Perfect time keeper and very adventurous.
Bonfire adventures is the best travelling agency and should be ranked as the world leading travelling agency.On my trip to Mara we were offered the best service and each day i could choose bonfire over and over again.Starting from their booking services they are very ready to assist and honestly i got the best service at the most affordable price.

He was very professional in his work
From booking the safari to retuning back to Diani was a stress free experience. We had the most wonderful stay in the masai mara and we saw the big five, coz luckily our camp the mara safari lodge was near where the rhino's are kept. Dickie is a very knowledgeable guy and could answer any questions we raised. All in all we felt we got good value for money and very nuch enjoyed our stay. if in Kenya again we would certainly not hesitate to do another safari with kT & safaris and we would certainly recommend this company.
