I customized group tour and it was terrific
I am so pleased with this tour. It was far beyond my expectation. The drivers made great efforts to be able to see animals up close. It was a lot of fun. This is my first safari and I am so glad I did it.
By the way, I CUSTOMIZED the GROUP tour. Yes, you can do it if you wish. I did 8 days group tour(Masai Mara 3 nights, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli 2 nights). It was a great choice for me.
But, there were problems. At Masai Mara, I was not connected to the next jeep because it was full. I asked for the next game drive, then I was given a private jeep which was nice. But there were no further tour. So I asked the lady at Lenchada camp to call the tour company and ask for the next tour. She did great job and next day I was transferred by a private car to the next destination Nakuru. Then I joined another group but the tour ended at Naivasha. So I asked the driver to connect me to the Amboseli tour. Then I joined another tour to Amboseli. So, everything I contracted were given, but I had to ask for it every time.
I think this is a rare case. Customized group tour was not on routine work, so it caused problems.
Even after considering these problems, my honest rating is five stars. The safari tour was once in a lifetime excellent experience.
Lenchada Safaris and Jocky Tours are the parters and they do safari tour together. Both of them are very reputable and I do recommend them.

Really good!
I didn't plan the trip at all but went along with a friend and it was absolutely worth it. I recommend it for everyone who's visiting Kenya as Masai Mara is not to be missed and Lenchada are professional and warm. Masai Village is also a good experience but the souvenir market is not recommend as they often sell you overpriced souvenirs that are not authentic.

Amazing 6 days safari with Lenchada and driver Abdul
The safari is amazing, they arrange very well. I saw all big five, lion babies, leopard eating on the tree, and cheetahs hunting even. The driver Abdul is so nice, he’s always trying to make us see more animals and always has energy. I definitely recommend them !

Affordable Wildlife Adventures!
Dickson truly went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our safari experience, especially when it came to spotting all of the Big Five. His dedication to meeting our group's expectations was exceptional. Aside from a slight disappointment with the Maasai Village experience, everything else exceeded our hopes.
While the village visit had its downsides—a mandatory $20 fee and "uncomfortable sales tactics"—Dickson's expert guidance on the game drives and wildlife encounters more than made up for it. Unfortunately, one lady in our group had an uncomfortable experience during the visit, which serves as a reminder for everyone, especially women, to be cautious.
For future travelers, I recommend bringing binoculars for the game drives and toiletries if you're staying in a camp. These small preparations can make your safari even more comfortable and enjoyable.

Nice choice for budget
Good choice if you are travelling on budget. Changed group multiple times but have seen all I want and those on the itinerary

Superb safari experience
I booked this trip with my son and it was everything I expected. For an affordable price we visited the Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Amboseli, they were all beautiful and well preserved.
Our driver Dickson was very caring, he made sure that everyone in the car is always comfortable and happy. He is also professional and always managed to find the best spot for photos.

Excellent service. Best guides
Communication is fast, precise and reliable.
This was our 2nd time already with Lenchada Safaris as we trust them and knows that they will look well after us, even in the smallest requests.
Our guide was Robi, the most sensitive guide towards his guests I have ever met!
Many thanks Lenchada for a wonderful 6day unforgettable Safari

Very professional and well organised
It was an excellent trip especially our guide John was gem of a person he made it wonderful for us
Very satisfying trip with some room for improvement
Overall very satisfying trip.
Good : Our driver, Dickson, was professional, knowledgeable and caring. He was always trying his best to spot animals and was kind and respectful to everyone in the group. Also very good driving skills.
The two full days in Masai Mara and Amboseli are definitely the highlight of thr trip, beautiful scenery and we saw all of big five.
Food and accommodation are surprisingly decent.
Bad: The Masai village is definitely not recommended. Though this is not the fault of travel agency nor driver, I still feel like being robbed(one guy tried to take my watch!).
The planning of the program could use some work. There were a lot of non-stop driving, we missed some activities due to traffic and unforeseeable incidents, but no detriment to the overall experience.
I would still recommend anyone to take on this wonderful journey, just beware that this is a budget trip, so set your expectations accordingly.
