Amazing agency
Last April I booked a 4 days safari in the Maasai Mara with Lenchada Safaris.
Alex, my main point of contact, was very friendly and always available to answer my many questions. He really did his best to ensure I would have an exceptional time in the park, which I had!
I had two different drivers: Denis and Isaac. Both of them where very kind, with a lot of knowledge about the park and the animals we encountered. They made sure we would see the most of it and enjoy an exceptional wildlife.
I've also really liked the place we stayed. If you can, ask Alex for the deluxe tent, it is really much more comfortable than the standard one.
The staff was also very friendly.
The only 'downside', would be the food. It's a buffet with nothing exceptional. The quality is okay but definitely not great.
Even worst would be the lunch with dried chicken and empty sandwiches. As I was on a budget safari, I guess it is normal not to expect a 5 stars meal, but i believe there is definitely room for improvement on this side.
But honestly, food put aside, I would give a 5 stars to Lenchada Safaris. I deeply believe that it would be extremely difficult to find something with a better value for money. And their customer service is just so good :)

Evans was extremely helpful and knew exactly how to make the trip great!
My time with Lenchada safaris exceeded my expectations! We saw all of the animals and got extremely close. We needed to get a covid test and they arranged everything as well as arranged airport drop off for us! The whole trip ran extremely smooth and was a fantastic experience!

Great experience
I really recommend lenchada safaris. Alex is quick at responding and provides detailed information about the whole trip. Moses was our guide and driver. He is a very cautious driver and excellent at spotting animals in the maasai mara.

It was excited!
Went together to Masai Mara Park. I would like to express my gratitude for the positive emotions to the organizers. Thanks to Alex, Richard for the offer and to the Denis-our guide for return to work because he showed us all the big African five, tried to drive closer everywhere so that we make good photo also had a very good price. Also thanks for the punctuality and good accommodation and meal. I recommend definitely!

Lenchada is the Pride of Masai Mara Safari-----
Lenchada Safari.... I still remember the smile and kindness of Mr. Alex... Yes Alex is the CEO of the Company, but a ground to earth personality.
When Initially I made a enquiry through Safari Booking, within minutes I got a call from Kenya, stated that I am Alex Calling from Lenchada Safari.. from that point I feel that this company will be secure and reliable as they take good care of customer, and they believe the customer is the King. But still I made few other enquiry with other group like KARIBU SAFARIS, Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris , Enchoro Wildlife Camp Masai Mara, Jocky Tours and Safaris - , Spirit of Kenya, Right Choice Tours & Safaris, Mufasa Tours and Travels, Tekko Tours and Travel, Deep Forest Safaris.... unfortunately they all are very expensive... some of them are 300% higher than Lenchada.... and Alex provided me a best price for 3 of us with a Landcruiser Jeep Safari... The price given by him was the best and cheapest, So we thought that he might be cheating... because this what we all think about African People... But believe me, this gentlemen changed my complete thought about Africa, and I felt very guilty about misunderstanding the African People.
On first Day, he personally came to pick us in Nairobi with one of his Driver Mr. Jack. Unfortunately I had some bad experience with the Hotel I choose to stay on arrival to take some rest, the Name of the Hotel is Eldon Villas, they snatched $500 from my purse and even not ready to review the CCTV. When I was arguing with the Hotel Staff, My friend Alex was waiting for me in the gate and he said "Abdulla... Dont worry about the Money, You can start your trip and Pay me later or after you go back to the country"... I was very upset with the Eldon Villas... [Eldon Villa is a hotel which I personally choose to take rest on first day, and it is not part of Lenchada Package]
Then we start our Trip, and Driver Mr. Jack was also very kind and helpful. He dont feel happy unless we are happy and enjoyed, such a nice and gentlemen.
As part of Lenchada Package, On first 2 days we stayed in Lenchada Camp - Very Nice and ecofriendly Camp. Due to geographical location the Wifi is not there and electricity is available in the Morning and Evening. However you required Electricity in the Morning and Night Only just to charge your gadgets, remaining time your busy with Game Drive and the room temperature is about 15-20, so you dont feel hot also. This Camp provide Good Food, and 24 Hrs Hot Water too...
First 2 Days we had a Game Drive in Masai Mara National Reserve (Ollolaimutia Gate), Yes we are very luck to see the Big 4 very close to our jeep (Lion, leopard, Cheetah and Elephant), also we find several other animal too like Giraf, Buffalo, Zeebra etc....
3rd Day we went to Masi Village, and Drive to Nakuru National Park, From Nakuru we are able to Find the Rhino and Lion with Cub... and Flemingo...
If you have any Plan to go to Masai Mara - You must go with Lenchada Safari, and make sure you got a Drive with Mr. Jack or Mr. Abdulla, it doesnt mean the other drivers are not good, this 2 are the driver which we personally experienced and highly recommended. They know each point where they can find the Big 5, and they are highly knowledge about the animal and plant, they can give you a detailed information about it.
Better dont choose your drive with Van, because the drivers will have limitation to take you to the off road and it is not comfort... Always choose your Safari with the Jeep....
Again... If you have any plan to Visit Masai Mara Park... Choose Lenchada Safari with Mr. Abdulla or Mr. Jack....
