Amazing experience, great people
5/5

The Safari experience was amazing and we met lovely people. Thanks to Lenchada Safari, especially Collins and Alex, and to our guide, Papa, for making our safari tour so nice. The communication was very good, always receiving quick answer and support. Papa was a great guide, explaining to us a lot of stories about the animals. In Amboseli he was the only one driving in the right spot so we can see the elephants crossing the road with view to Kilimanjaro. Always helpful, always making sure that everything is OK.
As a less pleasant part, you should pay attention to the accommodations, as the Lenchada Camp does not have wi-fi, they have electricity only between some hours and the breakfast was a bit poor. This was not communicated to us, but we talked with the agency and they made sure that the next locations are good for us. The staff from the Lenchada camp was very kind, we really appreciated their hospitality. We recommend minimum 4 days for Masai Mara, so you can have 2 full days for game drive and more chances to see the leopards. Thanks again for this nice experience!

Unforgettable Experience
5/5

A few days before I came to Kenya, I started looking for Safaris. Thinking about going to Nairobi National Park, I suddenly remembered that the Masai Mara National Reserve is only a few hours’ drive from Nairobi. So, I decided to book a Safari on this website. Thanks to the incredibly fast reply to my request by Lenchada Safaris, I was able to go on a safari with them for four days. I was supposed to go to the Maasai Mara Reserve, Naivasha and Nakuru.

Once I arrived at the Land Cruisers, I was immediately welcomed very friendly and hospitable by our guide, Ali. Very soon I discovered Ali loves his job as a safari guide, and I noticed how much knowledge and experience he has in this field. During the whole trip he was always there for us. He shared beautiful experiences, told us what to expect and always had his good sense of humor ready. In addition, he also had an eye for our safety.

Next to those things he made sure everyone got the best out of their safari. For example, I was hoping to photograph a Cheetah. Through his large network, we found a Cheetah, which however had hidden itself well. However, he assured us through his great acquired knowledge, to be patient and to wait a few minutes. He was indeed right, and I was able to photograph the Cheetah well after it started to move. Another lady was very into all sorts of birds. So, he stopped the car as much as he could when he saw a rare bird, so she could photograph that specific bird.
Today on the last day an American guy really wanted to see the rhinos in Nakuru. And again, he proved himself an amazing guide by bringing us to the rhinos and giving us information about them.

I found the Lenchada tented camp in the Maasai Mara reserve the most beautiful to stay at. In the middle of nature, surrounded by the local population, which opened a great culture with countless stories for me.

In short, thanks to Ali, I was able to experience a great, unforgettable safari. I received information about the different animal species in the national parks, but also laughed a lot and exchanged stories.

Shoutout to Lenchada Safaris and, Ali keep up the good work, until we meet again!!

5/5

Every animal that we have put on the list prior, could be seen, amazing guide, good camp. Memorable. Masai Mara is miracolous. Only the third day out of four makes the 5.0 rating drop a bit. 4.8 for me. Overall, definitely recommended, Evans is brilliant!

Very well organized
4/5

We had a lovely guide/driver (Johny) since Nairobi, who safely and always on time drove us throughout our trip. Johnny is also a very polite, pleasant person, which an extended knowledge of the parks we visited and the animals we saw. He also has an accurate instinct and good vision to find the right animal at the right time. Overall was an amazing experience, but Johny made it even better.

Everything was taken care of extremely professionally right from the minute we landed till the minute we were dropped back to the airport. Richard from Lenchada is your guy if you are looking out for your masai mara kenya wildlife expedition. His network and eye for spotting is one of it’s kind.

Really amazing
5/5

I booked a 6-day tour that included visits to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and concluded with Amboseli. As promised, I was picked up from my hotel on the first morning and taken to the office to complete the payment.

The journey began with our driver, Francis, who was friendly and spoke excellent English.

In the various parks, Francis drove like a professional rally driver. The moment he heard on the radio about nearby wildlife, he skillfully navigated us to prime viewing spots. We were able to get remarkably close to giraffes, zebras, lions, lionesses, a leopard with her cub, and many more.
In Masai Mara, we saw more animals than in any other park. At Lake Nakuru, we spotted three rhinos, and in Amboseli, we experienced a majestic early morning scene: hundreds of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro as a breathtaking backdrop.

The camps where we stayed were comfortable, and while the food was decent (nothing extraordinary), the overall experience was truly remarkable.
